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 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

The route recommended by the locals, eating, drinking, playing and taking pictures are all available and not too tired - 🚄Transportation: Shenzhen North to and from Chenzhou West High-speed Rail within 2.5h Day1️⃣Xiaodongjiang 🛶View: The ticket is 80r, there is no fog in April, and May-June is the fog viewing season (see the fog before 8 o'clock), but there are all-day boat netting performances, and you can reach it by walking for 20 minutes after entering the door. After watching the netting, you can take the scenic bus to the dam (20 minutes walk is very easy) 📷Shoot: The small pavilion down the steps when you enter the park is suitable for cheongsam and national style girls🍃The colorful floating bridge after passing the dam is also very photogenic 🐟Eat: Don't miss the grilled fish at the mouth of the dam! Be sure to eat the first roast, the chili powder is very fragrant🌶️The dried ones are not local fish and are not recommended to buy Overall, it is suitable for people who love to see landscapes but do not like too heavy~

Time: It is suggested to go at 6:00 in the morning (if you go late, the fog will disperse, lacking atmosphere) ⛅️Weather: Be sure to go on a foggy day, it's absolutely beautiful. 🏕Tour route: You can buy tickets on site, or you can group purchase online, there are discounts for student ID, you can queue up for the bus directly after ticket checking, there are 4 viewing platforms in total, it is recommended to get off at the 2nd viewing platform‼️There are fishermen casting nets there! It's the best place to take pictures, sometimes they cast nets every 15 minutes, sometimes every 30 minutes. Then you can walk along the river to the next viewing platform, the air is very good, and the environment is also refreshing. The last viewing point also has waterfalls, but they are all small waterfalls, if you like, you can walk around and take pictures, the last viewing point has a lot of food shops, but there is nothing particularly amazing, the grilled fish is not bad. If you are tired, you can take the bus directly back to the starting point. 📸Photo guide: It is recommended to wear elegant, clean or flowing clothes, which will be more in line with the artistic conception there. Personally, I think the best place to take portraits is at the glass plank road‼️You can take more pictures! It's about in the middle section of the 2nd-3rd viewing platform. At the third viewing point, you can take a large area of the river surface, but the railings there are a bit rigid for shooting, not suitable for full-body shots. If you are taking pictures of the scenery, you must have a few of the fishermen casting nets, almost everyone's first stop is for this, then walking along the river, you can take pictures at will, it's very atmospheric.
