Fall Viewing Attractions

Book online in advance and enter directly by swiping your ID card, which is very convenient. This trip focuses on a leisurely vacation and not rushing to visit attractions, so I didn't enter the site early and missed the foggy Xiaodong River and the fisherman casting his net. It's a little regretful, but I will come again next time.

It&#39;s a little regretful, but I will come again next time.

The scenery is beautiful, with fog covering the Xiaodongjiang River, a paradise on earth. If you have time, you must walk there. Staying at the Yishang Hotel at the entrance of the Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area is perfect. It is only a few minutes&#39; walk away, so you can sleep a little longer.

The lake tour is worth it. Dongjiang Lake is beautiful and clean. The cave on Doushuai Island is huge. On the Longjing Canyon floating bridge, you can see fish swimming in the green water up close.

It&#39;s like in a painting! It&#39;s pure karst landform. I went out early in the morning and took the bus to the second platform to watch the fishermen cast their nets. It was beautiful even without the fog. Then we took the bus directly to the last stop, the cruise ship pier, and took the first cruise ship at 8:10 while enjoying the beautiful scenery of half mountain and half lake. It took about half an hour to reach the Dousita Cave. I have seen various caves with my parents since I was a child, but this is the first island in the lake, the mountain in the island, and the scenery of the big cave in the mountain. It&#39;s beyond my imagination. It takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour to play in it. It&#39;s beautiful to walk and take pictures! After exiting the cave, turn left and follow the lake tour path to catch the first return cruise ship. After returning to the cruise ship terminal, we went to the waterfalls. Because it was early, many groups had not come in yet, so it was not crowded and there was no need to see the crowds. It was very comfortable. We were a couple with one over 70 and one over 65. We didn&#39;t need tickets, only the shuttle bus and cruise ticket, which was almost half the price! The price-performance ratio was quite high, and my parents were also very happy because we lived next to the scenic spot. After lunch, we went back to sleep and continued to play in other places in the afternoon!

Dongjiang Lake is well worth a visit. Here are some of its highlights:

1. Foggy Xiaodongjiang River: From April to October every year, due to the &quot;temperature difference effect&quot; of water temperature, a large amount of water mist will be generated on the river surface, and the clouds and mist are like a fairyland. Fishermen casting their nets in the fog, the turquoise river water and drifting fishing boats form a beautiful ink painting, making this a world-famous photography destination.

2. Dongjiang Dam: The first hyperbolic thin-shell arch dam designed and constructed by China. It ranks second among similar dams in the world and first in Asia. The dam is 157 meters high. Standing on the top of the dam and overlooking the lake area, the water and sky are one color and the scenery is magnificent.

3. Longjing Canyon: It integrates tourism, leisure and health, and water entertainment. It has the largest waterfall group in the south - Longjing Eighteen Waterfalls, as well as the Longjing Water Slide, which is known as &quot;China&#39;s No. 1 Outdoor Water Slide&quot; and the largest natural oxygen bar in China. Visitors can enjoy the view of waterfalls of various shapes and feel the coolness and comfort.

4. Tushita Lingyan: Hidden in the ancient Tushita Temple under the cliff on the south side of Tushita Island, it has a history of more than 2.7 million years and is famous for its height, size, depth, spaciousness and strangeness. The stalactites in the cave are of various shapes and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

5. Dongjiang Lake Rafting: The rafting route has a large drop and fast currents. The entire journey is 15 kilometers, passing through canyons and jungles along the way. You can experience the thrill of rafting while enjoying the primitive forests and strange rocks on both sides of the river. It is known as the &quot;No. 1 Rafting in the South.&quot;

6. Surrounding Danxia landforms: The Gaoyiling Danxia landforms around Dongjiang Lake have steep mountains like a knife, smooth lines and bright colors, which contrast beautifully with the emerald green Dongjiang Lake, forming a rare landscape of coexistence of lakes and Danxia.

The scenic area is mainly an ecosystem surrounding a series of lakes. The ecological environment is very good. It is a reservoir. It is not a naturally formed lake, but a reservoir artificially dug in the 1960s. It reminds people of the revolutionary era in full swing. It is possible to make such a huge project without the premise of capital economic interests. There are a few sparse villages scattered around such a beautiful reservoir, and the original villagers still live there. Because of the resources that attract foreign economy, it has now been developed into a tourist attraction. Although it is not a beautiful scenery that makes people linger, you can feel the traces of decades of time.

The scenery is nice. We took the Dongjiang Lake No. 3. The clear water and blue sky made us feel relaxed and refreshed. When the boat reaches the center of the lake, we can go to the second-floor deck to see the scenery and take pictures. Just wear a life jacket. It&#39;s a bit sunny, but not hot. I would recommend it to my friends.

Actually, I didn&#39;t go to Bailang. It was similar to the 188 package boat, which went around the island for 50 minutes. But this one didn&#39;t go to the island, which wasted 70 yuan. I hope the scenic spot can be written more clearly in the future.

Bailang is a small town on the bank of Dongjiang Lake. In recent years, it has been developed into a free tourist attraction, known as the &quot;Little Erhai Lake&quot;. The town is very small. You can take a boat to visit Dongjiang Lake and visit Phoenix Island at the dock. The boat ticket is cheaper than that on Xiaodongjiang. You can rent an electric bike to ride along the lakeside road for 20 yuan/h to enjoy the lake and island scenery of Dongjiang Lake. However, the transportation is a little inconvenient. I heard that there is a tourist bus from Chenzhou West Station to Bailang, but the frequency is very small. You can also take a bus from Zixing to Xingning, and then take a motorcycle from Xingning to Bailang.
