Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the water toward Birds' Paradise banyan island with egrets taking flight, or looking along the Tanjiang River in Chikan toward the historic Qilou arcades and watchtowers, showing water plants and banyan aerial roots in the foreground, the calm river water, wooden boats, and historic architecture in the middle-ground, and the lush forested ridge of Guifeng Mountain fading in the background.
