Gaoyiling scenic area, Chenzhou, Hunan
Getting There - Taxi or car from Chenzhou takes about 30 minutes. Close to Fetian mountain.
Attractions - Scenic views, hiking trails, small rural village with a chicken farm, glass bridge
Hotels - none close by, closest in Chenzhou
Food & Restaurants - small stands selling water and snacks but no restaurants.
Gaoyiling scenic area is an amazing place for walking and hiking and seeing awesome views. The landscape is interbedded red sandstone hills with steep drops into rivers and small lakes surrounding. The views are simply awe inspiring. When walking around here I would recommend a sun umbrella, sun screen and lots of water. You can buy water and other drinks here from the locals. There is a 20RMB charge to enter the hiking trails. When high on some hills take extreme caution near edges as the drop offs are steep and lethal, some are not fenced off. The only downside is the hills have quite a lot of trash so make sure to take yours home with you and be a good tourist. It's also extremely hot here in peak summer so maybe avoid that time of year.

Visit hours: 2-3 hours
Best time: 4- 7 PM, when it's not too hot but also can enjoy nice sunset.

Dongjiang Lake, Chenzhou, Hunan
Dongjiang Lake is a huge area with tons of things to see, do and explore. When entering you can buy tickets which include bus and boat and rafting tickets. The bus takes you past a dam and to the main area with restaurants and shops. You can then walk to some of the waterfalls and shorter paths. The boat from there takes you to the island after a 20 min cruise where you can do more walks or go into the huge limestone karst cave which you can see in my pictures is truly spectacular. There is an option of white water rafting on the other side of the lake which I didn't try.
The cave was the biggest highlight for me, it was cool and damp and the paths lead you up and down and around the maze like cave for about a 20-30 minute walk. There are bats on the ceiling and huge limestone features everywhere lit up by multicoloured lights. It's like an alien world and something that no pictures do justice. The cave is very large and at the end of the path you can buy souvenirs.
In dongjiang lake I would recommend trying some local small spicy fish snacks.

Xiaodong River Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
XiaoDongJiang|The Charm of Mist
XiaoDongJiang(小东江), located Dongjiang Town, Zixing City in Chenzhou, Hunan Provine, is renounced for its 12 km geographic beauty amidst the mist because of the temperature differences.
🗓Best months for visit: April - November
⏰Time: 5:30-9:00 AM
🎫Fee: 80 RMB- Ticket + round trip of tour bus
🙆What to enjoy:
* the mystery landscape in the mist
* Fishman casting a net
* Lights flashing on the river
* Open view of DongJiang
* Waterfall while hiking
* Cycling along the river
* Some DongJiang fish
#waterfall#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
Chenzhou, what does the Xiao Dongjiang you photographed look like?
Chenzhou Surrounding Tour—Dongjiang Lake
Location📍: Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area
Ticket🎫: Lake-viewing Line (Premium Route 1): 85 RMB per person, includes Xiao Dongjiang, Longjing Canyon two attractions and round-trip shuttle bus within the scenic area; Lake-touring Line (Premium Route 2): 188 RMB per person, includes Xiao Dongjiang, Longjing Canyon, Dongjiang Lake cruise, Doushuai Lingyan Cave and round-trip shuttle bus within the scenic area. It seems that the prices vary in peak and off-peak seasons, it's recommended to check multiple ticketing platforms as there might be discounts, and after purchasing tickets, you can enter directly by scanning your ID card.
Transportation🚘: It's recommended to take a taxi or drive yourself, chartering a car can save trouble (relatively more expensive, it's better to compare several companies), there are also buses from the high-speed rail station to Zixing, but taking public transport might be more troublesome as it requires transfers.
Travel Tips:
1️⃣It's suggested to stay overnight near the scenic area in advance, so you can go out early the next day to have breakfast nearby, and then go to Dongjiang Lake to see the mist and watch the fishermen cast their nets. Try to enter as early as possible, the accommodation owner told us that the scenic area opens at 6 am, and when we entered around 7 am, there were already many people.
2️⃣Find a good spot in advance before the fishermen start casting nets, remember to take continuous shots, I didn't think of it at the time, and by the time I did, they had already stopped casting.
3️⃣If you want to climb the Longjing Canyon mountain trail, it's still recommended to wear sports shoes, as there are quite a few steps. Take your time and walk around for about an hour, you can bring some water and snacks. If you're not in good physical condition, it's not recommended, or you can choose another path that doesn't go up the mountain
Wonderland is not a fantasy, it falls with the wind in the human world/Xiaodongjiang
The morning mist is like a sweet dream, all around is silent, the crescent moon is like a hook, and on the quiet river surface, a layer of milky white mist spreads out evenly, thick and heavy, like a soft velvet cotton quilt, covering the murmuring Xiaodongjiang tightly, looking warm and cozy; it's also like a surprise snowfall that quietly descends in the middle of the night, waiting to give the waking Xiaodongjiang an unexpected surprise. And the people on the shore, constantly pressing the camera shutter, keep silent and still, for fear of disturbing that hazy dream. As the weather brightens and the temperature rises, the calm mist begins to float and disperse, first like faint light smoke, curling and swaying, spreading around, then like thin cicada wings, dancing in the air, and later, it turns into white clouds, drifting and elusive, rendering the mountains and forests on both sides into elegant ink paintings of the Song and Yuan dynasties, with appropriate shades of light and dark.
Netizens really know that when they go to Chenzhou in the future, they will stay at this riverside B&B!
Sisters near Guangzhou and Shenzhen occasionally want to go on a vacation to relax
Chenzhou's Xiao Dongjiang is so comfortable, just got back and thinking about a second visit
It's only 1.5 hours by high-speed train from Guangzhou South!! Even faster than going to Chaozhou😭
🚙Located near the Xiao Dongjiang scenic area, it's very convenient for travel👍
The warm B&B design style, each room type is different
Booked a first-floor twin room, the super large floor-to-ceiling windows are super nice
Lying down, you can see the natural landscape of Xiao Dongjiang
Waking up in the morning to the misty river and strolling with the person you like
