    All the scenic spots in Chenzhou are great, with beautiful natural landscapes and delicious Hunan cuisine. The Dongjiang fish, braised chicken, and blood duck are all excellent. Thanks to A-Jie from Dongya Apartment for helping us plan our itinerary and book discounted tickets for the scenic spots, which saved us time and money. We will definitely stay at Dongya Apartment again next time we come to Chenzhou!

    Gaoyiling, a place whose true beauty speaks for itself! I dare say, once you've seen it, the magnificent panorama of red cliffs, emerald waters, and crimson clouds will undoubtedly become the most stunning cover image in your phone's photo album. This isn't the gentle water towns of Jiangnan, but a wonderland where the ruggedness and colors of the earth are magnified infinitely. Walking along the "Dragon's Backbone," with bare, continuous mountain ridges beneath your feet and steep cliffs and emerald lakes on either side, every step feels like strolling on clouds, your heart pounding with the breathtaking scenery. The steps of the Sky Ladder may be physically demanding, but as you conquer them, the breathtaking panorama before you instantly washes away all fatigue. The suspended walkway (if open) offers an exceptional vantage point, allowing you to embrace this masterpiece of nature from every angle. It's also worth mentioning that the experiences offered here are quite abundant. Whether you're looking for thrills like Via Ferrata climbing and ziplining, or a more leisurely experience with the cliff swing and cloud mirror viewing platform, there's something for everyone. I personally tried the ziplining; the speed and exhilaration of plunging down from the heights, combined with the breathtaking mountain scenery, are definitely worth the experience! The only downside might be the intense sun! The entire scenic area offers virtually no shade, so sun protection is essential. Hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing are indispensable, and it's best to avoid the midday sun. Overall, Gaoyiling is the kind of top-tier geological wonder you absolutely can't miss if you're already there. It may not have many recreational facilities, but its pristine, wild, and magnificent beauty is enough to let you feel the purest power of nature. I highly recommend it to all nature lovers, hikers, and photographers. Trust me, it will become one of the most unforgettable spots on your trip.

    It was a pretty good experience, not as tiring as Gaoyiling. There's a sightseeing bus to the top, and you can hike the rest of the way on your own. However, many of the routes are dead ends, meaning you have to backtrack, and the options for avoiding backtracking are very limited. I hope the scenic area can further develop its infrastructure, even if it means raising the ticket price.

    It's worth going during the day. We decided to go on a whim, arriving at 5 PM but not quite reaching our destination until 6 PM. The staff asked if we wanted to continue, and we did. However, many rides had already closed. Only a few theaters and the roller coaster were truly enjoyable. Because it was Halloween night, there were many scary elements, and the sounds were quite frightening. We were too scared to go into the haunted house and didn't get to experience much of the rides, but we were definitely frightened by the music. The roller coaster was very safe and stable. Recommended.

    Strolling through Ganzhou's Song Dynasty City, bluestone pavements lit by red lanterns, the brickwork of the ancient city walls holding thousands of years of history, truly embodied the allure of the saying, "Ganzhou itself, half a step into the history of the Song Dynasty." The most captivating moment was a guzheng performance. As the lights came on, the sound of music drifted through the crowd. The players, dressed in Song Dynasty attire, blended their fingertips with the silhouettes of ancient memorial archways, creating a sense of transport back to the bustling streets of the Song Dynasty. Pausing to listen, the surrounding hustle and bustle faded into the background, leaving only the guzheng's melodies echoing off the eaves. Combined with the nearby calligraphy exhibitions and intangible cultural heritage stalls, the atmosphere was filled with the charm of the Song Dynasty, a moment that became the most unforgettable memory of the entire trip.

    Qili Ancient Town is located in Zhanggong District, Ganzhou City. It has a history of more than 1,200 years. It is the "first town of the thousand-mile Ganjiang River". It has been renovated and now has a very good environment. It has a profound cultural heritage. Relying on the four cultural essences of "porcelain kiln, drum transportation, temple fair, and Hakka", it has Qili Kiln, one of the four major kilns in Jiangnan during the Song Dynasty, and many historical sites such as 18 ancient docks, Xianniang Temple, and Zhuangyuan Temple. The 400-meter "Cross Street" in the ancient town reproduces the old market style, and the traditional folk festivals are rich and colorful. At present, there are live programs every moment from 4:30 pm to 21:00 pm. It is recommended to move with the program group after entering the park to see the different styles of different periods, and the interpretation of characters and scenes is very good.

    This is a very interesting scenic spot, representing one of the most representative areas of Danxia landforms. It's worth a visit, with beautiful views by land, water, and air. However, the scenic area is not very well developed, resulting in low visitor numbers. The climb is quite challenging, making it unsuitable for the elderly and children. Transportation and value for money are also not ideal.
