: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Bluestone slabs, stilted buildings, Tuojiang River, and a leaf boat. Many people's impression of Xiangxi is still limited to Fenghuang Ancient Town. Until this time, I really traveled around Xiangxi and saw another side of it under the bright lights. Its true beauty is understated yet resounding. Xiangxi is no longer mysterious, just waiting for you to come. - ⛰️4-day itinerary in Xiangxi Day 1: Fenghuang Ancient Town Day 2: Dehang Miao Village➜ Aizhai Bridge➜ Tianwen Observatory➜ Biancheng Chadong Day 3: Wulongshan Grand Canyon (Ruo Mi Cave)➜ Liye Ancient Town➜ Liye Qin Jian Museum➜ Bamianshan Day 4: Ruoba La➜ Furong Town • 🚉How to get there 🚄High-speed rail: Fenghuang Ancient Town Station ✈️Airplane: Arrive in Changsha➠ Take the maglev train/airport bus to Changsha South and transfer to the high-speed rail🚅 ⚠️You can choose to take a taxi🚗, bus🚌, or maglev🚊 from Fenghuang Ancient Town High-speed Rail Station to the ancient town scenic area. The bus and maglev have fixed stops and require more walking. Taxis have more freedom in where you can get off. • 🗺️Travel Guide ▪️Fenghuang Ancient Town The Tuojiang River reflects the brilliance of the three thousand lights of Fenghuang City. However, I prefer the way it looks when it just wakes up, with fog covering the river and birds chirping. ▫️Dehang Miao Village The original Miao village style, surrounded by mountains, so quiet that it doesn't feel like it's on earth. The ticket includes a visit to the Miao Village, Liusha Waterfall, and Astronomical Observatory. ▪️Aizhai Bridge A rainbow bridge spanning two sides surrounded by mountains. It's hard to imagine the magnificence before you see it in person. ▫️Astronomical Observatory A naturally formed stone platform with a bottomless canyon below and cliffs above. It has a strong immortal-xia style, and you can take great photos📷 without aerial photography. ▪️Biancheng Chadong The prototype of "Biancheng" is not Fenghuang, but Chadong. Located at the junction of Hunan, Chongqing, and Guizhou provinces, the Huayuan River flows through it. You can take the "Lala Ferry" mentioned in the car to Cuicui Island. In the evening, it's so beautiful to eat by the river with the wind of Xiangxi. ▫️Wulongshan Grand Canyon The Ruo Mi Cave is amazing. It's so cold in the summer that it smokes. None of the caves I've been to before are as large and open as this one. The "Nine Dragon Divine Pillars" and "Sharingan" formed by hundreds of millions of years of waiting are worth seeing. ▪️Liye An ancient town surrounded by the You River. The Liye Qin Jian Museum houses three national treasure-level bamboo slips, not to be missed. ▫️Bamianshan See the cliffs and sea of clouds❗️At an altitude of over 1,000 meters, there are homestays on the mountain and you can also set up your own tent🏕️. ▪️Ruoba La The "beautiful and beautiful place" in Tujia language. The palace built for the TV series is very photogenic📷. ▫️Furong Town An ancient town on a waterfall. It's not comparable to Fenghuang, each has its own characteristics, and both are worth checking in. • 💡Tips: A taxi from Fenghuang High-speed Rail Station to the ancient town costs💰24, starting with three people. Fenghuang Ancient Town lights up at 7:30 pm. Liusha Waterfall in Dehang requires a high water period. The "Snack Bar Parking Lot" on Aizhai Bridge is a great angle to take photos of the bridge. The "One Fish, Three Provinces" fish pot in Chadong is delicious❗️ You can navigate🧭 to the Sun-dried Clothes Rock for the sea of clouds on Bamianshan. The black building in Ruoba La is at the end of the road. Furong Town lights up at 7 pm.

