Yongzhou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Yunbing Mountain Tourism Sceneic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Visiting the rime in Yongzhou, it was really tiring this time!
From Guangzhou to Yongzhou to see the rime, it was really tiring this time!
We went with a group by coach (118r+ticket 40), 7:40 from Zhujiang New Town to Hunan Yongzhou (which is the border of Guangdong Province), about four hours (not counting traffic jams), arrived around 12:30~ The journey is very far, it is recommended to prepare some food on the bus (there is hot water on the mountain to make ginger tea 10r a small cup is not recommended to buy, grilled sausage 5r). It is recommended to bring your own water cup, if you are not physically strong, you can bring a climbing stick. 💦🏞️
My friend and I both felt that it was not cold on the mountain, just that the wind was very strong, because the slope was very steep and there were no stairs. It is recommended to wear a quick-drying shirt + windproof inside, my thermal clothes were all wet on the mountain 😅 My friend was also so hot that he didn't want to wear a hat. Because the slope is very steep, if you walk, your body is always heating up, but it is recommended to pay attention to keeping warm when you go, the wind is strong and it is easy to get headaches and colds~ 🌬️❄️
The scenic area is divided into four sections by individuals. The first section is from getting off the bus to the entrance of the scenic area (Yunbing Mountain Scenic Area). My friend and I walked for more than 20 minutes, which is considered fast. When I got there, I found the team leader and got the tickets. The tickets must be kept well and not lost, because the second section will check the tickets for the second time. 🎟️🚶
The second section is from the entrance of the scenic area to the first rest area (very far, the whole journey is 5km, it is not easy to walk, the slope is very difficult to walk!! It is harder to climb than Baiyun Mountain). At this time, you can see some snow and rime, but it is recommended not to stay for too long, because the scenery on the top of the mountain is better and the snow is cleaner! ❄️🏞️
The third section is next to a big sign saying that you can post on Moments in 3km. This is the third section, you must wear ice claws, the road is slippery and there is melting snow (recommended to buy on pdd, the scenic area 20/pair quality is not very good, my friend's is rotten, although the quality of pdd is not much better, but it is cheap haha). You can also pick it up on the mountain, but I personally do not recommend it, because the claws worn by others are not sharp, and you may still slip. It is also recommended to walk in the middle, because there are many ice or snow blocks on the side, which is a bit dangerous. 🚶♂️❄️
The fourth section is from the mountain to the place where you can "step on two provinces" with 520 stairs. When I went up, it was all ice, and I didn't even see these words haha, but I still went up with the belief that I had come all the way, and it was exhausting. Those who are not physically strong can take a motorcycle up the mountain, we are 40/two people. 🏔️🏃♂️
It seems that the scenic area does not allow black cars, also for safety reasons, you can also refer to it. The scenery on the mountain is really beautiful, but it's too tiring, I won't come again 😅🏞️
Yunbing Mountain Scenic Area spans across two provinces
Children from the south have an endless love for snowfall, and the rime of Yunbing Mountain Scenic Area is truly astonishing, so beautiful.
Yunbing Mountain is located at the junction of Guangdong Province and Hunan Province. The rime seen in winter is truly beautiful. The entire mountain peak is 1314 meters above sea level. When approaching the top of the mountain, you need to climb 520 steps. It's so romantic. And we were particularly lucky that the day we went was a sunny day. We could see the rime all over the mountains. The snow scene really shocked the southerners, and we were extremely happy.
When climbing, you have to wear ice claws, otherwise it's really too slippery. It's really super cold on the top of the mountain in winter and the wind speed is really high. When climbing the stairs, it feels like people are being blown up. It's really cold on the top of the mountain, but when you look down from the top of the mountain, it's really beautiful. Southerners have an endless love for snowfall.
No need to go far to the south, the little potato bravely explores the snow town in the south
Let's cut the crap and get straight to the guide, preparation before departure:
1️⃣ Understand the weather
Look at the rime and ice hangings on the astronomical pass, especially the rapid drop in temperature and below 0 degrees Celsius ⬇️⬇️ ❄ and the display of snow are all stable ❄️
.
