#chinatravelitinerary Nothing can be more exciting than exploring the untamed nature of Hunan Province forests! These are an extraordinary places fully demonstrating charm and gorgeous nature of wet humid forests. Hunan has many famous forest tourist attractions. These attractions not only show a rich natural landscape, but also contain a deep historical and cultural background. Xuefengshan National Forest Park is a popular tourist destination in Hunan. The sun is shining here, and visitors can enjoy the bathing of nature in the natural oxygen bar, ascend to pray for blessings, and welcome the arrival of the New Year. Xuefengshan National Forest Park has attracted a large number of tourists with its unique natural scenery and rich cultural heritage.The Park Management Office has also launched activities such as “Step by step climbing” blessing, ice and Snow Covenant, dragon Dance Snow Peak, etc. to ensure that visitors can play safely and comfortably. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is one of the most famous natural landscapes in Hunan and is known as a miracle of nature.It is known for its thousands of sandstone peaks and forests of different forms and is a world natural heritage site.Walking in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, every mountain peak seems to tell an ancient story, which makes people intoxicated.The main attractions include Huangshizhai, Jinjiaoxi, Yuanjiajie and Tianzi Mountain.Huangshizhai can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire forest park, Golden Whip Creek is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts, Yuanjiajie is the prototype of the “floating mountain” in the movie "Avatar", and Tianzi Mountain is a great place to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds.

#getgoing2025 This is what people often have in mind of visiting an old Chinese town. Architecture of the buildings are stunning, really amazing. The village though increasingly becomes popular and gets commercialized. Still it has a nice vibe and atmosphere. At night it’s particularly beautiful. You won’t need more than one day. It’s best to stay overnight to experience the village at night. By taxi it takes one hour to Tongren Fenghuang Airport, busses available as well but not that frequent. Additionally Fenghuang has express bus connection to Zhangjiajie & Wulingyuan (village of Zhangjiajie National Park) which takes about 4 hours.

#getgoing2025 The town, also advertised as Furong Town, is a very distinctive tourist attraction in the mountainous area of northwestern Hunan. Built on the steep banks of the River You with buildings entirely made of wood and decorated with beautiful ornamental friezes. The network of narrow streets, alleys and small squares perfectly reproduces the lines of the medieval city with shops where all the most typical and ancient products of millenary Chinese history are sold and produced. The panoramic parts are beautiful, located on the cliffs above a waterfall that falls into the You river and crossed by bridges entirely made of wood and stone streets that plunge into the waters of the river. It is recommended to have lunch or rather dinner in the evening with the city entirely illuminated by lanterns in one of the many typical restaurants. To be seen.

#getgoing2025 Absolute highlight of our trip to China. Although it's all part of the same park, the different regions of the park look different from each other in terms of the landscaping. As others have noted - the signage isn't great. The most helpful thing to keep in mind is there are two "levels" to the park. The ground floor trails, and the top floor trails. And then technically there are trails that connect the ground and top floor. I definitely recommend taking the lifts, it's not worth your precious time and energy to hike up. The main highlights are pretty easy walking, the reason you'll sweat will be because of the heat, not because of the trail difficulty. Food is a little rough - there are several McDonalds on top of the mountains! There are lots of vendors along the trails selling bottled water, snacks, etc. They won't bother you at all, and we bought from them several times. A good amount of restrooms on the trail. I liked the Yuanjiajie Scenic area, Golden Whip Stream, and Yellow Village Scenic Area. I would stay away from Tianzi Scenic area and Yangjiajie scenic area. The trails were more difficult in those sections, and the scenery wasn't as good. You'll have a great time!!

Stepping into the Liu Family Courtyard is like traveling through a thousand-year-old time tunnel and entering an ancient and elegant ink painting. The Chinese courtyard, a building form that carries a thousand years of cultural heritage, shows its unique charm here. The eaves, as the eyebrows of the courtyard, exude a sense of simplicity and solemnity after years of precipitation under the warm yellow light. The flying eaves, like wild geese about to take off, solidify the passage of time and seem to whisper stories of the past. Every inch of texture and every carving is a historical touch, recording the changes of dynasties and the rise and fall of families, making people think of the life of the courtyard owner in those years. Is it the deep affection of "how deep is the courtyard" or the open-mindedness of "smiling at the light wind and clouds"? And this courtyard is by no means just a trace left by time and a witness to history. It has long been deeply integrated into the soul of the Chinese people and has become an inseparable feeling. Here, you can find the leisure and freedom of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing the southern mountains leisurely" and feel the poetic elegance of "the sparse shadows are slanted and the water is clear, and the dark fragrance floats in the moonlight." It is our yearning for a peaceful and far-reaching life and our respect and attachment to traditional culture. Walking in the Liu Family Courtyard, the bluestone road under your feet echoes the sound of history, and the grass, trees, bricks, and tiles around you exude the unique charm of a Chinese courtyard. It is like an old man, silently telling the inheritance of a thousand years, allowing every visitor to immerse themselves in it and understand the tranquility and beauty of the spiritual home that belongs to the Chinese courtyard and the Chinese people, finding a piece of pure land for the soul in the noisy world.

