Guangdong Surrounding Tour - Chenzhou Dongjiang Lake As the nearest Hunan city to Guangdong - Chenzhou, the attractions are very scattered, relatively speaking, if the distance is close, there is no need to run all the attractions in two days for leisure. More suitable for friends who drive by themselves on weekends. We set off from Shaoguan, and it only takes half an hour to go to Chenzhou by high-speed rail. Introduction to Dongjiang Lake Scenic Spot: Dongjiang Lake is located in Zixing City in the northeast of Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, 30 kilometers west of Chenzhou City. It is a national scenic spot and a national AAAAA tourist area. The main landscapes in the area are: Misty Xiaodongjiang, Dongjiang Dam, Longjing Canyon, Doulu Lingyan, Dongjiang Drifting, etc... Best fog viewing time: April-October 6:30-8:00, 17:30-19:30 We went in late August, relatively speaking, it is the best viewing period for fog There are many people on weekends, so everyone should be mentally prepared. Even at 6:00 in the morning, the traffic at the entrance of the scenic spot is blocked, and it is recommended that there is plenty of time to stay in a hotel or homestay near the scenic spot and walk to the entrance of the scenic spot early in the morning. The homestay I stayed in also raised a very Cute meteorite border shepherd The most convenient way to get to Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area: charter Vehicle quotation: From Chenzhou West or Chenzhou Station to Dongjiang, a 5-seater car is about 120 yuan, a 7-seater is about 150 yuan, and the average person to the scenic area is 25-30 yuan We took a ride directly from Chenzhou West High-speed Railway Station to Dongjiang, which was very cost-effective. Relatively speaking, there were many drivers, but there were not so many drivers when returning, so it is recommended that everyone book a ride in advance when returning Inside the scenic spot: Xiaodongjiang No. 2 Bridge Viewing Floating Bridge Platform Go down and turn right and walk about 100 meters to the Fisherman's Net Casting Point (When we went there, there were a lot of people on the No. 2 Bridge Viewing Floating Bridge, it is recommended to avoid the peak and go to the No. 3 Viewing Bridge where you can actually see it without having to follow the crowd) The fisherman's net casting performance time is about 6:30-9:00 every day. The summer performance time will be different from other seasons depending on the weather. It is highly recommended to eat the fried small fish in Dongjiang Lake and the fish powder in Chenzhou City. It's really delicious The price is generally 10r for four, and the big one may be 10r for two. It is recommended to eat the small one and fry it more crispy

Chenzhou in Hunan, the 'Chen' of Chenzhou, is not a complicated character, but it is very easy to misrecognize. When placed together, maybe a few more people will recognize it, but if you take it out alone, nine out of ten people will be clueless. It's okay not to recognize it, but you must know that Chenzhou has many famous tourist attractions, such as Gaoyiling Tourist Area, Dongjiang Lake, Yangtian Lake Prairie, and Mangshan Wuzhifeng, among others. These attractions have their own unique features, and in short, Chenzhou is a charming tourist destination. 🚘 Transportation ✈️ Airplane: Chenzhou Beihu Airport. If not available, you can fly to Changsha and then take the high-speed train to Chenzhou. 🚄 High-speed train: Chenzhou West Station/Chenzhou Station, there are many trips from all over the country, which is quite convenient. 🌈 3-day 2-night travel itinerary Day1: Yangtian Lake Prairie - Gaoyiling Day2: Misty Xiaodongjiang - Bailang Day3: Mangshan Wuzhifeng - Yuhou Street Check-in spots 1️⃣ Misty Xiaodongjiang The 12-kilometer-long Xiaodongjiang, with its clear and clean water💦 and fresh and pleasant air, allows the rhythm of water to penetrate the tunnel of time. From April to October each year, whenever the sun rises or sets🌇, from the entrance of Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area to Dongjiang Dam, you can always see the magical 🌫 fog of Xiaodongjiang. 2️⃣ Yangtian Lake Prairie Yangtian Lake Prairie has introduced a variety of cute pets such as alpacas🦆, Khaki Campbell ducks, black swans, and deer🦌. Feeding various small animals up close is definitely a memory worth cherishing forever during vacation time. 3️⃣ Gaoyiling Mainly mountainous, with pleasant scenery and a forest coverage rate of 95%, it is an undeveloped Danxia landform virgin land. The biggest feature is the Danxia landform surrounded by beautiful puddles, red rocks, and green waters🍀, dangerous fortresses, and strange streams, which are incredibly beautiful. 4️⃣ Mangshan Wuzhifeng Located in Rongjiadong, Yizhang County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, it boasts the core essence of the Mangshan landscape with strange pines, rocks, and precipitous peaks. Cloud seas☁️ and waterfalls are everywhere you look. 5️⃣ Bailang Locals call it the 'Little Erhai Lake,' an absolute king of free attractions! You can rent an electric scooter🛵 and cycle around the lake, which really feels like the Erhai Lake in Dali. 6️⃣ Yuhou Street Every brick and tile here tells the historical vicissitudes and changes. The night view is super beautiful👀. 🏠 Accommodation recommendations It is recommended to choose accommodation near Xiaodongjiang, so it is closer to each scenic area. For those going to Mangshan Wuzhifeng, consider staying near the west gate, as the drive from Chenzhou to Mangshan takes more than 2 hours. 🥘 Food recommendations Fish powder, pig-killing powder, chopped meat powder, qiaozui fish, sturgeon, roasted chicken, fat lady tied duck, Linwu duck, Dongjiang fish ✅ Travel preparation Documents: ID card, student ID, and various discount documents📚 Electronics: mobile phone, charger, power bank, camera, etc.📸 Daily necessities: toiletries, hydration products, cosmetics, umbrella, change of clothes, etc. 📝 Small tips 1. For those who want to watch the Dongjiang Lake fishermen casting nets, the second viewing platform is the best spot. 2. Mangshan Wuzhifeng Scenic Area is located at the east gate, while Mangshan Forest Park is at the west gate, do not confuse them. 3. Be sure to check the weather forecast before departure, and plan your itinerary and clothing accordingly. 4. The road conditions in Yangtian Lake Prairie are not very good, so drivers should go slowly.

