Nanchang. The Haihunhou State Site Park of the Han Dynasty in Nanchang and the Haihunhou Tomb and Site Museum are excellent windows into the civilization of the Western Han Dynasty and are a core landmark of Nanchang's cultural tourism. As the best-preserved Han Dynasty marquis tomb in my country, the tomb contains a "golden sea" of 115 kilograms of gold artifacts, a "money mountain" composed of nearly 3 million Wuzhu coins, and even more impressive are the 1800-year-old Qi Analects bamboo slips and the oldest existing portrait mirror of Confucius.
Elderly people with mobility issues can take the elevator. There are balconies on the 3rd and 5th floors with scenic views. Each floor has different exhibitions. The current building was rebuilt in 1989.

It was my first time in Changsha, and I chose to go to the Hunan Provincial Museum first. I saw the Mawangdui Han Tomb exhibits that I had only seen on TV before. The tour guide Xiao Xiao was very responsible and patient, and the explanation was very detailed. It was a great experience.
Today's visit to the Hunan Provincial Museum completely exceeded our expectations, thanks to our docent, Xiao Xiao. Instead of simply reading from a script, she brought the artifacts to life with vivid details. When discussing the brocade robes from the Mawangdui Han Tomb, she remarked, "Nobles over 2,000 years ago wore such lightweight, 'haute couture' garments." She spoke with impeccable speed and passion throughout, ensuring we didn't feel overwhelmed by information or miss any of the remarkable stories. At the end, she even shared many of her own photos. Her professional and engaging explanations allowed us to not only see the artifacts themselves, but also understand the history and culture behind them. If you visit the Hunan Provincial Museum, be sure to experience this unforgettable experience with Xiao Xiao.

A large park around the river. In addition to enjoying the breeze by the river, you can also see the large statue of Mao Zedong! It's a long way to get in from the subway, and the round trip bus cost 40 yuan, which is not cost-effective! I can only say that if you have nothing to do and have time, it's okay to take a walk if you like to exercise.
The night view is stunning. The light show makes it look bustling and prosperous.
We took the train. It wasn't crowded. Most people went to see the giant statue of Chairman Mao.
We enjoyed the breeze from the Xiang River. The view was also expansive.
It's a shame our stay was short. We didn't get to see every scene in detail.

Regarding this place, it is highly recommended to visit here at the evening because the nightview is very resplendent.
After enjoying the night view of Jiangge from the boat, I opted to climb it during the day. It was a wonderful experience! I was able to experience the vastness and grandeur of the Xiangjiang River up close again, and gaze out over Orange Island and Yuelu Mountain. Suddenly, I felt even closer to Du Fu. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great; it was overcast and rainy, with a chilly wind howling through, which dampened my spirits a bit.

The scenic area is not large, but Yueyang Tower is a "three-dimensional history book" that requires quiet contemplation. Its appeal lies not in the entertainment projects, but in the immersive cultural experience and spiritual resonance it provides.
"Qinyuanchun: Climbing Yueyang Tower"
Baling's beauty, its splendor abounds, a journey together in late spring.
The wind is clear in Yunmeng, the rain has cleared at Junshan; the sun rises on the vast sea, the white waves swallow the boat.
The moss covers the Chu Pavilion, the dust on the Tang bricks is cold, a towering pavilion overlooks the nine provinces.
Wherever I gaze, I find the calligraphy of Fan Gong and the poetry of Du Sou.
Why scratch my head over the rise and fall of time?
Beyond the railings, I watch the Yangtze River flow by.
Is Lü Xian drunk? The kites are far away; Xiang Fei is old, the mottled bamboos sway.
I point with a smile at the dome monument, casually tap the railings, and call out to the blue sky's classic oriole.
In the setting sun, where the mist rises, we share the eternity of the ups and downs.

We went in early August during summer vacation. It was quite crowded, so the line was understandably long.
However, some travelers were smoking and shirtless while waiting in line, which really ruined the experience. If you see this review, I hope it will be improved.
Want another review? Haha. I have to climb it once a year. Mountains, meadows, sea of clouds, there's no better place. We usually go down the mountain after watching the sunset, so we don't have time to take the cable car. What mountain climbing doesn't hurt your legs? If you don't hurt your legs, you're not a special forces soldier. Just do it.

Haihunhou went there just to see the gold. It was quite meaningful to see the bronze artifacts in the actual venue. I also admired the wisdom of the ancients who were able to build chariots and horses in an era without screws, and also carved jade artifacts. However, you must ask for an explanation so that you can know some interesting stories.
We arrived early in the morning, so it's a bit far. If this attraction were closer to the city, I can't imagine how crowded it would be. It was quite lively. Overall, the museum isn't as extensive as other general museums, but as a specialized museum, it's quite good. The cemetery experience was quite good, though the only drawback is that the cemetery seems a bit small. The shuttle bus is very convenient, but you'll still need to take it in hot weather.

Gaoyiling boasts stunningly beautiful and rugged scenery, perfect for taking amazing photos. However, too many commercial attractions, such as ziplining, cliff walking (a heart-stopping experience), and horseback riding down the mountain, have ruined the overall experience.
Gaoyiling is still worth a visit overall. Even if you don't play the amusement equipment, it is a good choice to just climb the mountain. This time I chose the 4-hour route, which basically circled from the South Gate. If you go on a sunny day, remember to buy more water.

Mount Hengshan, one of the Five Great Mountains, is breathtaking. Besides the historic Nanyue Temple, there are also breathtaking mountain scenery. The highest peak is Zhurong Peak, where you'll see many students making wishes and fulfilling them. It's important to note that when ascending Zhurong Peak from the South Gate of Heaven, remember to take the main road, not the smaller path. The smaller path is a mountain path with high stone steps and is not recommended for the elderly or children.
Hengshan Mountain entrance fees are quite affordable, and compared to the Five Great Mountains, they're quite affordable. However, due to its reputation, there are a lot of vendors. I'm not sure why there's no cable car, but it makes no sense, considering this place doesn't need the income. The scenery is quite nice, and the climb isn't too strenuous. The shuttle service is excellent, and you can call to request a shuttle to pick you up at some smaller attractions.

Travel Tips:
If time is tight and the weather is bad, walk from the South Gate to Yuelu Academy and Aiwan Pavilion; the return journey takes about two hours.
If the weather is good and you have more time, enter from the East Gate by sightseeing bus to the mountaintop viewing corridor, then walk down the mountain to visit Chuanshipo Lake, Yuelu Academy, and Aiwan Pavilion.
The sightseeing bus route is flat throughout, making it beautiful even on rainy autumn days.
There are so many people on holidays. It is recommended to travel during off-peak hours. It will be more comfortable. We did not go to Aiwan Pavilion and Yuelu Academy up close. Yuelu Academy requires separate tickets. The tour guide did not give us time to buy tickets separately. We came to pick it up in a hurry.
