Mausoleum of Emperor Yan, located in Yanling County, Zhuzhou, is the resting place of Emperor Yan Shennong, one of the ancestral founders of the Chinese nation. The site features towering ancient trees and picturesque scenery. For thousands of years, sacrificial ceremonies before the mausoleum have endured without decline, with offerings and incense continuing year-round. The attraction includes key sites such as the Emperor Yan Mausoleum Hall, Imperial Stele Garden, Huangshan Stele Forest, Angel Mansion, Sacred Fire Altar, Shennong Grand Hall, Pilgrimage Square, Shengde Forest, Emperor Yan Mausoleum Archway, Chongde Archway, Luyuan Slope, Dragon Brain Stone, Dragon Claw Stone, and Herb-Washing Pool—all aligned along a north-south central axis. The Emperor Yan Mausoleum Hall, situated at the western foot of Yanling Mountain (also known as Huangshan), serves as the main attraction. The grand hall, with its golden tiles and red walls, showcases distinct Qing-style architecture, exuding solemnity and grandeur. Passing through the Noon Gate, Ceremony Pavilion, Mausoleum Hall, and Tombstone Pavilion leads to Emperor Yan's tomb mound. The tombstone, inscribed in 1827 by County Magistrate Shen Daokuan during the Qing Dynasty, stands before the lush, grassy mound surrounded by flourishing flowers and trees. As one of the ancestral founders of the Chinese nation, Emperor Yan has been revered and honored by emperors and commoners alike since ancient times. Legends trace folk worship of Emperor Yan back to the Xia Dynasty, official ceremonies to the Zhou Dynasty, and imperial rituals to the Tang Dynasty, flourishing further in the Song Dynasty. Subsequent emperors followed the tradition of "holding ceremonies every three years," commemorating each event with inscribed steles. In addition to the admission ticket, offerings such as incense, firecrackers, and auspicious fruits for worshiping Emperor Yan require separate fees.

Asia's Number One Oxygen Bar — Zhulián Waterfall The waterfall falls from a height of 48.2 meters, resembling a curtain made of water droplets. Hence, it is named Zhulián Waterfall in Shennong Valley National Forest Park, Yanling County, Hunan Province. During the fall, water molecules collide with rocks creating a large number of negative oxygen ions. According to expert measurements, the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air around Zhulián Waterfall in Shennong Valley National Forest Park, Yanling County, Hunan Province, reaches as high as 136,426 per cubic centimeter, with an instantaneous peak of up to 228,000 per cubic centimeter. It is one of the places in Asia with very high negative oxygen ion levels and is thus praised as "Asia's Number One Oxygen Bar." Reef Forest The Reef Forest is a famous concentrated area of dawn redwoods in Shennong Valley National Forest Park and a new popular check-in spot. Here, you can find lush expanses of bamboo groves, water redwoods that turn colorful in autumn, and ancient yew trees. The forest is rarely visited by people and is the core forest resource of the scenic area. Tree Embracing Stone A giant Albizia tree (also known as young chestnut) has been determined by experts to be over 1,500 years old, with a height of 19 meters and a trunk diameter of 2.01 meters. It is named Tree Embracing Stone because its main roots tightly wrap around a huge rock. At the base of this ancient tree, two equally-sized offspring trees grow side by side, soaring straight to the sky, which is why locals also call it "Dragon Mother Giving Birth to Twins." Tianxinli Scenic Area Hunan's tallest waterfall — Shennong Flying Waterfall — is one of the most spectacular and inspiring waterfalls among several in Shennong Valley National Forest Park. The waterfall has a height difference of 235.2 meters, cascading down in three tiers. Amid blue skies, green mountains, and trees, it looks like a white silk ribbon floating in the air or a cloud dragon diving into the pool. It is the waterfall with the largest drop in Hunan Province.