Dongjiang Lake is a huge area with tons of things to see, do and explore. When entering you can buy tickets which include bus and boat and rafting tickets. The bus takes you past a dam and to the main area with restaurants and shops. You can then walk to some of the waterfalls and shorter paths. The boat from there takes you to the island after a 20 min cruise where you can do more walks or go into the huge limestone karst cave which you can see in my pictures is truly spectacular. There is an option of white water rafting on the other side of the lake which I didn't try. The cave was the biggest highlight for me, it was cool and damp and the paths lead you up and down and around the maze like cave for about a 20-30 minute walk. There are bats on the ceiling and huge limestone features everywhere lit up by multicoloured lights. It's like an alien world and something that no pictures do justice. The cave is very large and at the end of the path you can buy souvenirs. In dongjiang lake I would recommend trying some local small spicy fish snacks. #mountainview #staycation

Located in the National 5A Tourist Scenic Area of Zixing City, Chenzhou, Hunan, there are main attractions such as Misty Xiaodongjiang, Dongjiang Dam, Longjing Canyon, especially Misty Xiaodongjiang, you must go in the morning to see the misty river surface, like a fairyland, the internet celebrity check-in spot "Fisherman Casting Nets" to see how to catch fish. Longjing Canyon has "green water and green mountains, flowing springs and flying waterfalls", beautiful!

Travel Section: Departing from Guangzhou Station, it only takes 1.5 hours by high-speed train to reach Chenzhou West Station, with ticket prices around 170+ yuan. If time and budget allow, you can also opt for the more nostalgic sleeper train, which takes longer (about 4.5 hours) but is more affordable and offers a closer look at local life. Upon disembarking at Chenzhou Station, you can immediately taste the authentic Yu Fen and Sha Zhu Fen, both delicious and economical. Since the attractions are quite far apart, it is recommended to book a ride-share through a legitimate platform. Although you may encounter drivers who charge extra, it is still generally economical. Landscape and Food Exploration: The first recommended destination is Gaoyiling, known for its spectacular Danxia landform. The best time to visit is on a clear day, which will result in better photo outcomes. For ticket prices, students with valid IDs can enjoy a half-price discount at only 49 yuan; adults pay 96 yuan. The tour route includes the Stonehenge, the challenging Dengyun Ladder, cliff plank walkways, the Giant Lizard Lake resembling a green iguana, Dragon's Back, suspension bridges, and the Shouting Spring among many other unique landscapes. Remember to bring supplies, as goods are relatively expensive at the mountain top. In the evening, head to the freely accessible Yuhou Street, which, as the lights come on, feels like a 'Little Suzhou' in the Jiangnan water town style. Consider climbing the arch bridge for a panoramic view of Yuhou Street and try on various ethnic costumes for a photo shoot. The next morning, be sure to visit the enchanting Dongjiang Lake, where the misty surface of the lake at this time creates a unique atmosphere. Depending on your schedule, you can choose different routes; student tickets are only 40 yuan. If you're on a tight schedule and can only experience Route One, it's still enough to enjoy the beauty of Xiao Dongjiang, watch the fisherman's net casting performance, take a leisurely boat ride, take commemorative photos, visit waterfalls, the hydroelectric station, and ride the thrilling 'over-mountain' sightseeing car. Additionally, the food by Dongjiang Lake is equally tempting, with local snacks like fried salmon, Qiao Mouth Fish, and desserts like Bing Fen and Ci Ba, all of which are not to be missed. Accommodation Strategy: We chose a homestay in a villa area near Dongjiang Lake, which was quiet and elegant, surrounded by beautiful peach blossoms. The original price for the double room we booked was 88 yuan, but the considerate landlord upgraded us to a room equipped with a projector. Both the interior decoration and the facilities were very well-designed, clean, and new, making it an extremely cost-effective choice. It's worth mentioning that by sharing photos of the homestay on social media, you can even enjoy free electric bike rides.

It takes six hours to drive from Zhuhai to Chenzhou. We set off in the morning of the first day and arrived at three in the afternoon.

First day itinerary: 711 Mine➡️Wa Yao Ping➡️Yuhou Street at night. It must be the off-season because there were very few people, and we finished both attractions in half an hour each. After that, we rested at the hotel and ordered takeout of Bailutang pig-slaughtering rice noodles! Really good 7 Second day itinerary: Chenzhou Changjuan➡️Pangpo's Bound Duck at Xia Mei Bridge (delicious and spicy enough for Cantonese to enjoy)➡️Gao Yiling (followed the guide to the Farmer's Villa at Gao Yiling, the mountain road had many twists, but it only took 15min to reach the top, suitable for lazy people hehe)➡️Stayed at a hotel near Dongjiang Lake at night. Third day itinerary: Dongjiang Lake (really couldn't get up early, started at nine, although there was no fog, it was still beautiful, bought route 2, after viewing the lake took a two and a half hour round trip boat ride, the boat stopped at a point where there was a cave kiln to visit, cool inside for about forty minutes) Dongjiang🐟 was also quite delicious➡️After lunch, headed back in the afternoon over.
