Weekend Getaway 033 | Misty Xiaodong River, An Unexpected Surprise.
Travel often brings unexpected encounters. I thought I had missed the misty Xiaodong River at 4:30 AM, but to my surprise, I saw it at 10 AM on a rainy day.
Chenzhou is a beautiful city with many scenic spots. Besides the popular Gaoyiling, Xiaodong River Scenic Area is also a must-visit. To help visitors better enjoy the riverside scenery, the scenic area has several walking trails. The most classic route is from Station 3 to Station 4.
Walking along the path, you can enjoy the fresh air and the mist floating on the water, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Occasionally, you might even spot some butterflies 🦋 and small animals. Highly recommended ❤️

Dongjiang Lake, Chenzhou, Hunan
Dongjiang Lake is a huge area with tons of things to see, do and explore. When entering you can buy tickets which include bus and boat and rafting tickets. The bus takes you past a dam and to the main area with restaurants and shops. You can then walk to some of the waterfalls and shorter paths. The boat from there takes you to the island after a 20 min cruise where you can do more walks or go into the huge limestone karst cave which you can see in my pictures is truly spectacular. There is an option of white water rafting on the other side of the lake which I didn't try.
The cave was the biggest highlight for me, it was cool and damp and the paths lead you up and down and around the maze like cave for about a 20-30 minute walk. There are bats on the ceiling and huge limestone features everywhere lit up by multicoloured lights. It's like an alien world and something that no pictures do justice. The cave is very large and at the end of the path you can buy souvenirs.
In dongjiang lake I would recommend trying some local small spicy fish snacks.

The misty Xiaodong River is breathtaking.
With its distant mountains, river mist, and small fishing boats, the Xiaodong River in Chenzhou is like a traditional Chinese landscape painting. It's a paradise for photographers and one of the top 10 photography bases in China. 📷
"The fisherman is a guest in the mortal world, but now he is a fairy in the painting."
The Xiaodong River is part of the Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area in Zixing, Chenzhou, Hunan. It is located downstream of Dongjiang Lake, from the entrance of the Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area to the Dongjiang Dam, with a total length of about 12 km. The water temperature of the Xiaodong River remains at 8–10°C all year round. From April to October, the temperature difference creates layers of mist on the river, making it look like a fairyland! That's why it's called the "Misty Xiaodong River"!
🗺️The Xiaodong River can be divided into several parts: morning mist, net casting, Dongjiang Dam, Hougushan Waterfall, a boat ride to Doushuai Island, and Longjing Canyon.
·
📸About the morning mist: April to October is the best time to see the morning mist, and it's also the peak season for Dongjiang Lake. The best time is from 6 am to 8 am.
The four viewing platforms in the scenic area are all accessible by eco-friendly buses. I recommend taking photos at the second viewing platform.
Then you can walk along the boardwalk from the second viewing platform to the third or fourth viewing platform and then take a bus to the pier.
🕸About net casting: Net casting is a regular activity. Fishermen will cast nets in the lake below the second and third viewing platforms. You can take photos of the fishing boats if you wait a little while.
·
🚢About Doushuai Island: The largest inland island in Hunan Province, with a large karst cave. If you haven't seen a karst cave before, you can visit the island.
🥣About dining: There are many restaurants in the pier area of the scenic area, mostly serving local cuisine. The fish from Dongjiang Lake is famous, and the local specialties are fish prepared four ways (cold fish skin, salt and pepper fish, steamed fish, and fish head and tail soup) and salmon sashimi.
🐟We ate at Huji Laoyufu next to Dongjiang Lake. The signature dish is [stone pot organic male fish]. The fish hot pot and vegetables are delicious! The fish is very tender! You can't visit Chenzhou without eating fish! I think you can just order fish and some side dishes without ordering anything else.
·
🚘About the scenic area eco-friendly buses: They run in a loop, so you just need to wait at the stop and don't have to worry about missing them.

