Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area is very beautiful. I bought Line A, perfect for taking the elderly and children! I bought a ticket for 9:00 to 10:00. Perhaps because it was summer vacation, it took almost an hour to queue at the entrance to get on the sightseeing bus.

I have to give a thumbs up to the two volunteers, one male and one female, who were on duty at Wulingyuan South Gate, the entrance, and the cable car ticket office. Having traveled through so many cities, I've never experienced such exceptional hospitality. They helped me draw a route map that morning, instructed me on how to buy cable car tickets, and even proactively made reservations for the next day. Thank you! I returned at noon to inquire about Golden Whip Stream. Despite the scorching heat, they were still so helpful, selfless, and truly appreciated the warmth and friendliness of the people of Wulingyuan. I sincerely hope Zhangjiajie's tourism industry will emulate their exemplary approach. Excellent work, thumbs up! 👍
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is truly picturesque, and the weather is pleasant, making hiking in the mountains very comfortable and cool during the summer. We spent three days exploring Huangshizhai, Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie, and Tianzi Mountain. It was a shame Tianbo Mansion wasn't open, otherwise a four-day ticket would have been perfect for a more in-depth tour.

Fanjing Mountain is well worth a visit. It's recommended to purchase tickets at least three days in advance. Once you enter the scenic area, make a reservation for the Red Cloud Golden Summit. This way, you can go to the Red Cloud Golden Summit first, as you'll need to wait in line for your number to be called. If you have more than an hour until your number is called, you can go to the Old Golden Summit and Mushroom Hill first.
Fanjingshan is definitely worth a visit. We were incredibly lucky this time. A reminder: be sure to purchase your tickets at least three days in advance. If you forget, it's hard to get one, and even if you do, the time slots are often quite late. Also, once you enter the mountain and board the sightseeing bus, you need to reserve a ticket for the Red and Golden Cloud Summit. Otherwise, you'll have to wait in line for a long time to get up there. Even after reaching the Red Cloud Summit, you still have to wait in line to get up.

There are really a lot of tourists, but the museum is worth a visit. Especially under the explanation of Mr. Yin on Mawangdui, it shows a rich picture of the life of the Han Dynasty nobles, making people feel that there are so many interesting stories behind the historical relics. I recommend everyone to follow the guide and it is worth the trip.
You can't buy regular tickets, you can only choose the guided tour. In fact, you can buy tickets to other exhibitions. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Orange Island is well worth a visit. The Xiang River surrounds Orange Island, and a cruise offers panoramic views of Changsha, perfect for photogenic photos. There's a miniature train and a cruise available, and cruise passengers get a free miniature train ticket.
Orange Island is located in the middle of the Xiangjiang River in downtown Changsha, Hunan Province, at 28°10'23.40"N, 112°57'18.36"E. It is one of the many alluvial sandbars in the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River. Facing Yuelu Mountain to the west and Changsha City to the east, Orange Island is surrounded by water. It stretches 5 kilometers long, measuring approximately 40 meters wide at its narrowest point, 140 meters wide at its widest point, and just over 300 meters wide at its widest point. The island is long and narrow, resembling a long dragon. The Orange Island Bridge spans it, 1 kilometer from downtown Changsha, offering convenient transportation and a prime location. It covers an area of 0.614 square kilometers and is a popular online destination in Changsha.
The Orange Island scenic area, comprising Orange Island and Fujia Island, covers 91.64 hectares, with a total construction area of approximately 138.34 hectares. The core scenic area has expanded northward from the original Orange Island scenic area, covering a total area of 37.43 hectares, six times the size of the original Orange Island scenic area. The park mainly makes full use of and preserves ancient buildings, actively creating a landscape atmosphere that combines cultural history with plant landscapes, with "Red Tourism" as the leading factor. Orange Island Scenic Area is a great place for leisure tourism.

You absolutely have to visit Du Fu Jiangge at night. It looks quite ordinary during the day, but at night, it's a completely different experience. The lights come on and the atmosphere becomes truly captivating. Many influencers livestream their singing below, which is truly delightful to listen to. Across from it is Chairman Mao's statue at Orange Island, where you can take photos. But don't go too late at night, as the lights seem to be turned off at 10:30 p.m. Another plus is that the river breeze is so pleasant at night, otherwise Changsha's summer heat is unbearable.
It's worth it. I've been here so many times and I always feel the service is very good. This time I bought a box of snail noodles and it only cost 8 yuan to mail it. I booked two or three rooms and each room was given a bottle of water. I feel the service is really good.

