Yueyang Tower is easily accessible; it's a 12-kilometer, 30-minute taxi ride from Yueyang East Railway Station. Stamp collectors should bring a notebook; there are 26 stamps to collect throughout the scenic area, distributed across various smaller attractions. Xiao Qiao's Tomb is also located there. Climbing Yueyang Tower offers panoramic views of Dongting Lake. Literature enthusiasts can explore the various exhibition halls to gain a deeper understanding of the classic poem, "The Yueyang Tower Inscription."
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.

We arrived at Yuelu Mountain early in the morning. The guide contacted us a day in advance and arranged a meeting point. His explanation was incredibly detailed; skipping it would have been a wasted trip. The crowds were still quite large this morning, though I only saw the Aiwan Pavilion from a distance. The scenery was beautiful during the hike, and Lushan Temple was tranquil. Outside the entrance, a few young people were setting up stalls, selling two small porcelain bowls with a ring for 20 yuan. The hike wasn't tiring, but we stopped frequently. We visited the tombs of Cai E and Huang Xing, and then descended by cable car. It wasn't crowded at noon, so we didn't have to wait. Once we reached the base, the crowds at the East Gate were so numerous we were glad we'd gotten up early. The fragrance of osmanthus flowers permeated the air along Yuelu Mountain in autumn, creating a refreshing and pleasant breeze.
Yuelu College: one of the four major colleges in ancient China, founded in the Northern Song Dynasty in 976, located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha City, Hunan Province, is now the School of History and Philosophy of Hunan University. Yuelu College has been developed for thousands of years. It was founded by Tanzhou Taishou Zhudong during the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhu Ying and Zhang Ying in the Southern Song Dynasty carried out "Zhu Zhanghui Talk" here, becoming an important dissemination place of science and science. It was changed to Hunan Higher School in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was officially named Hunan University in 1926. It has been used to this day.

We spent eight hours there and still couldn't get enough. The facilities are new, the scenery is beautiful, there aren't many people, the lines aren't long, there are shows to watch, and the food is affordable. Hunan TV is right next to it, and when we got out at almost 10 pm, we still had food at Pizza Hut, and it was only 40 yuan per person, plus gifts. I highly recommend planning a full day with your kids to have fun!

The underwater world is very fun. There are different animals, different performances, and many recreational projects. Feel the difference. Wear beautiful clothes in summer to take pictures. 📸📸📸📸
This is the best show I've ever seen. The explanation is very professional. The Tuan Tuan from Ocean World is super cute. The trainer is also great. I bought VIP seats to watch the show and the experience was amazing! ! ! I also had my passport stamped. I had a lot of fun. I would also come to the night show if I had the chance. It's cool and fun.

Mingyue Mountain is very high. The Moon Lake and the Sea of Waterfall on the mountain are both over 1,500 meters high, so the cable car to Mingyue Mountain is divided into two sections: upper and lower. The Qingyun Plank Road on Mingyue Mountain is built on the cliff and is 3,100 meters long. The waterfalls on Mingyue Mountain are also very good, among which the Yungu Waterfall is the highest and most beautiful.
Mingyue Mountain is very high, with Moon Lake on it reaching over 1,500 meters above sea level. This is why the Mingyue Mountain Cableway has two sections: an upper section and a lower section. The Qingyun Plank Road, built on a cliff, offers pleasant views but also a dangerous experience. Mingyue Mountain boasts several waterfalls, of which the Yungu Waterfall is the highest and most beautiful.

I'll definitely be back with my kids next time. This place is perfect for a family outing. After entering the park, my kids had so much fun that I couldn't stop them. They were wearing the little dinosaur costumes provided by the scenic area and paraded around the scenic area. They were so cute. The special effects in the scenic area were also very good, with petals, bubbles, smoke, and flames. It was really well-made. With so much fun for just one ticket, it's no wonder they say it's a "must-see"! It's definitely worth it!
I initially thought the entrance fee was a bit pricey, but afterward, I exclaimed it was totally worth it! I saw the top-notch show "Zhangjiajie Eternal Love," had a super cool foam and water splashing experience, watched a thrilling fire pot show, interacted with NPCs playing mini-games and won tons of silver bills, which I redeemed for a blind box gift. I also enjoyed the street performances... The entertainment was so plentiful and intense, it was a non-stop experience from opening to closing!

We Love the place, staffs very polite and friendly, one of the best theme park ❤
The facilities throughout Fantawild are made of genuine materials and are well-maintained. The floor, in particular, is smooth but not slippery, which I really enjoyed. We visited all three parks, each with a different theme. They all featured games and performances, with real people, sound and light, animation, and immersive experiences. My favorite performance was the I Ching, and my favorite game was Fly With Me.

As Halloween approaches, Fantawild's Halloween event has begun. There are many activities and parades, and there are many handsome NPCs. They are enthusiastic and generous, will take the initiative to find the camera, and actively interact with tourists. The experience is good and worth a thumbs up 👍
Some attractions, like the airplane ride next to the flying boat, are prone to queue-jumping. I hope the staff can maintain order at the front. When we were almost in line, two children behind us rushed in, and their parents didn't intervene and followed suit. I hope your videos of fights at scenic spots won't appear next time during National Day. Of course, it could also be due to staff shortages.
During the fireworks display, a group of performers, all standing tall and proud, held national flags. Among them was a dashing young man with blond hair and a baggy red suit. I suggest replacing him with someone with undyed hair or just using a foreigner. Personally, I think black hair is better for such patriotic flag-waving moments.
The ice cream is unique. So are the various settings. There's a Republican-era Hong Kong street, the revolutionary-era People's Canteen, and antique spires. The park is well-developed.
