The scenic area is too big. After visiting Bajiaozhai (ropeway up and down) and Tianyixiang, we went home. Tianyixiang was deserted during our family's play in the second half. Such a beautiful scenery, but its popularity is really inconsistent with its 5A reputation. I saw many other rubbish attractions were overcrowded. It's a pity to waste such a good tourist resource.

The scenic area is too big. After visiting Bajiaozhai (ropeway up and down) and Tianyixiang, we went home. Tianyixiang was deserted during our family&#39;s play in the second half. Such a beautiful scenery, but its popularity is really inconsistent with its 5A reputation. I saw many other rubbish attractions were overcrowded. It&#39;s a pity to waste such a good tourist resource.

The scenery of Langshan is very good, the facilities in the scenic area are complete, the service is very good, and parking is free, which is the best! It is very suitable for family travel and parent-child travel! Come again next time!

Langshan, a world natural heritage, national key scenic spot, national 5A-level tourist attraction, and national geological park, is located in Xinning County, Hunan Province. It has a total area of ​​128 square kilometers and has six major scenic spots: Bajiaozhai, Tianyixiang, Lajiaofeng, Zixiadong, Fuyijiang, and Tianshengqiao.

Among the more than 1,000 Danxia landforms discovered in China, it is the most beautiful, most complete, most complete, most typical, most biologically rich, and most harmonious Danxia landform area, known as the &quot;Soul of Danxia, ​​National Treasure&quot;.

It is an outstanding natural museum that displays the topography and process of China&#39;s Danxia landforms, and a natural laboratory for studying geodynamic science and continental basin evolution. It is the best and top resource of China&#39;s Danxia landforms and an outstanding representative of Danxia landforms in their prime.

Lushan is relatively small, it is indeed a relatively small 5A-level scenic spot. The various magical Danxia landforms, plus Fuyi River, are really beautiful, very suitable for playing, and relatively uncrowded compared to other very popular scenic spots, cost-effective and comfortable are very high. There are six major attractions in Lushan, Tianyi Lane, Chili Peak, Zixiaxuan, Fuyijiang, Bajiaozhai and Tiansheng Bridge. At present, Tiansheng Bridge is still under development, so you can visit the first five attractions. There are two choices when buying tickets. Line A tickets include five attractions. Tickets for Line B are to remove four other attractions of Fuyi River rafting. My friend and I bought tickets for Line B this time, excluding Fuyijiang. We stayed in Xinning County for almost two days and two nights. We took a self-driving tour. It is also convenient to drive to various attractions (the various attractions are some distance from each other before), At the same time, the parking lot at the entrance of all attractions is free, so it is more convenient to recommend travel friends to travel by car. If you don&#39;t travel by car, you must choose to buy a ticket to take the scenic tour bus to and from the various attractions. My itinerary is like this: I arrived in Xinning County on the first night, stayed at the hotel in the city, went to the Chili Peak attraction the next morning, went to the Tianyi Lane attractions and Zixiayu attractions in the afternoon, did not return to the city at night, lived in the farm near the scenic spot, the third morning went to the Bajiaozhai attractions, and returned in the afternoon. Next, introduce the following attractions one by one: 1. The Pepper Peak attraction, the attraction actually contains the two attractions of Pepper Peak and Camel Peak. The tour route of Camel Peak has the plank road on the cliff wall, the first line of sky, the arrow stone, the candle peak, the dragon mouth Chaoyang, etc., the landscape is very good, The wall crack is recommended to go up again. The Pepper Peak is mainly a mountain with a similar shape to peppers. You can take pictures at the entrance of the attraction. Although it also has a separate tour route with an observation deck, etc., it feels that this route has a general view, far less than the scenery of Camel Peak. My friend and I spent nearly four hours on two tour routes, Camel Peak and Chili Peak. 2. Tianyixiang attractions, also called the first lane in the world, are a long and high line of days after entering the mountain, must go to experience it again, this tour route is about one and a half to two hours. 3. Zixiayu attractions, the tour route of the attraction, to be honest, I didn&#39;t feel that there was a particularly amazing place, and the scenery on the top of the two observation decks was better. This tour route is about two hours into the mountain and out of the mountain. 4. Bajiaozhai attractions, located at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi, have a stone monument of &quot;one foot across two provinces&quot; on the top. Guangxi and Hunan have the entrance and exit of this attraction. It is nearly 40 minutes drive away. The most famous ones on the top of the mountain are the faucet incense and whales. It is worth seeing. This attraction is about two hours away. Summary: Bajiaozhai, Tianyi Lane, and Camel Peak must go. Chili Peak can be taken at the entrance of the attraction. Zixiayu can not go. The Fuyi River water is particularly beautiful. If you like rafting, you must not miss it. Note: In addition to Fuyi River rafting, the tour routes of several other attractions are to go up and down the mountain. Everyone must do a good job in advance and plan the tour route and time according to their physical strength.

