Hunan Yunyang Mountain| Check in Yunyang "Ten Thousand Steps Staircase"

| Check in Yunyang "Ten Thousand Steps Staircase".👍 Yunyang Mountain is located to the west of Chaling County, with a vast area. Yunyang is named after Shaohao Yunyang, the son of the Yellow Emperor, and it is proven that this was his fiefdom. In addition, it is said that the Yan Emperor Shennong once picked tea and tasted hundreds of herbs on this mountain, which is known as the old city of Shennong. Chaling County belongs to Zhuzhou, Hunan. It is the only county in China named after tea. Why is it called Chaling? Lu Yu explained in "The Classic of Tea": "Yunyang Mountain is Tea Mountain, named after the tea that grows in the valleys", so Yunyang Mountain is also considered the source of the national drink. 𓁷Start climbing the mountain from the mountain road. The initial part of the journey from Chisongxian to Shengui Valley is quite comfortable, as the vegetation in the mountains is dense and the air is high in negative ions, making you feel refreshed. Especially Shengui Rock and Shouquan Waterfall, with cliffs and waterfalls, are indeed beautiful. 𓁷When you reach the entrance of the Thousand Layer Cloud Ladder, you will pass through a large bamboo forest. Unexpectedly, it looks beautiful, but it is a slope of despair, with endless steps and endless roads. After a lot of effort, I finally returned to the main road. Continue along the road, downhill all the way, finally a lot easier. Following a branch of the road, I arrived at Baiyun Temple in the valley, which looks a bit old. 𓁷From Baiyun Temple, pass Zhang Liang's Sword Testing Stone, Wulei Pool, Guanyin Rock, and finally arrive at the Ancient Nanyue Palace. This section of the road is stone steps, with nice scenery. The Ancient Nanyue Palace is a Taoist temple, worshipping the Nanyue Emperor, and Yunyang Mountain is a sacred place where Buddhism and Taoism coexist. 𓁷There is a small road in front of Nanyue Palace, leading all the way down to Chisongxian. Although it is downhill, it is as hard to walk as the Thousand Layer Cloud Ladder. The Iron Tile Pavilion and Chiyun Pavilion on the road are actually just two ordinary rain shelters. 𓁷Walking all the way down, I feel that the best scenery is around Shengui Valley, and other places are mediocre. If it is used as a fitness trail, it is very suitable because the air is really good. 📍Address: West of Chaling County, Zhuzhou, Hunan 👍Recommendation: Shengui Valley, hiking fitness 💰Cost: Ticket 45