The scenery is indeed beautiful. The terraced fields and green hills complement each other, and the shadows of the white clouds make the green hills and rice fields appear bright and dark. Staying in a B&B on the top of the mountain, I was lucky enough to see the fireworks at night. Sitting on the small balcony and enjoying the evening breeze with my loved one was a very peaceful and romantic experience.
The terraced fields are large in scale, covering an area of 66 square kilometers, including three major scenic areas: Jinkeng Dazhai Red Yao Terraces, Ping'an Zhuang Terraces, and Longji Ancient Zhuang Village Terraces. They have unique landscapes such as Seven Stars with the Moon and Nine Dragons and Five Tigers. Its scenery varies with each season: spring is like a mirror, summer is green, autumn is golden, and winter is like ink and wash painting, attracting many tourists and photography enthusiasts.

Yueyang Tower, located in Yueyanglou District, Yueyang City, Hunan Province, sits atop the west gate wall of the ancient city, close to the shores of Dongting Lake. Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower Inscription" made Yueyang Tower world-famous. Standing atop Yueyang Tower, the famous line "Before the world worries, I worry about my own; after the world rejoices, I rejoice in its own happiness" echoes in one's ears. "Dongting Lake is the most beautiful water in the world, and Yueyang Tower is the most beautiful tower in the world." Yueyang Tower, along with the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei, and the Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi, is considered one of the "Three Famous Towers of Jiangnan."
Itinerary: Yueyang Tower - Bianhe Street - Baling Square. The main building of Yueyang Tower isn't large, but the scenic area covers a large area. Feeling the breeze from Dongting Lake, strolling along the emerald stone slabs, you can feel the atmosphere of literati and poets. Compared to the city center, Yueyang Tower is quite comfortable and less stuffy. Across from the south exit of the scenic area is Bianhe Street, a short street dedicated to snacks and cultural and creative products. Crossing Bianhe Street leads to Baling Square, where this sculpture is the highlight. I heard that walking further from Baling Square leads to Nanhu Street, which has been beautifully renovated for the Tourism Development Conference. However, due to time constraints, we didn't go there.

Arrived at 11:00 am, it felt like a private place, quiet, and the feeling of slowly swimming down was also good. I visited the Zhuangyuan Building, Confucius House, etc. It was good! But I didn't see the performance, which was a little regretful.
You must go late, the cheap tickets are worth the money. The evening show is very exciting and I think it's fun. The lights are also beautiful. But the food inside is not very good.

Tens of thousands of acres of meadows

Wugong Mountain is so beautiful that I am speechless! The meadow is like a green carpet spreading to the horizon, and when the sea of clouds rolls, it feels like being in a fairyland. Although the hike is tiring, the moment you reach the top and see the sunrise penetrate the clouds, all the fatigue is worth it. You must go there in your lifetime!
The evaluation of visiting Wugong Mountain can be summarized as "the perfect combination of extreme natural experience and mild challenge". It is suitable for tourists who love the outdoors and pursue natural wildness, but they also need to make plans according to their own situation. The following is a specific evaluation from different dimensions:
Advantages: A natural gift worth going to
1. Unique landscape, full film output rate
One hundred thousand acres of alpine meadows are the "soul" of Wugong Mountain, especially when the grass is green in spring and summer and the ground is golden in autumn and winter. Walking on the ridge is like being in the cloud grassland, and every shot is a "windows desktop déjà vu". The sea of clouds, sunrise, and starry sky are "plus points"-the sea of clouds in the morning after the rain can turn the mountains into "fairy islands", and when the golden light of the sunrise on the Golden Summit is sprinkled on the meadow, the grandeur will make people instantly forget the fatigue of climbing.
2. Rich hiking experience and strong sense of achievement
Whether it is a full-course hike (such as the classic crossing line from Longshan Village to Jinding) or a half-course cable car + hiking, you can feel the fun of switching between mountains and meadows. Although the sections such as Hero Slope and Despair Slope are steep, you will feel a sense of accomplishment when you look back at the road you have walked after reaching the top. It is suitable for people who like light outdoor challenges.
3. The atmosphere is free and casual, suitable for relaxation
There are many accommodation options on the mountain, such as starry sky tents and wooden inns. You can lie on the meadow to watch the stars at night and be awakened by birdsong in the morning. The quiet feeling away from the hustle and bustle of the city is particularly healing. Chatting with like-minded hikers or sitting alone on the top of the mountain in a daze can make people relax.
4. The price-performance ratio is acceptable, and the supporting facilities are basically complete
The ticket price is moderate, and the distribution of catering and supply points on the mountain is reasonable (although the price is slightly higher, it is acceptable). Cable cars, sightseeing buses and other facilities meet the needs of tourists with different physical strengths. The overall threshold for playing is not high.
Complaints: A small regret that needs to be avoided in advance
1. The weather changes quickly, and the experience depends on luck
The weather in Wugong Mountain can be called "random mode". It is common for it to be sunny one second and rainy the next second. If there is heavy fog or continuous rainfall, you may miss the sea of clouds and sunrise, and even affect the safety of hiking. Be sure to check the weather forecast before departure.
2. There are crowds of people on holidays, and the sense of tranquility is discounted
The Golden Summit and popular sections on weekends and holidays are more
