    "Wonderfully peaceful location! Went on a weekend and still very few people. The park is a grassland so make sure you bring sunscreen as you’re exposed most of the time you’re walking around. It’s the perfect place for couples or groups that like both tourist traps and nature. Shooting archery in Hua Milan’s stomping grounds was pretty special and just walking around the fields and escaping the city was very relaxing. I wish I’d had time to ride the horses."

    "Zhong Xiang is obviously the tomb. As the Ming Dynasty imperial tomb, it is not as famous as the Ming Tombs in Beijing and not as famous as the Ming Xiao Tombs in Nanjing, but it is the first Ming Emperor to be selected for the world cultural heritage. It doesn't look like a scenic spot, but it feels solemn."

    218.2km from downtown
    M36***91
    "From Zhongxiang's self-driving past, there are mountain roads along the way, especially difficult to walk. It is recommended to report directly to the group. There is a discount for online booking for scenic spots one day in advance. The cave is still relatively cool, a bit damp, mud is stained on the skirt and legs everywhere. The time to and from the mountain road is longer than the time to play. I feel that I will not go again, mainly because the road is too inconvenient, it is all curves."
    Highlights: Huangxian Cave is located in the southern part of the Dahong Mountain Range. The cave gets its name because, according to legend, Huang Shigong once rested here. On the right side of the cave stands a great hall with a stone pool, which was created by a naturally formed dam of calcified rock. The pool, dam, stalactite said to resemble General Shi Yong from the Water Margin and a three-arched cavern are some of the wondrous sights within.

    "I visited on 5-June, 2021. It was a hot sunny day. The place is nice for a one hour visit. The tower was undergoing painting renovation still we could get into top of the tower. Its not a very bigh tower but from the top of the tower a nice view of lake can be seen."

It was made famous by the author Fan Zhongyan’s Memorial to Yueyang Tower. When you climb the tower, you will overlook the misty and watery expanse of Dongting Lake. If you are familiar with Fan's Memorial to Yueyang Tower, one of its famous lines may echo in your ears: “First be concerned with the worries of the world and then you can rejoice in its joys.” In addition to climbing the tower to gaze into the distance and reflect on ancient times, the architectural structure of the tower itself is also worth a look. The entire structure is built without a single metal nail or support beam.

    "It belongs to the geological park, so it is mainly the mountain scenery and geological scenery. In addition, a long glass plank road and glass bridge are the main features on the mountain. You need to climb many ladders. Generally, you need to continue to walk the ladder to climb up, and you can also walk the stairs down. The "sky land" in the package is relatively pitted. The middle of the two pull-lock bridges is a mirror, which is not good-looking. The sky eye of the cliff is charged separately."
    Highlights: Located where Hunan, Hubei, and Chongqing meet, the Glass Bridge Scenic Area of Shiniuzhai has historically been an important strategic area. In the late days of the Yuan dynasty, peasant leader Tang Kuang led troops here and built fortifications, later recorded by local histories as “Shiniuzhai.” Above Shiniuzhai are limitless views, and below it enticing scenery. It is a geological wonderland of strangely shaped rocks, peaks, and stone caves carved out by nature in so many different forms that the beauty cannot be taken in all at once.
