Meijiang Geology Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
National Day recommendation: Hunan's Little Guilin - Loudi Lianyuan Meijiang Geological Park
➊Brief introduction of the scenic spot:
Meijiang is located in the northwest of Lianyuan City in the central part of Hunan, with a total area of 128 square kilometers. It is the only national geological park in the central part of Hunan, with 3 national geological relics, 20 provincial geological relics, and hundreds of other geological relics. The scale, types, and connotations of its karst geological relics are of national and even global significance. Meijiang combines beautiful scenery, wonders, and dangerous situations, with the characteristics of magic, grandeur, and beauty. Its scenery is picturesque and poetic, and it is praised by many leaders and experts as "the first show of Sanxiang", "the wonder of Chuxiang", and "China's Meijiang".
2️⃣Opening hours:
All year round, 09:00-17:00
3️⃣Geographical location:
Loudi Lianyuan Meijiang National Geological Park
4️⃣Play time:.
Half a day/one day, the scenic area is large and scattered. There are 5 tour routes and many experience projects.
5️⃣Ticket information: As shown in the picture above, buy tickets for small transportation in the scenic area.
We bought a set of tickets C for 78 yuan/person, went to see the glass plank road and the bridge in the painting, took the sightseeing car up the mountain at 2:30, climbed the mountain to the glass plank road, then climbed down the mountain to the bridge in the painting, climbed up and down to leave the scenic area at 4:50, walked 800m to Zhuyan Bridge, took the return bus from Meijiang to Lianyuan at 5:10, and arrived at Lianyuan Bus Station at 6:20.
6️⃣Transportation options:
1. Direct bus: Lianyuan Train Station - Lianyuan Bus Station (1.5 kilometers apart) - -Bus (Lianyuan- Meijiang 17 yuan/person, 45 kilometers.)
2. Taxi: Lianyuan - Meijiang 45 kilometers, about 100 yuan.
7️⃣Pit avoidance guide:
Be careful of local drivers who just pick you up at Lianyuan Station and say they don't use the meter to terminate the trip, saying that the platform deducts fees and directly cash transactions, and then only drive about 30 kilometers to take you to a ticket scalper, saying that the mountain guide fee is 50 yuan/person and you don't need to buy a ticket. Fake fake fake! Never compromise, you must let the driver drive to the Meijiang Geological Park Scenic Area Visitor Center!
Meijiangdizhi Museum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Underrated tourist attractions around Changsha|Meijiang National Geological Park
|Meijiang National Geological Park.📌 Navigation: Meijiang Geological Museum
It's a 2-hour drive from Changsha🚗
——
I was really amazed by this place! I had heard that camping enthusiasts come here for camping, but I had never been here before. During the National Day holiday, we were driving back to Changsha from Xiangxi, so we decided to come. The scenery started to amaze people before reaching the scenic area.
——
The scenic area is really large, there are free electric cars to shuttle between the attractions, but we did not go to all the attractions this time, we will come again next time.
——
If you only have one day, you can park your car at the museum, walk to the Meijiang Geological Museum-Xianrenfu/Xianglushan-Dajiangkou-Lanyue Ancient Trail/Boat, and then return to the museum to drive away.
——
The Meijiang Geological Museum is a good place, but if you don't bring children, it's not recommended. Compared with the museum in Changsha, it's average here.
——
Xianrenfu is a large cave, there is a small waterfall inside, but it seems to be a dry season when we went, and only a few streams of water came down. It must be cool here in summer. Going up, you can see Xianren Bridge, a three-hole natural bridge of hydrochloric acid salt rock, which is amazing. Xianglushan is nearby, but we didn't go.
——
The Lanyue Ancient Trail is a glass plank road built on the edge of a cliff, highly recommended (people with fear of heights may be a bit scared). Of course, you need to climb the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The whole journey takes about two to three hours. If you only want to walk to the glass bridge and then return the same way, the journey will be less (about 30 minutes, depending on the speed). If you continue to go down the mountain, it will take about another two hours. Next time we plan to walk the whole journey and share the experience at that time.
——
You can also take a boat tour at Dajiangkou, 40 yuan per person, about half an hour. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful. People who don't want to climb mountains can choose this, which is more relaxed and happy.
——
People who like natural scenery can arrange it on weekends! It's different from the scenery in Changsha. After coming back, I was full of motivation and planned to choose a sunny day to come again next time.
