Chenzhou is truly the best niche tourist destination, with few people and beautiful scenery!!! It's worth the long journey ~ Gaoyi Ridge is really magnificent, and it was my first time seeing the Danxia landform! It was very impressive! Standing on the mountain, I felt relaxed and happy. It happened to be a cool day after the rain, so climbing wasn't tiring at all. It's also very convenient to take a taxi at the entrance of the scenic area~ Highlights: Danxia landform, surrounded by turquoise water, stunning aerial photography, and a hiker's paradise. Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. Navigate to "Gaoyiling Village Committee," park, and walk up the mountain. This route is very suitable for those who prefer a less strenuous hike. Tickets: 80 yuan/person, half price for students. Tips: It is recommended to depart in the morning to avoid the midday heat. Wear comfortable non-slip shoes and bring enough water and snacks. Be sure to protect yourself from the sun, as there is no shade on the mountain. Wear a hat and sunglasses. The aerial photography effect on the mountain is stunning, so you can bring a drone.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Phoenix Ancient Town I came here almost ten years ago, and a lot has changed in the past few years. I can't recognize the road back then. Like Lijiang, it has become more commercialized. Fortunately, not every store sells the same souvenirs. Turning into the alley also has a quieter side. Sometimes I have to admire the greatness of high-speed rail. Ten years ago, I had to take a 23-hour train ride from Shenzhen to get here! Now the high-speed railway station is built just 15 minutes away from the ancient city. It’s very convenient to get there from Hong Kong! The weather in March is warm but not too hot, and it is very comfortable to walk around the ancient city. Don’t miss the night view of the ancient city. Even from the same angle, the views are completely different during the day and at night. #High-speed rail travel #Hunan #Mainland China attractions #China travel #Free travel

#张家界 Besides mountains, there is also water! Because today is only half a day, Not enough time to go up the mountain, just play the route down the mountain, Focus on the water, not the mountains. When I came here ten years ago, the construction was not so complete. Originally there was no restaurant in the scenic area, only farmers could provide lunch. Now there are several restaurants at each eco-friendly car docking point. Although it ruins some of the scenery, at least tourists don’t have to bring any food up the mountain. You can play more easily. #Ten Miles Gallery: After getting off the eco-friendly car, you only need to walk 2km on the trail. At the end, there is a small train that takes people back to the starting point. Then take the eco-friendly bus to Golden Whip Stream. #Golden Whip Creek The total length is 7.5 kilometers, and the entire trail is flat. It took us nearly 4 hours to walk from downstream to upstream. There are shade trees along the way, which is quite cool. But it still takes a bit of willpower to complete the journey. I wanted to give up halfway, but the distance of going back was almost the same as going forward. I can only walk the whole way dizzy🫠 #Hunan #Mainland China Attractions #China Free Travel #China Travel #High-Speed ​​Rail Tour

#FurongTown Using Trip.com's #高铁票 booking function makes it very convenient every time I go back to the mainland to travel! Take the high-speed rail from Shenzhen North and reach Furong Town in about six hours! It is much more convenient than departing from Hong Kong. Furong Town is known as the #Thousand-year-old Town Hanging on the Waterfall. It is a place I have always wanted to go, but the transportation was not very convenient before the high-speed rail went directly there. Strolling along the #bluestone road, the ancient #stilted buildings are built on the mountain. The waterfall cascades down through the town with great momentum. You must try local specialties such as #ricetofu and #sourandspicyfish! There are trails along the spectacular waterfalls, where you can enjoy the waterfalls from different angles. The ancient town perfectly combines nature and humanity. It reminds me of the filming location of the movie "Furong Town", it is really a place full of historical stories. #ChinaMainlandAttractions #ChinaTravel #ChinaFreeTravel #Xiangxi #Changsha #Hunan #High-speed rail travel

#chinatravelitinerary Nothing can be more exciting than exploring the untamed nature of Hunan Province forests! These are an extraordinary places fully demonstrating charm and gorgeous nature of wet humid forests. Hunan has many famous forest tourist attractions. These attractions not only show a rich natural landscape, but also contain a deep historical and cultural background. Xuefengshan National Forest Park is a popular tourist destination in Hunan. The sun is shining here, and visitors can enjoy the bathing of nature in the natural oxygen bar, ascend to pray for blessings, and welcome the arrival of the New Year. Xuefengshan National Forest Park has attracted a large number of tourists with its unique natural scenery and rich cultural heritage.The Park Management Office has also launched activities such as “Step by step climbing” blessing, ice and Snow Covenant, dragon Dance Snow Peak, etc. to ensure that visitors can play safely and comfortably. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is one of the most famous natural landscapes in Hunan and is known as a miracle of nature.It is known for its thousands of sandstone peaks and forests of different forms and is a world natural heritage site.Walking in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, every mountain peak seems to tell an ancient story, which makes people intoxicated.The main attractions include Huangshizhai, Jinjiaoxi, Yuanjiajie and Tianzi Mountain.Huangshizhai can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire forest park, Golden Whip Creek is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts, Yuanjiajie is the prototype of the “floating mountain” in the movie "Avatar", and Tianzi Mountain is a great place to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds.

