Pingjiang Shiniuzhai, the "Little Zhangjiajie of Northern Hunan," truly shines in autumn and winter—red leaves dye the Danxia landform, frost and snow cover the cliffs, fewer crowds, stunning views, and an immersive scenic plus stress-relief thrill! 🚗 Transportation: How to get there without detours? - Self-driving: About 2 hours from Changsha/Yueyang, navigate to "Shiniuzhai Scenic Area Visitor Center." Parking fee is 20-30 RMB/day. The mountain roads have many curves, so drive steadily. - Public transport: Take the high-speed train to Miluo East Station/Yueyang East Station, then carpool for 1.5-2 hours to the scenic area. In winter, minibuses run less frequently, so carpooling is more cost-effective and convenient. 🏞️ Must-Do List: Autumn and winter exclusive activities are top-notch! 1. Core Experience: The Collision of Danxia and Ice & Snow Take the cable car up the mountain and instantly enter a "red painting." The hundred-mile Danxia glows warmly under the autumn and winter sun, and after snow, it’s breathtaking—red rocks wrapped in white snow. Walk on the 300-meter glass bridge, like strolling in the clouds, with a vast forest below. No filters needed for photos. Don’t miss the Cliff Sky Eye (the world’s largest trefoil glass platform) with a 360° suspended view. Reach out and you seem to touch the clouds. If you’re timid, hold the iron chains; if brave, strike a pose. 2. Thrilling Activities: Even More Fun in Autumn and Winter Via Ferrata climbing (800-meter route), cliff swing (180 meters high), and cliff ladder (260 meters vertical drop) become more challenging with the wind. Screaming helps release stress. Friendly reminder: if you’re afraid of heights, just watch and enjoy others’ “wobbly legs.” For descending, choose the high-altitude glass slide, a kilometer-long path weaving through the forest, full of speed and excitement, and it saves unnecessary walking. 3. Leisure Experience: Embrace Peace and Romance The ten-mile cliff plank road is perfect for a slow walk, with red cliffs on the left and deep valley forest sounds on the right. In autumn and winter, when leaves have fallen, the mountain lines are clearer, and every snapshot is “wallpaper-worthy.” At dusk, rush to the Dream Valley Fish Scale Dam, where the sunset glimmers on the water like scattered gold; at night, stroll the colorful music corridor bridge, with lights and waterfalls creating stunning night scenes. 🍲 Food: Autumn and Winter Exclusive Local Flavors - Must-try dishes: Cured meat hot pot, Cao radish stewed with cured meat, and native chicken soup. The fatty but not greasy cured meat is exclusive to autumn and winter, and the chicken soup is incredibly fresh. Paired with Pingjiang’s top ten dishes, it’s heartwarming and stomach-warming. - Snacks to satisfy cravings: Pingjiang dried tofu, sweet potato noodles, and sugar oil rice cakes—spicy, satisfying, and filling. You can get them near the scenic area entrance for about 10 RMB. - Souvenirs: Vacuum-packed rice noodles, sour jujube cakes, and fermented bean curd, all handmade locally with authentic flavors and no risk of disappointment. 📌 Practical Tips: Avoid pitfalls and travel worry-free 1. Clothing: It’s 5-8°C colder on the mountain than in the city. Windproof jackets and non-slip hiking shoes are essential. If you’re cold, bring a hand warmer. The glass bridge surface is chilly, so thick socks are recommended. 2. Routes: Short routes take 2-3 hours (suitable for elderly and children), long routes 4-5 hours (full panoramic check-in). “Don’t walk without sightseeing, don’t sightsee without walking.” Don’t hold hands and squeeze through narrow spots. 3. Tickets: Buying online is cheaper than on-site. Regular tickets plus glass bridge combo tickets offer great value. Autumn and winter often have discounts, so check in advance. 4. Pitfalls to avoid: Don’t buy “wild honey” from street vendors—it’s likely syrup. If someone tries to sell film rolls while you’re taking photos, politely decline. 🏡 Accommodation: Choose wisely for comfort - Homestays near the scenic area: Mountain views from the window, 10-minute walk to the ticket gate, air conditioning and heating are sufficient, and you can see morning mist in the mountains. - Budget hotels in the county: Affordable prices, reliable hot water, quiet for sleeping, suitable for budget travelers, and breakfast is filling. In autumn and winter, Shiniuzhai offers the grandeur of Danxia, the romance of ice and snow, and endless local delicacies. Don’t wait—pack your bags and set off. You’ll enjoy the scenery and relieve stress, definitely worth the ticket price!

