[2025 Chenzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon (Updated May)

#August2024 As you step into the Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon, you will be instantly shocked by its grandeur and magnificence. The canyon is deep, the cliffs are sharp, the waterfalls are roaring, and it seems like the symphony of nature is playing in your ears. The sunlight shines through the clouds and onto the turquoise water, making it sparkle and look beautiful. Walking along the winding path, every step is full of surprises, as if you are in a flowing landscape painting. The mind is completely liberated at this moment, becoming one with nature, feeling the infinite possibilities of life and the wonders of nature.

🌄Day1: Cloud Pasture and Thousand-Year Fireworks 📍Chenzhou West Station→Yangtianhu Prairie→Yuhou Street→Dongjiang Lake Hotel ☁️ 12:00 Stepping into Miyazaki's Cloud Pasture After arriving at Chenzhou West Station by high-speed train, we headed straight to Yangtianhu Prairie. The sharp turns on the mountain road made my heart race. At the top of the "Confession Slope" at 1,314 meters altitude, the view suddenly opened up—windmills spinning on rolling meadows, and alpacas leisurely chewing dandelions beneath the round doors of Hobbit houses. Must-try activities: 1. Horseback riding through flower fields (50 yuan/round), where Tibetan guides teach you to control your horse's speed with "jia jia" and "yu"; 2. Picnic under the "Loneliest Tree," where deer stole my buttered bread—surprisingly, they love seaweed flavor! 3. Order a "Cloud Latte" at the mountaintop café and watch the drone footage of meadows and lakes forming a "Sky Mirror." 🌙 19:00 Time-Folding Magic at Yuhou Street Lanterns light up one by one along the ancient street at dusk, with neon reflections on bluestone slabs like a time-travel drama set. Highly recommended: 【Fengchu Legend Fish Noodles】The spicy red broth hits your senses—add a soft-boiled egg for the local secret recipe; Wait 20 minutes at the heritage oil cake stall for a crispy shell with flowing brown sugar inside, so hot you'll be puffing air. Overnight at the "Mist Hidden" guesthouse by Dongjiang Lake, where opening the window lets in the white noise of water lapping against the shore. 🌅Day2: Misty Wonderland and Red Canyon 📍Misty Xiaodongjiang→Gaoyiling→Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon→Feitian Mountain 🌫️ 5:30 Mist-Catching Plan at Xiaodongjiang Rushing into the morning mist wearing a thin down jacket, the fisherman at Observation Deck No. 2 casts his net right on time—the golden fishing net draws a parabola as camera shutters mix with the sound of egrets' wings. Photography tip: Use slow shutter speed (1/15 sec) to capture the mist wrapping around fishing boats like flowing silk. Friends will ask if your social media posts are AI-generated. 🗿 14:00 Mars Landing at Gaoyiling Avoiding the scorching midday sun, we took motorcycles (15 yuan/person) from the west gate straight to the summit. Standing on the glass walkway along the dragon's spine, the red rock walls below look like giant dragon scales. Only when the drone rises do you realize you're standing on the claw tip of the "Giant Lizard Lake"! Warning: Be careful with the high-altitude swing (50 yuan/time)—the swing arc is so wide you can see goats on the opposite mountain. 🛣️ 17:00 Mahuangqiu Highway Cinematic Experience The sunset turns the Danxia landform amber, transforming the 6km canyon road into a natural red carpet. Rent a convertible jeep (200 yuan/hour), play "Ordinary Road" as background music, and the highway in your rearview mirror seems to lead to "Westworld." 🚤 19:00 Night Boat Adventure at Feitian Mountain Our final stop was Feitian Mountain's Nine Dragon Water Fortress, where the boatwoman suddenly broke into Yao folk songs during our bamboo raft night tour. The cliffs on both sides were projected with "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains," and my phone's live photos captured firefly trails. 🌲Day3: Cloud-Touching Fingers or Yao Embroidery Secrets 📍Mangshan Five Fingers Peak / Rucheng Yao Village ⛰️ Option A: Mangshan Five Fingers Peak Fantasy Quest While the cable car passed through the sea of clouds, a girl in our group exclaimed, "This must be the filming location for 'Noble Aspirations'!" On the suspended walkway at the "Golden Whip Embracing Clouds" viewing platform, there's a bottomless abyss below. When taking photos with the "Summit Warrior Certificate" provided by the scenic area, the mountain wind nearly blew away my hair extension. 