Compared with the other four famous towers, Yueyang Tower is still a little inferior. If you have been to the other four famous towers, you don't have to go to see it. It's not worth a special trip.
In the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli reign, Teng Zijing was exiled to Baling County.
The next year, the government was in order and the people were harmonious, and all the abandoned things were revived. So Yueyang Tower was rebuilt, and its old structure was added. Poems and essays by Tang and modern people were engraved on it.
I was asked to write an essay to record it.
I saw the beautiful scenery of Baling, which is in Dongting Lake.
It holds the distant mountains and swallows the Yangtze River. It is vast and boundless;
It is sunny in the morning and gloomy in the evening, and it is full of scenery.
This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, which has been described by the predecessors.
However, it connects Wu Gorge in the north and Xiaoxiang in the south. Many migrants and poets gather here. Wouldn’t their feelings about the scenery be different?
If it rains heavily, the moon does not open for a long time, the wind howls, and the turbid waves fill the sky;
The sun and stars are hidden, and the mountains are hidden;
Merchants cannot travel, and the masts are tilted and the oars are broken;
At dusk, tigers roar and monkeys cry. When I climb this tower, I miss my country and hometown, worry about slander and fear of ridicule, and feel sad.
When the spring is warm and the scenery is bright, the waves are calm, the sky is blue and boundless;
Sand gulls fly and gather, and fish swim;
The shore is covered with lush green grass and orchids.
When the long smoke is gone, the bright moon is thousands of miles away, the floating light is golden, the still shadows are like jade, and the fishermen sing to each other, how great is this joy!
When I climb this tower, I feel relaxed and happy, forget about honor and disgrace, drink wine in the wind, and feel happy.
Alas!
I have tried to seek the heart of the ancient benevolent people, and I think they are different from the two. Why?
Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself;
If you are in a high position in the temple, you will worry about the people;
If you are far away in the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your king.
So you are worried when you advance and you are worried when you retreat.
Then when will you be happy?
He must have said, "I worry before the world worries, and I enjoy after the world enjoys"?
Alas!
Without this man, who would I go home with?
It was September 15th, the sixth year.

【长沙世界之窗解构报告：时空折叠机里的文明游乐场】 作为中南地区首座文化主题乐园，长沙世界之窗 绝非简单的微缩景观合集，而是用高浓度快乐因子与文明切片重构的魔幻试验场。这里既适合亲子撒欢，也能让成年人找回失落的童心，值得作为长沙游的欢乐补给站。其核心竞争力在于将世界文明符号与潮玩基因进行量子纠缠，打造出独属湖湘的“文化过山车”。三大颠覆性玩法 1. 文明快闪剧场 108处微缩景观不是静态模型，而是被注入灵魂的时空胶囊：埃及区狮身人面像前上演法老激光秀，比萨斜塔下飘来意大利歌剧咏叹调，新天鹅城堡化身万圣节丧尸突围战场。最绝的是湘江文化区——用吊脚楼茶馆衔接德国新天鹅堡，在臭豆腐摊与啤酒节的混搭中完成文化解构。2. 硬核游乐方程式 悬挂过山车“冲天大摆锤”以120°仰角将尖叫甩进云霄，5D星空影院的《火星远征》用喷气座椅模拟陨石撞击，水上狂欢乐园夏季变身泼水电音节现场。2023年新升级的“机械迷城”更是将蒸汽朋克美学融入跳楼机，让肾上腺素飙升充满赛博仪式感。3. 节庆元宇宙 这里全年都是平行宇宙入口：春节变身大唐不夜城，NPC提着鱼灯与你对飞花令；万圣节整座乐园堕入克苏鲁世界，丧尸在金字塔群游荡；圣诞节则让埃菲尔铁塔披上极光，驯鹿雪橇从印度泰姬陵前掠过。每个节庆都是打破物理规则的造梦实验。体验优化公式 时空折叠动线：早晨直冲金字塔区拍无人写真，午后转战水上乐园降温，黄昏乘摩天轮捕获“岳麓山落日熔金”帧率 感官混搭术：在印度区抛饼工坊DIY咖喱味糖油粑粑，于牛仔小镇射击馆赢取臭豆腐兑换券 隐藏副本：寻找散布园区的12处AR文明图腾，扫码召唤古埃及猫神或北欧雷神合影 当夜幕降临，文明奇迹在3D mapping中集体复：泰姬陵流淌星河，斗兽场化作DJ舞台，而每周六的焰火大秀更将狂欢推向顶点——这里没有沉重的历史包袱，只有文明符号在过山车轨道上碰撞出的快乐火花。与其说是主题公园，不如说是人类把地球装进游乐场的野心实验：在尖叫与欢笑的催化下，金字塔与摩天轮达成了跨时空和解。
Changsha Window of the World, a theme park that combines appreciation and culture, is truly amazing. Whether it is the lifelike miniature landscape or the colorful theme activities, I can't help but linger. Its existence not only enriches the leisure life of Changsha citizens, but also becomes a window for foreign tourists to understand Changsha. Every time I step into this world full of joy and knowledge, I feel extremely happy.

