    Explore Fenghuang Ancient Town during the off-season. Less crowds, perfect for taking photos. Hotels are cheaper, traffic is light, and parking is convenient. Fenghuang Ancient Town is a place worth experiencing in depth. The town's culture, the morning scenery along the Tuojiang River, and the birdsong and fragrant flowers in the mountaintop park are all worth savoring. This ancient town, home to Shen Congwen's former residence, is worth a visit. Choose a spot and quietly relax for two or three days.

    I drove into the parking lot a day in advance and stayed in the car. It rained heavily at night and drizzled during the day. It was foggy, so I didn't go to the cliff path because I couldn't see anything. I just went to the bridge to take a look.

    It's worth a visit. After all, it's a national-level building. Yes, let me tell you about Aizhai. The Aizhai Bridge scenic area has a glass plank walkway, but it's not very interesting. Half a day is enough for Aizhai Bridge. The official itinerary is difficult to understand. The Aizhai Miao village of Dehang below is interesting and worth a visit. Jidou Miao Village is simple and authentic. The service at Aizhai Bridge is average, directions are difficult, and communication is difficult. I took a lot of photos at Aizhai Bridge, but there's actually a fee later.

    川粤半部论语川粤半部论语

    Border Town, the border town described by the master writer Shen Congwen. I made a special trip to stop by, even getting off the highway in Chongqing. I exited the highway at Hong'an, Chongqing, and arrived at the "Three Provinces in One Scene" scenic area. Crossing the bridge, I reached Chadong in Hunan, entered the Border Town Chadong Scenic Area, and walked along the river to the end, climbing the mountain to see Cuicui Residence and the White Pagoda. I originally planned to visit the Three Provinces Viewpoint, but halfway up, I realized I was short on time and turned back. On the return trip, I arrived at the Lala Ferry Terminal (there are boat tours for 25 yuan, but I didn't have time and had to skip it). I took the Lala Ferry for 2 yuan back to Hong'an, Chongqing (it felt a bit like the Ciqikou Wharf). Walking along the street, I checked out the Liu-Deng Army's March into Southwest China Exhibition Hall. Then I walked back to the parking lot and drove away. The whole trip took 2.5 hours. The border town isn't large, and the commercial atmosphere isn't strong. A typical visit takes about 3-4 hours, but a more in-depth tour could include an overnight stay. Enjoy a boat ride, feel the gentle river breeze, experience the tranquility of the border town, and perhaps even discover the pure and beautiful humanity of Cui Cui. Features: The town is permeated with "Cui Cui" culture. It features stone steps reminiscent of Chongqing's Hong'an, and bluestone paths reminiscent of Hunan's Chadong. Chongqing's Hong'an restaurants are mostly hot pot restaurants, while Chadong has a plethora of noodle shops. The Guizhou side is also full of sour fish soup. Disadvantages: Construction is still underway in Chongqing's Hong'an area, which negatively impacts the experience. Ideally, construction should be fenced off to prevent tourists from seeing the buildings. If I weren't in a rush, I would love to stay here for several more days.

    一只迷糊鱼一只迷糊鱼

    The scenery in Yamugou is stunning! The staff were very friendly. After entering the area, we took a sightseeing bus into the gorge and hiked out. The entire journey was shrouded in mist, creating a magical atmosphere. However, on the way back, the weather suddenly changed, and heavy rain began to fall. I had nowhere to take shelter and got soaked. The river was also noticeably flooded, so if you're going into the gorge, be sure to bring an umbrella and be careful.

    Furongzhen is worth a visit, but it’s quite a small area and can be covered within a few hours. Lights come on at 5.30pm, so be sure to find a good dining spot to view the scenery while you eat. Be ready to walk and climb stairs if you wish to locate hidden photo spots.

    Fanjingshan truly exceeded my expectations! The air was fresh, the sea of ​​clouds was ever-changing, and every step was a picturesque scene. Taking the cable car up saved a lot of energy, and we could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the primeval forest along the way. The mushroom-shaped rock formation was unique and made for great photos. Although the Red Cloud Golden Summit and the Old Golden Summit were temporarily closed, seeing the sea of ​​clouds and mountain views from the mushroom rock made all the hard work worthwhile. The mountain trails were well-maintained and clearly marked. We happened to arrive during a porridge distribution at the temple, and the porridge warmed us up nicely. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend coming to experience the magnificence and tranquility of Fanjingshan.

    A relatively unknown but magnificent scenic area. At Bajiaozhai Scenic Area, taking the cable car to the top reveals a breathtaking view of whales playing in the sea, a truly awe-inspiring sight. This area also marks the border between Hunan and Guangxi provinces; the other side of the mountain is Guangxi. At the summit is a row of temples, the left one belonging to Guangxi, built during the Tang Dynasty, and the right one to Hunan, built during the Song Dynasty. Walking around to the back of the temples to see the Guangxi scenery is even more breathtaking than the Hunan side. Particularly impressive is the Dragon Head Incense Burner. It's practically a single, incredibly thin cliff face. Walking along the cliff to the very top to offer incense is said to be incredibly narrow, sometimes only 10 centimeters wide! Unfortunately, only a package ticket is available, including four or five attractions. However, I wasn't feeling well today, so I only visited one attraction before heading back to the hotel. Apparently, one ticket is valid for three days; I'll check it out tomorrow.

    It's worth a visit, and it's different from ordinary cruises. There are several special scene performances on the shore, and the actors and lighting are good. The music can only be heard on the boat, and the elderly at home are very satisfied after watching it.