【Introduction】: Fortunate to open 3 hotels in 2025, annual summary: Amid the fireworks of openings, a rendezvous with mountains and rivers The calendar pages of 2025 are filled with the tireless footsteps of a hotelier. This year, I have deeply cultivated three completely different hotel tracks, from the cultural elegance of Ji Hotel to the trendy vitality of Orange Hotel, and then to the approachable comfort of Hanting Hotel. Every opening is a battle with details, and every launch is a fulfillment of responsibility. Ji Hotel, as the "elegant faction" of quality culture, has always adhered to the original intention of "Oriental · Moderate · Cultural" during the opening process. From the Zen-inspired creation of natural wood spaces, to the thoughtful detail of 8 complimentary bottles of mineral water, from the carefully selected books in the "Guest Listening" reading area to the meticulous refinement of dry and wet separated bathrooms, inspired by Confucian virtues of "warmth, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility," we have turned every corner into a safe haven for travelers, where business and rest gently blend. The opening of Orange Hotel is a pursuit of trendiness. As the "trendy faction" full of vitality and fashion, we focus on design and youthfulness, injecting personality and clever ideas into the spatial layout, breaking the dullness of traditional accommodation with bright colors and dynamic lines. Every room becomes a highlight for check-ins, allowing young travelers to feel the warmth of fashion through convenient services, engraving the label of "design explosion" into every experience. The opening of Hanting Hotel is a practice of the original intention of a "national brand." As the "people-friendly faction" of economy and practicality, we embody the concept of "a close relative and neighbor to 1.4 billion people," implementing efficient modular assembly, comfortable ten-thousand-yuan-level mattresses, and 30-second self-check-in convenience. From strict selection of eco-friendly materials to thoughtful configuration of intelligent robots, from the detailed care of natural essential oil toiletries to the local flavor of breakfast, we let the promise of "love cleanliness, stay at Hanting" take root and bear fruit at every opening milestone. Amid the busy year, the most precious blank space was a rendezvous with Tianyue Mufu Mountain during the intervals of Hanting's opening. Leaving behind blueprints and procedures, stepping up the stone stairs, watching the "Mufu Red Cliff" shine brilliantly in the sunset, listening to the Old Dragon Gully stream softly singing in the valley, feeling the breeze at the Moon Worship Terrace brush away fatigue, and hearing the cliff inscriptions at the South Heavenly Gate tell stories of time. Here, the grandeur of the rugged mountains healed the anxiety of openings, the tranquility of the secluded forest valley settled restless emotions, as if understanding the gentleness of the stream and the resilience of the red cliffs, and also learning the balance between work and life. 2025 was a year of honing professionalism on the opening sites and nourishing the soul among mountains and rivers. At work, giving my all, infusing every passion into the fabric of the hotels; in life, following my heart, making every departure a recharging journey. In the new year, I hope to continue moving forward in the career I love and often meet new appointments in the vast mountains and rivers, never letting down either work or life. Tianyue Mufu Mountain

As an experienced traveler, you have chosen Yueyang, Hunan—a city known as the "Gateway to Northern Hunan." It lies north of the Yangtze River and embraces Dongting Lake. Yueyang is the birthplace of the "Record of Yueyang Tower" and a poetic residence where Huxiang culture blends with the charm of rivers and lakes. It boasts the profound cultural heritage of an ancient famous tower and the natural wild beauty of wetlands and lake views. Below is a customized four-day, three-night travel guide for Yueyang, designed for a deep, comfortable, and budget-friendly experience, arranged geographically from near to far (city center → Junshan Island → Zhangguying Village → Pingjiang), covering seasonal activities, cultural experiences, and tips to avoid pitfalls. Itinerary: Four days, three nights | Yueyang City → Junshan Island → Zhangguying Village → Pingjiang Day 1: Yueyang Tower + Dongting Lake Museum + Baling Square (City Core) After arrival, check into a hotel near the Yueyang Tower Scenic Area or the Pedestrian Street Business District (¥200–280/night). In the morning, climb the Yueyang Tower (ticket ¥70, advance online purchase recommended). Reciting the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" can grant free admission during certain periods. From the tower, enjoy a distant view of Dongting Lake and feel the patriotic sentiment of "worrying before the world worries." Then visit the free Dongting Lake Museum to learn about the lake’s ecology, migratory birds, and fishing and farming civilization. In the evening, stroll through Baling Square, see the "Houyi Slays the Ba Snake" sculpture, and watch the sunset along the lakeside boardwalk. 