Guangdong is so hot during the summer vacation that I want to escape.
My girlfriend and I decided to go to Chenzhou, Hunan for a two-day and one-night tour.
We took a boat to play in the water, see the Danxia landforms, and eat authentic Chenzhou food.
We directly experienced it.

🌈【Attractions】
✔️Feitian Mountain
Feitian Mountain is really a treasure attraction. You can enjoy the super beautiful water Danxia landforms without climbing the mountain. Sitting on the cruise ship, the Danxia peaks and rocks on both sides are like walking into a landscape painting, and it is also very cool. There is no need to worry about the heat in the summer. 🌞
✔️Longweiping
A small and small scenic spot with beautiful scenery and few people is simply a paradise! Hiking along the stream, you will see lush greenery 🌳 Perfect for summer blockbuster shooting
✔️ Shenxianzhai
A good place for hiking and oxygen absorption, along the way, you can see cloud snakes coming out of caves and golden toads looking at immortals
Standing on the 🌅 observation deck, you can see the beautiful Cuijiang River at a glance, with a super wide field of vision. There are also lounge chairs and swings inside. When you are tired of playing, you can sit down and blow the wind, which is comfortable~
✔️ Long Scroll Cultural Tourism Resort
Ancient and quaint buildings are preserved here. Hunan Intangible Cultural Heritage Street allows you to immerse yourself in Hunan's history and culture. The lantern corridor and Chenzi sculptures have amazing film effects
✔️ Dongjiang Lake White Corridor
Known as the "Little Erhai Lake in Hunan", rent a car to ride around the lake, the lake breeze blows gently, the sparkling lake surface and the continuous green mountains in the distance, every frame can be used as wallpaper!
🥗【Food】
The hotel owner recommended the Hunan restaurant #微拾味(艾莲湖店)[poi_v2]# where locals have been eating for more than ten years
📍Address: about 50 meters west of the intersection of Duishang Road and Chenjiang Road, Beihu District, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province
As soon as you enter the store, it is the kind of down-to-earth style, with spacious seats and private rooms, which is suitable for family gatherings or small gatherings with friends
The taste of their dishes is very authentic!
✔️Highly recommend the fish soup with rice, which is so fragrant that it makes your eyebrows fall off. The spicy and thick soup made with Dongjiang ecological fish, and the rice🍚I even showed off three bowls!
✔️The beef in the Martin beef tendon is spicy and chewy, and it is really amazing with the sweet and spicy cassava syrup. Guangdong people say they love it!
✔️The pepper and preserved egg rice is the soul!
✔️Yellow glutinous rice cake, a Chenzhou specialty! Soft and delicious, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is
Students can get a roast chicken with their admission ticket in July, and the store also offers a 0-yuan snack activity
🔥Travel Tips:
1. The scenic spots in Chenzhou are relatively scattered, so it is recommended to take a taxi or charter a car. It is more cost-effective to charter a car with more people.
2. There are many mosquitoes in Feitian Mountain, so bring mosquito repellent spray.
3.⚠️Chenzhou will open tickets for popular attractions above 4A level to graduates of 2025 from July 1st to August 31st, including 16 scenic spots such as Dongjiang Lake, Yangtian Lake Prairie, and Mangshan Five Finger Peak. Cars, boats, cableways, and sightseeing elevators in the scenic spots are also half-price. Students must not miss this wave of benefits!

