Introduction Sea of Clouds in Hengyang

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The formation of the cloud sea in Hengshan is closely related to the local climatic conditions and geographical environment. Hengshan Mountain is located in the subtropical monsoon climate zone, with abundant rainfall and clouds. After the sudden rise or drop in temperature or rainfall, especially after autumn, the cold air goes south and the warm and wet air converges, which is easy to form a sea of clouds landscape. At this time, tourists in the Zhurong Peak and other high places to watch, you can see the sea of clouds billowing, the peak of the magnificent scene. The shape and color of the sea of clouds are constantly changing with the weather and light changes, making people dizzying.

Hengyang: A City Built on Manufacturing, Thriving on Culture and Tourism

Hengyang: A City Built on Manufacturing, Thriving on Culture and Tourism

🌟Highlights: Hengyang, a city with a strong manufacturing base, has embarked on a path of cultural and tourism development in recent years. Several newly added commercial districts and attractions have become popular destinations. If you have some free time this weekend, Hengyang is worth a visit. ✅Must-try 1: Nanyueli Temple Fair Cultural and Food Street. This newly built national-style commercial pedestrian street in Hengshan County is a 5-minute drive from the foot of Hengshan Mountain. The entire street, less than 1 km long, is lined with Chinese-style ancient buildings, mainly featuring Hunan snacks. When the lights come on at night, it feels like traveling back to the Tang and Song dynasties. During major holidays, there are also performances featuring women in ancient costumes dancing on boats and firework shows. ✅Must-try 2: Baoweili Community. The Hengyang Railway Bureau holds a significant position in China's railway history. Here, you can find the former office of the Hengyang Railway Bureau, which is now the Hengyang Railway Museum. The surrounding streets have been renovated and now feature many colorful graffiti walls, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Former shops have been transformed into cafes and gift shops. ✅Must-try 3: Jianxiang Road. Jianxiang Road was once Hengyang's factory district. The community streets have been renovated, with new graffiti walls covering several residential buildings, giving the area a cyberpunk feel. You can visit the Jianxiang Industrial Art Museum, which was converted from an old factory building. Next door is the Jianxiang Canteen, which retains the industrial character of the area. 🍽Dining Recommendations: 1️⃣ Hengyang fish noodles are a local breakfast specialty. I personally recommend Xu Lai Ji Fish Noodle Shop. The fish soup is super fresh, but the fish has many bones, so be sure to chew slowly and carefully. 2️⃣ For lunch or dinner, Hengyang small stir-fries are a must-try. I recommend Wang Huo Huo Local Hunan Cuisine. The dishes are served quickly, and the wok hei is evident. The spicy and garlicky flavors will tantalize your taste buds. 👎Least Recommended: Shigu Academy. This is a landmark in Hengyang City and one of the four major academies in ancient times, rated as a 4A-level scenic spot. However, the academy is very small, and you can walk around it in 15 minutes. The river view is also quite ordinary. You can skip this if you have limited time. 🚉Transportation Guide: Hengyang City is not large, and the above attractions all have parking lots. If you don't have a car, you can take a taxi or rent a shared electric bike, which is more cost-effective.

Hengyang Fuyin Lane | A Quiet Corner in Time

Hengyang Fuyin Lane | A Quiet Corner in Time

| A Quiet Corner in Time 🌆 Today, I stumbled upon Fuyin Lane in Hengyang, as if stepping into a time sealed by the dust of years. 🚶 As soon as you enter the alley, you can feel a tranquility that is completely different from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The narrow alley, with its stone pavement, bears the marks of time, and every step seems to echo with history. 🏠 Most of the houses on both sides are old-style buildings, with walls bearing mottled marks, some with peeling paint revealing the blue bricks inside, exuding an ancient and weathered atmosphere. Some houses still retain old-style carved doors and windows, weathered but still showing their former delicacy, as if silently telling stories of the past. 🌳 Occasionally, there are a few big trees in the alley, with lush branches and leaves, and sunlight filtering through the gaps, casting patches of light and shadow, adding a touch of vibrant color to the slightly dim alley. Perhaps there were once old people chatting and cooling off under the trees, and children playing and laughing. 🙏 According to nearby residents, the name Fuyin Lane is related to some early missionary activities. Although times have changed, the name has been preserved, becoming part of Hengyang's memory. 🎈 Today, Fuyin Lane is free from commercial disturbances, still retaining its original life atmosphere. Occasionally, you can see residents' clothes gently swaying in the wind, and hear a few words of Hengyang dialect from inside the house, making you feel at home. 💕 In this fast-paced modern life, Fuyin Lane is like a quiet haven, allowing people to pause their hurried steps, to feel the unique charm of Hengyang's old town, and to savor the stories that have gradually settled in the river of time. Next time, I must come back to Fuyin Lane, walk slowly, savor carefully, and explore more little beauties hidden by time~😃

[Hunan]→Nanyue·Mount Heng.

