    I visited Yueyang Tower several decades ago when I was in college. Now retired, I returned this spring and recited, "It embraces distant mountains, swallows the Yangtze River, vast and boundless," which was still very pleasant. Senior citizen tickets have improved the cost-effectiveness of sightseeing for seniors!

    The park is very clean, with relatively few people, and the security guards are very responsible in reminding visitors not to make noise. The pandas are all very cute, and the park is well-designed, offering many angles to view the pandas without disturbing them too much.

    On Junshan Island, encounter the purest joy and healing. There is no urban hustle and bustle, only the gentle lapping of the lake against the shore, the rustling of the wind through the bamboo grove, and the tranquility of birdsong echoing through the mountains. Stroll through the tea gardens, your fingertips brushing against the dew-kissed tea buds, the aroma permeating your senses; sit or lie by the lake, watching the clouds drift by, listening to the evening songs of the fishing boats, all your worries drift away with the waves. Time moves slowly here, slow enough to count the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, slow enough to savor a cup of Junshan Silver Needle tea – a perfect sanctuary for the soul.

    Climb the tower to gaze at the lake, and enjoy the tranquility of Zen music! A Half-Day Retreat at Yueyang Sheng'an Temple This ancient temple, nestled atop Dagui Mountain, never disappoints. The moment you step through the gates, the melodious sound of the Great Compassion Mantra and the lingering aroma of sandalwood incense fill the air, instantly shutting out the hustle and bustle of the world. Built in the Tang Dynasty, this magnificent temple boasts towering eaves and steeply angled halls nestled against the mountainside. From the Five-Gate Gate, modeled after the memorial archway of the Buddhist Incense Pavilion in the Summer Palace, to the Main Hall with its carved beams and painted rafters, every detail exudes a solemn and ancient elegance.

    Watching the sunset on Dongting Lake is very beautiful. Yueyang is a small city. The biggest highlight for tourists is this lake. Looking at the green mountains and waters of Dongting Lake from afar, the scenery is still good. I didn’t take a cruise when I went there. One reason was that I didn’t want to spend money. The other reason was that I thought it was enough to watch the scenery by the lake. There was no need to spend money to go on the lake. But of course, this depends on personal preference.

    Zhangguying Village in Hunan is not so commercialized. It has a group of Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings. You can walk freely between the houses without getting wet in the rain, and feel the historical weight of Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings. Walking slowly along the corridor beside the river, it seems like traveling through time. There are still many homestays in the scenic area, which is very convenient for eating and staying. The folk customs are simple, and the old man and the old woman in the restaurant burn firewood and cook with a stove, which has a rural flavor.

    The park is backed by the green hills of Yuqi, the umbilical cord water, the vanilla lake water is open, the umbilical cord of Jianzhou, the lotus leaves of Shilan Island are weaved, and the natural landscape is very beautiful. There are historical relics such as Quyuan Stele Forest and Quzi Academy, which can make people feel the patriotic feelings and literary talents of the great poet Qu Yuan, and can also participate in folk activities such as making dumplings, learning dragon boat knowledge and experiencing the charm of traditional culture. Ticket prices are moderate, but some consumer items in the scenic area are too high. The highlight is that it has a wealth of historical and cultural relics, such as Qu Zixuan and Quzi College, which can allow tourists to understand Quyuan culture and Chu culture in depth.
