Chenzhou Travel | The highly asked-about Dongjiang Lake homestay and travel guide✨ This time, my boyfriend and I went to Chenzhou, and staying at Dongjiang Lake Wuxiang Villa Inn was such a wonderful surprise! It’s been asked about nonstop, so I’m rushing to share our travel guide with everyone~ 🏠 Dongjiang Lake Wuxiang Dongjiang Villa Inn 📍 Address: Villa No. 21, Huxiang Dongjiang Bay South Courtyard, Yanjiang West Road, Dongjiang Street, Zixing City The inn is located right at the core of the 5A scenic area Dongjiang Lake, on the shore of Dongjiang Bay, the prime spot. Step outside and you’re at Little Dongjiang, super convenient for watching the mist! The water temperature in Dongjiang Bay during summer ranges from 3°C to 8°C, with negative oxygen ions between 48,000 to 58,000 per cubic meter—a natural oxygen bar air conditioner, a perfect place to cool off and breathe fresh air! There are 12 uniquely styled rooms in total, 7 of which have full lake views. You can lie in bed and take in the poetic misty scenes of Little Dongjiang. The rooms have bright floor-to-ceiling windows, complete facilities, and some have projection screens and projectors. Some rooms also feature bathtubs🛁. The inn also offers a reading and leisure area, a popular heart-shaped bar, and a barbecue area—great for taking photos and perfect for relaxing and having fun with friends~ 🌅 Travel Attractions Guide 1️⃣ Dongjiang Lake Tickets🎫: Premium Route 1 (Little Dongjiang + Dongjiang Lake by car + Longjing Canyon) around 85 RMB; Premium Route 2 (adds boat tour + visit to Doushuai Lingyan Cave) around 171 RMB, Route 2 is more recommended. Best viewing period: Late April to early October, best to see morning mist from 5:30 to 8:30 AM. The fisherman’s net-casting performance is near Bridge No. 2 and No. 3. Be sure to get up early to catch this breathtaking moment—morning mist, fishermen casting nets, like an ink painting. Longjing Canyon offers waterfall clusters and high negative oxygen ion content. Walking along the canyon trail is especially pleasant. The boat tour lets you enjoy the lake’s scenery and visit Doushuai Lingyan Cave, where the stalactites look surreal under colorful lights. 2️⃣ Bailang Little Erhai Lake Free🆓, recommended to drive or charter a car, navigate to “Bailang Pier.” Known as “Little Erhai,” it has a stunning lakeside road. Renting an electric bike (40 RMB/hour) or tandem bike to circle the lake is super enjoyable, with breathtaking scenery along the way. Recommended check-in spots: Peach Blossom Square (Instagram-style photo wall), Viewing Platform (overlooking the entire lake and islands), Wetland Park (great for “painting-like” photos). You can take a boat to Phoenix Island (54 RMB ticket), interact with peacocks and alpacas, and the island’s flower sea and wooden boardwalk are perfect for forest-style photo shoots. 3️⃣ Gaoyiling Tickets🎫: 98 RMB/person at the gate, 95 RMB/person if purchased online in advance. The iconic Dragon Ridge is a narrow mountain ridge with cliffs on both sides, resembling a giant dragon’s back from afar. Walking on it is thrilling, offering views of red rocks and green waters, perfect for stunning photos. Other spots like Giant Lizard Lake, Stonehenge, and Sky Ladder are also worth visiting. Activities include via ferrata climbing, cliff swings, and high-altitude cycling, which test your courage (not recommended for those afraid of heights). Watching the sunset from the heights in the evening is super romantic. 4️⃣ Mahuangqiu Tickets🎫: Free (parking fee around 10 RMB) Similar terrain to Gaoyiling but much less crowded. It features unique Danxia landforms with some steep slopes. Climbing up offers beautiful panoramic views, perfect for photos capturing the contrast of red rocks, green grass, and blue sky. 🍱 Food Recommendations Dongjiang Fish: Fresh and delicious fish meat.