Transportation is quite convenient. Just walk a few hundred meters from Yanling Station and you can catch a special bus for only 5 yuan. There are many buses, and the journey usually takes about half an hour. Most of the buildings in the Yandi Mausoleum are quite new, but as one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, it seems that many emperors throughout history have come to worship here, and in recent years, many provincial governors have also come to worship here.

For children, it is worth a visit. There are many fun places and various ways of playing. It is worth a visit during the summer vacation. You can learn a lot of knowledge. The service attitude is very good. You will answer any questions you have. The food is too expensive.

I checked the weather forecast and it was not very hot when I went there. It rained lightly in the morning and cleared up in the afternoon. You can play both outdoor and indoor activities. There were not many people and no groups, so basically you don't need to queue. I also rode horses, saw small animals, rode the Ferris wheel, and checked in for several experience projects. The children were 7 and 12 years old and they all had a lot of fun. It is a parent-child park worth recommending. Two adults and two children bought a parent-child ticket plus an adult ticket.

The museum's exterior is great for taking photos, and the parking lot is convenient. It showcases the glorious history of Liling ceramics, and the handicrafts are exquisite and beautiful. Some of these items were even presented as gifts by foreign leaders to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse during their visits to my country!

Zhuzhou Fantawild Happy World's Dream Kingdom is fun and highly recommended, offering excellent value for money and a wide variety of attractions, including Nezha's Conquest of the Sea, Qin Tomb Exploration, Colorful China, Magic World, Five Thousand Years of China, and Havoc in Heaven. These attractions are all indoors, with ample air conditioning. The VR experience is realistic and stunning, and the stage settings create an immersive experience. "A Thousand Years of Butterfly Love" and "Water Flooding Jinshan" are both live-action stage plays that are truly captivating. The final scene of "Water Flooding Jinshan" is particularly captivating, with the water curtain cascading down like a waterfall. If the auditorium weren't covered by a canopy, the water curtain would have torn us apart and left us soaked. The rumbling sound of the water mixed with the exclamations of the crowd had us tiptoeing and craning our necks, desperately trying to take in the scenes. It was truly awe-inspiring! Besides these, there's also an outdoor water park with family-friendly activities, including water rafting and canyon crossings. We tried them twice, and the huge splashes created by the plunging water created rainbows in the sunlight. The summer heat was instantly washed away by the current, leaving only cheers and screams... Best of all, since it wasn't a holiday, there were few people and no lines, making the experience absolutely amazing!

I have been to Jiubujiang Scenic Area many times. The air there is good. Jiuxian Lake is surrounded by towering mountains, lush forests, and green all year round. The lake is rich in aquatic products, with many fish and delicious taste. Jiuxian Lake is named after the legendary Jiuxian. It is a 4A national scenic area and a national water conservancy scenic area. There are national wetland parks and Younu Fairyland in the scenic area. Baoning Temple, Pijia Cave, Bailong Cave and other important attractions. The lake area is rippling with blue waves. Taking pictures of the scenic area with your mobile phone is like a modern version of the prosperous Qingming picture. Jiubujiang Geopark is a large-scale comprehensive national geological park that integrates geological relics such as caves, underground rivers, natural bridges, canyons, waterfalls, lakes, etc., and combines beauty and scientific value. It is worth visiting and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

The natural scenery is very good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it is quiet and peaceful. It is a bit regrettable that there are too few projects that allow tourists to interact and experience, and the excavation and promotion of the classic historical culture and legends are not enough. If these aspects are improved, the value of these tourism resources will be greater

Very good architectural style. Although it costs a little to climb up, I can see the beautiful architecture and exquisite decorations. The Bodhisattva has remained unchanged for 400 years and must be a god, hahaha!

株洲出差,城际先锋至田心东站,办事完毕后去株洲博物馆参观。建筑有点庞大,像个八爪鱼趴在地上,触角延伸出去,布展还行,周边打车等待太久,后来干脆乘公交车去火车站。