🌸 Suitable all year round: Best from March to May for spring scenery; October to November for crisp autumn weather; winter for bird watching; summer requires heat precautions. Day 2: Junshan Island · A Fairyland in Dongting Lake Take a 40-minute boat ride to Junshan Island (combined ticket for island and boat ¥80), known as the "Penglai Fairy Island." The island features deep bamboo forests and many historical sites: Tomb of the Two Concubines: Legendary site of Emperor Shun’s two concubines Liuyi Well: Origin of the Tang Dynasty legend "Liuyi Sends a Letter" Junshan Silver Needle Tea Garden: The original production area of one of China’s top ten famous teas, with tea-picking experiences in spring Every year from late March to early April, the Junshan Silver Needle Tea Culture Festival is held, featuring tea dances and new tea tasting, creating a wonderful atmosphere. ⚠️ Avoid traps: Many "fortune-telling" and "blessing" activities in the scenic area are paid scams—firmly decline; dining on the island is expensive, so bringing your own simple meal is recommended. Day 3: Zhangguying Village · The Largest Ancient Village in Jiangnan Take a 1.5-hour drive to Zhangguying Village in Yueyang County (ticket ¥65), known as the "Folk Palace Museum." With over 600 years of history and more than 1,700 connected rooms, the village is built along the mountain terrain with streams running through the houses. It features the unique "48 courtyards and 900 winding alleys." Key sights include the Main Gate, Wangjiaduan, and Shiqiao Feihong (Stone Bridge Flying Rainbow). Villagers still live here, giving the place a strong local life atmosphere. 💡 Cultural highlights: Experience making glutinous rice cakes, listen to clan genealogy stories, and feel the heritage of clan culture. Day 4: Pingjiang Shiniuzhai or Shiniuzhai Glass Bridge (Natural Wonder Finale) Take a 2-hour drive to Pingjiang County’s Shiniuzhai National Geopark (ticket ¥98, including the glass bridge). The spectacular Danxia landform features thrilling cliffside plank roads, and the main peak offers views of the Hunan-Jiangxi border. The glass bridge hangs 300 meters high—only for the brave. If physical strength is limited, you can visit the Pingjiang Uprising Memorial Hall (free) to learn about revolutionary history. ❗ Reminder: The mountain paths at Shiniuzhai are steep; wear non-slip shoes. The site is crowded on holidays, so arrive early. Authentic Food Recommendations (per person ¥25–50) Yueyang Barbecue (the king of late-night snacks! Rich, spicy, and oily, paired with perilla, peach, and ginger) Steamed Dongting Silver Fish Egg Custard, Mixed Steamed Cured Meat, Stir-fried Garlic Sprouts with Pork Junshan Silver Needle Tea (picked before Qingming Festival, fragrant and sweet) Pingjiang Sauce-dried Tofu, Fire-roasted Fish, Handmade Noodles Recommended spots: Bianhe Street Snack Street, Dongmaoling Night Market, Zhangguying Village Farmhouse Meals Transportation and Cost Tips City buses are convenient (fare ¥1–2); for inter-county travel, take long-distance buses (e.g., Yueyang Bus Station → Pingjiang/Zhangguying, about ¥25–40); Carpooling costs ¥30–50 per person, offering good value; Affordable lodging: city chain hotels from ¥200, Zhangguying/Pingjiang homestays ¥150–220 (mostly including breakfast) Key Pitfall Warnings Be cautious buying specialties on Bianhe Street: so-called "old brand sauce-dried tofu" is often industrially packaged; locals prefer small workshop bulk products; Do not trust "free guides": many lead to shopping with commissions; Avoid forced ancient costume photos at Yueyang Tower: ask prices clearly before participating to avoid hidden costs; Respect village life: Zhangguying Village is not a pure tourist site—do not trespass private homes or disturb residents. The beauty of Yueyang lies in its coexistence of river-and-lake spirit and scholarly charm—a city and a tower that write the joys and sorrows of a thousand years, a lake and an island that hold the scenery of all seasons. Spend four days and three nights slowly exploring this underrated ancient city, and you will understand: true poetry is not far away, but in the smoke rising from a steaming bowl of barbecue and the echoes of waves on Dongting Lake.