2️⃣ Book a homestay
There are at the foot and top of the mountain 🏔️ in the Yunbing Mountain 🛖 scenic area, the price is over a thousand, book 1-2 weeks in advance, if you think it's expensive, you can live outside the scenic area, but the homestay in the scenic area allows guests 🚗 cars to drive in, which is convenient for the visitor center, while the parking lot outside the scenic area is 1 kilometer away from the entrance, a 20-minute walk is deadly steep
.
3️⃣ Time control
When it snows ❄️ the shuttle bus in Yunbing Mountain stops running 🚗 the whole family is hiking 🧗♀️ the total length is 5 kilometers, the ice and snow road is extremely difficult to walk, if you want to climb to the top to go to the landmark of one foot across two provinces, please reserve 6.6 hours, because playing and stopping, taking pictures, resting at the service area all take time ⛰️ it starts to get dark at 5:30 in the afternoon
.
3️⃣ Must check-in locations
❄️ 520 steps - 1314 meters above sea level is simply too romantic‼️
❄️ The iron rope bridge on the left 👈🏻🌁 of the handrail staircase
❄️ The popular photo spot of one foot across two provinces 📷
.
📍Address: At the junction of Yunbing Mountain Scenic Area in Lianshan County, Yongzhou, Hunan and Lianzhou City, Guangdong, search for Yunbing Mountain
Harbin, Guangdong, it's holiday time, so come to Yunbing Mountain to see the snow
❄ Recently, 'Harbin' has been hotly discussed, but many children in the south are too far away, what to do? Don't just focus on Harbin ⛄, come to Yunbing Mountain in the south 👏
🏔 Yunbing Mountain is a snow-watching spot at the border of Guangdong and Hunan. I have also checked the weather for everyone in advance. This month, Yunbing Mountain has strong cold air, climbing, hiking, 🌨 watching snow, rime, ice hanging, windmills are not few, hurry up and arrange to set off this month‼
📍Location: Yunbing Mountain Tourist Area (at the junction of Xifengling, Lianshan County, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province and Lanshan County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province)
🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself, about 4h from Guangzhou
🏔 Yunbing Mountain attractions:
✅ 520-step climbing plank road: you can see the endless sea of clouds after climbing
✅ One foot across two provinces monument: the junction of Hunan and Guangdong
✅ Cloud Sea Fairyland Windmill & Ice Hanging Mountain Top Suspension Bridge: The scenery is very beautiful, you can take pictures and check in
✅ Cloud Top Coffee House: Have a warm cup of coffee on the top of the mountain
⭕ Travel guide / tips:
✅ Tickets 45-79, scenic area time: 8:00-17:00, you can't enter after 17:00
✅ Must! Must! Check the weather forecast in advance, the lower the temperature, the more beautiful the scenery
✅ The road is easy to walk, not difficult; first climb to the top, then check in and take pictures when you go down the mountain!

The ancient city of Lingling in Yongzhou, which is rich in cultural temperament
Yongzhou, a prefecture-level city in southern Hunan, is elegantly named 'Xiaoxiang' because the two rivers of Xiao and Xiang converge here. The ancient city of Lingling has a history of more than 2,000 years. Just these place names are full of poetic and picturesque feelings. With the blessing of literati and ink guests from all dynasties, it is the hometown of historical figures such as the Three Kingdoms general Huang Gai, the 'Grass Saint' Tang Dynasty calligrapher Huai Su, the Dali scholar Zhou Dunyi, and modern leaders Li Da, Tao Zhu, etc. It can be said that all rivers and mountains are articles, and the heavy cultural atmosphere is coming. The most important thing is that Liu Zongyuan, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, was demoted to Yongzhou for ten years and wrote famous poems such as 'Yongzhou Eight Records'. Among them, 'Xiaoshitanji', 'The Snake Catcher's Talk', and 'River Snow' are all must-read texts in middle school textbooks. When you walk into Liu Zimiao to reread these texts, those famous sentences that have been precipitated for decades can still be resurrected in an instant.
Yongzhou 2 Days 1 Night Travel Guide|Experience the historical charm of the ancient city
|Experience the historical charm of the ancient city. Yongzhou is an old city with a rich historical background, not only leaving many historical relics, but also rich in historical atmosphere. I used to study in Yongzhou for a few years, the pace of life is slow and very human.
