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.

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👀.

📝 Small tips
1. For those who want to watch the Dongjiang Lake fishermen casting nets, the second viewing platform is the best spot.
2. Mangshan Wuzhifeng Scenic Area is located at the east gate, while Mangshan Forest Park is at the west gate, do not confuse them.
3. Be sure to check the weather forecast before departure, and plan your itinerary and clothing accordingly.
4. The road conditions in Yangtian Lake Prairie are not very good, so drivers should go slowly.
The fairy air of the East River and Lake is floating, the lake is green and green, and the fisherman on the lake needs to do a guide in advance. It is a pity that I didn't wait to see it there, but it is worth visiting. Other related attractions have plenty of time to visit the caves on the island, and they have a special flavor. Eating can be compared with the price of Meituan, and the price of eating in the scenic spot is still very expensive.
The scenery is great, it is worth a visit, but if the weather is bad, it is recommended to change the time to go better, afraid that you can not see the scenery you want, every day is a regular performance of the fisherman cast nets, the artistic conception is beautiful! Although the season is not very foggy, it is still beautiful!
Xiaodongjiang is still good, the scenery is also very good, these days you can see the foggy Xiaodongjiang, but other attractions are average. I went to the Bailang to swim the boat, so I didn't swim in it. The dam didn't go to see it.
The scenic spot can enter the park by swiping the ID card, which is very convenient. There is a sightseeing bus to the platform of 1-4 to watch the net show, or you can take the boat directly to the Dongjiang Dam (sightseeing bus terminal) to go to the sightseeing cave of Duofei Island. The cave and the staff explain it for free. Then go to the Longjing Canyon Grand Ring Line or the small ring line to climb the mountain to see the waterfall. In the morning, the morning mist is suitable for playing in order, and in the afternoon, the park is suitable for upside down (cruise boat-cany- platform to see the net).
The river view is beautiful, and the fog view is also beautiful. It is a pity not to climb the mountain behind it. It is not as difficult as expected to go up and down. Comrades, let's go. What grilled fish is really worth tasting. It is half the price on the main street to buy it at a little bit.
Some scenery is suitable for viewing but it is difficult to take pictures of the feeling, but Dongjiang Lake is an exception, and you can take surprises everywhere. Playing 2 or 3 hours is enough, in fact, you don't need to live nearby, because the commercialization is strong, and it is far from several classic scenic spots and ancient villages. It depends on personal preference!
The foggy Xiaodongjiang is really beautiful, the water and the sky are the same color, it is worthy of the landscape picture, you can visit the Dongjiang and then go to Duofei Island, and the canyon waterfall did not see it, but unfortunately arranged something else, otherwise you can still play all day.
Dongjiang Lake is very beautiful, the air is particularly good, the water quality is particularly clear, it is worth having fun. On the boating lake, taste the fish fresh, enjoy a leisurely and comfortable life, and enjoy the beautiful life given to us by nature.
