Things to do in Shaoyang

You can check it out. The attractions are a bit scattered. The Bajiaozhai cable car is highly recommended and very convenient. If there's an early morning bus, you can go up the mountain to watch the sunrise, which would be even better. Tianyi Alley is extremely narrow and interesting, so you must go. Overall, I feel you should definitely visit Bajiaozhai and Tianyi Alley. As for Chili Peak and Zikeng, it depends on the situation. Be sure to get up early to climb Bajiaozhai; the earlier the better, as there will be fewer people and the fog and sea of ​​clouds won't have dissipated yet. Once the sun comes out, you can only see whales, not the sea.

In the sweltering summer, a family trip, especially with children, to Nanshan is a great choice for escaping the heat, relaxing, and having fun. Staying within the Nanshan scenic area means you won't need air conditioning while sleeping; the temperature is generally between 18-23 degrees Celsius. During the day, you can take your children horseback riding, see windmills, and even experience feeding cows and milking cows. In the evening, you can watch dragon dances, enjoy bonfires, and even bottle-feed lambs. The activities are plentiful and quite enjoyable.

Xinshao Baishuidong Scenic Area is like a secret place in central Hunan, and its 4A-level scenery is well-deserved. The stalactites in Bailongdong are in various shapes, the Feihong Waterfall is magnificent, and the scenery of Luoshan Lake is as beautiful as a painting. Here, you can not only experience the magic of karst landforms, but also taste the special food of Shaoyang, which makes people linger.

Yunshan National Forest Park is a national 4A tourist attraction, a provincial nature reserve, and a provincial scenic spot. The park is located 5 kilometers south of Wugang City. It belongs to the remnants of Xuefeng Mountain and has a total of 71 peaks. The highest peak, Zixiao Peak, is 1,372.5 meters above sea level. Yunshan National Forest Park is long and narrow from east to west, stretching for 20 kilometers, with a total area of ​​3,110 square kilometers. It is famous for its amazing mountains. It is famous for its beautiful water, secluded woods and magical clouds. In ancient times, Yunshan Mountain, together with Hengshan Mountain, Yuelu Mountain and Jiuyi Mountain, was known as the four famous mountains in Hunan. Yunshan National Forest Park is not too hot in summer and is cool and pleasant. The average summer temperature in the mountainous area is about 25°C. It is a typical mountain summer resort in the province.

It is very cool here in summer. The natural breeze in the shade is like air conditioning. The wooden houses in the village are very unique and are especially suitable for taking photos. The rice fields are also very beautiful. There are big trees in the ancient forest that three people can't surround.

天一巷景区是国家级重点风景名胜区—崀山大景区的核心景区，200多米长的狭窄长谷，只容一人过去，抬头是一线天，低头是高耸的小巷子。而且整个景区有多个各种各样的巷子，风景独特唯美，游览设施也很好，值得去游玩。

The scenic area is free, and the mountains and forests outside the residential area are the most beautiful places for natural scenery. There are some elderly people living alone and left-behind children in the village. The villagers are very simple. A simple chat may be exchanged for a lunch, but the local fireworks are the most lively only during the busy farming season. If you want to go, I suggest you go in the second half of the year, because I heard that the local ethnic minorities have a very grand festival in the second half of the year, which seems to be called "Jiu Ba Festival", which is as grand as the Chinese New Year.

Baoqing Ancient City Wall was built in the Han Dynasty. It is an earthen wall with five gates, seven floors and twelve forts. There is an underground secret passage leading to the outside of the city inside the gate for emergency communication. The city wall, North Tower, Shuangqing Ancient Buildings, Shuifu Temple, etc. are all located on the banks of Zishui River and can be visited together.

Lajiao Peak Scenic Area is one of the main scenic spots in Xinning Langshan, Hunan. It is a national 5A-level scenic spot. Camel Peak and Lajiao Peak are both lifelike. Generally, it takes about 2 hours to climb only one. It is also a typical Danxia landform.

It is a very meaningful place worth visiting. It is in a small village not far from the city. You can get there by following the navigation. The whole tower is exquisite. There are words "Bricks donated by believers in the first year of Wanli" on the tower bricks, and some patterns like "Q1". I don't know what they express, but it feels very interesting. It was closed, so I didn't get to go up to the tower to see it. It was a little regretful. Shaoyang North Tower is a national treasure and a national key cultural relic protection unit. However, I didn't see any protection measures for this treasure. Instead, I saw that many tower bricks were engraved by unscrupulous tourists, which damaged the bricks in the first year of Wanli. What a pity! By the way, the separate small building next to it is Liao Yaoxiang Mansion, which is not open today, Saturday.