Stepping into Yuelu Academy, it feels like traveling through time and space. The ancient and quaint buildings stand quietly, the flying eaves and brackets of the Hexi Terrace and the lecture hall tell the vicissitudes of time, and the "loyalty, filial piety, honesty and integrity" inscribed by Zhu Xi are vigorous and powerful, which makes people stop and think. Strolling in the corridors and gently touching the mottled brick walls, it seems that you can touch the figures of students studying hard for thousands of years. The couplets and plaques that can be seen everywhere are full of cultural precipitation. In this quiet place, you will marvel at the beauty of the ancient buildings and be deeply infected by the rich cultural atmosphere. Your heart will also be calm, and you will truly feel the shock and charm of traditional culture.
Worth going! Every time I go to Changsha, I go to see the statue of the President. He has protected the growth of my four generations. Thank you! Love Wanting is the blue lake, the maple forest is green, and the Yuelu Academy is hidden in the lake and mountains. The cultural atmosphere is deep!

The half-day tour was not enough. The children liked it very much. The boat ride was very interesting. The steps and walking distance were acceptable. Children over five years old walked down smoothly. The cave is slippery, so pay attention to safety.
Huanglong Cave, located in Wulingyuan Scenic Area, the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province, is an organic component of Zhangjiajie World Natural Heritage and World Geopark. It is a typical karst karst landform. It is listed as an international tourist cave member and enjoys the reputation of the world. Stepping into Huanglong Cave, it seems to have entered an underground fantasy kingdom. The stalactites, stalagmites, and pillars in the cave have been growing for hundreds of millions of years. Some are like Dinghai Shen needles directly inserted into the top of the hole, and some are like birds and animals, which makes people sigh the magic of nature. Among them, the "Dinghai Shenzhen" of up to 19.2 meters is an iconic attraction in Huanglong Cave. In 1998, the scenic spot insured it for 100 million yuan, which set the world's first insurance for resource assets. The Xiangshui River in the cave is an underground dark river, tourists can take the boat down the current, feel the wonderful experience of "the boat in the water, the person in the painting". The river is crystal clear, and you can see attractions such as "Tianxian Bridge" and "Tianxian Palace" along the way. The tour guide will also tell legends related to the cave and add a mysterious atmosphere. In addition, the Dragon Palace Hall is magnificent, with an area of 16,000 square meters, full of stone, stone pillars, stone, "Dragon King Throne" and "Rocket Launch" and other landscape shapes strange, under the light, like the dragon palace scene in a mythical story. The maze area is one of the most distinctive parts of Huanglong Cave. The stalactites in the cave are dense, and rare landscapes such as stone flowers, stone branches, curling stones can be seen everywhere, and the roads are twisted and full of adventure fun. Huanglong Cave has a constant temperature of 16 ℃ all year round. It is a good place to escape the heat. Even in the hot summer, it can make you feel cool and comfortable. Whether it is an explorer interested in geological wonders or a traveler who wants to experience different scenery, Huanglong Cave can bring a journey of exploration that subverts the imagination.

So happy to visit there. I visited during low season and was quiet. Feels like visiting Venice.
The scenery is a model of Venice Water City. The boat is electric. It takes about 20 minutes to swim 2 laps. It is very good for tourists who like Venice, but people who don’t like this kind of niche attractions are not recommended. There are performances in the park, one after another. It's interesting for young people.

Changsha Underwater World adult ticket 150 children's ticket 110 summer vacation is very hot bring the children to see there is a mermaid show a good place for children to escape the heat cost-effective to apply for an annual card is more cost-effective recommended
In Changsha, there is a place that is like a dreamland, that is Changsha Underwater World, which satisfies all my fantasies about the ocean.
Walking into the underwater world is like stepping into a blue fairy tale. In the aquarium, colorful fish shuttle between the gorgeous coral reefs, like a flowing feast of light and shadow, and every place makes people stop. In the jellyfish museum, transparent jellyfish dance lightly under the light, like a dream.
The Polar Museum is full of surprises. The cute penguins sway and swim in the water from time to time, and their movements are agile; the gentle eyes of the beluga whales make crisp calls from time to time, as if communicating with tourists. There are also smart and cute dolphins and sea lions, who show various difficult movements in the performance and win applause.
The underwater tunnel is an absolute highlight. Walking in it, it seems to be in the deep sea, with sharks, turtles and other marine creatures swimming above and beside your head. The wonderful experience of being within reach makes people immersed in this mysterious ocean world.
This place is not only suitable for family play, allowing children to get close to the ocean and learn knowledge, but also suitable for couples to date and leave beautiful memories in the romantic ocean atmosphere. Whether it is watching marine life or watching wonderful performances, Changsha Underwater World can bring people a unique and unforgettable experience. I sincerely recommend everyone to experience it.