A self-drive from Changsha, less than 2 hours away, leads to Tianyue Mufu Mountain in Pingjiang County, where the most unexpected surprise of this autumn was found—the thousand-year-old ginkgo leaves form a golden carpet, the sea of clouds rolls over the mountaintop, and every step feels like walking into a movie scene. 📍Basic Information 🎫Tickets: Adult ticket 85 RMB, cable car 146 RMB (not sure if the promotion has ended; during the event, 29.9 RMB includes both cable car and ticket) 🕒Opening Hours: All year round 08:30-17:00 📍Address: Tianyue Mufu Mountain, Nanjiang Town, Pingjiang County, Yueyang City, Hunan Province ✨Must-visit Highlights 🌳Thousand-year-old Ginkgo Group: The "Three Lives with Apricots" at Tianletang is now at its best viewing period, with golden leaves covering the ground under three thousand-year-old ginkgo trees. Wearing light-colored clothes for photos is simply stunning. ☁️Sea of Clouds Wonderland: This season often brings a sea of clouds. Standing on the cliff walkway, the clouds churn beneath your feet, as if walking on clouds. The walkway is built along a sheer cliff, offering magnificent views. 🌊Magical Boiling Sand Pool: A natural wonder at 1500 meters altitude, where spring water gushes from the bottom of a well, sand boils as if boiling water, and the water temperature stays at 4.5℃ year-round. It is praised as a "world wonder and a unique Chinese marvel." 🚶Easy One-day Tour Route 🚡Cable car up the mountain → shuttle bus to Boiling Sand Pool → walk to Tianletang (ginkgo) → shuttle bus to Yifengjian Peak → Sky Mirror → cliff walkway → cable car down the mountain This route is not tiring at all, about 5-6 hours in total, allowing you to visit the key scenic spots without rushing. 💡Practical Tips 🚗Transportation: From Changsha, navigate to "Tianyue Mufu Mountain Tourist Center."

Escape the city heatwave! Immerse your kids in the cool world of Mufu Mountain waterfalls and primeval forest. Tianyue Mufu Mountain is not only the highest peak in northeastern Hunan but also one of the Taoist sacred mountains with profound cultural heritage. The peaks are lush and verdant, with extremely rich vegetation, especially cool in summer, making it an excellent summer hiking destination. Bringing children here is not just about climbing mountains but a vivid natural exploration journey—watch cascading waterfalls, observe the sea of clouds spectacle (if you're lucky), and feel the grandeur and wonder of nature. 🚩Exact location: Tianyue Mufu Mountain Forest Park, Nanjiang Town, Pingjiang County, Yueyang City, Hunan Province ⛰️Destination: Tianyue Mufu Mountain 📆Date recorded: June 24, 2025 ☁️Weather conditions: Cloudy with occasional sunshine, turning to light rain in the afternoon (mountain weather is changeable, offering a rich experience) 🚶🏻Trip length: 17 kilometers (can choose partial sections depending on the child’s condition) ⏰Actual duration: About 8-9 hours (including ample rest, meals, and photo time) 📍Recommended hiking start and end point: Shang Dengjia (please be sure to use professional outdoor navigation software to confirm detailed routes) 👼🏻Unique experience rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (rich natural scenery, educational and fun) 👩‍🦯Overall recommendation rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ [Route Highlights and Parent-Child Experience] This hiking route offers diverse types of trails, allowing children to experience different walking pleasures. The core highlight is connecting four major waterfalls: Longtan Waterfall, Rain Waterfall, Wind Waterfall, and Mist Waterfall. During the rainy season, they are full of power, with roaring water sounds and splashing water that leave a deep impression on children. Some downhill trails are wild and adventurous, with tall grass that requires careful passage, but that’s part of the exploration fun. Emphasizing again the importance of anti-slip shoes and trekking poles! Mosquito repellent must be thoroughly applied. Starting early from Changsha, a two-hour drive brings you into the embrace of the mountains and wilderness. The entire route is shaded by green trees and accompanied by babbling streams, truly a natural classroom tailored for children, where every scene tells the story of the Earth. [Waterfall Check-in and Safety Reminders] The popular photo spot is at Wind Waterfall, with a grand backdrop. However, the area below the waterfall is slippery and the water flow is strong, so parents must supervise throughout, prioritizing safety before considering photos. After playing in the water, children can get soaked easily; a spare set of dry clothes and shoes is key to preventing colds—do not overlook this. 🧗🏼‍♂️Comprehensive Parent-Child Travel Guide Clothing preparation: For rainy season outings, bring an extra set of clothes and towels so children can enjoy the streams worry-free. Facilities: Restrooms and clear signposts along the way reduce the inconvenience of traveling with children. Packing list: Child-specific mosquito repellent, sunscreen, trekking poles (to assist on slopes), power bank, portable food and water, basic first aid kit. Safety and environmental protection: Travel as a group, always watch the children. Practice Leave No Trace by carrying out all your trash. Weather contingency: Mountain weather changes rapidly; we encountered fog and light rain at the summit. Preparing rain gear in advance allows you to handle it calmly. Due to weather, we couldn’t clearly enjoy the beauty of the glass observation deck at the summit this time, which was a small twist in the trip but also a testament to the mountain’s diverse scenery.