Chenzhou, an unforgettable encounter.
Chenzhou, like a shining pearl, exudes a unique charm. Having just returned from Chenzhou, I can't help but share this super practical travel guide with you, so you can easily start your journey to Chenzhou.
In terms of weather, September is hot and humid, so you need to drink plenty of water. Although October is autumn, it is still hot, so don't forget to protect yourself from the sun and heat. It is best to wear light, breathable, and brightly colored clothes, and pair them with a stylish sun hat for a cool and comfortable look that will add color to your travel photos.
Transportation is very convenient. In terms of railways, Chenzhou Station is located in the city center and is well-connected. For air travel, Chenzhou Beihu Airport has many domestic routes. For high-speed rail, Chenzhou West Station is a hub, shortening travel times between regions.
The must-see attractions are breathtaking. Dongjiang Lake is a fairyland with beautiful mountains and rivers. The vastness of Yantian Lake Grassland allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature. The unique Danxia landform of Gaoziling shows the wonders of nature. The five peaks of Mangshan are magnificent and breathtaking. The lake in Bailang Scenic Area is like a paradise on earth. The night lights of Yuhou Street are a sight to behold. The unique landforms of Ma Huangqiu Grand Canyon are amazing. The ancient town of Wayao Ping is full of history and charm.
There are many accommodation options. There are many river view homestays and high-cost-effective hotels around Xiaodongjiang. When you open the window in the morning, you can see the blue sky, white clouds, and natural scenery. It is an ideal place for a peaceful journey.
The itinerary is well-planned and compact. On the first day, head straight to Yantian Lake Grassland after arriving in Chenzhou, and stay in a hotel near Xiaodongjiang at night. On the second day, wake up early to see the beautiful fog over Xiaodongjiang, stroll along the fog-watching trail, then explore Longjing Canyon, and then relax at Bailang Xiaoerhai. On the third day, visit Gaoziling Scenic Area and return home after a pleasant journey.
Warm reminders: It is best to visit Gaoziling Scenic Area in the morning or evening, and remember to bring sun protection. During the summer travel peak, book your round-trip high-speed rail tickets and accommodation in advance. The best time to see the fog over Xiaodongjiang is from 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning, so don't miss it. Yantian Lake Grassland is at a high altitude and has strong ultraviolet rays, so protect your skin.
Come to Chenzhou and have an unforgettable encounter!

Dongjiang Lake|Foggy Little Dongjiang, Absolutely Beautiful!
Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area is most famous for the morning fog of Little Dongjiang. To see this scenery, you need to take the scenic area's sightseeing bus. You can take a bus to the scenic area, such as Zixing Bus No. 1, 2, 4, or 5, and get off at Sanxiang Sishui. If you are driving, it is best to arrive before 9 o'clock, otherwise, it will be difficult to find a parking spot 🚙🚙.
2️⃣ It is best to purchase tickets online in advance. You can directly buy tickets for the Little Dongjiang Scenic Area online (approximately 78 yuan per person 🎫). This way, you can enter the scenic area by scanning your ID card directly. After entering, just queue up to take the scenic area's bus. There are viewing platforms 1, 2, 3, and 4. If you enter the scenic area after 9 o'clock or miss the last net-casting performance at 9:30, you should start your tour from the second viewing platform.
3️⃣ You might have read some guides suggesting to see the morning fog at 7 or 8 in the morning. Actually, I think it's unnecessary. The scenery around 9 o'clock is also very good, and there is also a net-casting performance.
4️⃣ Important Tip‼️ If you miss the net-casting performance, don't worry. Between the second and third viewing platforms, there is a tourist pier where there is a special net-casting performance for those who take the boat. This performance is not time-limited, so you can enjoy it from the shore.

30-day Tour around Hunan - Dongjiang Lake in Chenzhou
'The fisherman was once a mortal guest, but now he is a celestial in the painting.' This is a true depiction of the misty Xiaodong River, as Dongjiang Lake's water temperature remains between 8 to 10 degrees year-round, and a thin mist forms over the river from April to October every year, creating a beautiful and fairy-like scenery! Coupled with the performances by the scenic area staff, every frame is like a scene from a fairyland.
Accommodation: The closer to the scenic area, the better, otherwise you won't be able to get up!!!
Transportation: Taking a taxi, hiring a private car, or self-driving is the most convenient.
Routes: There are two routes in Dongjiang Lake, Route One (85/person), and Route Two (188/person). Route Two is recommended, as it includes a boat trip and a visit to a karst cave.
Attractions: Misty Xiaodong River, Dongjiang Dam, Longjing Canyon, Doushuai Island; near the 2-4 viewing platforms, there are performances such as net casting, mountain songs, and water dances.
Note: Purchase tickets online one day in advance, reservation is required.
If you don't know where to go for summer vacation, come to Dongjiang Lake in Chenzhou for a hazy encounter, I believe you won't regret it.