Because of the phrase "Bamian Mountain, three feet away from the sky" I became very interested in Bamian Mountain, so I came here in person and started my first reinstallation in my life - Alpine meadows, sunset glow, sunrise sea of ​​clouds, Buddha's light are all in full view! I had no regrets on this reloading trip because Bhamianshan is so beautiful! This is the most beautiful mountain I have climbed this year. I highly recommend it to everyone! It is so comfortable to camp here~ 🧭Navigation: Bamianshan Station 🚶Distance: 15.7km (Bamianshan small loop, the Erbulu App has a track) ⛰️Altitude: 2,042m (1,119m cumulative climb) 🌟Difficulty: (heavy + 0.5) 🕙Time: 6h up the mountain + 3.5h down the mountain (rest + take photos) ⛺️Camping point The land we chose is relatively flat in the valley below the highest point of the mountain. There is a water source 2 or 3 meters away, which is very convenient! There is no signal at the camping site Itinerary Day 1️⃣: 7km hike, 6h Start at 10:30 and walk 2~3km of stairs. There are many shade trees and rest spots on the road. It is very cool and windy. Arrive at the observation tower at 13:00, take a break, take photos and enjoy the scenery. Then we started to rush from the watchtower to the camp. On the way, we passed the cliff, went through the forest and walked along the ridgeline to reach the big grassy slope. This section of the ridgeline is very beautiful, and you can overlook the observation tower. After arriving at the campsite and setting up camp at 16:30, we ran to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset and started cooking dinner at 6:30! It's very windy and cold at night, so you need a fleece and a jacket. Day 2️⃣: 9km hike, 3.5h Woke up at 5:00 to watch the sunrise. When I opened the tent, I was shrouded in fog. Fortunately, the fog dissipated after 10 minutes or so, and I could see the sunrise, sea of ​​clouds, and Buddha's light. We started to descend from the camp at 8:30 and hiked along the valley. We arrived at the forest at 9:30. The roads were irregular and covered with moss, which was quite slippery. 11:30 Go down to the cement road and walk another 1.7km to reach the post station. ⚠️Equipment to bring ✅Sleeping system: NOKER Cloud 2, NOKER sleeping bag (15-18 degrees), egg nest mat (R value 2.6, a bit big) ✅Must-bring equipment: Jacket, fleece, quick-drying clothes, quick-drying pants, ice sleeves/sun protection clothes, raincoat, 2 sets of replacement clothes (one for the day, one for after going down the mountain), sunglasses, magic towel (sweat wiping, sun protection), sun protection gloves (recommended), 4L of water, some road meals ✅Others: stove, stove head, gas tank, water bag (for camping), water purification tablets, personal toiletries, headlamp, camping lamp, etc. 🙏There is a lot of garbage around the campsite. Please pack lightly or take away the garbage you generate during camping. Protect the environment! .

🌟When the first leaf fell, I knew it was time to set off for Xiangxi. The autumn there has a fairy-tale-like color, as if the whole world is gently dyed golden. Today, let me take you into this mysterious land and feel the stories and beauty hidden in the mountains. 👣 🏰【Fenghuang Ancient Town】: This ancient town is known as "the most beautiful town in China". Every autumn, the stone roads and stilt houses in the ancient town add a bit of simplicity and tranquility. Be sure to stroll along the riverside in the early morning or evening, watch the mist rising from the river, and listen to the boat songs coming from afar. At that moment, you will feel that time has slowed down. 🌅 🏡【Rebala】: This is a well-preserved Tujia village. The rice fields are golden in autumn, which contrasts beautifully with the surrounding green mountains and waters. Here you can experience the authentic Tujia culture and taste authentic food. 🌾 🏮【Furong Town】: Although it is not as famous as Fenghuang, it also has its own unique charm. Walking in the alleys of the ancient town, it feels like traveling back to ancient times. Moreover, there is a rich nightlife here, and the town looks particularly charming under the lights at night. 🌃 🏛️【Liye Ancient Town】: Want to explore the history of the Qin and Han dynasties? Just come here! The ancient city walls and inscriptions record thousands of years of changes. Taking a walk here, you can feel the rich historical atmosphere with every step. 📜 🚗【Transportation Tips】: Xiangxi is located in a mountainous area, so it is recommended to travel by car or choose a local tour group for more convenience. However, no matter which method you choose, remember to plan your route in advance! 🌄【Border Town Tea House】: The border town described by Shen Congwen is still as quiet and beautiful as ever. Why not find a teahouse, sit down, sip a cup of tea and enjoy a moment of peace. 🏔️【Bamishan】, 🌉【Aizhai Bridge】: Friends who like outdoor adventures cannot miss these two places. Bamishan Mountain is suitable for hiking, while Aizhai Bridge is a good place to experience the thrill of heights. Remember to wear comfortable shoes and bring a camera to record the beautiful scenery along the way! 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️【Dehang Miao Village】: Finally, don’t forget to go to the Miao village to experience the hospitality of ethnic minorities. Autumn is a good season for traveling, so let’s set off to Xiangxi together.

