#Yuhou Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Address:
Zhongshan East Street South Street (near Dongjie Street Bridge)
A three-day, two-night trip to Chenzhou
It takes six hours to drive from Zhuhai to Chenzhou.
We set off in the morning of the first day and arrived at three in the afternoon. Thinking of playing until evening before having dinner, but that's really not feasible❌ I suggest eating something upon arrival to have the energy to play, otherwise, you won't last through the night.
First day itinerary: 711 Mine➡️Wa Yao Ping➡️Yuhou Street at night. It must be the off-season because there were very few people, and we finished both attractions in half an hour each. After that, we rested at the hotel and ordered takeout of Bailutang pig-slaughtering rice noodles! Really good 7
Second day itinerary: Chenzhou Changjuan➡️Pangpo's Bound Duck at Xia Mei Bridge (delicious and spicy enough for Cantonese to enjoy)➡️Gao Yiling (followed the guide to the Farmer's Villa at Gao Yiling, the mountain road had many twists, but it only took 15min to reach the top, suitable for lazy people hehe)➡️Stayed at a hotel near Dongjiang Lake at night.
Third day itinerary: Dongjiang Lake (really couldn't get up early, started at nine, although there was no fog, it was still beautiful, bought route 2, after viewing the lake took a two and a half hour round trip boat ride, the boat stopped at a point where there was a cave kiln to visit, cool inside for about forty minutes) Dongjiang🐟 was also quite delicious➡️After lunch, headed back in the afternoon over.

Yuhou Street in Chenzhou
Yuhou Street in Chenzhou is located in the city center, with bus route 16 reaching the nearest point. Yuhou Street is the oldest existing ancient street in Chenzhou, a place with local characteristics, the birthplace of Chenzhou, and the central part of the original nine streets and eighteen lanes. The wharf, old bridge, and so on are all by the Chenjiang River. However, the entire street has been renovated and rebuilt, but the night scene still retains its local features.

Friends, is it really necessary to visit Chenzhou?
Chenzhou in Hunan, the 'Chen' of Chenzhou, is not a complicated character, but it is very easy to misrecognize. When placed together, maybe a few more people will recognize it, but if you take it out alone, nine out of ten people will be clueless. It's okay not to recognize it, but you must know that Chenzhou has many famous tourist attractions, such as Gaoyiling Tourist Area, Dongjiang Lake, Yangtian Lake Prairie, and Mangshan Wuzhifeng, among others. These attractions have their own unique features, and in short, Chenzhou is a charming tourist destination.
🚘 Transportation
✈️ Airplane: Chenzhou Beihu Airport. If not available, you can fly to Changsha and then take the high-speed train to Chenzhou.
🚄 High-speed train: Chenzhou West Station/Chenzhou Station, there are many trips from all over the country, which is quite convenient.
🌈 3-day 2-night travel itinerary
Day1: Yangtian Lake Prairie - Gaoyiling
Day2: Misty Xiaodongjiang - Bailang
Day3: Mangshan Wuzhifeng - Yuhou Street
Check-in spots
1️⃣ Misty Xiaodongjiang
The 12-kilometer-long Xiaodongjiang, with its clear and clean water💦 and fresh and pleasant air, allows the rhythm of water to penetrate the tunnel of time.
From April to October each year, whenever the sun rises or sets🌇, from the entrance of Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area to Dongjiang Dam, you can always see the magical 🌫 fog of Xiaodongjiang.
2️⃣ Yangtian Lake Prairie
Yangtian Lake Prairie has introduced a variety of cute pets such as alpacas🦆, Khaki Campbell ducks, black swans, and deer🦌. Feeding various small animals up close is definitely a memory worth cherishing forever during vacation time.
3️⃣ Gaoyiling
Mainly mountainous, with pleasant scenery and a forest coverage rate of 95%, it is an undeveloped Danxia landform virgin land.
The biggest feature is the Danxia landform surrounded by beautiful puddles, red rocks, and green waters🍀, dangerous fortresses, and strange streams, which are incredibly beautiful.
4️⃣ Mangshan Wuzhifeng
Located in Rongjiadong, Yizhang County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, it boasts the core essence of the Mangshan landscape with strange pines, rocks, and precipitous peaks. Cloud seas☁️ and waterfalls are everywhere you look.
5️⃣ Bailang
Locals call it the 'Little Erhai Lake,' an absolute king of free attractions! You can rent an electric scooter🛵 and cycle around the lake, which really feels like the Erhai Lake in Dali.
6️⃣ Yuhou Street
Every brick and tile here tells the historical vicissitudes and changes. The night view is super beautiful👀.
🏠 Accommodation recommendations
It is recommended to choose accommodation near Xiaodongjiang, so it is closer to each scenic area.

