Things to do in Huayuan

Chadong, a picturesque ancient town at the junction of Hunan, Guizhou, and Chongqing provinces, gained worldwide fame thanks to Shen Congwen's novel "Border Town." Nestled against mountains and beside a river, with the Qingshui River flowing through it, the town boasts charming cobblestone streets, rustic stilted houses, and a white pagoda, preserving the authentic Xiangxi (western Hunan) style. Here, one can "step into three provinces," with places like Lala Ferry and Cuicui Island whispering tales of tranquility and deep affection, making it an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle and seek out the beauty of literature and nature.

The height reaches 216 meters. If you have no idea, I tell you that this is the highest waterfall in China. You must go there during the flood season. If it is important, just say it once. The momentum is definitely different when you see it. Some people describe it as nine dragons turning over the waves, swallowing clouds and spewing mist, and the sound is like thunder, which is absolutely accurate.

The scenic spot is very humane. The free sightseeing bus takes tourists to the entrance of the scenic spot, and then walks all the way down along the mountainside plank road to the visitor center (exit), taking photos and checking in for two hours. Walking through the canyon, the scenery is acceptable, and there are few people in the niche attractions.

The Grand Canyon is absolutely beautiful. Although we went during the dry season and missed the rain, we could still catch crabs in the streams. There are electric carts available for rides. For dining, there's a row of stilted houses not far from the exit.

The Xiangxi Hanging Wall Road is located in Paibi Township, Huayuan County, Xiangxi, Hunan Province. Hanging Wall Road is a dangerous road carved out on a cliff (cliff and high mountain). Hanging Wall Road is mostly carved close to the wall, with a side window opened more than ten meters apart. If you are not a good driver, it is recommended not to drive in, because the cave is very narrow, just enough to accommodate the width of one car, and you need to be especially careful when turning to avoid the car hanging on the stone wall. If you don't drive in, you can park the car at the door and walk in directly. For friends who drive in, there is a parking lot inside, which can accommodate more than 10 cars at the same time. The so-called parking lot is nothing more than a relatively large karst cave, where all the cars are parked. You can go and experience it!

The entire layout of Cuicui Island strives to highlight nature, achieve harmony between mountains, waters, trees and flowers, and match the natural environment. The greening of the island is dominated by local precious evergreen trees, with famous trees that bloom all year round, creating a paradise on earth with spring all year round.

At first, the area from the entrance to the fork in the road seemed average. But once you reached the Jade Belt Waterfall, you'd understand why it's a 5A-level scenic spot; it's a pity I didn't climb to the top. The valley to the left is quiet, but the black stone slabs are slippery after rain. The valley to the right has a wide stream where you can catch crabs.

Dehang, meaning "beautiful canyon" in the Miao language, is nestled amidst mountains. Stilted houses stand along the stream, and winding cobblestone paths meander through the village. Its tranquil atmosphere, free from commercialization, preserves the original charm of a Miao village. At the village gate, guests are welcomed with a welcoming drink. The Miao drum dance at the Drum King Square is magnificent, its silver ornaments jingling, and the songs echoing through the valley. A leisurely stroll through the canyon allows you to enjoy the babbling brook and distant views of the Aizhai Bridge and the Liusha Waterfall. Away from the hustle and bustle, you can experience Miao embroidery and folk performances up close, where nature and culture blend seamlessly. Compared to bustling ancient towns, it offers a more secluded and tranquil atmosphere, perfect for calmly immersing yourself in the unique ethnic customs of western Hunan.
