Chongyang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
SMALL NATURAL Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Finally checked into another treasure homestay in Wuhan's backyard~
I had booked it once two years ago, but cancelled it due to changes in the itinerary. I stayed here on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Overall, there were disappointments and surprises, but I personally think it is still worth recommending~
The reason why I chose this place was because of the rice field that turns yellow in autumn, but I was quite disappointed with the rice field when I arrived. The area is not large, lacks landscape design and daily maintenance, and the homestay in Huangmei that focuses on rice fields is much better.
However, those detached cabins scattered in the mountains and the environment of the public space were really a big surprise, especially on such a rainy day, the quiet and healing atmosphere was full, it was really amazing!
👉🏻Small natural luxury resort
✅Location: Chongyang County, Xianning, 1.5 - 2 hours drive from Wuhan, you can stop by Hesheng Bridge for a chicken soup~
✅Room type: All are detached wooden houses, there are quite a few, there are two-story and single-story ones, I stayed in the cheapest forest view room this time, the window is a tree, but it does not completely block, privacy is also OK~
✅Environment: It seems that only guests can enter here, although it is full, there are not many people and it is very quiet, the overall feeling is very comfortable; it was cloudy and light rain when I was here, it is not suitable for taking pictures, but the forest environment is still very photogenic~
✅Service: There are electric cars inside for pick-up at any time, the slope is very steep, it is necessary to take a car if you are carrying luggage, check-in and breakfast are basically self-service, which is more convenient; Mid-Autumn Festival gave atmosphere lights, and there were bonfires and fireworks~
A pet-friendly tranquil forest cabin shrouded in mist, surrounded by mountains and forests
Hidden in Wuhan, there is such a forest cabin, a forest homestay far from the city's noise, brimming with the natural pastoral atmosphere and filled with a quiet and healing vibe~
Starting from Wuhan by car, friends with pets can also bring their own Huskies! Take your furry kids on a city escape plan~
This fairy-tale homestay covers an area of about 900 acres! Nestled in a large expanse of paddy fields in a village in Chongyang, Xianning, passing through the fields, you will see cabins hidden between the mountains and forests. The cabins here are two-story detached villas with panoramic glass windows that offer a close view of the golden flower fields and a distant view of the green mountains and fields, as if you are in the idyllic scenery of 'leisurely seeing the southern mountains' from Tao Yuanming's poetry~
Each house is named after the 24 solar terms, including private hot spring paddy field cabins, private hot spring forest cabins, mountain companion cabins, etc... Each one has a unique style! The whole house is made of wooden materials, mixed with the fragrance of camphor wood, with panoramic windows, you can see the green mountains and fields from the room, and there is an independent soaking pool in the room. Leaning against the forest, soaking while enjoying the view, it's simply too comfortable~
The Little Nature restaurant offers delicious breakfast, and you can sit on the second-floor terrace to enjoy tea, eat, and admire the view! Moreover, there is a bonfire party every night, and the little brothers in the homestay will prepare roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes. Gathering around the bonfire to play a game of Werewolf, it's like a hidden game of Werewolf in the flickering firelight~

Xianning·Jinguishan | A beauty just like the Xian Dao Lake
Xianning Chongyang hides a secret beautiful spot unknown to many—Jinguishan, also known as Guancaishan, named for its shape resembling a chest, symbolizing promotion and wealth.
The main peak of Guancaishan is 482.5 meters above sea level, connected to Ma'anshan in the northeast, and surrounded by water on the north, west, and south sides. Ancient people said: 'The land of the Son of Heaven has eighteen caves,' and Coffin Mountain is naturally a feng shui treasure.
There are twenty-four small mountains around, and local legends say they represent the twenty-four acts of filial piety.
Below the mountain is the Qingshan Reservoir, said to be a national first-class drinking water source.
Jinguishan resembles the Thousand Island Lake of Huangshi, but it is more niche here. Not many people visit on weekends, and it is currently free of charge.
🌟 Hiking Play
1⃣️ Lazy Easy Version (5 minutes to reach)
You can drive according to the navigation directly to the parking lot at the entrance of the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. After entering through the main gate, it takes about 5 minutes to climb the stairs to reach the first red flag on the mountain (you can already see the entire lake view from here) which is very photogenic. Friends who like to take photos can return after reaching this point, as the view above is not as good for photos.
2⃣️ Full Hiking Version (about 1h to reach)
After reaching the first red flag, continue upwards, with stairs and fences on the left, and a wild path on the right. Climbing up for about 1 hour will take you to the second red flag at the top of the mountain. The scenery along the way is also nice, and you can watch a sunset on the way down. Suitable for friends who like hiking.
🎫 Ticket: Free
🌟 Location: Xianning·Jinguishan (also known as Guancaishan)
🚘 Self-driving: Navigate to 'Xianning City Chongyang County Jinguishan', 2 hours drive from Wuhan
⚠️ Advice: It is not recommended to go on rainy days, as the last section of the dirt road is a bit steep and slippery when wet.
Xian'ning's Official Wealth Mountain Hiking Adventure
Xian'ning, a seemingly ordinary city, hides many secrets unknown to the public. This time, I had the privilege of visiting the legendary Official Wealth Mountain, a place full of mystery.
Official Wealth Mountain, named for its shape, is also elegantly called Gold Cabinet Mountain. Its unique shape is like a piece of art meticulously carved by nature. The legends about it are even more colorful; some say it is the incarnation of the twenty-four filial exemplars, others say it is a feng shui treasure land with countless treasures hidden within.
As I stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the towering peaks, an urge to explore surged within me. Walking up the winding mountain road, each step felt like stepping into the long river of history. The surrounding scenery was picturesque, with green mountains and clear waters, as if one could hear the whispers of the ancients.
After about 10 kilometers of hiking, I finally reached the highest point of Official Wealth Mountain. Standing here, overlooking the entire Qingshan Reservoir, I felt a sense of openness, as if the whole world was at my feet. The distant mountains rose and fell, and the nearby water surface shimmered, forming a stunningly beautiful picture.
After descending the mountain, I chose to take a boat tour of Qingshan Reservoir. The boat sailed on the lake, with a gentle breeze on my face, and the beautiful scenery of mountains and water was intoxicating. The lake water was so clear that the bottom was visible, and fish freely swam in the water, as if telling the story of this land.
During the lake tour, I was also fortunate to experience a farmhouse restaurant on the island. The food here was simple, but it was filled with the taste of home. Interacting with the enthusiastic islanders, listening to their stories of life on the island, I felt the simplicity and authenticity of this land.
This adventure made me deeply appreciate the charm and mystery of nature. Official Wealth Mountain is not only a place with beautiful scenery but also a treasure land full of historical and cultural heritage. If you also love adventure and like to pursue unknown secrets, then why not come to Xian'ning and find out for yourself!
