The tourist response was not good. The scenery was nice, and it was more about humanities. In fact, it was almost like a large park. It was my first time here and I didn't know how to get there. The person at the visitor center told us to drive directly to the Wuliu Town parking lot to avoid the shuttle bus fee. The bus in the scenic area can be used for a day for 20 yuan and can be hopped on and off at any time. The scenic area is very large, so it is recommended to take a sightseeing bus or rent a sightseeing bus (60 yuan/hour) for convenience.
The live-action performance of "Peach Blossom Spring," based on Tao Yuanming's idyllic paradise, fuses modern stage technology with traditional art to recreate a fisherman's magical journey to the Peach Blossom Spring. Set amidst natural landscapes, with authentic valleys and streams as the backdrop, the stage design adheres to the concept of "hiding within nature." Bamboo-fenced huts are scattered throughout the peach forest, allowing the audience to walk along the stream, each step evoking the thrill of exploration, "at first narrow, only then accessible." The lighting design utilizes a bionic lighting system, employing 3,000 intelligent lamps to simulate the cycle of day and night. The vibrant scene of falling petals is animated by a swarm of drones carrying fluorescent petals. The meticulous calculation of 17 petals per square centimeter ensures the visual effect perfectly aligns with the original text's "lush grass and vibrant falling petals."

Adults are 180, children are 120, and self-driving tickets are 150, with a total cost of 990, which is a bit expensive. However, the children's playground in the park is free, and you can feed and interact with the animals at close range. You can ride the frog jump, rainbow slide, bumper cars, wading hikes, etc. You can prepare carrots in advance to feed the animals. It's just that the weather is a bit hot and the animals are indoors or in the shade of trees to avoid the heat, so it is suitable for spring and autumn visits.

The willow leaf lake, which is21.8 square kilometers northeast of Changde City, is known as the "first lake in China's city", such as an emerald inlaid in the city map. East to Dongting, west to Wuling, Liuye Lake anchored the attitude of Endeavour in the coordinates of the new era, and painted a new picture of the cultural tourism of "sports, music, living, well-being, happiness".
Changde Liuye Lake is the core tourist resort of Changde City, Hunan Province. It integrates natural scenery, human history, sports events and music culture, and is known as the "No. 1 Lake in Chinese Cities".
Along the lake, there are fisherman and woodcutter cultural relics and a group of sculptures themed on the Battle of Changde; Dahe Street, Xiaohe Street and Mayang Street are national-level tourist and leisure districts, integrating ancient buildings and intangible cultural heritage.
When Liu Yuxi was exiled to Changde (ancient Langzhou), he wrote "Humble House Inscription", and Sima Tower was built on the lakeside to commemorate him. Myths and legends such as "Liu Hai Cutting Wood" and "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" are circulated.
