based on 168 reviews"One of the four famous buildings in ancient China, it is worth seeing. Luohe Street is actually a commercial street. It is more beautiful at night. You can buy something to eat when you are hungry, but the homogenization is serious. It is the main building of Yueyang Building in an ordinary snack street. You must go. The scenic spot can go to Yueyang Building and overlook Dongting Lake. You can also see Yueyang Building Ji, the scenic spot is not very big, and it takes only two hours to walk around Xiaoqiao's tomb. I didn't expect Xiaoqiao to be buried here, but I didn't take pictures. Because it was someone else's tombstone, I felt that it was not polite to take pictures."Yueyang.Yueyang Tower4.1km from downtownNo. 1 of Night AttractionsHighlights: The Yueyang Tower is located in Yueyang City, Hunan Province. Near the shore of Dongting Lake, the Pavilion is one of the Three Great Towers of Jiangnan. It was made famous by the author Fan Zhongyan’s Memorial to Yueyang Tower. When you climb the tower, you will overlook the misty and watery expanse of Dongting Lake. If you are familiar with Fan's Memorial to Yueyang Tower, one of its famous lines may echo in your ears: “First be concerned with the worries of the world and then you can rejoice in its joys.” In addition to climbing the tower to gaze into the distance and reflect on ancient times, the architectural structure of the tower itself is also worth a look. The entire structure is built without a single metal nail or support beam.Show Less - 6.54.1/51179 Reviewbased on 24 reviews"It is a pity that I went to Junshan Island to play on a rainy day, but it did not affect the beauty of the scenic spot, and there were delicious dumplings to send to us. This situation is a bit warmer. [Strong][Strong][Strong]"Yueyang11.9km from downtownNo. 5 of Summer OutingsHighlights: Junshan is a small island in Dongting Lake—a lake which stretches over 400 kilometers.

- 6.34.5/5378 ReviewFreebased on 6 reviews"The sunset on Dongting Lake is very beautiful. Yueyang is a small city. The biggest highlight for tourists is this lake. Looking at the Dongting landscape and green waters, the scenery is still OK. I didn’t do a cruise when I went. One is that I don’t want to spend money. In addition, I feel that watching the scenery on the lakeside is enough. There is no need to spend money on the lake, but of course this is personal preference"Yueyang3.2km from downtownHighlights: The Dongting Lake under Yueyang Tower is the relic of Yunmengze in ancient times. Although its area is now twice as small as before, it is still the second largest freshwater lake in the country. Dongting Lake is composed of four large lakes, Dongting Lake and Datong Lake in the east, west and south, presenting a landscape of water flow swamps, river network plains, surrounded by mountains on the east, south and west, and an open horseshoe-shaped basin in the north. The scenery is beautiful and there are many scenic spots, such as: Yueyang Tower, Junshan, Du Fu's Tomb, Yangmo Village, Tiejing Building, Quzi Temple and other historical sites. In Chenglingji, the junction of East Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River, there is a place called Sanjiangkou. From here, you can see Dongting in the distance, but you can see the Xiangjiang River surging northward. The literati and writers of all dynasties have enthusiastically chanted the beautiful Dongting Lake. The "Yueyang Tower" in the Northern Song Dynasty depicts the changing scenery of Dongting Lake from the perspective of Yueyang Tower. The momentum of Dongting Lake is majestic and majestic, and the moonlight of Dongting Lake is soft and magnificent. Even in the gloomy and dark weather, it gives people a unique and secret feeling, arousing people's interest in traveling. Dongting Lake is also a well-known land of fish and rice, with extremely rich products. The main economic fish are carp, grass, tuna, anchovy, herring and so on. Whitebait is its famous product. Shellfish resources are also very rich, up to more than 40 species. In addition, the ramie, Junshan tea and Xianglian abounds in the Lake District, which are well-known both at home and abroad.Show Less

