HongJiang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Compared to Fenghuang Ancient Town, I have a deeper affection for this ancient town in Xiangxi that is almost devoid of tourists

Qianyang Ancient Town has a history of over 2000 years, dating back to the Han Dynasty and flourishing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Furong Tower of this town, Wang Changling left the verse 'A heart of ice in a jade pot'. Visiting here during the Qingming festival, the paulownia flowers bloom just right, the rain wets the bluestone paths, and also makes the air exceptionally fresh. Because not many people know about it, the commercialization level here is still quite low. The entire small town can be toured in about 2 hours, and admission is free. Only if you want to visit certain attractions is there an additional charge. - 📍How to get there: Take the high-speed train to Huaihua South Station, then take a bus or taxi to get there. 💰Admission: Free ⭐️What to eat: Duck egg noodles on the old street at the south gate, You's spring rolls, the old town's eggplant wraps, and green bean noodles at Lao Ye Lane snacks.

Hunan Hongjiang Qianyang Ancient City | A piece of ice heart in the jade pot, Furong Building | Festival Filial Piety Temple, snack spring rolls

Qianyang Ancient City is located in Hongjiang City, Huaihua, Hunan Province. It is one of the well-preserved ancient cities of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China, surrounded by water on three sides, at the confluence of the Yuanjiang and Wushui Rivers. The ancient city has a long history. As early as the early Western Han Dynasty, Tan Cheng County was set up here, renamed Longbiao County in the Tang Dynasty, and Qianyang County in the Song Dynasty. The famous Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling, who was demoted to Longbiao County at that time, wrote 'Furong Building to Send Xin Jian', leaving the eternal verse 'A piece of ice heart in the jade pot'. Furong Building became famous for this. There is an ancient building called 'Festival Filial Piety Temple' on Beizheng Street, which was built in 1723. It was once a temple for the worship of the virtuous women and filial sons of Qianyang Ancient Town throughout the dynasties. It still preserves a plaque encouraging women. During the Republic of China, it was Dai Li's temporary residence and the Qianyang County 'People's Anti-Japanese Aid Association'. There are many ancient relics on both sides of the street, among which the most famous are the county government, the academy, the Confucian temple, the martial temple ruins, etc., which are listed in an orderly manner. The smooth and washed bluestone slabs on the ancient street tell the story and vicissitudes of a thousand years. Walking slowly, it seems that the sound of horse hooves is echoing under your feet, and the sound of camel bells is echoing in your ears, as if there is the lyricism of the guzheng, the noise of the suona, the confession of the huqin, the anger of the pipa, and the sobbing of the sheng and xiao. The most famous snack spring roll that has been on the central station is sold at the entrance of the ancient city. There are 2 shops, mainly for the neighbors to eat. The whole ancient city has a very light commercial atmosphere, and people enjoy the slow time in the ancient city peacefully. 📍Detailed address: Qianyang Ancient City: Qiancheng Town, Hongjiang City, Huaihua City, Hunan Province Ticket: 55 yuan / person

Qianyang Ancient City - a small city that seems to be isolated from the world

Qianyang Ancient City has been built for more than 2200 years Now there are still well-preserved Ming and Qing buildings Including the city gate rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty It's very quiet and there are few tourists Suitable for relaxing and enjoying the scenery Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Huaihua South Station → Bus to Qiancheng (about 20 minutes per bus) → Taxi to the ancient city (about 7 minutes) It's quite convenient, especially like sitting on the bus for that hour, swaying and listening to songs and watching the scenery, the heart rate has slowed down. Accommodation: There are many homestays in the ancient city, many of which are under 100 yuan, I am alone, I randomly picked one for more than 70, I feel that the cost performance is okay, everything that should be there is there. Food: There is a delicious duck egg powder shop in the south of the ancient city near the water By the way, there is also a Yi Yangqianxi Library here, I just found out that this is Yi Yangqianxi's hometown

The ancient city of Fenghuang in Hunan is well known. The Border Town on the banks of the Li River is so beautiful in Shen Congwens pen, but with the development of tourism, the ancient city of Fenghuang is becoming more and more overcrowded. Inheriting the residents of Xiangyang Ancient City in 2200, it lacks a strong commercial flavor, but it has a cultural atmosphere. Compared with tourism, the ancient city of Xiangyang is more suitable for living in the sunset. Interpretation, here, every moment is slow. When the ancient city of Fenghuang was already overcrowded, the small town of Xiangyang was very rare, still maintaining its bleakness and tranquility. It was 1400 years earlier than the ancient town of Dayan in Lijiang, Yunnan, 900 years earlier than the ancient city of Fenghuang. The classic poem "A piece of ice heart in the jade pot" of the great writer Wang Changling was born.