🎈This time, while traveling in Western Hunan, I discovered an incredibly beautiful aerial grassland—Bamian Mountain⛰️. With an average altitude of 1200 meters, it is simply the last secret place in Hunan😍. It was once a filming location for the show 'Divas Hit the Road'. The entire mountain stands amidst the clouds and mist, where you can fully enjoy the starry sky and sea of clouds🌌, sunrises and sunsets🌅. The best part is that you can drive the entire way and it's free🚙. I must share this with you‼️ 📍Bamian Mountain, Western Hunan. 🚙Transportation: Highly recommend self-driving😎🧭. Navigate to Bamian Mountain Scenic Area. There is a half-hour winding mountain road to drive up, so be careful, and those prone to car sickness should prepare some medication💊. 🎫Tickets: Free🆓, which is simply awesome👏. 📷Recommended Spots: 1️⃣Cliff Road on the East Side of the Mountain: There is a scenic road about 10 kilometers long along the cliff on the east side, and the scenery is absolutely stunning💥.

On weekends, there are music festivals where you can sway to the music in the cool evening breeze, creating an amazing atmosphere👏. 🥩Food Recommendations: Smoked meat from Western Hunan is a must-try😋, and the roasted whole lamb at Bamian Mountain is also very famous🐑.

Tingtaoju Cliff Villa, wooden houses, Yunzhong Xiaoshe, Xingyunju, as well as local guesthouses and farmhouses.

Bamian Mountain Scenic Area | My Spiritual Journey✨ 🏞 I arrived at the Bamian Mountain Scenic Area, located in the southern part of Longshan County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. It borders Youyang County and Xiushan County in Chongqing to the west, with a unique location and stunning scenery. As soon as I set foot on this land, I was deeply attracted by its natural landscape. 😻 🌄 At the top of the clouds, there is the "Sky Prairie" and the "Hulunbuir of the South." Standing there, I saw an endless expanse of green, lush vegetation, and flat terrain, as if I had entered a dreamlike world. In the early morning, I witnessed the magnificent sunrise, with the red sun rising from the horizon, gradually illuminating the entire prairie; in the evening, the sunset painted the sky with brilliant colors, which was breathtaking. 🕳️ There is also the mysterious Swallow Cave, located on the southeast cliff of Bamian Mountain. The karst cave landscape inside the cave amazed me, imagining the stories of the Xiangxi bandits who once hid here, looking at the remaining bunkers, gunpowder kilns, and beds, as if traveling back to that turbulent era. 👀 Cup Rock, shaped like a giant cup, is over a hundred feet high, and the spring on top of the rock is even more magical. The ancient temple with its once-thriving incense made me feel the sediment of time. 🌉 The Self-formed Bridge is a masterpiece of nature, a single-arch natural stone bridge about 50 meters high, 20 meters wide, and 40 meters in span, along with the unique "Eight Views in One" landscape, which is truly astonishing! ⛰️ From the cliffs standing side by side on Xiyue Mountain, you can see the vast land of Sichuan and Shu, with the unique "One Line Sky" landscape that makes me linger and forget to return. 💐 The Seven Cliffs of Cloud Top, including Sansheng Cliff, Good Luck Cliff, Dream Fairy Cliff, Qingfeng Cliff, Zhiyin Cliff, Wangxiang Cliff, and Qifu Cliff. The terrain here is dangerous, the environment is secluded, with dense exotic flowers and ancient trees towering into the sky. There are also two clear springs that flow all year round, making it feel like a fairyland. In addition to the intoxicating natural scenery, the cultural landscape here is also full of charm. 🤩 🏕️ Lotaying in Tiantang Village in the northern part of Bamian Mountain was once the station of the Tujia tribal chief's army. There are also Yanchongying and Atuying, all bearing rich historical and cultural heritage. 🛡️ Gong'an Fort, also known as Bamian Outpost, originally named Jiajia Fort, was established in the early days of liberation to prevent the air drop of American and Chiang Kai-shek forces, making people feel the tension and perseverance of that special period. The climate here is also very pleasant, with no severe cold in winter and no intense heat in summer. The annual average temperature is 14.7℃, so even in summer, it doesn't feel too stuffy. 😃 🚗 As for transportation, I drove here myself, about an hour's drive from Liyegu Town, but be careful of a few turns and narrow spots on the mountain road. 🎫 As for tickets, you can consult the scenic area for specific prices. In short, Bamian Mountain Scenic Area is truly a place that makes people linger and forget to return. You must come and experience it, and I believe you will fall in love with it just like I did! 💕

The ancient proverb goes, "Bamian Mountain is three feet and three feet away from the sky. When people pass by, you have to lower your head🙉, and when horses pass by, you have to saddle up." This can be seen from the steep and undulating mountains. Bamian Mountain🌸 and Wugong Mountain🍀 belong to the Luoxiao Mountains.
