The Mawangdui exhibits are very interesting. The large tombs and remains from the Han Dynasty are very impressive. The civet cats are very cute. The food in the restaurant is quite delicious and hygienic, but there are too few seats. You have to wait for a long time to get a seat.
We lined up outside the museum half an hour in advance waiting for it to open. The weather was too hot, so we gathered at the designated location shortly after entering. The teacher was knowledgeable and the explanation was easy to understand, which made people listen with great interest. The only drawback was that there were too many people visiting and the environment was a bit noisy!

The Orange Island Scenic Area is the most popular scenic area in Changsha. It is crowded and the weather is hot. It is recommended to take a small train for sightseeing. The cost-effectiveness of the boat tour is not high. It is my personal interest. The portrait of the young Chairman Mao is still lifelike. Overall, it is okay!
Teacher Xiao Peng is very professional and responsible. He explained everything clearly and took good care of the group members. This trip gave us a deeper understanding of Changsha and was worth the trip. Thank you, Teacher Xiao Peng. It's really great. 👍🏻 Super awesome. 👍🏻 I will definitely look for Teacher Xiao Peng when I travel.

You absolutely have to visit Du Fu Jiangge at night. It looks quite ordinary during the day, but at night, it's a completely different experience. The lights come on and the atmosphere becomes truly captivating. Many influencers livestream their singing below, which is truly delightful to listen to. Across from it is Chairman Mao's statue at Orange Island, where you can take photos. But don't go too late at night, as the lights seem to be turned off at 10:30 p.m. Another plus is that the river breeze is so pleasant at night, otherwise Changsha's summer heat is unbearable.
It's worth it. I've been here so many times and I always feel the service is very good. This time I bought a box of snail noodles and it only cost 8 yuan to mail it. I booked two or three rooms and each room was given a bottle of water. I feel the service is really good.

Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area, this world natural heritage site in Guilin City, is known for its strange karst landscape and beautiful landscapes. Here, visitors can enjoy the ghostly Elephant Trunk Hill and the picturesque natural scenery around it, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.
The Elephant Trunk Hill is really worthy of its reputation! The shape of the elephant drinking water is amazing, and the texture of the rock is super textured when you look at it up close. The Li River surrounds the mountain, and when you take a bamboo raft past the Elephant Trunk Cave, the mountains and water complement each other like a poem and a painting. The view from the top of the mountain is wide, and you can overlook the scenery of the whole city. It is worth a visit to take photos~

As night falls and the lights come on, the Sun and Moon Towers are illuminated, their graceful silhouettes reflected on the lake, creating a shimmering, dreamlike scene. At this moment, it's as if time has stood still, and all I want to do is quietly savor this beautiful and romantic moment. 💕 The boat lady was incredibly welcoming, the scenery was captivating, and the photos were absolutely stunning!!!
The environment is nice, but the tea is a bit hard to drink, it is sweet. The whole process took about 40 minutes but less than an hour. It feels great to sit on the boat at night and watch the night view on both sides with the wind blowing!

The historical information is rich, the guide is humorous, and the experience is quite good, not as bad as online reviews suggest. I understand the value of the ticket price; these artifacts need to be maintained and staffed. There's an ice cream shop to the right of the main entrance, which is quite delicious, with a sweet osmanthus flavor. It's very close to East and West Alleys, and I recommend eating at Shanlili for delicious and affordable meals.
A classic scenic spot in Guilin, the mountain is not high, and it is nice to climb up to see the overall scenery of Guilin. It should be a privately developed attraction, and there is no preferential policy for tickets for soldiers.

The magnificent dragon ridge terraces are picturesque and beautiful. It is like a colorful picture, which makes people linger. Every field is carefully carved and scattered, and stretches from the foot of the mountain to the top, like a dragon circling. Here, you can feel the magic and magnificence of nature, and you can also experience the beauty of the harmony between man and nature.
The owner's service attitude is very dedicated. We arrived at midnight for check-in, and the owner waited and came down to help with our luggage. When I woke up in the morning, the view outside the window was pleasant. The room was very clean and tidy. I wiped it again with a tissue and there was no dust at all. The breakfast tasted really good (the sour beans and rice noodles are highly recommended, they are delicious. I am from Guangdong and have a light taste). It was very rich, and the restaurant also faces the terraced rice fields. There are a few minor issues. The soundproofing in the room is not very good. The air conditioner makes a noise when it runs, and the air in the room is a bit stuffy and smelly. I recommend adding some aromatherapy to remove the odor.

1. The overall scenery is invincible, there is nothing to pick. The main thing is not to go there in summer. You need to go to the top of the cruise ship to see all the good-looking scenery, and you will be sunburned in minutes, haha; 2. If financial conditions permit, it is strongly recommended to choose a four-star cruise ship. There are fewer people and the facilities are a level higher than those of the three-star cruise ship. The most important thing is that no one will compete with you for the position to take pictures of the scenery. When you are taking pictures on the top platform of the three-star cruise ship, there are only a few people on the top of the passing four-star cruise ship, which is very comfortable!
I highly recommend this three-star cruise. The overall service was excellent. Our reservation was rescheduled, and Ctrip quickly contacted us to arrange a hotel pickup. Our tour guide, Li, explained the local specialties of Yangshuo and Guilin, giving us a deeper understanding of the city. The scenery on the cruise was breathtaking, even from the cabin, even in the rain.

It was my first time taking a cruise and I felt it was a little expensive, but after getting on board, I saw the unparalleled scenery and the high-end mahogany seats inside the cruise ship. The misty scenery was so attractive that it left a deep impression on me. In addition, when I placed the order, I also ordered the meal with a try-it mentality, and the result exceeded my expectations. It was a very good lunch. Everyone can book tickets actively, it is definitely worth it 😍😍
The Lijiang River scenic area is famous for its unique natural scenery and deep cultural heritage. The landscapes in the scenic area are picturesque and refreshing. Here, you can take a bamboo raft down the current, enjoy the strange peaks and rocks on both sides of the Straits, and experience the wonderful journey of "Baili Lijiang River, Baili Gallery".

Yueyang Tower has been there twice, this time I took the children, mainly to let him understand the artistic conception of "Yueyang Tower Notes" and Fan Zhongyan dumplings Jing Ergong for the national feelings!
Children under 14 are free, which is great.
It's really hot in the summer, and by 8 a.m. there were already quite a few people there. Climbing up Yueyang Tower and looking out, I saw that the water of Dongting Lake was quite murky. The "green snail" on Junshan Mountain was actually flat. I really admire the imagination of the ancients.
Those who don't want to retrace their steps can exit through the North Gate, but the location shown on Gaode is different from the actual location. The North Gate is now located "by the lake," requiring you to "walk down the mountain," exit the gate, and then "walk up the mountain" to reach the roadside.