Hunan Huaihua, a treasure land

Huaihua in Hunan is a city that many people are not familiar with, but this treasure city has many places worth visiting, such as 'Hongjiang Ancient Commercial City'. The ancient city is located in Hongjiang District of Huaihua City, at the confluence of Yuan River and Wu River, and is one of the well-preserved ancient architectural complexes in China, known for its distribution of timber, white wax, opium, etc. Most of the buildings in the ancient city were built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, known as 'Guanzi House'.

It is suitable for self-driving, especially the night view is very beautiful.

This time, I came to Hunan to enter the "China's first ancient shopping mall" - Hongjiang Ancient Mall. When I walked, I once again let me feel the meaning of travel. The fireworks in the quiet time may be the most touching. Once many ancient towns are developed, or after they are famous, they are hard to resist the commercial atmosphere. I personally think that business is not terrible, because there is a complete package of business, so that people who come here can be more convenient. What is important is this. How to conduct business, do not let the business cover the spirit of the ancient town, or the atmosphere of the ancient town should not be annihilated. and Hongjiang Ancient Mall, the life here is very strong, although there are many tourists, but it seems that it is not the matter of the people here, or playing cards at the same table, also reading the book under the tree, also in front of the gate Staying, the pedestrians come and go.

The ancient buildings preserved in Hongjiang Ancient Mall are the classics of ancient buildings in Jiangnan, and the live version of Qingming Shanghe Map is rare in China. "The transfer station of the three thousand years of water silk road", "China's capitalism sprouting fossil", "the collection of ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties", "the encyclopedia of Chinese business culture", these titles seem to be historical social researchers Give the definition of Hongjiang Ancient Mall. This ancient city of Hongjiang, located on the edge of the Xuefeng Mountain in Xiangxi, once had thousands of lights, teas and clouds, famous for a while. Nowadays, the blue-gray gray wall and the quiet pier are left behind, and the traces of the past are still twisted back and forth in the hearts of future generations. This is the pearl of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, dreaming of the rain and rain in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

National Wetland Park - Qingjiang Lake, located in the mouth of the thousand-year-old town at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi. The lake is clear and the river is rippling all year round. It is very beautiful. Qingjiang Lake has the characteristics of being male, strange, beautiful, dangerous, quiet, interesting and happy. People are less beautiful, not complicated, very quiet and simple. Looking at the Qingjiang Lake on the shore, that is not enough. Only by taking the upstream boat and getting in touch with the landscape, can we better feel her beauty. The lakeside town is reflected in the sparkling riverside, and if you are in a paradise, the whole body and mind are floating in the sea of clouds.

Boating on the vast, clear and clear waters of the Qingjiang Lake, the scenery is beautiful. The beautiful islands in different poses, the strangely shaped stone cliffs and cliffs all make me sigh the wonders of nature. There are also the costumes and headwear of the minority girls in Sanlitun Village, as well as the sultry Yi songs and the original ancient block wine, which are worthy of your taste. Qingjiang Lake National Wetland Park enjoys the reputation of Little Dongting and Hunan Xihai, and is the largest inland water surface around Hunan, Guizhou and Hubei provinces. It consists of four functional areas: Wangjiayu Tourism Service Area, Qingjiang Lake Water Recreation Area, Qunhong Farm Scenic Area, and Sanlihai Village.

Self-driving in the Jinyun Mountain in Hunan, watching the sunrise and the sea of clouds, the day is still dark, just under the illumination of the lights, I saw many people who got up early morning exercise and then moved to the mountains, although the sky is still not bright. The small partner sitting at the window with the car has been paying attention to the window. Thinking about what luck is today, will you see the sea of expectations? The car is moving forward. The small partner by the window tries hard to look at the scenery outside the window. Suddenly, there is a discovery. It is said that the river is far away from the window, or the sea of clouds, and it will be judged that the sea of clouds will be judged as a river. With the car's marching, it was finally a spectacular sea of clouds. When we got off the bus, the car continued to climb on the mountain road, the car has been driven to a certain height, although the sun has not yet been exposed, with the help of weak light, watching the piece of river composed of clouds The sea is at the foot of our front, above the city below the mountain, it is very spectacular.

The last morning of my first trip to Hunan gave me a good trip. I was not only watching the sunrise in Jinyun Mountain in Hongjiang District of Huaihua, but I also saw the first time in my life. Overwhelmed. This week, I experienced Hunan, which is different from my imagination. The spicy taste of the dish, the winding mountain road, the different scenery and customs, the ethnic minority stockade, the ancient town, the scenery, and the last day. When I arrived at Yunhai, I had been refusing to shoot the stars and photographing the sunrise. But I didnt want to leave regrets this time. Although I fell asleep at 2 o'clock in the morning, I still decided to get up on time and my friends at five o'clock. They converge to the top of the mountain.
