Tianmen Mountain is still worth a visit, especially starting from Line A. The scenery along the way is charming. The slope of the cable car is still a bit high, some of which are 18 degrees. People who are afraid of heights are still a little scared. At that time, I was worried that the cable car would malfunction halfway as Douyin said. Fortunately, I arrived at the top of the mountain safely.
When I first saw the price of 278 yuan for the Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area stamps (including related items), I thought it was a bit high. But after experiencing it myself, I realized the expense far exceeded my expectations and was a true value.
The most breathtaking experience was the cable car ride, which spans over 7,000 meters and takes nearly 20 minutes. As the cable car slowly ascends, gradually rising from the lower reaches to the sky, the deep sea of clouds beneath us constantly shifts, and the magnificent scenery washes over us. Being there, you not only experience the beauty of nature but also truly admire the strength of China's "infrastructure madness"—this cable car project is undoubtedly one of the best in China.
The scenic area's elevators are also impressive. Seven elevators travel from top to bottom, efficiently transporting visitors one after another, eliminating the long hike and providing both convenience and energy.
Overall, the visual and emotional impact of the cable car through the sea of clouds and the convenience provided by the seven elevators make the 278 yuan ticket price a truly exceptional value, completely dispelling my initial concerns about the price.

Zhangjiajie National Forest is breathtaking, especially Yuanjiajie and Huangshizhai. Please note that one trip up a cable car counts as one single trip, and one trip down counts as one single trip. A three-cable elevator ticket only allows three rides on the cable car and one on the elevator. It's recommended to purchase multiple trips.
The scenery of Zhangjiajie really makes people feel the magic of nature. Standing on a high place and looking into the distance, your mood is very different. It is recommended to find a guide so that you can better view the scenery.

This trip to Fanjing Mountain was absolutely perfect.
I booked a timetable five days in advance on the official WeChat account. During those five days, I checked the weather forecast daily, and every day it predicted rain. I worried every day, afraid it would be a wasted trip and I wouldn't see anything.
It was still drizzling when I took the scenic shuttle bus, but it cleared up when I reached the summit.
The moment I saw the clouds and fog part, I was absolutely astonished. It was so stunning! I don't know how to describe my feelings at that moment.
I've traveled over 3,000 kilometers just for you.
If you're not very physically fit, definitely choose to enter and exit from the east, as there's a cable car both ways. From the high-speed rail station to Tongren, you'll need to take a direct bus or taxi to the scenic area, which takes about an hour. After entering through the east gate, you'll first take a 20-minute sightseeing bus to the cable car entrance, followed by another 15-minute cable car ride to begin the actual climb. Reservations are required for the Red Cloud Golden Summit, otherwise you won't be able to enter.

During the Spring Festival, there are many people going there. To avoid the crowds, you can choose to stay near the scenic area and go there in the evening or morning when there will be fewer people. The Miao village itself is quite large, and it is quite unique to climb up to a high place to see the panoramic view.
It takes about an hour to get to the North Gate of Miao Village by bus from Kaili South Station. If you like taking photos, you can go there. It is very photogenic and the night view is beautiful. The facilities are complete and it will be more comfortable to go there when there are fewer people in the off-season.

I knew about Mawangdui when I watched Day Day Up when I was a kid, but I only knew the name. This time I had the opportunity to visit the museum and observe it up close. I finally saw the ancient poetry in the museum. To be honest, it was really shocking. It was a very unforgettable experience. I also went to Tao Zhe's concert here, which was very good.
There are so many treasures, all very cute. The explanation is the main part, and most of the time you can explore on your own. I went early, and when I first entered, there was no one at Lady Xin Zhui's place, so I could see it "without any obstacles". I really liked the part about clothes. I found it magical to listen to the explanation. Although I can't remember too much, it is much more interesting than exploring on my own. I bought a plush human-faced tripod refrigerator magnet, which I like very much.