Challenge the highest peak in northeastern Hunan with kids! Here’s a super detailed family hiking guide for Mufu Mountain~ Mufu Mountain is located in Pingjiang County, Yueyang, about a 2-hour drive from Changsha, very convenient! It’s a high mountain at the junction of Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi provinces, with the main peak at 1596 meters, making it the highest point in northeastern Hunan. The mountain is full of oddly shaped rocks, rushing waterfalls, and clear springs. The air is especially fresh, like a natural oxygen bar, perfect for bringing kids to get close to nature! 🚩Exact location: Tianyue Mufu Mountain Forest Park (Nanjing Town, Pingjiang County, Yueyang) ⛰️Attraction name: Tianyue Mufu Mountain 📆Date of visit: June 24, 2025 ☁️Weather that day: Cloudy turning to light rain (mountain weather changes fast) 🚶🏻Our hiking distance: 17 km (can adjust the route according to kids’ stamina) ⏰Total time spent: About 8-9 hours (including breaks, eating on the trail, and taking photos) 📍Navigation start point: Shang Dengjia (recommended to use the professional outdoor app “Two Steps” to confirm the exact route) 👼🏻Family-friendly rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (the route is quite long, assess your child’s stamina) 👩‍🦯Recommendation rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 【How to hike with kids?】 The route we took includes well-built steps in the scenic area, cement paths, and interesting forest dirt trails, making it not too monotonous. The most attractive part for kids is the four waterfalls of different sizes! We saw Longtan Waterfall, Rain Waterfall, Wind Waterfall, and Mist Waterfall in order. It’s the rainy season now, so the waterfalls have a lot of water, rushing down spectacularly! The kids were very excited. But a reminder: the descent has a section with tall grass where you need to watch your step, and the trail can be slippery after rain. Make sure everyone wears shoes with good anti-slip performance! Hiking poles are recommended to save energy and increase safety. The mountain vegetation is lush, and there are many mosquitoes, so mosquito repellent is a must-have! We left Changsha at 8 a.m. and arrived at the starting point around 10 a.m. to begin hiking. Along the way, accompanied by the sound of streams and surrounded by greenery, kids can learn about various plants and have their nature fantasies fulfilled here. 【Water play safety at the waterfalls is the top priority】 Want to take great photos? The cover photo was taken at Wind Waterfall! There’s a lot of mist below the waterfall, the rocks are very slippery, and the water flow is strong, so hold your child’s hand tightly and be very careful. The splashing water can easily soak clothes, so be sure to prepare a full set of clean clothes and shoes for everyone (including adults) in the car to change into after playing in the water to avoid catching a cold. 🧗🏼‍♂️Family hiking thoughtful packing list Water play gear: Since it’s the rainy season with heavy water flow, water play is super fun! Remember to bring an extra set of dry clothes and towels so kids can play freely. Facilities: The scenic area has plenty of toilets and signposts, very family-friendly. Essentials: Child-specific mosquito repellent, sun-protective clothing, hiking poles (also suitable for kids), power bank, basic medicines (band-aids, disinfectant wipes, etc.), healthy snacks for energy. Environment & safety: Travel in groups and keep an eye on the kids. Take all your trash with you to protect the beautiful environment. Weather preparedness: Mountain weather changes quickly. We encountered rain and fog on the summit this time. Always bring rain gear just in case. Because of the fog and rain on the summit, we didn’t get clear photos of the famous glass viewing platform, a bit of a pity but also a reason to come back next time!