Chenzhou Travel Guide: The Ultimate Budget Travel Guide for College Students for a Two-Day, One-Night Trip!
Travel Section: Departing from Guangzhou Station, it only takes 1.5 hours by high-speed train to reach Chenzhou West Station, with ticket prices around 170+ yuan. If time and budget allow, you can also opt for the more nostalgic sleeper train, which takes longer (about 4.5 hours) but is more affordable and offers a closer look at local life. Upon disembarking at Chenzhou Station, you can immediately taste the authentic Yu Fen and Sha Zhu Fen, both delicious and economical. Since the attractions are quite far apart, it is recommended to book a ride-share through a legitimate platform. Although you may encounter drivers who charge extra, it is still generally economical.
Landscape and Food Exploration: The first recommended destination is Gaoyiling, known for its spectacular Danxia landform. The best time to visit is on a clear day, which will result in better photo outcomes. For ticket prices, students with valid IDs can enjoy a half-price discount at only 49 yuan; adults pay 96 yuan. The tour route includes the Stonehenge, the challenging Dengyun Ladder, cliff plank walkways, the Giant Lizard Lake resembling a green iguana, Dragon's Back, suspension bridges, and the Shouting Spring among many other unique landscapes. Remember to bring supplies, as goods are relatively expensive at the mountain top. In the evening, head to the freely accessible Yuhou Street, which, as the lights come on, feels like a 'Little Suzhou' in the Jiangnan water town style. Consider climbing the arch bridge for a panoramic view of Yuhou Street and try on various ethnic costumes for a photo shoot.
The next morning, be sure to visit the enchanting Dongjiang Lake, where the misty surface of the lake at this time creates a unique atmosphere. Depending on your schedule, you can choose different routes; student tickets are only 40 yuan. If you're on a tight schedule and can only experience Route One, it's still enough to enjoy the beauty of Xiao Dongjiang, watch the fisherman's net casting performance, take a leisurely boat ride, take commemorative photos, visit waterfalls, the hydroelectric station, and ride the thrilling 'over-mountain' sightseeing car. Additionally, the food by Dongjiang Lake is equally tempting, with local snacks like fried salmon, Qiao Mouth Fish, and desserts like Bing Fen and Ci Ba, all of which are not to be missed.
Accommodation Strategy: We chose a homestay in a villa area near Dongjiang Lake, which was quiet and elegant, surrounded by beautiful peach blossoms. The original price for the double room we booked was 88 yuan, but the considerate landlord upgraded us to a room equipped with a projector. Both the interior decoration and the facilities were very well-designed, clean, and new, making it an extremely cost-effective choice. It's worth mentioning that by sharing photos of the homestay on social media, you can even enjoy free electric bike rides.

The snow scenery in Hunan is simply a fairyland on earth! The Spring Festival travel check-in guide is here!
First of all, I have to say, the snow scenery in Chenzhou is really good-looking no matter how you take it! Although I was chasing the last snow scene, my circle of friends was blown up by my casual shots!
Although the snow has started to melt now, the scenery on the mountainside is already eye-catching enough! The snow scene on the top of the mountain should be more shocking!
This year, after watching the Spring Festival Gala, you can come here for a tour the next day! Foshan people have a unique love for mountain climbing and wading! I can't help but take a dozen photos when I see the beautiful scenery!
Photography tips:
1. iPhones can also take beautiful photos. Try using portrait mode and the rule of thirds to assist you in taking photos.
2. If you want to take a clean snow scene, don't expect it. However, you can try a low-angle upward shot, blur the pedestrians a bit, so that the feeling of a crowd is enough for the New Year.
3. It's also important to prepare some props, such as red clothes, candied haws, etc., these can add a lot of color to your photos. Prepare in advance or buy on the spot.
Food and drink tips:
1. After visiting the snow scene, you might as well go straight to Yuhou Street in Chenzhou. The night view there is really beautiful!
2. You can also try the experience and check-in of Zanhua clothing, the whole night market is full of New Year's flavor.
3. I highly recommend "San Yuan Small Stinky Tofu", "Nishang Tea Dance" and "Candied Haws", their food and drinks will definitely not disappoint you!
Come to Hunan to feel the charm of the snow scene!

Love is never blind, contentment knows the right degree
Yuhou Street. Located in Zhongshan East Street, Suxian District, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province. I heard from local friends that Yuhou Street used to be a night market, with some old buildings. In order to welcome the 2023 Hunan Provincial Tourism Development Conference, some renovations and constructions have been made. It is still in a rush to complete the project. The lights at night will make the buildings look better. There are not a few locals and tourists at night. All kinds of food stalls, barbecue, crayfish and so on, are good places for late-night snacks. In addition to indoors, outdoor seats are also set up. Despite the sultry weather at night, people still like to sit outdoors, drink beer and taste delicious food, full of the smell of life.
