🍽️Food
Chenzhou has a lot of delicious food, and the trendy atmosphere left a good impression on me ( •̀ ω •́ )
Signature Spicy Chicken: The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. One bite, and you'll first experience the crispiness, followed by a burst of spicy flavor that lingers in your mouth, becoming more fragrant with each chew. You can also choose the level of spiciness, so even those who can't handle spice can easily enjoy it.
Crispy Fried Pancake: The aroma hits your nostrils as soon as it's served. With a satisfying "crunch," the texture is rich and complex, making it hard to resist even when you're full.
🏡Accommodation & Attractions
We chose to stay at Yifanju next to Dongjiang Lake~~It's located in the center of Feitian Mountain, Bailang, Mahuangqiu, and other scenic spots, making it easy to get anywhere! The Chinese-style decor is beautiful, and you can see Dongjiang Lake through the glass floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a tranquil and pleasant atmosphere. Drinking tea and taking photos is so relaxing!
Feitian Mountain
From the homestay, it's a short drive to Feitian Mountain. The Danxia landform is truly unique, with red cliffs, natural bridges, and other stunning formations everywhere, as if they were carefully carved works of art by nature. Hiking allows you to experience its unique charm up close, while a boat tour offers a fresh perspective on this breathtaking scenery. The gentle breeze and stunning views are truly healing. After a day of exploring, return to the homestay and enjoy a cup of hot tea in the public viewing and leisure area, sharing the beauty of Feitian Mountain with other guests.
Bailang
Known as the "Little Erhai Lake" of Chenzhou, Bailang is romantic and picturesque. The owner of the homestay helped us plan the best route. Strolling along the lake, the clear water, rolling hills, and the beauty of the mountains and waters are mesmerizing. The sunlight shimmers on the water, making every photo a masterpiece. For a more relaxing experience, take a boat tour and enjoy the leisurely atmosphere. Back at the homestay in the evening, fall asleep to the gentle breeze from the lake. It's incredibly comfortable.
Mahuangqiu
The canyon scenery of Mahuangqiu is majestic and precipitous, and it's only about half an hour's drive from the homestay. Walking along the canyon trails, every step brings a new and awe-inspiring view. There aren't many tourists here, so you can fully enjoy the tranquility and magnificence of nature. Every photo you take will be worthy of sharing with your friends.
🚗Transportation
High-speed Rail: From Guangzhou, it only takes 1.5 hrs to reach Chenzhou West Railway Station.
Self-driving: The whole journey takes about 4 hrs. Although it's a bit long, you can enjoy various scenic views along the way, offering freedom and leisure, and you can stop to take photos whenever you like.