I have always wanted to revisit the historical charm of Yongzhou, and coincidentally, a friend also wanted to experience the history of Yongzhou, so we agreed to go together for a 2-day and 1-night historical exploration trip in Yongzhou.
🗺️ Travel Route :
Day 1: Yongzhou Station—Qiyang Wuxi Park—Liu Zi Temple—Liu Zi Street
Day 2: Lingling Ancient City—Jiangyong Nvshu Garden—Return
On the first day, after arriving at Yongzhou Station, I went directly to Qiyang Wuxi Park to explore the cliff texts that have a history of thousands of years. Following the tour guide in the scenic area to visit Wuxi Stele Forest, listening to the guide's explanation, I instantly traveled back to a thousand years ago, carefully appreciating these stone carvings left by celebrities of all ages.
Wuxi Park is very large, not only beautiful scenery and deep historical background; the park has many open-air cliff carvings, including the essence of Wuxi Cliff, Tang Carving 'Great Tang Zhongxing Song' stele, a whole wall of stone carvings; there are 'Demon Mirror', 'Demon Suppression Charm', runes that can bring good luck, etc.; there is also this good scenery by the river, walking in Wuxi Stele Forest, every place is a good view.
After the tour, I set off for Liu Zi Temple in Lingling Ancient City, which was built in the third year of Zhihe in the Northern Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the third year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, with a history of more than 900 years.
There are three brick and wood structures in the temple, with a stage in front, a yongdao in the middle, and a rear hall from the yongdao. The temple has Liu Zongyuan's historical events, stone carvings rubbings and back garden, from the front hall to the back garden, quite charming.
In the evening, I visited Liu Zi Street next to Liu Zi Temple. Liu Zi Street is 550 meters long, built in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, was the official road in the ancient Xianggui thoroughfare, the street buildings are mostly Ming and Qing ancient buildings, now there are still well-preserved old buildings, but they have all become rental shops for ancient costumes and coffee shops, you can rent a set to take some ancient costumes here.
On the second day, from Lingling Ancient City to Jiangyong Nvshu Garden, here is the only 'female text' found in human beings so far——Jiangyong Nvshu, which is a national intangible cultural heritage, composed of female characters, female songs, female red and its inherited folk customs, forming a rich and three-dimensional female book custom.
Nvshu Garden is located on Puwei Island, known as 'Nvshu Resurrection Island', 15 kilometers away from Jiangyong County; surrounded by Xiaoshui on all sides, with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs, entering Nvshu Garden is like entering a peach blossom source, far away from the hustle and bustle and complexity of the world, only the beautiful scenery and rich historical atmosphere.
Stepping into Nvshu Garden, we all became illiterate, those ant-like characters, although good-looking but difficult to understand, fortunately, there are local Nvshu teachers to guide us to visit, we visited the previous female life supplies and production tools, learned about local marriage customs and the exquisite female red made by women at that time, what impressed me most was the tool used by women to write Nvshu characters at that time, using sharpened branches and pot ash, created the world's greatest female text, it is indeed a world wonder, we also experienced a Nvshu text teaching class, quite meaningful.
These days of travel really made me feel the deep historical background and rich historical and cultural atmosphere of Yongzhou, I think I can come to play many times, not only to appreciate the scenery of Yongzhou like a landscape painting, but also to appreciate the unique historical relics of Yongzhou: the cliff carvings that have been famous at home and abroad for thousands of years and the unique Nvshu culture in the world.