🌸 Option B: Intangible Heritage Journey in Rucheng Yao Village At the Shazhou Village embroidery workshop, 75-year-old Grandma Pan taught me how to embroider the "Half Quilt" pattern. After pricking my finger three times, she smiled and said, "The Red Army wasn't afraid to bleed back then, so what's this?" In the afternoon, I enjoyed a free elderly meal at the "Happiness Canteen"—the pork with potatoes smelled so good I wanted to steal the recipe. 🍜Local Food Hit and Miss List ✅ Must-Eat List "Sanjia Flavor Restaurant" on Yuhou Street's chopped chili fish head (fish meat infused with perilla fragrance) Dongjiang Lake's "Fisherman's Evening Song" grilled mandarin fish (garlic-infused meat under crispy fish skin) Bamboo tube rice with cured meat at the foot of Mangshan (smoky aroma permeating sticky rice) ❌ Avoid These The "Dongjiang Salmon Sashimi" in scenic areas is mostly rainbow trout substitute The coconut water (15 yuan each) at Gaoyiling summit is suspected to be artificial flavoring 📌Hardcore Survival Guide 1. Transportation Hacks For Yangtianhu, hiring a car is recommended (400 yuan/day)—beginners should avoid self-driving on mountain roads; Motorcycles at Gaoyiling's west gate save 80% effort climbing, but bargain down to 10 yuan/person; 2. Photography Secrets Use a telephoto lens (70-200mm) at Xiaodongjiang to compress mist layers; Wear solid-color long dresses for Mahuangqiu Highway photos, iPhone color settings: Vibrance +40, Temperature -15; 3. Hidden Experiences "Sanhe Academy" on Yuhou Street offers free flower drum opera every Saturday; Rucheng Yao Village offers "Half Quilt" overnight experiences (book 3 days in advance); 4. Anti-Scam Essentials Choose left-side seats on the Mangshan cable car for the best sea of clouds view; Bring mosquito repellent for Feitian Mountain's bamboo raft night tour—the river mosquitoes are tougher than Danxia rocks! The most magical moment of this journey was when I was running from a sudden shower at Yangtianhu, and a Tibetan grandmother threw me a yak wool cape: "Don't worry, girl, the prairie rain won't wet those with good fortune." Sure enough, after running a hundred meters, the rain cleared—that's Chenzhou for you, where you think you're conquering nature, but in reality, nature has already gently embraced you.

[Rose] Chenzhou, a charming place, is waiting for us to explore. Let us embark on a three-day wonderful journey and experience its unique natural scenery and cultural customs. [Rose] On the first day, we will walk into Gaoyiling. This is an amazing natural wonder and the ticket price is 98 yuan. The Danxia landform of Gaoyiling is like a majestic painting, with steep peaks, deep valleys, red rocks and green lake waters setting off each other, a beauty that makes people intoxicated. Next, we came to the Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon, which is open to tourists free of charge. The Grand Canyon is majestic, with towering cliffs and gurgling streams at the bottom of the valley. It seems like a peaceful place specially reserved for us by nature. Afterwards, we went to Wayaoping, which is also a free attraction. Here, the ancient kilns have witnessed the changes of time, making people sigh at the vicissitudes of history. In the evening, we checked into Mangshan Forest Hot Spring Hotel, where we relaxed in a comfortable environment and recharged our batteries for the next day’s trip. [Rose] The next day, we will go to the Mangshan Wuzhi Peak Scenic Area. The ticket price is 390 yuan, including the cable car fee. Climbing up the Five Finger Peak, it feels like being in a fairyland, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the mountain peaks are looming. The strange peaks and rocks, dense forests and clear streams here form a beautiful landscape painting. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the whole world becomes small and peaceful, making people feel the greatness of nature and their own insignificance. After going down the mountain, we came to Yuhou Street, an ancient street full of historical charm. The quaint buildings, bustling shops and traditional snacks make us feel like we have traveled back in time. At night, we checked into Muzixing Inn and fell into a sweet dream in the warm atmosphere. [Rose] On the third day, we arrived at the foggy Xiaodong River. The ticket price is 80 yuan. The morning mist here is dreamy, the river surface is sparkling, and the figures of fishermen casting nets are looming in the mist, forming a picturesque scene. Afterwards, we headed to Longjing Grand Canyon to experience the vitality of nature. The canyon is filled with cascading waterfalls, shady green trees, and fresh air that makes people feel happy. Finally, we came to the Bailang Scenic Area, which is open to the public free of charge. The lake is clear and the scenery is pleasant. It is a great place to relax. After finishing the three-day trip, we took the high-speed rail back to Guangzhou. The convenient transportation allowed us to easily end this unforgettable trip. [Rose] It only takes one and a half hours from Chenzhou to Guangzhou by high-speed rail, which is very convenient. Since the various scenic spots in Chenzhou are relatively scattered, choosing to charter a car will make our trip more comfortable and save a lot of time and energy. Let us pack our bags, set foot on this magical land, and pursue the beautiful scenery and unforgettable memories!

Take you to Chenzhou The tenth stop Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon       Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon is located in Feitianshan Town, Suxian District, Chenzhou City, more than 20 kilometers away from Chenzhou City. It is a magical Danxia secret hidden in the deep mountains and unknown to people. Now the mysterious veil has been unveiled, waiting for you sincerely, and it is free.        Walking into Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon is like walking into a heavy ink landscape painting, making you sigh at the magic of nature. The great traveler Xu Xiake of the Ming Dynasty traveled here and exclaimed, "No mountain is not beautiful, no inch of land is not strange." It's true.             On the left side of the canyon, there are strange sights such as Daobei Mountain, Chuantan, and Natural Bridge.      Daobei Mountain is named because the mountain ridge is said to be shaped like a knife back. In my opinion, it looks more like a knife edge from a distance. The mountains on both sides are steep and bottomless, as if they were cut by an axe. Walking on the mountain ridge is like dancing on the tip of a knife, which makes people weak and frightened. Only the brave dare to go, and the timid do not enter. I have seen a beauty here who was so scared that she crawled and cried.        Climb the cloud ladder and climb to Chuantan. The cloud ladder is at a 60-degree angle. It is best for girls not to wear skirts here. Understandable. Of course, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. Chuantan is the largest Danxia cave in Feitian Mountain, with a magnificent momentum, running through the front and back, hence the name Chuantan. There used to be houses built in the cave, and local people lived in it. Now some people call it a bandit hole, but there are actually no bandits in the hole, and the people who used to live in it are honest people.        Donkey friends come out of the back door of Chuantan one after another, and you can see a natural stone bridge not far away. The structure of the bridge and the mountain body belong to a whole rock, which is naturally formed. The bridge is more than 35 meters high and spans more than 95 meters. It stands tall among the mountains and has a heroic spirit of being able to take on a big responsibility and let me do it!           On the right side of the canyon, there are scenic spots such as Epozhai, Shengnu Rock, and Swallow Rock.        Epozhai has a thousand-step ladder, which was chiseled out by the ancients one by one with a chisel, and there are still nearly 700 ladders left, like a ladder to the sky. Along the ladder to the top of the mountain, all the peaks are down, and the beautiful scenery is all in sight, making you feel emotional.      There is a Shengnu Rock under Epozhai, also called the Gate of Life, which looks like a woman's vagina. The girl is shy here, and the handsome guy is here.       There is a Swallow Rock next to Shengnu Rock. There are rows of holes on the rock wall, like swallow nests. In spring, there are indeed swallows coming here to camp. There was originally a temple at the entrance of the cave, but it is now deserted, leaving only the ruins for people to remember.        Along the Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon, a 10-kilometer-long wartime highway has been built, winding between the canyons. Tourists can drive or walk along this road, and along the way, they can enjoy the unique landscape of Danxia landform and the beauty of the deep canyon.
