Danxia Platform@Gaoyiling, Hunan

Safety matters😊 #travellater #travelinspiration #travelphotography #travelwithgeo #wanderlust #hunan #danxia #chenzhou #gaoyiling

Gaoyiling scenic area, Chenzhou, Hunan

Getting There - Taxi or car from Chenzhou takes about 30 minutes. Close to Fetian mountain. Attractions - Scenic views, hiking trails, small rural village with a chicken farm, glass bridge Hotels - none close by, closest in Chenzhou Food & Restaurants - small stands selling water and snacks but no restaurants. Gaoyiling scenic area is an amazing place for walking and hiking and seeing awesome views. The landscape is interbedded red sandstone hills with steep drops into rivers and small lakes surrounding. The views are simply awe inspiring. When walking around here I would recommend a sun umbrella, sun screen and lots of water. You can buy water and other drinks here from the locals. There is a 20RMB charge to enter the hiking trails. When high on some hills take extreme caution near edges as the drop offs are steep and lethal, some are not fenced off. The only downside is the hills have quite a lot of trash so make sure to take yours home with you and be a good tourist. It's also extremely hot here in peak summer so maybe avoid that time of year. #staycation #mountainview

GaoYi Ridge|Stunning Danxia Landform

GaoYi Ridge(高椅岭), located in GaoYi Village, Chenzhou, Hunan Province, China, is famous for its stunning red cliffs and brooks with greenery. If lucky enough, you can see some wild goats. There are some steep stairs, but you won't feel tired at all with such amazing views. Visit hours: 2-3 hours Best time: 4- 7 PM, when it's not too hot but also can enjoy nice sunset. Tips: * You may be surprised by it's beauty when first arrive, but the most beautiful part is on the peak. * If you have a drone, highly suggested to bring it so that you can take a whole and fantastic view of GaoYi Ridge, but do watch out and step out the ridge. * If taking pics, watch out of the steep cliffs. * Pls bring your own trash to the dustbin. #hiking#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Misty Dongjiang Lake (东江湖)

Dongjiang Lake, a reservoir located in Chenzhou, southeast of Hunan Province. Worth experiencing a combination of lakes, dams, mountains and caves with waterfalls and forests. The largest artificial lake in Hunan situated at Zixing (so be prepared to spend a whole day after entering into the scenic spot😁) Attractions - Misty “Little” Dongjiang River, Dongjiang Dam, Hougushan Waterfall and Longjing Canyon Specialty - Dongjiang fish; one of the four special products in Chenzhou and Chuyun Fairy Tea(black tea actually 😅) Opening Hours - 07:00-17:30 #thisischina #travelinspiration #travelphotography #travelwithgeo #hunan #chinatravel #landscapephotography

Dongjiang Lake, Chenzhou, Hunan

Dongjiang Lake is a huge area with tons of things to see, do and explore. When entering you can buy tickets which include bus and boat and rafting tickets. The bus takes you past a dam and to the main area with restaurants and shops. You can then walk to some of the waterfalls and shorter paths. The boat from there takes you to the island after a 20 min cruise where you can do more walks or go into the huge limestone karst cave which you can see in my pictures is truly spectacular. There is an option of white water rafting on the other side of the lake which I didn't try. The cave was the biggest highlight for me, it was cool and damp and the paths lead you up and down and around the maze like cave for about a 20-30 minute walk. There are bats on the ceiling and huge limestone features everywhere lit up by multicoloured lights. It's like an alien world and something that no pictures do justice. The cave is very large and at the end of the path you can buy souvenirs. In dongjiang lake I would recommend trying some local small spicy fish snacks. #mountainview #staycation