Chenzhou Xiaodongjiang
Chenzhou Surrounding Tour - Dongjiang Lake|||Location📍: Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area
Ticket🎫: Lake-viewing Line (Premium Route 1): 85 RMB per person, includes Xiaodongjiang, Longjing Canyon two attractions and round-trip shuttle bus within the scenic area; Lake-touring Line (Premium Route 2): 188 RMB per person, includes Xiaodongjiang, Longjing Canyon, Dongjiang Lake cruise, Doushuai Lingyan Cave and round-trip shuttle bus within the scenic area. It seems that the prices vary between peak and off-peak seasons, it's recommended to check multiple ticketing platforms as there might be discounts, and after purchasing tickets, you can enter directly by scanning your ID card!
Transportation🚘: It is recommended to take a taxi or drive by yourself, chartering a car is more convenient (relatively more expensive, it's better to compare several companies), there is also a bus from the high-speed rail station to Zixing, but if you take public transport, you will need to transfer which can be quite troublesome
Travel Tips:
1️⃣It's suggested to stay overnight near the scenic area to set out early the next day, have breakfast nearby, and then go to Dongjiang Lake to see the mist and watch the fishermen cast their nets. Try to enter as early as possible, the accommodation owner told us that the scenic area opens at 6 am, and when we entered around 7 am, there were already many people
2️⃣Find a good spot in advance before the fishermen cast their nets, and remember to take continuous shots. I didn't think of it at the time, and by the time I did, they had already stopped casting
3️⃣If you plan to climb the Longjing Canyon mountain trail, it's still recommended to wear sports shoes, as there are quite a few steps. Take breaks and walk around for about an hour, you can bring some water and snacks. It's not recommended for those with poor physical fitness, or you can choose another path that doesn't go up the mountain
Overall, it was quite nice, except for a little overcharge by the taxi driver on the way there. I bought the play route one, entered the scenic area and took the shuttle bus to the No. 2 viewing platform, walked to the No. 4 viewing platform, and then took the scenic area shuttle bus to Longjing Canyon for a round trip. The whole journey took about 3-4 hours to play, Xiaodongjiang is very beautiful, especially when there is mist!

Trip to Chenzhou
This May Day holiday, I took my family to Chenzhou for a two-day and one-night stay
Driving from Foshan by car🚗, it only takes 4 hours to get there
The weather was cool during the holiday, making it a perfect summer retreat
If you want to bring your family to Chenzhou during the holiday, just follow my guide☑️
🏨Accommodation Section
Recommended: Yifan Residence🌸
When with family, it's essential to choose a homestay close to the attractions
What I value most is that their homestay is only a 10-minute drive from Xiaodong River🚗
The environment of this homestay is really beautiful, like a fairyland
This time I booked a river-view homestay, and the moment I opened the curtains, I was healed, and my family praised my choice👍🏻

A three-day, two-night trip to Chenzhou
It takes six hours to drive from Zhuhai to Chenzhou.
We set off in the morning of the first day and arrived at three in the afternoon. Thinking of playing until evening before having dinner, but that's really not feasible❌ I suggest eating something upon arrival to have the energy to play, otherwise, you won't last through the night.
First day itinerary: 711 Mine➡️Wa Yao Ping➡️Yuhou Street at night. It must be the off-season because there were very few people, and we finished both attractions in half an hour each. After that, we rested at the hotel and ordered takeout of Bailutang pig-slaughtering rice noodles! Really good 7
Second day itinerary: Chenzhou Changjuan➡️Pangpo's Bound Duck at Xia Mei Bridge (delicious and spicy enough for Cantonese to enjoy)➡️Gao Yiling (followed the guide to the Farmer's Villa at Gao Yiling, the mountain road had many twists, but it only took 15min to reach the top, suitable for lazy people hehe)➡️Stayed at a hotel near Dongjiang Lake at night.
Third day itinerary: Dongjiang Lake (really couldn't get up early, started at nine, although there was no fog, it was still beautiful, bought route 2, after viewing the lake took a two and a half hour round trip boat ride, the boat stopped at a point where there was a cave kiln to visit, cool inside for about forty minutes) Dongjiang🐟 was also quite delicious➡️After lunch, headed back in the afternoon over.

