Huilongshan Scenic Attraction is located in Huilongshan Yaozu Township in the northeast of Zixing City. It belongs to the branch of Nanling Luoxiao Mountain Range, with an altitude of 1,413 meters and a total area of ​​20.2 square kilometers. The Xingning County Chronicles, which was revised in the first year of the Guangxu Period of the Qing Dynasty, states: "About ten miles north of the city, behind Yangjiao Mountain, there is a mountain dragon branch, winding and winding, so it is named 'Huilong'. The origin of the county is actually here." Huilong Mountain is picturesque in all seasons. You can enjoy the sea of ​​azaleas in spring, escape the heat in summer, enjoy the sunrise and sea of ​​clouds in autumn, and enjoy the rime and snow in winter. Huilong Mountain also has unique cultural treasures, which integrate more than 2,000 years of religious history, blessing culture, Yao culture, and farming culture. Huilong Mountain is also known as the "Ancient Nanyue" because it is the birthplace of Nanyue's religious culture. There is a famous ancient temple on the hillside of Huilong Mountain - Huilongxian Temple, which was built in 190 AD. With the introduction of Buddhism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huilongxian Temple became a temple integrating Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, with more than 500 monks, Taoists and Confucianists. Due to the high mountains and lack of water, it gradually became impossible to accommodate too many monks. During the Western Jin Dynasty, some monks and Taoists found a blessed land in Hengshan and built another temple. After the Tang Dynasty monk "Amitabha" Shi Quanzhen realized the truth and became a Buddha in Huilongxian Temple when he was a teenager, he began to travel around to preach and spread the Dharma, so ancient books record Huilongxian Temple as "Ancient Nanyue". On the top of Huilong Mountain, there is an ancient and mysterious fairy peak - the Heavenly Sacrifice Platform, which is also the original site of the legendary Yan Emperor's offering sacrifice to the sky. According to legend, when Yan Emperor was on a southern tour, he climbed Huilong Mountain and looked around. He saw auspicious clouds and winding peaks like a dragon. So he chiseled stones to build the Heavenly Sacrifice Platform, and set up an altar on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month every year to offer sacrifices to the sky, to protect the weather, peace and prosperity of the country and the people. Huilongshan Attraction currently has 58 holiday rooms at Yunju Hotel, 42 Yunduan Holiday Houses and 3 camping bases. There are more than 200 camping sites in total. The Attraction has convenient transportation. It takes about 40 minutes to reach Dongjiang Lake Attraction and is only 60 kilometers away from Chenzhou City. It takes about 50 minutes to reach the top of the mountain from Zixing City, and it is 58 kilometers away from the exit of G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway.Zixing · 18.1 km from downtown
Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon

Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon

Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon is located in Chenzhou, Hunan, hidden among the Danxia mountains not far from the city center. The rock strata here were formed in the Late Cretaceous period and perfectly preserve the ancient lake sedimentary layers. The ochre-red cliffs, stretching for several kilometers, have a drop of nearly 300m and have been carved by seasonal streams over the years. The red rocks reflected in the valley streams create a rare Danxia canyon scene in southern Hunan. The most recognizable feature in the canyon is the combat-readiness road built in the 1960s—a passage carved by builders using steel drills and shovels into the sheer cliffs. Today, it is undulating with many curves, winding through valleys and streams. When self-driving or cycling through the mountains, the continuous red cliffs constantly change with your angle of movement. Stopping at the U-bend viewing platform to overlook the road and Danxia landscape in the same frame is a classic photo spot here, which is why many mountain-driving and photography enthusiasts call it the "Hunan version of Route 66." Walking deeper into the canyon, natural rock arch and cave landscapes like the Ming Dynasty Chuantan ruins and the Heitan karst cave unfold one after another. Climbing to Epozhai allows you to overlook the entire Danxia valley from the highest point. In the evening, the setting sun shines obliquely on the red rocks, creating distinct layers of light and shadow, making every photo look striking. There are relatively few tourists here, making it suitable for travelers who enjoy quiet, wild scenery and want to hike or cycle to relax. The Danxia area is almost completely exposed, so pay attention to sun protection and hydration in summer. Some road surfaces have gravel, so it is recommended to wear non-slip sports shoes. Follow the main road and do not take unofficial paths for a safer experience.Chenzhou · 10.2 km from Zixing

The scenic area boasts stunning natural beauty, with red rocks and green waters creating a breathtaking contrast. Rock formations like Meili Tan, Longjibei, and Chongtian Yunti showcase the area's incredible artistry. The service is also exceptional; the seating is perfectly chosen, making Gaoyiling a trustworthy destination.