Yangmingshan National Forest Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
let’s feel the incoming summer
Look at the rime on Yangming Mountain
Let's go! We are going to Yongzhou, exploring north of Guangdong, decided to take a look at the rime on Yangming Mountain.❄️🏞️
In Yangming Mountain in Yongzhou, I checked a lot of information, but found limited introductions, so I had to go on an adventure myself. It is recommended to choose a lower temperature, avoid snowfall, because snow may cause road closures. The day after I left, it snowed in Hunan, and various road closures were inevitable.☁️❄️
When going up the mountain, the navigation directly points to the east gate of Yangming Mountain. There was a section of road repair and pit filling along the way, and I waited for 20 minutes to pass, which should be faster under normal circumstances. The road surface is full of potholes and mud, and under non-snowy conditions, ordinary two-wheel drive cars are fine, just drive carefully. After arriving at the entrance of the scenic spot, the ticket is purchased on the spot for 50 yuan, and online purchase only costs 35 yuan, but it takes 2-4 hours, it is recommended to buy in advance.🚗🎫
Rime began to appear at the fork, the viewing platform was severely iced, it is recommended to wear hiking shoes, walk carefully. Walk towards Wanshou Temple all the way, passing by the Red Army Martyrs Monument on the way, it is recommended to stop and feel the majesty in the clouds.🏔️❤️
Continue along the mountain road, Wanshou Temple is simple and quiet, and the incense is not prosperous. After coming out of Wanshou Temple, you can't continue to go up, the road is blocked. Return to the fork and go to Wanhe Lake.☁️🚶
The biggest surprise of Yangming Mountain is Wanhe Lake. Looking at the mountains and rivers and the lake is like being frozen in the clouds and mist, and you can instantly feel the artistic conception of 'a thousand mountains bird fly absolutely, all paths human traces vanished' in 'River Snow'. There is also a charging pile here, with a power of 40kW, just in time to charge the car while eating. The restaurant prices are moderate, with fish and chicken as the features, homemade tofu and bacon are quite rough, and the taste is passable.⚡🍲
It is very easy to go up the mountain on Yangming Mountain without snow, just pay attention to the oncoming vehicles on the mountain road. There were some problems when going down the mountain. At 3 pm, the fog was thick and the visibility was very poor. There were also vehicles going up the mountain, so be extra careful. Fortunately, we left early, and I suggest everyone leave as early as possible.🚗🌫️
If it is a weekend trip, I personally suggest choosing Yangming Mountain. In winter, there is no need to go to Lingling in Yongzhou, which is easier and the cost is relatively low. New energy vehicles need to pay attention to timely charging, and my energy consumption per hundred kilometers is 30 degrees when going up the mountain. Try to increase the tire pressure before going out, low temperature can easily cause low tire pressure alarm, and bring inflation equipment at the same time. I helped a Tesla to inflate the tire at the entrance of the scenic spot.🏞️🔌
Shuangpai Yangmingshan: A journey to enjoy natural scenery
🎈Shuangpai Yangmingshan is famous for its winding mountain roads. You can drive smoothly to the top of the mountain, although the mountain road is rugged, you can slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way. The entire mountain road is divided into three parts: the foot of the mountain, the middle of the mountain, and the top of the mountain, each with its own characteristics. I chose to go when the weather was slightly better, if you plan to go, I suggest choosing a colder weather or the season when the flowers bloom in April. There are azaleas and cherry blossoms on the top of the mountain. Although I missed this season, I imagine the beauty of the whole mountain and plain being azaleas, it must be very spectacular.
In this season at the middle of the mountain, you can enjoy the spectacle of rime. Compared with Nanyue Hengshan, Yangmingshan is more cost-effective. There is a grand temple on the mountain, you can go in and visit. If you feel hungry, there are various foods to choose from on the middle of the mountain, including Xinjiang barbecue skewers, fried rice, fried noodles and stir-fried vegetables. If conditions permit, I suggest bringing your own small hot pot and some side dishes, enjoy it at the middle of the mountain, eating hot pot in this beautiful place while enjoying the magnificent scenery of the middle of the mountain, it will be a very comfortable experience.
Yangmingshan is divided into several areas, if you drive all the way to the top of the mountain, remember to go to the lake. The lake is also one of the core attractions of Yangmingshan, where there are cherry blossoms, suspension bridges, and tents and a series of interesting and beautiful places.
In short, Shuangpai Yangmingshan is a very good place. Brave to set off, first enjoy the beauty of the world! Call your buddies to go out and feel the charm of nature, you will have new discoveries.

Pingzhou Academy Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
The unique Pingzhou Academy
Located at the confluence of the Xiao River and the Xiang River, eight miles northwest of the ancient city of Yongzhou, there is a small island called Ping Island. It is surrounded by water on all sides, like two dragons playing with a pearl. The island is full of ancient trees and lush bamboo and banana trees, with a quiet and elegant environment and beautiful scenery. On the island, there is the Pingzhou Academy, which was established in the fourth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1739). The academy is in the form of a quadrangle, with gray bricks and green tiles, and a sense of age.