Mangshan is dominated by mountain peaks, with steep terrain and unique geological structures, including faults, folds and rich rock types, crisscrossing streams, numerous waterfalls, and a subtropical monsoon climate. You can take the cable car up and down without climbing the mountain. Tickets + cable car prices are not expensive!
Mangshan is very far from the city. You can either join a tour group or hire a car to go back and forth. Driving there is difficult, so it is not recommended. We hired a car. The hotel recommended that it cost 600 yuan, but we happened to meet a very good driver the day before. He gave us 400 yuan for a round trip. The driver was very skilled, so the overall climb was not bad. Mangshan is very big. We only walked about two-thirds of it because it is cold in winter. It is really worth seeing the rime. Some people will take hiking sticks. I think it is okay. It is about 0℃ in December. Wear a big down jacket and a jacket. There is not much food on the mountain. It is best to bring some dry food, hot tea, etc. The scenery is very good. It is a place full of negative oxygen ions. It is worth going.

Overall it started off well. If you bring your kids, you can play all day. There are many free children's rides. In addition, there are many interpretations of Chinese myths. For example, Cowherd and Weaver Girl is a 4D movie where you can watch it while lying down. Take Me Fly is a Tamron 3D movie. I think there are still many types, and some clever ideas have been put into it. Just pay special attention to the walking process, because it is really tiring. Many performances overlap. You have to make choices, and walking back and forth is really tiring. It is also very annoying to have to wait when there are too many people.
Overall it's pretty good. I've been there many times with my children. They were able to learn a lot about Chinese classical culture and have fun at the same time. However, the service of the scenic area needs to be strengthened, especially the "Fly with You" attraction. Sometimes there are not many people, but you often have to wait in line for a long time, and the height requirement is too strict.

I took my kids out to play during the May Day holiday. It was fun and interesting. There were many things to play with the kids and many things to play with the older kids. We had a lot of fun and will come again in the future.
Интересное шоу, яркое. Несколько раз бежали мурашки. Можно сказать чудесно.

1. Parent-child friendly
It is perfect to bring your kids here! The park is very user-friendly, with a special children's play area and popular science explanations. The children not only saw many cute animals such as tigers and elephants, but also fed giraffes and touched lambs in the interactive area, which made them very excited. There are abundant dining options in the park, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are enthusiastic and patiently answer the children's various "hundred thousand whys". It is definitely a treasure trove for parent-child travel!
2. Immersive experience
This is the first time I have seen such a "heartfelt" zoo! The exhibition area is designed very carefully to simulate the original environment of the animals. Rhinos roll in the mud and monkeys jump between vines, which is particularly immersive. There is also a nocturnal animal pavilion, with dim lights and realistic sound effects, as if you are really in the jungle. The park's guide APP can locate the animal's position in real time, and you can also listen to professional explanations, which is a full experience!
3. Cost-effective and facilities
The ticket price is very affordable. I didn't expect the park to be so large and full of animals! There are panda pavilions, aquariums, and bird areas. In the wild animal area, you can take a sightseeing bus to observe lions and brown bears up close. There are plenty of charging stations and rest benches in the park, the toilets are clean and odorless, and even the mother and baby room is fully equipped. You won't feel tired after a whole day of sightseeing. Highly recommended!
It is very good to take your kids to play, the transportation is very convenient, and there are many kinds of animals!
It is not recommended to bring a lot of things, and storage is charged, and only small things can be stored.
You can take a sightseeing car (feeding car) in addition to the ticket, and add 60 per person. The experience is OK, one plate of meat per person, and three feeding points. The fourth feeding point is vegetarian, and an additional 20 yuan is required for a plate of cucumbers and carrots.
There is Mixue Ice City inside, Swan Lake feeds fish for 10 yuan a bag of fish food, and a boat ride is 60 yuan for a small boat and 80 yuan for a large boat, which is pretty good.
The Polar Museum is really dreamy, there are many fish in it, and the jellyfish are also very beautiful, very suitable for taking pictures, and you can also see Arctic wolves and penguins, which is very suitable for holidays.
The visit time can be 4-5 hours, and the recommended play time is 1 day
