This garden-style hotel has a beautiful environment and you can even stroll through the garden. The front desk staff, Lily, was very helpful and the housekeeping department's laundry service was also very attentive. The room was spacious and bright, with complete facilities, and it was a very comfortable stay!
The water quality of Zhanghe River is excellent and its natural resources are rich. It is nice to take a boat tour. In hot weather, the boat staff kept turning on the air conditioner on the boat to remind everyone to arrive at the return location and the play time on time. However, the supporting facilities of the island in the center of the lake are still under construction and a good closed loop has not been formed. At the same time, due to the hot weather and few tourists, there are only a small number of staff on the island for paid projects, and some free projects are unmanaged and have few staff, so I didn't get to experience them!

National Scenic Spot
Hubei Dakou National Forest Park is located in Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, at the southern foot of Dahongshan Scenic Area, 30 kilometers away from Zhongxiang Yingzhong City; it is adjacent to Taizi Mountain in the east, Qujialing in the south, Zaodang Line in the north, and Hanshui River in the west; the total area is 1,590 hectares, and the forest coverage rate exceeds 90%.
Hubei Dakou Provincial Forest Park was built in 1992, and in July 1995, it was approved by the former State Forestry Department to establish Dakou National Forest Park. The park has a subtropical monsoon climate, with a unique microclimate, no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, abundant rainfall, and an average annual temperature of 15.9℃. The park is dominated by low mountain landforms, with an average altitude of 350 meters. The main vegetation is deciduous broad-leaved forest and coniferous broad-leaved mixed forest.
Hubei Dakou National Forest Park is divided into four major scenic spots: Jiujiu Tianxi Scenic Area, Yuntai Scenic Area, Yingzidong Scenic Area, and Liumenkou Scenic Area, with a total of 17 scenic spots; there are some Buddhist temples, Zen temples, and Taoist temples in the park.
In June 2020, it was selected into the list of national forest health care bases (first batch).
Hubei Dakou National Forest Park is a national forest park. The following is a specific evaluation:
Scenery
The mountains and rivers are interdependent, and the natural scenery is beautiful: the park has undulating mountains, gurgling streams, waterfalls, and the Tianchi is like a mirror. The Jiuji Tianxi Scenic Area is famous for its clear streams and waterfalls. The water is clear and blue. The big and small Tianchi are the essence of the park. The lake is green and surrounded by mountains. The scenery is beautiful. In addition, there are unique landscapes such as Wulong Cave and Nanzhu Forest, which make people linger.
Rich vegetation and diverse ecology: The main vegetation in the park is deciduous broad-leaved forest and coniferous broad-leaved mixed forest, with lush trees, birds singing and flowers. Walking in the forest trail, you can breathe fresh air and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. In spring, everything revives, the mountain flowers are in full bloom, and it is even more beautiful.
Fun
Parent-child interaction, endless fun: The park has many attractions and activity areas suitable for parent-child interaction. For example, you can catch small fish and shrimps in the stream and experience the fun of fishing; you can also enjoy your own food in the picnic area and experience the fun of outdoor dining. In addition, there are Internet celebrity swings, photo-taking check-in points, etc., which increase the fun and interactivity of the play.
Adventure challenges, exciting and interesting: For tourists who like adventure, the mountain roads and caves in the park are good challenges. Although some sections of the road are rugged, it is this challenge that makes the play process more exciting and interesting. At the same time, there are many viewing platforms and climbing pavilions in the park, where you can climb high and look far, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire park.
Cost-effectiveness
The ticket price is affordable: Compared with other well-known tourist attractions, the ticket price of Hubei Dakou National Forest Park is very affordable. It only costs 35 yuan/person to book one day in advance, and it only costs 40 yuan/person to buy tickets on site. This price is acceptable to most tourists.
Rich play items: Although the ticket price is not high, the play items in the park are very rich. Whether it is enjoying the natural scenery, participating in parent-child interaction, adventure challenges and other activities, tourists can feel that they are getting great value for money.
The scenery of Dakou National Forest Park is good, that is, the water volume is not large now, and the so-called Tianchi is also very small. The photos on the Internet are filters, the water is not so green, the road is not easy to walk, don't wear slippers, you can wear sandals or put slippers in your bag if you want to play in the water. But there are really a lot of mosquitoes and insects inside. When I entered the door, there were mosquitoes in front of me. I kept buzzing in my ears all the way, and some flew in my eyes. Husband said that because there were few people, more people were scattered, and I don't know if it was like this! 🤭
No.

It's really spectacular! A huge cave! There are all kinds of stalagmites and stalactites in it, as well as travertine pools that have undergone many changes! It's definitely worth seeing!
There are many newly emerged and growing stalagmites, stalactites and small jellyfish in the cave (some stalactites really look like jellyfish! There is also a huge jellyfish!), maybe any stalagmite has a history of hundreds of millions of years. In front of the wonders of nature, humans are just fleeting...
It's just a little too far, and transportation is inconvenient... But now the road is being repaired, I hope that some scenic area buses can be added in the future, otherwise it is really inconvenient to go without a car...
The cave is very deep, more than five kilometers in and out, constantly going up and down stairs... In fact, it is climbing in the cave... Be sure to wear good walking shoes and plan your physical strength for the return trip, but there are many benches in the cave for rest, you can rest at any time if you can't walk anymore
After walking for a long time, you will feel that this is like the abyss-like cave in the Great Desert Wolf...
I saw a sign for the geological park on the road, and I hope that the nearby geological landscape can be well planned to become a better attraction!
It seems that you can't buy tickets for the same day on Ctrip, you can only buy tickets for tomorrow. Taking photos in the cave is free, and you can choose to get a small free photo or a large photo for a fee when you leave the cave. I think it's a rare opportunity to come here, so you should have a photo as a souvenir.
If you have breakfast in Zhongxiang, the longevity town named by Emperor Jiajing himself, you must try the rice noodle pot! It's really delicious!
Huangxian Cave is a natural wonder. The stalactites in the cave are in various shapes and colors, like a dream. Exploring it is like being in a mysterious underground palace, and every step is a surprise. The fresh air and gurgling water make people forget the troubles of the world. Whether you are an adventure enthusiast or a follower of natural beauty, Huangxian Cave is a travel destination that cannot be missed and will make you linger.