Life advice: When in Chenzhou, you must take a ride on the space elevator

If the scenes from the movie 'The Wandering Earth' were real, I think they must be hidden here. The cliff elevator, built at an altitude of 1600 meters, connects the magnificent mountains. After being covered with heavy snow, it really resembles the apocalyptic feel of the movie, which is very shocking. There is also a mountain cable car🚡, crossing over the mountains⛰️ and shuttling through the sea of clouds, which is truly indescribably beautiful. ❗️The key point is: you don't have to climb this mountain - ▪️This is the Mangshan Wuzhifeng⛰️ in Chenzhou, Hunan, at the junction of Guangzhou and Hunan. It's a 1.5h high-speed train ride from Guangdong, or a 3-4h drive🚗. You can easily enjoy the freedom of seeing snow and take in the spectacular mountain ranges and sea of clouds, which is very worthwhile whether it's snowy or not. - ✅When leaving, I also saw the 'Ice and Snow Yao Year' event at the tourist center, with dragon dance performances, Qinglong parade, Yao costume dance show, and flying songs from February 11-16! Really looking forward to it! I'm already thinking about visiting Mangshan for the third time. - ✅Recommended check-in spots ❶Motianling Elevator: It really has the feel of a space elevator, a transparent elevator shuttling through the clouds, worth a ride for 40💰, saving you from walking 666 steps. ❷Cliff Plank Walk: Mostly flat paths, and if you encounter a sea of clouds, it's like a fairyland ❸Xiaotiantai: A great place to take in the entire mountain range and also to watch the sunrise. ❹Wandering Valley Camp/Camp Coffee: Great view, relaxing with coffee, staying here overnight to welcome the first light of morning is super blissful. 🔸There are also many other points of interest like the Reflection Pool, Wuzhifeng, Jinbian God Pillar, and more! - ✅Recommended route Cable car🚡 mountain climbing → Cicada Worshiping Buddha → Reflection Pool → Wuzhifeng landmark → Canyon Restaurant → Motianling Elevator → Wangyue Platform → Jinbian God Pillar → Camp Coffee → Xiaotiantai → Return trip - 📍Address: East Gate of Wuzhifeng Scenic Area, Mangshan, Yizhang County, Chenzhou, Hunan 🕰️Hours: 8:00-18:00 (entry stops at 16:30) 🚄Transport: After arriving at Chenzhou West Station, a round trip by car🚗 to the scenic area costs about (300-400), self-driving is more recommended - ✅About mountain climbing This is a mountain that doesn't require climbing. The cable car crosses about 5-6 mountains in roughly 20 minutes to reach the top, then you walk along the trail, circling the mountain in about 3-4 hours. There are elevators and escalators for any climbing needed, suitable for both the elderly and children. - ✅About accommodation Recommended to stay at the Fan Villa Hot Spring Homestay or the Wandering Valley Camp on the mountain top. 🔸We stayed at the mountain top camp at night, the tent had heating, and the living facilities were very complete. Located at Qingliang Platform, you can overlook the mountains, and walking to Xiaotiantai in the early morning, you can see the beautiful sunrise and sea of clouds, which is really worth it. - ▪️There will be snow in February, be sure to check the weather before going, the day after the snow is the best time to appreciate it, and you can also see the sea of clouds. -