Chaoshan beef hotpot, a variety of delicious food all in one place!|||I often eat out, and the most important thing for me is the ingredients. I've been to Jiuji Chaoshan Beef Hotpot many times, and it's always my first choice for all-you-can-eat hotpot. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ recommended 👉The most important thing is that the ingredients are fresh and visible. Clear soup with dipping sauce, a few plates at a time, enjoy the feeling of eating beef in big mouthfuls. Fatty beef, tenderloin, marbled beef, hand-made beef balls, etc. are all available. Special reminder, recently there are new swimming crabs 🦀, abalone, and South China Sea prince clams. It's really great. While enjoying beef, you can also enjoy swimming crabs freely, and there's also 🐂🍺 Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. One choice allows you to enjoy a variety of delicious food all in one place 🤙🤙🤙. Enjoy delicious food non-stop. If you want to eat hotpot in Dahanpu, Jiuji Chaoshan Beef Hotpot is the right choice. After eating, you can also visit the food street of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It's wonderful~ Recommended

It was a trip to Hunan, China with family. We began our journey in Changsha, the vibrant capital of Hunan. A visit to Yuelu Academy, one of China’s oldest academic institutions, was a must for its serene architecture and scholarly atmosphere. The golden hour ☀️ in the courtyard was perfect for photos, with sunlight filtering through ancient trees 🌳 Later, we explored Orange Island (Juzizhou), capturing the massive Chairman Mao Statue with the Xiang River as a backdrop 😍 Yuelu Academy 📍273 Lushan Rd, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan Orange Island 📍Juzizhou Park, Furong District, Changsha, Hunan We also explored the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 🌳 famous for its towering sandstone pillars that inspired the floating mountains ⛰️ in Avatar. For the best photos 📸 we recommend visiting Tianzi Mountain ⛰️ during sunrise for stunning views above the clouds ☁️ The Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, suspended over a deep canyon, gave us heart-racing shots with the breathtaking scenery beneath our feet 👣 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 📍Wulingyuan Scenic Area, Zhangjiajie, Hunan Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge 📍Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Cili County, Zhangjiajie, Hunan We also explored Fenghuang Ancient Town (Phoenix Village), a picturesque riverside village with well-preserved Qing dynasty architecture. The vibrant night scene, with glowing red lanterns reflecting off the Tuojiang River, made for magical photos 📸 During the day, we wandered through the cobblestone streets and captured the iconic stilted houses along the riverbank. The best time for photos is early morning ⛅️ when the soft light bathes the town in a golden glow. Fenghuang Ancient Town 📍Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan Lastly, we also explored to Tianmen Mountain ⛰️ where we rode the world’s longest cable car 🚠 to the summit. The Tianmen Cave (Heaven’s Gate), a natural arch high in the mountain ⛰️ was a sight to behold. We recommend visiting in the morning ☀️ for fewer crowds and clearer views. The 99-Bend Road, zigzagging up the mountain, also provided thrilling photo opportunities from the cable car 🚠 Tianmen Mountain 📍Tianmen Mountain National Park, Yongding District, Zhangjiajie, Hunan We loved every moment of our Hunan adventure, and we highly recommend it for anyone seeking breathtaking scenery and rich cultural experiences! #chinatrip #Vacation #travel

Opening hours: The museum opens at 9:00 in the morning and is closed on Mondays. The closing day is postponed to the next working day if it falls on a public holiday.

You can reserve half a day to visit the museum and feel the temperature of history. The photos taken there are very good. There is air conditioning indoors. It is very suitable to stay indoors in such hot weather. There is a restaurant on the top floor and there is also a Cha Yan Yue Se.

It's so fragrant that I ate 2 big bowls of rice and couldn't stop. ✔Stir-fried eel - The eel is fresh and juicy, and it's completely boneless. It's so satisfying to eat. The side dishes are also delicious and very refreshing. ✔Beef slices 🥩 - The beef is very fresh and chewy. The mashed garlic inside is super fragrant. It's really amazing.

After a light rain on a summer Friday afternoon, the village of Baocun at the foot of the mountain is filled with the quiet and indifferent fragments of mundane life. Grandpa sitting under the tree shaking a palm fan, grandma by the river handling chickens, a cat sleeping on the threshold, ducks swimming leisurely, butterflies flying everywhere, free-range roosters, all the tranquility I can think of is here. I really love it so much that I even hope it will never be disturbed. There is only a small supermarket here selling some water and food, no restaurants or accommodations. After spending an afternoon strolling around, my soul is purified, but it's time to return to reality!

📍Detailed address: Yuanling County, under the jurisdiction of Huaihua City, Hunan Province. Located in the northwest of Hunan Province, at the northern end of Huaihua City. Longxing Lecture Temple is situated at the foot of Huxi Mountain in the northwest corner of Yuanling County town. It is also colloquially known as Longxing Temple and is the oldest existing academy in the world. 🚉Transportation strategy: Take the high-speed train to Huaihua South Station, then transfer to a bus to Yuanling ❤Recommended reason: Longxing Lecture Temple was built by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, in the second year after he ascended the throne and was specifically used for teaching Buddhism. The stone archway inscribed with Emperor Taizong's edict 'Order to build Longxing Lecture Temple' still stands above the mountain gate today. To the west of Yuanling is the land of the Wuxi barbarians, and the temple was built to educate the local people. The so-called lecture temple is a place for promoting Buddhism and teaching civilization. Many high officials and distinguished scholars have visited this place throughout the ages. Dong Qichang, the Minister of Rites during the Ming Dynasty's Chongzhen period, passed through Yuanling on his way to inspect Yunnan and suffered from an eye disease. He was treated by monks in the temple, and in gratitude, he wrote the plaque 'Buddha Land before the Eyes' for Longxing Lecture Temple, which hangs high on the front of the main hall. The great scholar Wang Yangming, on his way back from exile in Longchang, passed through Yuanling and was specially invited by the students of Chenzhou to teach 'The Extension of Knowledge' in the temple for a month. The group of buildings at Longxing Lecture Temple is rich in decorative art, especially the hollowed-out stone carved lotus seat for preaching in the Mahavira Hall, which is exquisite and translucent, a rare item from the Song to Qing dynasties, and is rarely seen in China.