The Pingzhou Academy is known as one of the four major academies in Hunan, along with Yuelu, Shigu, and Chengnan.
The unique and beautiful natural landscape of Ping Island has long attracted people's appreciation. During the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou, where he traveled by boat on the Xiao and Xiang rivers and visited Ping Island. He wrote the poem 'Xiangkou Pavilion, where the two waters of Xiao and Xiang meet'.
As soon as you enter the 'Xiaoxiang' gate, you can see an arc-shaped stele forest arranged on the left, with both sides, there are many famous people's handwriting, worth slowly tasting.
The Pingzhou Academy is simple and quiet, and some viewing platforms in the style of Han white jade have been added to the back of the academy, which are also very beautiful for taking pictures.
To visit Pingzhou Academy on Ping Island, you need to take a boat, which costs 20 yuan for a round trip. Taking photos in Hanfu on the boat is also very harmonious.

Stepping into the Pingzhou Academy in Yongzhou is like reading a small poem of Xiaoxiang
Coming from the bustling metropolis to the Pingzhou Academy, the body and mind are as comfortable as if they have been bathed and incensed. The Pingzhou Academy was built in the Qing Dynasty, located on Ping Island in Yongzhou, where the Xiao River and Xiang River converge, and you must take a small boat to get to the island. The island is full of ancient trees and abundant bamboo and bananas. The bluestone path in the academy is planted with 320-year-old ancient osmanthus trees. Although the osmanthus has withered, the four seasons osmanthus is in full bloom, and the fragrance is attacking people's hearts. The lingering piano sound is revolving around the ears, strolling in it, enjoying the tranquility of the island, and the beauty seeps into every cell. It can be described as 'When you wield a brush, you should get the help of the country, and if you don't go to Xiaoxiang, how can there be a poem'.

Shang Gan Tang Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Yongzhou Jiangyong| The Shanggantang Village by the mountain and water
| The Shanggantang Village by the mountain and water. Shanggantang Village is a Han ethnic village. Its architectural style and layout are ingeniously similar to the surrounding Yao ethnic villages. The Zhou family has settled here for more than 1000 years and has passed down more than forty generations. This family has produced many talents, including more than 100 officials above the seventh rank, two imperial scholars, and countless scholars and talents.
I originally thought the village would not be very large, but in fact, it is much larger than I imagined. There are more than 200 buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties preserved here, but apart from the area along the river, most of the old houses on the mountainside have been abandoned.
Like Goulan Yao Village, Shanggantang Village also does not require a ticket, and vehicles do not need to be parked in the parking lot outside the scenic area gate (the navigation only leads to here), you can drive directly to the parking lot near Wenchang Pavilion.
Shanggantang Village and Goulan Yao Village both have various restaurants and inns, and they are not far from Jiangyong County, only 25 kilometers away, and it takes half an hour to drive.

Shanggantang Village is only 9 kilometers away from Goulan Yao Village, but due to lack of time yesterday, Shanggantang was left for today.
Shanggantang is a Han village, and its architectural style and layout are similar to the surrounding Yao villages.
The Zhou family has settled here for more than 1000 years and has continued for more than forty generations. The family has produced many talents, with more than 100 officials above the seventh rank, two scholars, and countless scholars.
The village is much larger than I expected, with more than 200 Ming and Qing buildings preserved, but apart from the area along the river, most of the old houses near the mountain inside have been abandoned.
Like Goulan Yao Village, there is no need for tickets, and cars do not need to be parked in the parking lot outside the scenic area gate (navigation only leads here), and can be directly driven to the parking lot near Wenchang Pavilion.
Both Shanggantang Village and Goulan Yao Village have restaurants and guest houses, and they are not far from Jiangyong County, 25 kilometers, half an hour by car.
Hunan·Shanggantang Village|A thousand-year-old village
The village faces west with its back against the beautiful Pingfeng Mountain, and in front of it is the clear Xie Mu River.