Langshan Scenic Area has A and B packages, which can be purchased according to the situation. The must-see attractions are Tianyi Lane, Camel Peak (with Chili Peak), and Bajiaozhai (Carp in the Sea). It is best to relax for two days and one night. If you travel by car, it is recommended to arrive in Xinning before 12 o&#39;clock and have lunch immediately. After lunch, go to the North Gate (i.e. the tourist center) to buy tickets and visit the tourist center by the way. Then drive to Tianyi Lane Scenic Area and visit Tianyi Lane. It takes about 4 hours to go up and down, and more than 2 hours if you are fast. If you go down the mountain early and have good physical strength, you can continue to visit Zixia Cave Scenic Area. It takes about 1.5 hours to go up and down the mountain, and 1 hour if you are fast. After going down the mountain, return to the county town for accommodation, about 10km. After breakfast the next day, drive to Bajiaozhai Scenic Area, about 25km. It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain, play and take photos on the mountain for about 1.5 hours, and walk down the mountain for about 40 minutes. Drive to Langshan Town for Chinese food or roadside farmhouses. In the afternoon, we drove to visit Luotuofeng, which took about 3 to 4 hours to go up and down the mountain. I went there several times, but because I changed my phone, I only had a few photos of Bajiaozhai and Fuyi River.

It's true that driving on the winding mountain road is tiring, it's true that there's cow and horse poop everywhere, it's true that it's cool and windy, and the scenery is truly stunning. Anyway, I think it's worth a visit 😜

It&#39;s true that driving on the winding mountain road is tiring, it&#39;s true that there&#39;s cow and horse poop everywhere, it&#39;s true that it&#39;s cool and windy, and the scenery is truly stunning. Anyway, I think it&#39;s worth a visit 😜

Nanshan Ranch is a national key scenic spot. It has both the vastness and majesty of the northern grasslands and the elegance and magic of the Jiangnan mountains and rivers. It is known as &quot;Hulunbuir in the South&quot; and &quot;New Zealand in China&quot;.

The scenery of the 80-li Nanshan grassland is a microcosm of the high mountain terrace grassland scenery in the south. The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and black and white cows form a magnificent and vast grassland pastoral picture.

Walking in the vast grassland, there are colorful clouds in the boundless sky. Sometimes there is a white sea of ​​fog at the foot of the mountain, but there are layers of mountain waves on the mountain.

The scenery is nice, but the fees there are too high. Milking costs 30 yuan for five minutes, and horseback riding costs 70 yuan one way. However, yogurt and milk are quite cheap. You can buy a large cup of yogurt for five yuan, which is not bad^&omega;^ but the fees are a bit too much

I came here during the winter vacation, because it was off-season, so the ticket was only fifty-one, half price for minors, free for those under 14 years old! I read the reviews on Ctrip and went to the Impression Nanshan Hotel. The hotel is really good, the boss is very nice, and the room has a panoramic window! You can see cows everywhere here, and you can also experience milking yourself. The yogurt for five yuan a cup is really worth the money. It is also very good to buy a few boxes to take back as a souvenir! Because I couldn&#39;t get up in the morning, it was a pity that I didn&#39;t see the sunrise, but I think with such a beautiful scenery, the sunrise must be pretty good! On Ziyang Peak, we chose horseback riding. Forty yuan can ride for so long, which is also pretty good and worth experiencing! The only regret is that because it is early spring, the grassland has just sprouted tender teeth, and there is no endless green scene. The owner of the hotel said that after the Qingming Festival, the grassland at that time is the real grassland, but it is really good, beautiful, and worth it! I must come again if I have the opportunity, and it will be more beautiful next time I come!

Food:
Senior acne patient, milk-free expert. As a local of Hunan, there is no crazy food, and the things in the scenic area are extremely expensive.