- 5.84.6/589 Reviewbased on 1 reviews"From Yueyang Railway Station, take bus No. 11 to reach the Sheng'an Temple Scenic Area. From Sheng'an Temple to enter the scenic spot, you will see a big Buddha, enter the mountain gate, go to the Daxiong Palace, climb to the Yueyang Tower, and look at Dongting Lake."Yueyang4.7km from downtownHighlights: Sheng'an Temple, also known as Sheng'an Ancient Temple, is a Buddhist temple in Yueyang, Hunan, standing on Dagui Mountain. The whole temple is magnificent, with flying eaves and corners, and magnificent. Stepping into the temple, the melodious "Great Compassion Mantra", the peaceful chanting and the lingering sandalwood incense will bring people into a strong Buddhist cultural atmosphere. Following the road, the temple can be divided into the mountain gate, the hall, the Great Hall, the Buddha Hall, the Guanyin Hall, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda. The mountain gate is the main gate of Sheng'an Temple. It was built in imitation of the Buddhist Incense Pavilion Archway in the Summer Palace. There are five gates in total, also collectively known as the Wisdom Gate. The hall is one of the main buildings of Sheng'an Temple, and it is unique in modern Chinese temple architecture. It consists of the hall, the bell and drum tower, and the Sutra Pavilion. The hall is filled with incense, and there is a Maitreya Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is bare-backed, with a rosary in his hands and a smile on his face. On both sides of the Maitreya Buddha statue, there are four Dharma protectors, commonly known as the "Four Great Vajra", also known as the Four. The statue is tall and majestic, with graceful and smooth lines, and lifelike. On the back of the Buddha cage in the hall is a statue of Weituo, the guardian deity in Buddhism. He holds a pestle to subdue demons, and his statue is solemn, giving people a sense of power without anger. The Great Hall of the Buddha stands between the hall and the Buddhist Chanting Hall. With carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and corners, it naturally integrates people into a solemn atmosphere. There are three big Buddhas in the hall. The Wanfo Pagoda is built on the top of the Big Turtle Mountain and is also a tower to guard the mountain. On the base of the tower, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Nanhu Lake on the right, with seven small turtle mountains floating on the water, sometimes floating and sometimes sinking, and lifelike; looking to the left, you can see Dongting Lake in the distance, with white sails of commercial ships coming and going; looking from the front, you can see Baling City, and the whole city is in full view. Climbing the tower and looking out, the scenery is even more unparalleled, making people linger.Show Less
- 5.84.1/5363 Review"Whether in terms of history, culture or architectural style, Zhang Guying Village is worth a visit, and there is a free explanation (this must follow the interpreter while walking and listening to the most understanding). The road is far away. If it is not self-driving, it is very convenient to go to Yueyang Bus Station to buy tickets. The fare of 2l yuan is 2 hours long. You can go to the villagers' homes for lunch, and the price quality is relatively simple."Yueyang County52.2km from downtownHighlights: Zhang Guying Village, an ancient village with many years of history, is located in the Zhang Guying Town, Yueyang County, Yueyang City. Despite the changing world around it, it remains fairly true to its original state. The building materials in the ancient village are mainly wood, supplemented by blue granite bricks. The overall layout has a honeycomb-like structure. The rooms are centered on patios. Each module has an integrated courtyard.Show Less

based on 4 reviews"The scenic spot is relatively large, and those who like to climb the mountain can consider it. However, there are still several maintenance projects during the 11th tourist season, which is a pity; in addition, the fog is too thick in the morning, and a lot of landscape is wasted."Pingjiang97.6km from downtownHighlights: Located where Hunan, Hubei, and Chongqing meet, the Glass Bridge Scenic Area of Shiniuzhai has historically been an important strategic area. In the late days of the Yuan dynasty, peasant leader Tang Kuang led troops here and built fortifications, later recorded by local histories as “Shiniuzhai.” Above Shiniuzhai are limitless views, and below it enticing scenery. It is a geological wonderland of strangely shaped rocks, peaks, and stone caves carved out by nature in so many different forms that the beauty cannot be taken in all at once.Show Less
