#Xiandu Guishan Youshe Homestay Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, I stayed in the mystical Xian Du while exploring the mountains and waters
🏞️ Xian Du is a national scenic area and a national 5A-level tourist attraction, featuring a nine-bend stream, a ten-mile gallery, extraordinary peaks and rocks, enchanting landscapes, a collection of cultural heritage, and is scattered with famous sites. It is reputed as having the elegance of Guilin, the strangeness of Huangshan, and the danger of Huashan.
🍁 With summer gone and autumn setting in, the full moon over Xian Du and the gathering at Dinghu are perfect for enjoying the cool weather and hiking.
