    This scenic spot is worth a visit. It is very close to Guangdong Province and is located at the junction of Guangdong. When the weather is good, you can see the beautiful scenery of the two provinces. There are many rhododendrons and windmills on the mountains, and rhododendrons all over the mountains.

    Zihou's ten years in Yongzhou were a waste of his prime years. This morning, he took a short walk along Yuxi River, a short walk that inspired him to write the first four of his "Eight Records of Yongzhou." The museum records Zihou's life, introduces his important works, and includes related inscriptions. Considering his life experiences, one can glean a wealth of insights.

    Recently, I walked into the ancient city of Lingling, as if traveling through a thousand years of time. Stepping into the ancient city, the bluestone road winds forward, and the pavilions in the style of Ming and Qing dynasties on both sides are quaint. In Liuzi Street, there are many shops, and you can feel the prosperity of the past. The relief wall of "Eight Records of Yongzhou" at the entrance of the street tells the story of Liu Zongyuan. On the banks of the Xiaoshui River, black-sailed boats sway, and rough singing comes from the fishing drum stage. As night falls, red lanterns light up, and light and shadow interweave, making the ancient city more charming. Here, history and modernity blend, and humanity and nature shine together, which makes me intoxicated and reluctant to leave. Lingling Ancient City is really a shining pearl on the land of Xiaoxiang.

    The environment of Yangmingshan Scenic Area is good, but the service is not up to par. The supporting facilities, especially the public toilets, are dirty and smelly, as if they have not been cleaned for a long time. As a paid 4A scenic area, the public toilets are also the facade. The scenic area should not only make money, but also provide inadequate service and management.
