Fanjing Mountain: The magnificent epic between the heavens and the earth This holy mountain, which has been stamped by UNESCO as an "oasis of the earth", redefines the dimensions of the mountain landscape with a double pilgrimage of vision and soul. Its value far exceeds the commercial narrative of ordinary scenic spots, but the double gift of geological wonders and ecological legends - the vertical fission of the Red Cloud Golden Dome is a masterpiece of sculpture by the creator, and the eerie balance of the mushroom stone group breaks the imagination of the laws of physics. The 1.4 billion-year-old rock profile is like a cryptographic scroll that opens the earth's memory. As the last refuge of the world's endangered species, the earth's only son, the golden monkey, the existence of Fanjing Mountain is itself an apocalypse of ecological civilization. In the cultural dimension, it achieves the perfect symbiosis of natural worship and humanistic faith: the millennium incense of Maitreya Dojo is nirvana in the sea of clouds, and worshippers on the 8,000-level stone steps share the same virgin forest with the golden monkey under the eucalyptus tree. When the morning bell and dusk penetrated the veins of the remains of the Quaternary glacier, and when the comment "ecological island" of the World Heritage List overlapped with the "other shore" of the Buddhist scriptures, Fanjing Mountain was sublimated into a three-dimensional oriental philosophy classic. Its tour experience is a carefully designed immersive theater - the cableway through the sea of clouds is a prelude, climbing the golden top is a climax, and meeting the Buddha light and rainbow is the pen of God. Each arrival will be given a triple awakening: awe of the origin of life begins in moss-covered archaeological rocks, a thought about the nature of civilization emerges from the incense of the Zen Temple flybridge, and the recognition of human position ends with the amber pupils of the golden monkey staring at the beings. This is not an unusual landscape sightseeing, but a symphony of heaven and earth that makes geographers tremble, philosophers ponder, artists mad, and complete the ultimate interpretation of life's humility and natural greatness at 2,572 meters above sea level. **Value anchor:** - World Natural Heritage × Cross-border integration of Buddhist famous mountains - Ecological Temple of the world's only golden monkey habitat - The best preserved virgin forest of the Earth's same latitude - Geological textbooks composed of Mesozoic metamorphic rock groups - Oriental "City of the Sky" The Divine Deconstruction of Architectural Aesthetics This realm, the word "attraction" can carry, is really a harmonious song of civilization and wilderness, in Yunxuan write the ultimate model of human and natural relations.
I went to the ancient city of Zhenyuan first, and then came to Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area. The scenery of the scenic spot is very good and it is a place worth visiting. Next time I have the opportunity to bring my family to play together. The elderly are free of tickets, and after applying for a refund, they will arrive in a week.

This five-day secret journey kicked off on April 22. After arriving in Yichang by high-speed rail, tourists followed the blue waves of the Qingjiang River Gallery into the heart of Enshi. When the VIPs on the special train entered the Yunlong Ground Crack Scenic Area, it was spring, with waterfalls pouring down into the deep valley, and moss marks on the rock walls and ferns interweaving into emerald curtains.
Booked a room to watch the fireworks. You need a room with a superior harbour view or above to see the fireworks. In the end, I stayed in a superior harbour view suite with club benefits. The room view is very dreamy, exactly the same as the official picture. The hotel informed us in advance that there would be a parade on the first night of the Chinese New Year and a fireworks display on the second night of the Chinese New Year, and the roads around the hotel would be closed. They suggested that we arrive in advance. Very considerate. Because the room view is very good and there are a lot of drinks, the club is also very convenient and delicious. The children did not play around but liked to stay in the room to play cards, chat and read... We spent two very relaxing and pleasant days, and it felt like a vacation.

