The mist lingers over Xiao Dongjiang, where fishermen are merely mortal guests

Chenzhou·Dongjiang Lake (Nanny Strategy) The mist lingers over Xiao Dongjiang, where fishermen are merely mortal guests, but at this moment they are like immortals in a painting. Xiao Dongjiang is part of the Dongjiang Lake scenic area in Zixing, Chenzhou, Hunan. Located downstream of Dongjiang Lake, from the entrance of the Dongjiang Lake scenic area to the Dongjiang Dam, it spans about 12km. The water temperature of Xiao Dongjiang remains constant at 8-10 degrees Celsius year-round. From April to October each year, due to the temperature difference, layers of mist form on the river surface, creating a beautiful and serene landscape, like a fairyland, hence the name 'Misty Xiao Dongjiang'! Viewing time: April to October every year Viewing period: 6:30~8:00 in the morning and 18:00~19:00 in the evening Tour routes and ticket prices: see the chart It is recommended to purchase Route 2 and book tickets online in advance. Those with a 'Three Provinces Pass' can make a free reservation on the same day! P Parking There is a parking lot in the scenic area, 10 yuan/day Many people will tell you by the roadside while you are queuing to enter the parking lot that they charge 30 yuan/day, no need to queue. Casting net points Near the No. 2-4 viewing platforms, there are places for casting nets, and there will also be performances of mountain songs and water ballet. Performance times: 7:00-9:00, 16:00-18:00, casting nets three times every 15 minutes. For those who, like me, have difficulty getting up early, you can choose to enter the park after lunch, first take the bus to the terminal station, take a boat to Dou Shuai Island, visit the Dou Shuai Lingyan Cave, where the stalactites are massive and quite spectacular, the first view upon entering the cave is very nice; after taking the boat back, visit the Longjing Canyon, listen to the guide talk about the most scenic waterfall, which is on the left shortcut, decisively giving up the right five-kilometer mountain trail; after the tour, take the bus back to No. 3 viewing platform, get off and walk 100 meters to the net casting spot, there are also bamboo rafts performing mountain songs, slowly stroll along the river, after 17:30 the mist will rise slowly, continue to tour to the No. 2 viewing platform, take the bus back, the sightseeing bus operates until 18:30!! The grilled fish tastes really good, buy it at the cheapest price at the Dou Shuai Island return boat dock. !! It is not recommended to buy the dried fish on the cruise boat.
