I thought Changsha was beautiful enough until I went here! In May, Dawei Mountain is a sea of red flowers, with azaleas covering the mountains and fields everywhere. The highest peak in eastern Hunan, standing at 1608 meters, boasts an azalea area of over ten thousand acres. This is the source of the Liuyang River, and just like the eighteen bends of the Liuyang River, the road up the mountain is also full of twists and turns. There are 21 kilometers from the scenic area's main gate to the Honglian Temple, winding up the mountain, and thinking back on it now, it's thrilling. It takes about two and a half hours to drive from Changsha, and you can park your car directly at the Honglian Temple on the mountain. If you have enough time, you can also enjoy the sunrise and sunset, the rolling clouds, and a sky full of stars, which is really worth it!

Liyang Baisha Ancient Town has a history of over 500 years and is known as the 'Little Nanjing'. The Liuyang River divides it into east and west sides. The town is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, with a picturesque landscape. Along the riverbanks are the extending stilted buildings, with stone bases and wooden structures, very similar in design to the stilted buildings in western Hunan. In the river, there are ferries and ancient water wheels, accompanied by reeds and weeping willows, making the whole ancient town feel fresh and peaceful. Rivers flow through the south, shrouding the homes in mist. Walking on the Baisha Bridge, below is the clear Daxi River flowing through the village. Looking from the bridge, the rippling water reflects the scenery, and the small bridges, flowing water, and old streets create a simple and elegant ink painting. Here, the ancient bridge and the tile-roofed houses complement each other, presenting a picturesque scene of 'gentle reflections over the cascading weirs, with green waters and hills like Little Nanjing' nestled by the mountains and waters. In the town, there is the Weishan Academy built during the late Qing Dynasty, as well as ancient city wall remnants from the end of the Ming and the beginning of the Qing dynasties. In the eastern part of the town, there is an ancient street paved with cobblestones and lined with houses featuring black tiles and grey bricks. Here, there are no endless streams of tourists and shops; it is far from the hustle and bustle of the city, offering more tranquility. A one-and-a-half-hour drive from Changsha, it is a great destination for a trip around Liuyang.