#getgoing2025 This is what people often have in mind of visiting an old Chinese town. Architecture of the buildings are stunning, really amazing. The village though increasingly becomes popular and gets commercialized. Still it has a nice vibe and atmosphere. At night it’s particularly beautiful. You won’t need more than one day. It’s best to stay overnight to experience the village at night. By taxi it takes one hour to Tongren Fenghuang Airport, busses available as well but not that frequent. Additionally Fenghuang has express bus connection to Zhangjiajie & Wulingyuan (village of Zhangjiajie National Park) which takes about 4 hours.

#getgoing2025 The town, also advertised as Furong Town, is a very distinctive tourist attraction in the mountainous area of northwestern Hunan. Built on the steep banks of the River You with buildings entirely made of wood and decorated with beautiful ornamental friezes. The network of narrow streets, alleys and small squares perfectly reproduces the lines of the medieval city with shops where all the most typical and ancient products of millenary Chinese history are sold and produced. The panoramic parts are beautiful, located on the cliffs above a waterfall that falls into the You river and crossed by bridges entirely made of wood and stone streets that plunge into the waters of the river. It is recommended to have lunch or rather dinner in the evening with the city entirely illuminated by lanterns in one of the many typical restaurants. To be seen.

#getgoing2025 Absolute highlight of our trip to China. Although it's all part of the same park, the different regions of the park look different from each other in terms of the landscaping. As others have noted - the signage isn't great. The most helpful thing to keep in mind is there are two "levels" to the park. The ground floor trails, and the top floor trails. And then technically there are trails that connect the ground and top floor. I definitely recommend taking the lifts, it's not worth your precious time and energy to hike up. The main highlights are pretty easy walking, the reason you'll sweat will be because of the heat, not because of the trail difficulty. Food is a little rough - there are several McDonalds on top of the mountains! There are lots of vendors along the trails selling bottled water, snacks, etc. They won't bother you at all, and we bought from them several times. A good amount of restrooms on the trail. I liked the Yuanjiajie Scenic area, Golden Whip Stream, and Yellow Village Scenic Area. I would stay away from Tianzi Scenic area and Yangjiajie scenic area. The trails were more difficult in those sections, and the scenery wasn't as good. You'll have a great time!!

We recommend this underrated city in Hunan—Shaoyang. This is a city with a long history. Here you can see the city gates left by Baoqing Prefecture, and the city gate leads to a bustling farmers' market, full of life. You can see the exquisite craftsmanship of Shuifu Temple, with lifelike carvings of divine creatures... 🏛Recommended cultural attractions: 🔹Baoqing Prefecture Ancient City Wall This is one of the best-preserved ancient city walls in Hunan Province.

The museum houses a large number of cultural relics and historical materials, vividly showcasing the development of Shaoyang through various forms such as objects, pictures, and multimedia. 🔹Cai E's Former Residence Visit Cai E's former residence to learn about the legendary life of this "National Protector General." The residence displays many precious cultural relics and historical photos, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of General Cai E's growth and revolutionary deeds. 🔹Shuifu Temple (Provincial Protection) Shuifu Temple is accessible by bus or taxi. Although the temple complex is not large, the temple's exterior is exquisite. It was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty to worship the King of Zhenjiang. The current building dates back to the Qing Dynasty. The main hall was demolished in 1958 due to road expansion, and only the theater building remains. 🔹Yu Qing Palace On the top of Shehu Mountain in Shaoyang stands the magnificent Taoist temple—Shaoyang Yu Qing Palace. It is not only a religious sanctuary but also carries a rich historical and cultural heritage, making it highly attractive. Peacocks and elk are also kept here. 🍜Recommended food: 🔹Shaoyang Rice Noodles The rice noodles have a coarse texture and are very firm, a unique local specialty. Paired with local mountain pepper oil, the flavor is quite strong. 🥣Local restaurant recommendation: Hui Min Restaurant 🔹Barbecue The local nightlife culture is very lively, with many restaurants open until midnight, so barbecue is a must.

