Finally, I ascended the Tengwang Pavilion, a place I'd been longing to visit! My firsthand experience absolutely deserves a five-star rating.
Standing atop the pavilion, the magnificent scene of "the setting sun and lone wild geese flying together, the autumn waters merging with the vast sky" unfolded before my eyes. The Gan River and the city's prosperity stretched out before me, a breathtaking panorama that defies description. The profound cultural heritage within the pavilion emanates from every plaque and couplet, as if one could hear the echoes of history.
"The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together; the autumn water blends with the vast sky." The Tengwang Pavilion, described by Wang Bo, is a sacred place in the hearts of scholars and poets. Today, witnessing the dazzling lights of this thousand-year-old pavilion is like traveling through time, sharing this magnificent view with the ancients. The night view of Tengwang Pavilion is picturesque; its upturned eaves gleam under the lights. Climbing the pavilion and gazing into the distance, the prosperity of Nanchang city unfolds before your eyes, a blend of ancient and modern, leaving one in awe. As Su Shi said, "The landscape is like a painting; how many heroes have emerged in this era!" In short, the Tengwang Pavilion scenic area is truly worth a visit!

It was my first time in Changsha, and I chose to go to the Hunan Provincial Museum first. I saw the Mawangdui Han Tomb exhibits that I had only seen on TV before. The tour guide Xiao Xiao was very responsible and patient, and the explanation was very detailed. It was a great experience.
Today's visit to the Hunan Provincial Museum completely exceeded our expectations, thanks to our docent, Xiao Xiao. Instead of simply reading from a script, she brought the artifacts to life with vivid details. When discussing the brocade robes from the Mawangdui Han Tomb, she remarked, "Nobles over 2,000 years ago wore such lightweight, 'haute couture' garments." She spoke with impeccable speed and passion throughout, ensuring we didn't feel overwhelmed by information or miss any of the remarkable stories. At the end, she even shared many of her own photos. Her professional and engaging explanations allowed us to not only see the artifacts themselves, but also understand the history and culture behind them. If you visit the Hunan Provincial Museum, be sure to experience this unforgettable experience with Xiao Xiao.

A large park around the river. In addition to enjoying the breeze by the river, you can also see the large statue of Mao Zedong! It's a long way to get in from the subway, and the round trip bus cost 40 yuan, which is not cost-effective! I can only say that if you have nothing to do and have time, it's okay to take a walk if you like to exercise.
The night view is stunning. The light show makes it look bustling and prosperous.
We took the train. It wasn't crowded. Most people went to see the giant statue of Chairman Mao.
We enjoyed the breeze from the Xiang River. The view was also expansive.
It's a shame our stay was short. We didn't get to see every scene in detail.

A friend recommended this restaurant, and I tried it today! The taste was indeed excellent, very authentic, and the portions were generous. Delivery was fast too. Highly recommended! I'll definitely recommend it to my friends next time.
Lushan Scenic Area is a renowned 5A-rated scenic area in China. Its scenery is breathtaking, and every visit offers a unique experience. This year marks my second visit. The scenic area's bus system is well-established, making it easy for visitors to travel between attractions. The staff are also friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, answering any questions you may have.

Upstairs, there's a video of Du Fu's poem "Meeting Li Guinian Again in Jiangnan," which brought me to tears. "Often seen at Prince Qi's residence, heard many times before Cui Jiu's hall. It is indeed a beautiful scene in Jiangnan, meeting you again in the season of falling flowers." Ultimately, he died far from home, never returning to his native soil. Du Fu, a poet saint for all time, dedicated his life to his country and its people!
Regarding this place, it is highly recommended to visit here at the evening because the nightview is very resplendent.

It's not peak season in Wuyishan now, so there aren't many people at the various scenic spots. Aside from taking a bamboo raft, which is quite crowded, sitting and watching the Nine Bends is comfortable, the scenery is pleasant, and it's not too hot. The air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms, and some tea trees have even started to bloom. Strolling along the paths is a truly relaxing experience.
Wuyi Mountain is definitely worth a visit. The air is fresh and the environment is good. Walking in the mountains will make you feel relaxed and refreshed. It does require a certain amount of physical strength, otherwise you might not be able to walk any further.

We went in early August during summer vacation. It was quite crowded, so the line was understandably long.
However, some travelers were smoking and shirtless while waiting in line, which really ruined the experience. If you see this review, I hope it will be improved.
Want another review? Haha. I have to climb it once a year. Mountains, meadows, sea of clouds, there's no better place. We usually go down the mountain after watching the sunset, so we don't have time to take the cable car. What mountain climbing doesn't hurt your legs? If you don't hurt your legs, you're not a special forces soldier. Just do it.

Haihunhou went there just to see the gold. It was quite meaningful to see the bronze artifacts in the actual venue. I also admired the wisdom of the ancients who were able to build chariots and horses in an era without screws, and also carved jade artifacts. However, you must ask for an explanation so that you can know some interesting stories.
We arrived early in the morning, so it's a bit far. If this attraction were closer to the city, I can't imagine how crowded it would be. It was quite lively. Overall, the museum isn't as extensive as other general museums, but as a specialized museum, it's quite good. The cemetery experience was quite good, though the only drawback is that the cemetery seems a bit small. The shuttle bus is very convenient, but you'll still need to take it in hot weather.

The hotel has a great location and environment, the beds and blankets are clean and comfortable, and the price is much more affordable than other hotels. The cleanliness and environment are on par with other hotels, the staff are very responsive, and the overall ambiance is appealing. I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely stay here again.
Climbing Gaoyiling, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the weather exceptionally clear and bright. Under the blazing sun, the scenery shifted dramatically, mountains and water, the elevation changes constantly, clothes getting wet and then drying, then getting wet again – a painful yet exhilarating experience!
I always thought Danxia landforms were yellowish-red mud, and karst landscapes were dark, rocky mountains. But Gaoyiling, with its barren rocky mountains, did appear even darker, which is characteristic of Danxia. Well, my understanding was too limited.
This scenery is very attractive; you should come and experience it!

Mount Hengshan, one of the Five Great Mountains, is breathtaking. Besides the historic Nanyue Temple, there are also breathtaking mountain scenery. The highest peak is Zhurong Peak, where you'll see many students making wishes and fulfilling them. It's important to note that when ascending Zhurong Peak from the South Gate of Heaven, remember to take the main road, not the smaller path. The smaller path is a mountain path with high stone steps and is not recommended for the elderly or children.
Hengshan Mountain entrance fees are quite affordable, and compared to the Five Great Mountains, they're quite affordable. However, due to its reputation, there are a lot of vendors. I'm not sure why there's no cable car, but it makes no sense, considering this place doesn't need the income. The scenery is quite nice, and the climb isn't too strenuous. The shuttle service is excellent, and you can call to request a shuttle to pick you up at some smaller attractions.