Orange Island, a dazzling pearl embedded in the landscape of Changsha, carries a profound historical and cultural heritage and holds immense significance. It is not only a National 5A-level tourist attraction but also the visual centerpiece of Changsha's distinctive "Mountain, Water, Island, and City" landscape.
A visit to Changsha without visiting Orange Island would be like missing out on the city's soul. Here, you can take a photo with the magnificent sculpture of a young Mao Zedong. The sculpture, reflecting people's deep remembrance of the great man, attracts countless visitors seeking to check in and trace his legacy.
Besides its rich cultural heritage, Orange Island's natural scenery is equally captivating. Surrounded by water, overlooking Yuelu Mountain to the west and the ancient city to the east, its flat terrain makes it the largest island among the sandbars in the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River and the world's largest inland island, earning it the title of "China's First Island."
Orange Island is a must-see attraction when visiting Changsha. My visit was absolutely amazing!
I made reservations in advance through the "Yuelu Mountain Orange Island Tourist Area" official account and was able to easily enter the park by simply scanning the QR code. It was incredibly convenient. There's no entrance fee, so it's free to visit—a fantastic value for money! Upon entering, I was greeted by a sea of greenery. The landscaping was incredibly well-maintained, and the air was incredibly fresh. Strolling along the riverbank, the gentle breeze caressing my face, and gazing at the shimmering Xiang River was a truly relaxing experience.
A must-see is the sculpture of young Mao Zedong. The moment I saw it in person, I was deeply moved. This magnificent sculpture perfectly captures the great man's youthful vigor and vitality. Standing before it, I felt a surge of pride and quickly snapped countless photos.
When you're tired of strolling around, head to the snack street, where you'll find a dazzling array of Changsha specialties, from stinky tofu to sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes. Every bite exudes the authentic Changsha flavor, instantly energizing you.
Transportation is also incredibly convenient. I highly recommend taking Metro Line 2 and getting off at Orange Island Station. The scenic area entrance is right outside the station. If you're driving, there are parking lots nearby, but parking can be a bit time-consuming during holidays.
This trip to Orange Island was truly unforgettable, offering not only breathtaking natural scenery but also a rich cultural atmosphere. I'll definitely come back for another chance!

A small pavilion mainly records the life and birth of Du Fu, and then travels all the way. Some of the videos are only three stories high. When there is nowhere to go, you can go up and take a walk. It is Orange Island on the other side of the river and take some photos.
The night view of Du Fu Jiangge is more beautiful than the day view. It is crowded at night, but deserted during the day. The performance is also quite exciting, but it is too short. It ended in 10 minutes, which was too fast. I didn't have time to see it clearly. I almost didn't see anything. I suggest that the performance time can be longer in the future to make it more worthwhile.

Because it was raining, I only went to Ping'anzhuang. The terraced rice in the rain had a different kind of beauty. 👍
We had the local specialty bamboo rice, which became more fragrant the more we chewed it. The owner also gave us some freshly picked passion fruit, which was sweet with a hint of tartness. Delicious! 🤤
The Longji Rice Terraces are a masterpiece of nature. They not only boast beautiful natural scenery and a long history and cultural heritage, but also carry people's yearning and pursuit for a better life.

Wearing plain Hanfu, stand on the observation deck, holding a bamboo umbrella or round fan, letting the mist gently caress your cheeks. As the sunlight penetrates the fabric, the dark patterns appear faintly. The blue-gray rock wall in the background looks like rice paper, and every shot captures the essence of Chinese aesthetics. Or squat among the flowers, holding a fresh flower, the flowers and the person complement each other, experiencing the ancient description of the human face and the peach blossoms complementing each other.
I booked this hotel randomly, but it turned out to be so good! Although it was newly renovated, it didn't feel like a renovation. The room was very clean, and the bedding was the white color I like, very high-end and comfortable. The price was quite reasonable, it was really a good value hotel.