Friends, is it really necessary to visit Chenzhou?
Chenzhou in Hunan, the 'Chen' of Chenzhou, is not a complicated character, but it is very easy to misrecognize. When placed together, maybe a few more people will recognize it, but if you take it out alone, nine out of ten people will be clueless. It's okay not to recognize it, but you must know that Chenzhou has many famous tourist attractions, such as Gaoyiling Tourist Area, Dongjiang Lake, Yangtian Lake Prairie, and Mangshan Wuzhifeng, among others. These attractions have their own unique features, and in short, Chenzhou is a charming tourist destination.
🚘 Transportation
✈️ Airplane: Chenzhou Beihu Airport. If not available, you can fly to Changsha and then take the high-speed train to Chenzhou.
🚄 High-speed train: Chenzhou West Station/Chenzhou Station, there are many trips from all over the country, which is quite convenient.

From April to October each year, whenever the sun rises or sets🌇, from the entrance of Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area to Dongjiang Dam, you can always see the magical 🌫 fog of Xiaodongjiang.
2️⃣ Yangtian Lake Prairie
Yangtian Lake Prairie has introduced a variety of cute pets such as alpacas🦆, Khaki Campbell ducks, black swans, and deer🦌. Feeding various small animals up close is definitely a memory worth cherishing forever during vacation time.
3️⃣ Gaoyiling
Mainly mountainous, with pleasant scenery and a forest coverage rate of 95%, it is an undeveloped Danxia landform virgin land.
The biggest feature is the Danxia landform surrounded by beautiful puddles, red rocks, and green waters🍀, dangerous fortresses, and strange streams, which are incredibly beautiful.

Get up at 6:30 am, and it's a 7-minute walk to the entrance of the scenic area. The ticket is 80r, which can be purchased online or offline
ole, and you can enter by swiping your ID card. Take the free sightseeing bus and arrive at platform 2 in 5 minutes.
There are five stops in total: platforms 1, 2, 3, 4, and the Dongjiang Dam Pier. It is especially recommended to get off at platform 2, walk along the riverside plank road to platform 3 to get on. The mist along the way is like a fairyland. Between platforms 1 to 4, you can watch the fisherman's net casting performance every 15 minutes, a great photo opportunity!
At platform 2, you can take a boat for 100r to watch the net casting. Platform 3 is the best shooting spot, with Hanfu ladies available for photography. Continue to take the bus to enjoy the Dongjiang Dam, and after getting off, walk for 10 minutes to Longjing Canyon. The tourist rest area has fried fish for 5-35r, and Dongjiang Lake salmon is worth a try!
Tips:
If you want to see the mist, you must get up early!
Be sure to protect yourself from the sun and wear comfortable hiking shoes.
For photography, it is recommended to wear Hanfu, cheongsam, or Chinese-style ink and wash skirts.

Chenzhou Dongjiang Lake Travel Guide
——Internet-famous spot guide
Misty Xiaodongjiang: Every year from April to October, when the sun rises and sets, the hazy mist creates a fairyland-like scene, acclaimed as a 'Chinese wonder, a cosmic spectacle'.
Gaoyiling: The most distinctive feature of Gaoyiling is its Danxia landform. There are beautiful puddles around, and it is recommended to rent a car or drive yourself!
Dongjiang Dam: 'One dam locks the Dongjiang, creating a lake from the high gorge'. The dam, like an arched screen, is surrounded by mist, and when the floodgates open, there is a poetic scene reminiscent of 'dancing snow and flying springs'.
Longjing Canyon: The Longjing Canyon is 2.5 kilometers long, with clear pools and waterfalls in groups, a negative ion canyon, known as a natural oxygen bar!
Dongjiang Lake Rafting: The longest rapid is over a hundred meters, a unique man-made rafting slide in the world.

