The "Mist-covered Xiaodongjiang River" offers a dreamy spectacle, with clear water and stunning views of the lake and mountains. | The mist is seasonal (best from April to October), and the wonders of the mist may not be visible in winter. |
Fishermen's net-casting performances are unique, the air in Longjing Canyon is refreshing, the Doushui Island Cave is spectacular, and Dongjiang Lake fish are delicious (such as "One Fish, Four Ways to Eat" and salmon).
The overall scenery is still very beautiful, but the price is a little expensive. I want to cruise the lake but it costs 200 per person, which is really a bit expensive. I hope the price can be adjusted further. I look forward to going there again next time.

The scenic area is mainly an ecosystem surrounding a series of lakes. The ecological environment is very good. It is a reservoir. It is not a naturally formed lake, but a reservoir artificially dug in the 1960s. It reminds people of the revolutionary era in full swing. It is possible to make such a huge project without the premise of capital economic interests. There are a few sparse villages scattered around such a beautiful reservoir, and the original villagers still live there. Because of the resources that attract foreign economy, it has now been developed into a tourist attraction. Although it is not a beautiful scenery that makes people linger, you can feel the traces of decades of time.
The scenery is nice. We took the Dongjiang Lake No. 3. The clear water and blue sky made us feel relaxed and refreshed. When the boat reaches the center of the lake, we can go to the second-floor deck to see the scenery and take pictures. Just wear a life jacket. It's a bit sunny, but not hot. I would recommend it to my friends.

The lake is really beautiful. I felt relaxed and happy as soon as I entered the scenic area. The peacocks were in the wild, and the mother peacock was foraging with four cubs. In short, I want to stay in the scenic area next time and rent an electric car to go around the lake. The beauty of Chenzhou refreshed my cognition.
There are many small animals on Phoenix Island. You can bring your own bread and snacks to feed them. It is very suitable for families traveling with children. The whole island is not big. It takes 15 minutes by boat one way. There are many places suitable for checking in and taking photos.

I went to the scene to watch the show during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The atmosphere was very good, there were many young ladies in ancient costumes, and the show was also very exciting. The 45-minute night cruise on the river was misty, the scenery on both banks was also good, and there were local specialty fruits on the boat. A good night tour and leisure experience!
I brought my family here to experience it yesterday. I didn't expect the experience to be so good. I strongly recommend friends to make an appointment with relatives and friends to come and experience the tranquil beauty that Dongjiang Lake brings at night. The beautiful Hanfu staff are very considerate. The boat is also equipped with free mineral water, local specialty Dongjiang fish, biscuits and other snacks. KTV speakers are thoughtfully prepared. We had a great time while eating and playing. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