From April to the end of October each year, the main attraction is the misty Xiaodongjiang River. I don't know who came up with the idea of ​​fishermen casting their nets, but it's become a popular spot for taking photos. It's incredibly crowded in the mornings. Aside from the mist, the overall experience isn't particularly worthwhile. Taking the park shuttle bus all the way to the very back didn't offer much scenery.

The scenery here is beautiful and worth visiting. However, the route instructions in the itinerary are not detailed enough, making it inconvenient for independent travelers with cars. I especially suggest adding benches for tourists to rest and wait at the area where you can watch the fishermen cast their nets.

The scenery was beautiful! It was just too hot. Those with a bit more stamina can walk to the canyon and then back; the canyon is about 500 meters long and entirely a boardwalk over the water. We didn't buy tickets for the bamboo rafts, but instead bought tickets for a luxury cruise ship (the ship was very new, had air conditioning, and even offered a second-floor sightseeing experience). It also departed from Damianzhou Wharf, round trip to Wayaoping, for 100 yuan per person – incredibly good value!

The attraction is a bit small, but very unique. The bamboo rafts weave through the Danxia mountains, giving you a feeling of effortlessly navigating through countless peaks! On October 5th, we arrived at 8:30 am and didn't have to queue.

A Healing Journey at Bailang Scenic Area In October, autumn deepened in Chenzhou. We spent two days with our elderly family members enjoying a relaxing and restful stay at the Bailang Scenic Area on Dongjiang Lake. The lake was shrouded in mist in the early morning, reminiscent of a fairyland. Sunlight occasionally filtered through the clouds onto the water, creating a shimmering shimmer. Strolling along the lakeside, a gentle breeze caressed our faces, and the air was filled with a moist, refreshing scent that seemed to wash away all worries. We first checked into the Muni Hotel, a top-rated B&B. Its wooden furniture and warm lighting exuded a homely warmth. Opening the window, the panoramic view of the lake and mountains made it impossible not to breathe deeply and appreciate the gifts of nature. In the afternoon, we enjoyed tea and chatted in the hotel, the smiles of our elderly family members as warm as the sun. The next day, we moved to the second-ranked high-end Ramada Dongjiang Lake. Its facilities are exquisite and comfortable, and from the lobby to the guest rooms, every detail exudes elegance and sophistication. Standing on the spacious balcony, we could take in the sweeping lake view, with the distant mountains looming through the mist, like a flowing landscape painting. In the evening, we enjoyed local specialties at a restaurant near the hotel. Fresh lake fish and fragrant wild vegetables captivated our taste buds, captivating the beauty of this breathtaking landscape. Though simple, these two days were filled with warmth and comfort. The beauty of Bailang Scenic Area lies not only in the tranquility of the lake and mountains, but also in its ability to slow down and spend quality time with family. Whether in the warm atmosphere of the Muni Hotel or the elegant surroundings of the Ramada, we felt a sense of comfort and relaxation. This trip to Bailang was like a gentle song, warming the years and healing the soul. It taught us that the most beautiful scenery isn't just in front of us, but in every moment spent with our families.

I booked the tickets at the entrance, which got me a discount of over ten yuan. Driving up the mountain cost 20 yuan per vehicle. Both times I visited Huilong Mountain, I was lucky enough to see the sunrise, sunset, and misty clouds – it was so beautiful!

Mahuangqiu is easy to climb, the scenery is beautiful, and it's completely free! Go early and bring an umbrella, you can easily enjoy the scenery of the sky and mountains. It will be more convenient to drive yourself. If you are tired of climbing, you can go to the nearby Longweiping to take a bamboo raft (20 per person, the master adds another 20, but unfortunately you can't slide by yourself) to relax. Enjoy two attractions in the morning

Longjing Canyon is located in Zixing City, Hunan Province. It is a comprehensive tourist attraction integrating sightseeing, leisure and health, and water entertainment. The canyon has the largest waterfall group in southern my country, the Longjing water slide, and the negative oxygen ion gathering area. It is a good tourist attraction.