Tourist attraction, but a lovely little town. A mix of the old buildings and modern bars. Lots of people in the evening, in the morning — calm
Phoenix Ancient City, an ancient town with a history of more than 300 years, the ancient city of Phoenix is not only beautiful scenery, but also has a deep cultural heritage. Shen Congwen's former residence is hidden in this ancient city, entering the former residence, as if he can touch the romantic and warm world in his pen, deeply understand the unique charm of Xiangxi culture.

Shennongjia is known as the "roof of central China", with its primeval forests and alpine wetland wonders, and the legend of wild men adds to its mystery. It is a place with diverse biodiversity and beautiful scenery in all four seasons. It is an ecological treasure and a summer resort, and a model of world natural heritage.
Shennongjia is still worth a visit. The negative oxygen ions in the mountains are very high, and it is very comfortable to breathe. You can drive along the way and stop and go. The scenic area is very large, and food and accommodation are very convenient. The price is reasonable. You can play for at least two or three days.

The first time I went to Xiangxi to play, I didn’t expect that there was such a stunning and beautiful place. The night view was as charming as a dream. When I passed the waterfall, I was very excited. Next time I go to Zhangjiajie to play, I must go again.
Must Visit Attractions around Zhangjiajie. Should spend at least half a day to roam around the town and enjoy classic ancient Chinese vibes, try the snacks they sell in the town (Highly recommended). Wait till the evening to watch the transition from the bright Sky to bright Town. (Night Lighting is Great). They also have some traditional Chinese dance and singing shows in the evening. This place is good for both Solo Travellers and Families.

It’s really fun. You can choose to walk in on foot. The experience is stronger. You can make movies everywhere. It’s a worthwhile trip, but it’s still recommended that you travel by car. There are some distances and you need to drive to go up. It’s much more convenient to drive.
It’s so beautiful. It just rained when I went. There is a feeling of a dark forest. It’s really beautiful. I thought it would be bad when it rained. I didn’t expect it to be very good. Although there are many people to avoid lightning, I think I still have to go with people who are not disappointed. It’s a very good trip.

We invite you to enter the scenic area of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha to enjoy the beautiful scenery intertwined with nature and humanities. This is the 72nd peak of Nanyue, integrating "mountain, water, continent and city", with a forest coverage rate of 96%, ancient trees towering, maple fragrance overflowing, and all seasons are beautiful. The Yunyan Dao Palace in the foothills precipitates the mystery and detachment of the Taoist family; the ancient Lushan Temple on the mountainside, the Fanyin Temple, witness the source of Huxiang Buddhism; the Yuelu Academy at the foot of the mountain, "only Chu has materials, Yu Siweisheng", nurtures countless Huxiang talents, and exudes the deep heritage of Confucian culture. Ai Wanting was named after Du Mu's poem, and it was overlooked here. It was a panoramic view of Xiangjiang North and Changsha City Guo. There are both Han Changli's tracks here, and Li Yan's "Lushan Temple Stele" and other cultural treasures. Today, the scenic spot service is high-quality and warmly treated. Come to Yuelu Mountain, enjoy the green shadows and the red maple, explore the millennium of the veins, find the habitat of the soul in the nourishment of the mountains and rivers and humanities, and harvest an unforgettable cultural journey.
Tour guide Xiao Zhang contacted us by phone one day in advance and set off on time at the agreed location. In the morning, there were many tourists and study tour groups at Yuelu Academy, so we tried to find a quiet location to explain in detail. In the afternoon, we took us to find the best angle to take pictures at Juzizhou, and the recommended snack street on Lushan South Road was full of economical and affordable specialty shops.

Originally came to Yichang to run horses, came one day in advance and took the family to play two dams and one gorge. The whole trip was full of a whole day, reflecting the Gezhouba ship lock, Xilingxia scenery and the Three Gorges Dam. The tour guide Xiaohong also explained very seriously!
The itinerary is very good, the tour guide Fan Li is also very professional and patient! I also learned a lot of knowledge! A full trip! The little guys also like the tour guide aunt! I will have the opportunity to travel to other places in Yichang in the future!