Self-driving Tour - Exploring the Magnificent Mangshan

Mangshan National Forest Park Depart from Guangzhou at 9 am, take the Guangzhou-G4 Jingzhu-Shaoguan-Yizhang-Lechang City Pingshi Exit-G107 Ligen Town-Tiantang Township-Mangshan National Forest Park, and enter from the west gate around 1 pm. Stay at Xiaobai's Family Guesthouse in Mangshan Linchang, with three bedrooms and a living room, plus a kitchen. If there is a chef among the companions, you can catch chickens that roam freely and pick the abundant green vegetables. The skyward chili peppers are needless to say, the greenery is as lush as a tea garden covering the hills and fields. In Hunan, along the way, you can see the production of red paper for firecrackers, with large rooms neatly hanging with sheets of red paper, quite peculiar and spectacular. Tiantai Temple is located at about 1600 meters on Tiantai Mountain, surrounded by peaks and lush forests When reaching Wanshou Pagoda, heading east to the Great Tiantai, looking at the high stone steps stretching endlessly, everyone stops, their pleas falling on deaf ears. Helplessly, I alone climb the steep cliffs of Yazi Stone... The mountain is high and the wind is fierce, but beside the path, the reeds undulate like waves, and apart from the heavy breathing, not a single bird's chirp is heard. Just as a hint of regret from the hardship arises, suddenly a peak emerges, standing proudly alone, with the mist in the winter ravine growing thicker, the closer I get, the less clear the view. The sunlight comes from behind, casting long shadows of the mountain, quite peculiar. Looking down, the mist covers the dark pines and steep cliffs, all around is silence. Looking back the way I came, the sun sets in the west, and the mountain path appears steeper. The winter in the south is not cold yet, it's like the autumn in the north Yazi Stone Peak Forest, viewed from the aerial walkway, looks like spears and forks piercing the blue sky. Tiantai Temple in the sunset already shows the majestic atmosphere of a king's long peace. Due to the upstream hydropower station, the stone bridge below is exposed with layers of pebbles, without clear springs passing by, the gray-white and round stones are silent like the eyes of dead fish, staring at the sky. As the early sun rises, the sharp light and shadows, the rugged mountain roads, the vehicles seem like a huge musical note striking the strings, with the flying dust like lingering sounds Around 8 am, driving over the gravel mountain roads, passing through Xiangsi Pit into Xiangyue Peak, this is a peculiar territory, the highest peak belongs to Guangdong, called Shikengkong by Nanling National Forest Park, regarded as the first peak of Lingnan, but the management rights are within Mangshan Linchang. So, you will see a huge stone carved with 'Guangdong's First Peak' in Mangshan Forest Park of Hunan. At the summit, the wind is fierce and the clouds are swirling, it's unbearably cold. The 'Shikengkong' inscription on the cliff wall is fluttering down, barely visible due to the merciless wind and rain. Then there are the nine twists and eighteen bends that can only be seen in Yunnan or Tibet, with a strange peak called Stone Frog Gazing at the Moon. At this moment, the sky is bright, the stone frog has no moon to gaze at, but the undulating mountains and the vast sea of clouds can be seen. The Guizi Fort scenic area is about four kilometers, it is recommended to enter from the right and exit from the left. At the beginning, you only walk among the pine and bamboo forests, the wooden walkway and the rocky path are not too hard, but as the walkway undulates, you gradually enter deeper into the forest, the scenery becomes better, with strange pines and bizarre cypresses, and the clouds and mist are vast. When reaching the Natural Gate, suddenly in the place where the sunlight is shining, a white waterfall flies down, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, the rumbling sound is incessant. The General Stone with its helmet and armor looks vivid, hence it is also called General Fort. The Monkey King Fort is said to be named after the wild Mangshan macaques, but the walkway is currently under repair, with sand being carried and wood being laid, and asphalt being paved, making it difficult to pass. Apart from the maintenance workers, there are hardly any tourists. The cliffs on both sides of the walkway are towering, and the dark places are bone-chillingly cold. Along the way, multi-level waterfalls cascade down, the rapids are turbulent, like a silver bottle suddenly broken. When reaching Jiudie Spring, it abruptly ends. Looking up at the Milky Way hanging upside down, there is no way to go... Finally, at the foot of the mountain, a few small monkeys are seen imprisoned in iron cages. On the way back, passing through Leping Stone Liantang in Lechang City, suddenly an ancient house appears, with huge hemp stones as the foundation, surrounded by blue brick walls, and towering eaves. I enter alone and meet an old man surnamed Zhong who says this is his ancestral home, with children and grandchildren all having gone out to work or moved elsewhere to live. The setting sun slants on the dark wooden table, under the dirty round stools covered with spider webs, behind the hall is the old man's room, and further back is a huge room, dimly visible filled with miscellaneous items, the surrounding old houses have also half-collapsed, with the remaining half of the carved door lintel displaying the broken splendor. ⛰️Location: Mangshan Yao Township, Yizhang County, Chenzhou 🚗Transportation: Self-driving, about seventy kilometers from the county town, approximately three hundred and thirty kilometers from Guangzhou 🎫Ticket: Old scenic area at the west gate 80, Wuzhishan scenic area at the east gate 280 (including round-trip cable car and shuttle bus) 👣Tour: Mangshan is the largest national forest park in Hunan. The west gate tour route first goes to Monkey King Fort, with multi-level waterfalls cascading down along the way, the rapids are turbulent, like a silver bottle suddenly broken. It takes about three hours to walk slowly. Then to General Fort, as the wooden walkway undulates, you gradually enter deeper into the forest, the scenery becomes better, with strange pines and bizarre cypresses, and the clouds and mist are vast. The journey takes about two hours. The next day, watch the sunrise at Tiantai Mountain The Wuzhishan scenic area at the east gate is the core essence of the scenic area, and the ticket is really expensive