Chenzhou Travel Guide: The Ultimate Budget Travel Guide for College Students for a Two-Day, One-Night Trip!
Travel Section: Departing from Guangzhou Station, it only takes 1.5 hours by high-speed train to reach Chenzhou West Station, with ticket prices around 170+ yuan. If time and budget allow, you can also opt for the more nostalgic sleeper train, which takes longer (about 4.5 hours) but is more affordable and offers a closer look at local life. Upon disembarking at Chenzhou Station, you can immediately taste the authentic Yu Fen and Sha Zhu Fen, both delicious and economical. Since the attractions are quite far apart, it is recommended to book a ride-share through a legitimate platform. Although you may encounter drivers who charge extra, it is still generally economical.
Landscape and Food Exploration: The first recommended destination is Gaoyiling, known for its spectacular Danxia landform. The best time to visit is on a clear day, which will result in better photo outcomes. For ticket prices, students with valid IDs can enjoy a half-price discount at only 49 yuan; adults pay 96 yuan. The tour route includes the Stonehenge, the challenging Dengyun Ladder, cliff plank walkways, the Giant Lizard Lake resembling a green iguana, Dragon's Back, suspension bridges, and the Shouting Spring among many other unique landscapes. Remember to bring supplies, as goods are relatively expensive at the mountain top. In the evening, head to the freely accessible Yuhou Street, which, as the lights come on, feels like a 'Little Suzhou' in the Jiangnan water town style. Consider climbing the arch bridge for a panoramic view of Yuhou Street and try on various ethnic costumes for a photo shoot.
The next morning, be sure to visit the enchanting Dongjiang Lake, where the misty surface of the lake at this time creates a unique atmosphere. Depending on your schedule, you can choose different routes; student tickets are only 40 yuan. If you're on a tight schedule and can only experience Route One, it's still enough to enjoy the beauty of Xiao Dongjiang, watch the fisherman's net casting performance, take a leisurely boat ride, take commemorative photos, visit waterfalls, the hydroelectric station, and ride the thrilling 'over-mountain' sightseeing car. Additionally, the food by Dongjiang Lake is equally tempting, with local snacks like fried salmon, Qiao Mouth Fish, and desserts like Bing Fen and Ci Ba, all of which are not to be missed.
Accommodation Strategy: We chose a homestay in a villa area near Dongjiang Lake, which was quiet and elegant, surrounded by beautiful peach blossoms. The original price for the double room we booked was 88 yuan, but the considerate landlord upgraded us to a room equipped with a projector. Both the interior decoration and the facilities were very well-designed, clean, and new, making it an extremely cost-effective choice. It's worth mentioning that by sharing photos of the homestay on social media, you can even enjoy free electric bike rides.

The mist lingers over Xiao Dongjiang, where people wander as if in a painting
This must be a paradise on earth!
"The fisherman was once a mortal visitor, but now he is a celestial being within the painting."

Hence the name "Misty Xiao Dongjiang"!
Best time to view the mist: April to October each year
Best time to view the mist: 6:30~8:00 in the morning and 18:00~19:00 in the evening

Chenzhou is really suitable for a 2-day tour! Who knows! The route recommended by the locals, eating, drinking, playing and taking pictures are all available and not too tired
-
🚄Transportation: Shenzhen North to and from Chenzhou West High-speed Rail within 2.5h
Day1️⃣Xiaodongjiang
🛶View: The ticket is 80r, there is no fog in April, and May-June is the fog viewing season (see the fog before 8 o'clock), but there are all-day boat netting performances, and you can reach it by walking for 20 minutes after entering the door. After watching the netting, you can take the scenic bus to the dam (20 minutes walk is very easy)
📷Shoot: The small pavilion down the steps when you enter the park is suitable for cheongsam and national style girls🍃The colorful floating bridge after passing the dam is also very photogenic
🐟Eat: Don't miss the grilled fish at the mouth of the dam! Be sure to eat the first roast, the chili powder is very fragrant🌶️The dried ones are not local fish and are not recommended to buy
Overall, it is suitable for people who love to see landscapes but do not like too heavy~

Dongjiang Lake Travel Guide in Chenzhou
Time: It is suggested to go at 6:00 in the morning (if you go late, the fog will disperse, lacking atmosphere)
⛅️Weather: Be sure to go on a foggy day, it's absolutely beautiful.
🏕Tour route: You can buy tickets on site, or you can group purchase online, there are discounts for student ID, you can queue up for the bus directly after ticket checking, there are 4 viewing platforms in total, it is recommended to get off at the 2nd viewing platform‼️There are fishermen casting nets there! It's the best place to take pictures, sometimes they cast nets every 15 minutes, sometimes every 30 minutes. Then you can walk along the river to the next viewing platform, the air is very good, and the environment is also refreshing. The last viewing point also has waterfalls, but they are all small waterfalls, if you like, you can walk around and take pictures, the last viewing point has a lot of food shops, but there is nothing particularly amazing, the grilled fish is not bad. If you are tired, you can take the bus directly back to the starting point.
📸Photo guide: It is recommended to wear elegant, clean or flowing clothes, which will be more in line with the artistic conception there. Personally, I think the best place to take portraits is at the glass plank road‼️You can take more pictures! It's about in the middle section of the 2nd-3rd viewing platform. At the third viewing point, you can take a large area of the river surface, but the railings there are a bit rigid for shooting, not suitable for full-body shots. If you are taking pictures of the scenery, you must have a few of the fishermen casting nets, almost everyone's first stop is for this, then walking along the river, you can take pictures at will, it's very atmospheric.
