Changsha Surrounding Tours | Zhuzhou Shenlong Valley Forest Park
| Zhuzhou Shenlong Valley Forest Park. Shenlong Valley National Forest Park is nestled in the heart of the Luoxiao Mountains, at the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, quietly spreading in the northwest secret area of the northern foot of Wanyang Mountain. Here, the forest is lush, the climate is pleasant, and the air is as pure as it can be. It is divided into five beautiful scenic areas: Exploring Jia Shui, Dreaming in Tianxinli, Enjoying the View in Dongkeng, Strolling by Peach Blossom Creek, and Peacefully Enjoying Nature in Pingkeng. Particularly worth mentioning is the Shennong Waterfall at the peak of Hunan, with a majestic drop of 235 meters, which is a breathtaking natural wonder not to be missed.
The Zhuli Waterfall is another generous gift from nature. It is not only a visual feast but also a representative of a natural oxygen bar, with a negative ion concentration in the air reaching up to 130,000 per cubic centimeter, making every breath feel like a cleanse for the heart and lungs.
In terms of accommodation, Shenlong Valley invites you to experience the most locally characteristic homestay - Creekside Homestay at Xishui Mountain Villa, allowing you to fall asleep peacefully to the sound of babbling brooks and feel unprecedented tranquility and harmony.
Driving there is convenient and smooth, with the Jingzhu Expressway and Quannan Expressway interwoven into a network. You can easily exit at the Yanling Shenlong Valley toll station, then proceed along the road, passing through the ancient charm of Miandu Town, until you reach Shidu Town, where the Creekside Homestay at Xishui Mountain Villa quietly awaits your arrival, ready to start a spontaneous green journey.

Zhuzhou Yan Emperor Mausoleum + Shennong Valley Two-Day Tour
At the southernmost tip of Zhuzhou, about 300 kilometers away from Changsha, Shennong Valley and Yan Emperor Mausoleum are definitely cool retreats. I went there during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was a place with few people and beautiful scenery. The Yan Emperor Mausoleum is indeed blessed by Shennong, a sacred place for praying, and the weather was incredibly nice!
Switching to Shennong Valley, the weather suddenly turned into a fine drizzle in the valley, giving a wonderful feeling of being in a primeval forest. The beaded curtain waterfall was definitely the most surprising, with rapid water flow and splashing water droplets, making one feel amazing being enveloped in the mist.
It's truly a must-visit destination for off-the-beaten-path travel.

When you step into that metasequoia forest, it's like entering a fairyland isolated from the world. The towering metasequoia trees stand straight, their branches and leaves like huge umbrellas, shielding you from the heat of the sun.
The sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light, reflecting on the ground, like a galaxy of stars. You can stroll along the forest path, feeling the fresh air, listening to the birds' songs and laughter.

When I met with Zhuzhou and the Reef Forest, I found myself completely open
The vegetation along the way is dense, and the abundant negative oxygen ions give people a sense of tranquility that is isolated from the world. At the end of the bamboo forest, there is a large area of fir trees. The wind passes through the trees, as if whispering to each tree. The small river flows past the tall fir trees, and the trees are reflected in the water, extending a picture like the Wizard of Oz. Under the fir tree, sitting by the river, listening to the stream and bird song, feeling the breath of nature, in nature, in the book, looking for the self I long for.

Shennong Valley National Forest Park
Shennong Valley National Forest Park is worth praising and highly recommended! How can you spend the summer in Hunan without finding a cool place to escape the heat? The AAAA-level scenic spot, Shennong Valley National Forest Park in Yanling, is really, really super cool!
The water comes from the mountains, rushing and carrying the fierce spirit of the mountains, washing over small and large pebbles, with a momentum of rushing away and never returning. Listening to the sound of the stream, one can feel a sense of exhilaration and satisfaction.
