jointh songGaoyiling, a place whose true beauty speaks for itself! I dare say, once you've seen it, the magnificent panorama of red cliffs, emerald waters, and crimson clouds will undoubtedly become the most stunning cover image in your phone's photo album. This isn't the gentle water towns of Jiangnan, but a wonderland where the ruggedness and colors of the earth are magnified infinitely. Walking along the "Dragon's Backbone," with bare, continuous mountain ridges beneath your feet and steep cliffs and emerald lakes on either side, every step feels like strolling on clouds, your heart pounding with the breathtaking scenery. The steps of the Sky Ladder may be physically demanding, but as you conquer them, the breathtaking panorama before you instantly washes away all fatigue. The suspended walkway (if open) offers an exceptional vantage point, allowing you to embrace this masterpiece of nature from every angle. It's also worth mentioning that the experiences offered here are quite abundant. Whether you're looking for thrills like Via Ferrata climbing and ziplining, or a more leisurely experience with the cliff swing and cloud mirror viewing platform, there's something for everyone. I personally tried the ziplining; the speed and exhilaration of plunging down from the heights, combined with the breathtaking mountain scenery, are definitely worth the experience! The only downside might be the intense sun! The entire scenic area offers virtually no shade, so sun protection is essential. Hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing are indispensable, and it's best to avoid the midday sun. Overall, Gaoyiling is the kind of top-tier geological wonder you absolutely can't miss if you're already there. It may not have many recreational facilities, but its pristine, wild, and magnificent beauty is enough to let you feel the purest power of nature. I highly recommend it to all nature lovers, hikers, and photographers. Trust me, it will become one of the most unforgettable spots on your trip.

Rosbin_It was a pretty good experience, not as tiring as Gaoyiling. There's a sightseeing bus to the top, and you can hike the rest of the way on your own. However, many of the routes are dead ends, meaning you have to backtrack, and the options for avoiding backtracking are very limited. I hope the scenic area can further develop its infrastructure, even if it means raising the ticket price.

Anonymous userAll the scenic spots in Chenzhou are great, with beautiful natural landscapes and delicious Hunan cuisine. The Dongjiang fish, braised chicken, and blood duck are all excellent. Thanks to A-Jie from Dongya Apartment for helping us plan our itinerary and book discounted tickets for the scenic spots, which saved us time and money. We will definitely stay at Dongya Apartment again next time we come to Chenzhou!

At an altitude of 1314 meters, the Yangtianhu Grassland boasts lush green grass carpeting the mountainsides, crystal-clear lake reflecting pristine white windmills, and a gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees—instantly soothing all fatigue. The Hobbit-style cottages exude a fairytale charm, while the adorable deer in the petting zoo are gentle and friendly. A stroll through the meadow yields countless beautiful photos. With an average summer temperature of 20°C, it's pleasantly cool. Camping at night offers the chance to encounter a sky full of stars, providing unparalleled tranquility away from the city's hustle and bustle. Perfect for quiet solitude or simply relaxing and breathing in the fresh air.
4.5/5Anonymous userThe total cost for the ticket, sightseeing bus, cable car, and two-story elevator is 330 yuan. Although it's not cheap, it allows for an easy climb. The route is clear and well-planned, and the facilities are complete, making it all worth the price.
4.4/5Anonymous userFriendly reminder: Remember to buy tickets for the shuttle bus up and down the mountain! Don't force yourself to endure the hardship! It's a great deal at 88 yuan! The road up the mountain isn't particularly scenic; it's mostly a winding, narrow road. It requires sincere prayers to climb; the incense is very strong and believed to be very efficacious. However, for someone like me who just wants to enjoy the scenery, other mountains or other places in Hengyang would be more worthwhile.

兹博尔维卡艾丽西娅Tickets are issued quickly! No need to queue at the scenic area, great! ✌🏻 No need to worry about paper tickets from guidebooks, just use your ID card with a QR code for the first entry, and facial recognition for the second. Danxia Mountain has beautiful scenery. If you need to buy more tickets, separate tickets offer the same discount. The scenic area also recommends package tickets that include both entry and exit. If you want to break up your itinerary, just talk to the scenic area.

201***18I'd heard about the unique scenery of the Lianzhou Underground River for a long time, but never got around to visiting. This time, I finally made it, and I was incredibly excited. It was a two-day trip. On the second day, we set off early from Liannan and arrived at the first parking lot of the Lianzhou Underground River Scenic Area in half an hour—the closest one to the entrance. We climbed the steps, walked a few hundred meters, and then went downhill, passing a row of quaint shops, until we reached the ticket booth. The scenic area was very welcoming; seniors over 70 could get free tickets with their ID cards. Adult tickets were 120 yuan, including a boat ride and guided tour. You can book online a day in advance for a discount of over ten yuan, which is also a good deal. After passing through the ticket booth, we soon arrived at the cave entrance. Wow! What a huge underground cave entrance! I've never seen anything so enormous; it was truly awe-inspiring. Entering the cave, looking down, the bottom was incredibly deep, almost like an endless abyss. We walked up the steps for a while before reaching the meeting point. The scenic area had arranged guides, and they only proceeded when there were at least twelve people in each group. We were lucky; everyone arrived right away. Following the guide, we walked along the winding, undulating cave system. Although many of the rock formations didn't quite match the guide's descriptions, and some were even a bit off, appreciating the spectacular karst landscape was still quite enjoyable. After walking 1.8 kilometers, I was honestly a bit tired before reaching the boat dock. Looking up from the bottom of the cave offered another perspective of the lava scenery. Once ashore, we saw a large, impressive array of wine jars scattered at varying heights. After exiting the cave, you can either take a magic carpet ride for 20 yuan or walk up for a few minutes. Parking cost 10 yuan, concluding our pleasant two-hour trip.