[Hunan]→Nanyue·Mount Heng.

[Hunan]→Nanyue·Mount Heng Friends, Mount Heng is known for its beautiful scenery among the Five Great Mountains, and is known as the "most beautiful of the Five Great Mountains". So where is it "beautiful"? It's beautiful in the trees all over the mountain, the grass all over the slope, the green all over the eyes. Along the way, you can see that Mount Heng is densely forested and lush. It is said that this is the place where heaven and man are divided, hence the name "Nantianmen". This is also the best place to enjoy the scenery of Mount Heng. In spring, you can see flowers, in summer, you can see clouds, in autumn, you can see the sun, and in winter, you can see snow. It is pleasing to the eye and there is more than enough to see. This is also the last stop to the top of the peak. Let's go and enjoy the endless scenery on the dangerous peak of Zhurong. Zhurong Peak is 1,290 meters above sea level and is the first of the 72 peaks of Nanyue. It is named after the main god of Mount Heng--the fire god Zhurong, "the height of Zhurong Peak" and "the depth of Fangguang Temple" "The beauty of the Tibetan Sutra Hall" and "the wonder of the Water Curtain Cave" are known as the four absolutes of Mount Heng. What you see now is Zhurong Hall, originally named Laosheng Hall, which was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and the existing building was rebuilt in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Zhurong Hall is not big, one entrance and two rooms, built on a boulder, granite wall, the roof is covered with iron tiles, mostly cast in the Song Dynasty, and it is still shiny and rust-free. Mount Heng is located in the central part of Hunan Province, spanning Hengyang, Hengshan, Hengdong, Xiangxiang, Xiangtan, Changsha and other six counties and cities, spanning 800 miles, with 72 peaks, the main peak is Zhurong Peak, with an altitude of 1,300.2 meters, which is outstanding in the hills of central and southern Hunan. Passing through Nanyue Ancient Town, you will see a group of magnificent palace-style buildings, which is the Nanyue Temple known as the "Little Forbidden City in the South of the Yangtze River".

Eight years later, National Day, see you again at Hengshan Peak!

Eight years later, National Day, see you again at Hengshan Peak!

On October 2nd, the sky was clear and the air was fresh. At around 8:00 am, we arrived at the Hengshan Tourist Center. After queuing for over an hour, we took the shuttle bus to Nantianmen. The driver of the Hengshan shuttle bus was like a car god from Mount Akina. The road was steep and winding, with the pedestrian path and the car lane constantly overlapping. The driver drove like a whirlwind, making the tourists' hearts jump and their heads spin. My wife couldn't bear it anymore and started vomiting after passing the Halfway Pavilion. So, we got off the bus and walked up the mountain. After passing Nantianmen and Shangfeng Temple, after more than an hour, at around 12:40, we finally reached Mount Zhurong again after eight years. Mount Zhurong in Nanyue is a popular destination for prayer and打卡 (checking in). The incense is strong and the crowds are large, but it's still acceptable. It's not as crowded as I imagined, and it's not so suffocating that you can't breathe. Eight years ago, in midsummer, we walked down from Mount Zhurong. We walked and stopped, checking in and enjoying the scenery along the way. The whole journey, from the mountaintop to the Victory Arch at the foot of the mountain, took about 7 hours. Today, eight years later, due to time constraints, we decided to walk halfway to the Halfway Pavilion and then take the bus down. We walked briskly and slowly, and it was much easier to go downhill. At around 15:40, we arrived at the Halfway Pavilion. There were not many tourists waiting for the bus at the Halfway Pavilion. We waited for more than half an hour, and the dispatched bus arrived. The whole journey was relatively smooth. Longtou Nanyue Temple, Longwei Zhurong Peak, eight years later, let's go again. I heard that after 17:00, those who are waiting for the bus at Nantianmen may have to wait for more than three hours. That's really a pain!