Stepping into the Liu Family Courtyard is like traveling through a thousand-year-old time tunnel and entering an ancient and elegant ink painting. The Chinese courtyard, a building form that carries a thousand years of cultural heritage, shows its unique charm here. The eaves, as the eyebrows of the courtyard, exude a sense of simplicity and solemnity after years of precipitation under the warm yellow light. The flying eaves, like wild geese about to take off, solidify the passage of time and seem to whisper stories of the past. Every inch of texture and every carving is a historical touch, recording the changes of dynasties and the rise and fall of families, making people think of the life of the courtyard owner in those years. Is it the deep affection of "how deep is the courtyard" or the open-mindedness of "smiling at the light wind and clouds"? And this courtyard is by no means just a trace left by time and a witness to history. It has long been deeply integrated into the soul of the Chinese people and has become an inseparable feeling. Here, you can find the leisure and freedom of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing the southern mountains leisurely" and feel the poetic elegance of "the sparse shadows are slanted and the water is clear, and the dark fragrance floats in the moonlight." It is our yearning for a peaceful and far-reaching life and our respect and attachment to traditional culture. Walking in the Liu Family Courtyard, the bluestone road under your feet echoes the sound of history, and the grass, trees, bricks, and tiles around you exude the unique charm of a Chinese courtyard. It is like an old man, silently telling the inheritance of a thousand years, allowing every visitor to immerse themselves in it and understand the tranquility and beauty of the spiritual home that belongs to the Chinese courtyard and the Chinese people, finding a piece of pure land for the soul in the noisy world.

Chaoshan beef hotpot, a variety of delicious food all in one place!|||I often eat out, and the most important thing for me is the ingredients. I've been to Jiuji Chaoshan Beef Hotpot many times, and it's always my first choice for all-you-can-eat hotpot. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ recommended 👉The most important thing is that the ingredients are fresh and visible. Clear soup with dipping sauce, a few plates at a time, enjoy the feeling of eating beef in big mouthfuls. Fatty beef, tenderloin, marbled beef, hand-made beef balls, etc. are all available. Special reminder, recently there are new swimming crabs 🦀, abalone, and South China Sea prince clams. It's really great.

It was a trip to Hunan, China with family. We began our journey in Changsha, the vibrant capital of Hunan. A visit to Yuelu Academy, one of China’s oldest academic institutions, was a must for its serene architecture and scholarly atmosphere. The golden hour ☀️ in the courtyard was perfect for photos, with sunlight filtering through ancient trees 🌳 Later, we explored Orange Island (Juzizhou), capturing the massive Chairman Mao Statue with the Xiang River as a backdrop 😍 Yuelu Academy 📍273 Lushan Rd, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan Orange Island 📍Juzizhou Park, Furong District, Changsha, Hunan We also explored the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 🌳 famous for its towering sandstone pillars that inspired the floating mountains ⛰️ in Avatar. For the best photos 📸 we recommend visiting Tianzi Mountain ⛰️ during sunrise for stunning views above the clouds ☁️ The Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, suspended over a deep canyon, gave us heart-racing shots with the breathtaking scenery beneath our feet 👣 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 📍Wulingyuan Scenic Area, Zhangjiajie, Hunan Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge 📍Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Cili County, Zhangjiajie, Hunan We also explored Fenghuang Ancient Town (Phoenix Village), a picturesque riverside village with well-preserved Qing dynasty architecture. The vibrant night scene, with glowing red lanterns reflecting off the Tuojiang River, made for magical photos 📸 During the day, we wandered through the cobblestone streets and captured the iconic stilted houses along the riverbank. The best time for photos is early morning ⛅️ when the soft light bathes the town in a golden glow. Fenghuang Ancient Town 📍Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan Lastly, we also explored to Tianmen Mountain ⛰️ where we rode the world’s longest cable car 🚠 to the summit. The Tianmen Cave (Heaven’s Gate), a natural arch high in the mountain ⛰️ was a sight to behold. We recommend visiting in the morning ☀️ for fewer crowds and clearer views. The 99-Bend Road, zigzagging up the mountain, also provided thrilling photo opportunities from the cable car 🚠 Tianmen Mountain 📍Tianmen Mountain National Park, Yongding District, Zhangjiajie, Hunan We loved every moment of our Hunan adventure, and we highly recommend it for anyone seeking breathtaking scenery and rich cultural experiences! #chinatrip #Vacation #travel
