1 reviews
Huxingshan-Huayao Scenic Area is located in the northwest of Longhui County, covering two townships, Huxingshan and Xiaoshajiang. The Attraction covers an area of ​​102.5 square kilometers, of which the core area is 42 square kilometers. Huxingshan-Huayao Scenic Area is rich in natural resources, large in scale, and has a long history of cultural resources. It consists of several major Attraction such as Wanguanchong Terraces, Datai Stone Waterfall, Chongmu Xiong Ancient Forest, Wangxi Waterfall Group, and Huayao Ancient Village. Wangxi Waterfall is the main characteristic landscape of Xuefeng Mountain Dahuayao Attraction. The Attraction is characterized by Huayao villages, gullies and strange rocks, high gorge waterfalls, deep pools and valleys, green trees and bamboos. Starting from Huijiawan, it passes through Meishanshen, Tianlushui, Yanyingling, Tongtian Jianmu, Dahuao and other scenic spots. At this point, a glass slide takes tourists to fly over the bamboo forest and directly to Wangxi Grand Canyon. In the 1.5-kilometer canyon, there are ten major attractions, five waterfalls, one scene at a time, and a thousand postures. The canyon is comparable to Jinbianxi and the waterfall is comparable to Huangguoshu. The 10-mile Grand Canyon of Huxing Mountain, the 2,000-meter-wide stone waterfall of Datuo, the waterfall group of Wangxi Grand Canyon, the 10,000-acre terraced fields of Wanguanchong and hundreds of other natural landscapes are unforgettable. Dozens of cultural landscapes such as Wei Yuan's former residence, the "No. 1 Huayao Village in China" Chongmuxiong Huayao Ancient Village, and the Ancient Yao People's Street are rich in historical and cultural connotations. Large areas of primitive secondary forests and a variety of thousand-year-old trees constitute a good natural ecological environment. The unique folk culture and ethnic customs of Huayao, the Huayao costumes, architecture, handicrafts, folk songs and food of different styles are unique. Huxing Mountain-Huayao has been selected as one of the "New Eight Scenic Spots of Xiaoxiang". Datuo Stone Waterfall From top to bottom, the middle of Datuo Stone Waterfall is gray and white, as if it were cut by a knife and an axe, and it is all stone walls. The slope is about 45 degrees, more than 300 meters high and about 2,000 meters wide. It is magnificent and looks like a waterfall from a distance. The Datuoshi Waterfall is developed in the contact zone between the rock mass and the surrounding rock. The slope of the stone wall is controlled by the occurrence of the contact energy surface. The rock mass here is relatively hard and complete, and the rocks are broken. After long-term weathering and erosion, the rock mass is convex, while the surrounding rock is cut down, resulting in a large stone wall slope with obvious height difference. The Datuoshi Waterfall is a spectacular stone waterfall landscape in China, and it is also a large and particularly long stone waterfall. It has important scientific research value and ornamental value. Wanguanchong Terraces The Wanguanchong Terraces cover more than 700 hectares, with high terrain, large scale, and unique landscape, especially the natural irrigation system without reservoirs and mountain ponds. It can be called a miracle of the ingenious combination of heaven, earth, and man, and is the crystallization of more than 2,000 years of hard work by the Yao and Han people. Climbing to the top of the mountain and looking in any direction, you can see terraces with smooth lines, undulating terrain and gurgling water, which fully demonstrate the natural beauty, ancient beauty, physical beauty and cultural beauty of the terraces, and constitute an outstanding example of the relationship between humans and the natural environment.Longhui · 56.7 km from downtown

I had heard about Langshan from a friend before, and this was my first time visiting. It exceeded my expectations! The scenery is beautiful, majestic, majestic, precipitous, and picturesque—no exaggeration. After this, I don't need to rely on the fame of Zhangjiajie or Guilin's landscapes anymore. Highly recommended!

In the sweltering summer, a family trip, especially with children, to Nanshan is a great choice for escaping the heat, relaxing, and having fun. Staying within the Nanshan scenic area means you won't need air conditioning while sleeping; the temperature is generally between 18-23 degrees Celsius. During the day, you can take your children horseback riding, see windmills, and even experience feeding cows and milking cows. In the evening, you can watch dragon dances, enjoy bonfires, and even bottle-feed lambs. The activities are plentiful and quite enjoyable.

The natural scenery is very beautiful, and a self-driving tour is highly recommended! Due to the high altitude and limited availability of fruits and vegetables, a two-day, one-night trip is recommended.

Xinshao Baishuidong Scenic Area is like a secret place in central Hunan, and its 4A-level scenery is well-deserved. The stalactites in Bailongdong are in various shapes, the Feihong Waterfall is magnificent, and the scenery of Luoshan Lake is as beautiful as a painting. Here, you can not only experience the magic of karst landforms, but also taste the special food of Shaoyang, which makes people linger.

It is very cool here in summer. The natural breeze in the shade is like air conditioning. The wooden houses in the village are very unique and are especially suitable for taking photos. The rice fields are also very beautiful. There are big trees in the ancient forest that three people can't surround.

天一巷景区是国家级重点风景名胜区—崀山大景区的核心景区,200多米长的狭窄长谷,只容一人过去,抬头是一线天,低头是高耸的小巷子。而且整个景区有多个各种各样的巷子,风景独特唯美,游览设施也很好,值得去游玩。

The scenic area is free, and the mountains and forests outside the residential area are the most beautiful places for natural scenery. There are some elderly people living alone and left-behind children in the village. The villagers are very simple. A simple chat may be exchanged for a lunch, but the local fireworks are the most lively only during the busy farming season. If you want to go, I suggest you go in the second half of the year, because I heard that the local ethnic minorities have a very grand festival in the second half of the year, which seems to be called "Jiu Ba Festival", which is as grand as the Chinese New Year.