Before coming to Chenzhou, my best friend from Guangdong province kept recommending Wei Shi Wei 🤤 to me, saying it was her top restaurant in Chenzhou. She's a local who's been eating there for over a decade, and she couldn't stop thinking about it after her last visit. This time, I specifically chose the Wuling Plaza branch 🏠. The instant I walked in, the aroma was instantly breathtaking, and the bustling atmosphere made me feel like I was dining at home. It turns out they have several branches in Chenzhou, including Wanhua and Ailian Lake. They're incredibly popular with locals! 👏 - The menu is truly amazing! Don't miss any blind spots! 💯: 🍤 Lemongrass-scented prawns: The shell is crispy and fragrant, and the meat has a subtle lemongrass aroma. It's so fresh I couldn't stop licking my fingers. 🍡 Yellow glutinous rice cake: Crispy and chewy, one bite is enough to make you feel incredibly happy. 🥩 Traditional chopped pepper dragon ball: Incredibly spicy without any heartburn. Even someone with a Guangdong stomach like me loves it! A thoughtful little bonus! 🉑 Save and check in and you can choose one of four options. I chose the cassava soup 🍨. It was icy and refreshing, relieving the spiciness and making the finale perfect. 📍Chenzhou Wei Shi Wei Wuling Square Branch | Wanhua Branch | Ailian Lake Branch For those visiting Chenzhou, this local-owned, time-honored restaurant is definitely worth a visit! 🚗💨 #ChangshaNearbyTours #ChenzhouTravel #GuangdongNearbyTours #LocalRecommendations #WhereToGoThisWeekend
Good to hear! This summer 🌞 Chenzhou is offering a huge bonus for the Class of 2025 nationwide! 🆓 Students are invited to visit 16 4A+ scenic spots, including Dongjiang Lake and Yangtian Lake. Even the entrance fees within the scenic areas are 50% off! - Hurry up and follow me, the travel expert! ✌️ This time, I'll be departing from Guangzhou South Station 🚅 Chenzhou West Station. From there, I can 🚗 directly go to Wei Shiwei (Wuling Square Branch). This over-decade-old establishment has a unique decor that evokes a sense of youth! 😚 First, fill up on a meal! 🤤 I love lemongrass shrimp 🦐, traditional chopped pepper lobster 🐂, and garlic sea bass 🐟. This month's graduating students 🎓 can get a roast chicken with their admission ticket/diploma 🆓. Bring your younger siblings along! Save enough energy for outdoor photography the next day! 📷 I recommend starting with Yangtian Lake Grassland, where you can feed deer 🦌, go grass skiing, and ride the miniature train. Wear your best clothes and take photos! Then, head to Mahuangqiu ⛰️. The S-shaped road is stunning, as are all the other students in the class. And then there's Gaoyiling, the Danxia landform I've seen in geography textbooks since I was a kid. It's truly awe-inspiring! - On day three, remember to get up early and check in at Xiaodongjiang River. The mist floating on the river is truly dreamlike. Seeing fishermen casting their nets is like stepping into a beautiful ink painting. 💗 Why not bring your siblings to Chenzhou? ✌️ #ChenzhouMinds #ChenzhouTravel #ChenzhouTravelGuide #ChenzhouFood #LocalRecommendations #ChangshaNearbyTravel #HunanCookingRecommendations #TraditionalRestaurants
This trip to Chenzhou truly relaxed me. I walked, photographed, and ate—a truly blissful experience! My phone albums are overflowing! 🗺 Tour Route Day 1 | Xiaodongjiang → Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon → Longweiping 🌫 Xiaodongjiang: We set off at 5 AM, standing on the plank road and watching the morning mist drift by. The moment the fishermen cast their nets was like a frozen ink painting. 🏞 Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon: The rock walls tower, and as the wind blows through the canyon, a cool breeze and the smell of earth wash over us. ⛵ Longweiping: Chenzhou's version of Little Guilin. Floating slowly on a bamboo raft, even breathing becomes effortless. Day 2 | Yangtian Lake Grassland → Suxianling → Beihu Park Night View 🦌 Yangtian Lake: The fawn was incredibly docile. When I knelt down to feed it, it came right up to the camera, smiling so hard I couldn't stop. ⛰ Suxianling: The breeze was so comfortable as the cable car ascended, and the panoramic views from the summit were breathtaking. 🌃 Beihu Park: The night view was so romantic we walked around the lake twice and didn't want to leave. - 🍴 Must-try Hunan Restaurant: Wei Shiwei (Wuling Square Branch) This established restaurant has been around for over a decade, with branches in Chenzhou, including Ailian Lake and Wanhua. The courtyard is nestled under a large camphor tree, surrounded by lush greenery. The moment you sit down, you're transported back to your childhood. 💛 Lemongrass-crusted prawns: The meat was so chewy and fragrant with a refreshing lemongrass aroma that I even sucked the shells clean. 💛 Yellow glutinous rice cake: Glutinous and sweet without being greasy, just like the ones my grandmother used to make when I was little. 💛 Traditional chopped pepper dragon ball: One bite instantly awakens your taste buds, and it's absolutely perfect with rice. 💛 Salted egg yolk taro shreds: Salty, fragrant, and crispy, I devoured half a plate by myself. 💛 Garlic Sea Bass: Tender meat with a rich garlic flavor that even the fish soup was gone. 💛 Grandma Tao's Braised Pork Rice: The braised pork and rice were rich but not greasy, so I ordered an extra bowl. 🎁 Bonus (choose one of four): Lemon tea, cassava syrup, dried orchid, ice jelly, or a side fan. We chose the lemon tea, which was icy and refreshing, and lasted a second. - 🚗 Tips • Arrive early to avoid crowds and take more natural photos. • The scenery along the self-drive route is stunning, and it's easily accessible by high-speed rail. - Chenzhou is truly a great weekend getaway: beautiful scenery, easy photography, and authentic food. A trip here is truly a relaxing getaway. 💛 - #ChenzhouMicroTaste #ChenzhouTravel #ChenzhouFood #WhereToWeekend #GuangdongTravel
