    I checked the weather forecast and it was not very hot when I went there. It rained lightly in the morning and cleared up in the afternoon. You can play both outdoor and indoor activities. There were not many people and no groups, so basically you don't need to queue. I also rode horses, saw small animals, rode the Ferris wheel, and checked in for several experience projects. The children were 7 and 12 years old and they all had a lot of fun. It is a parent-child park worth recommending. Two adults and two children bought a parent-child ticket plus an adult ticket.

    Friendly reminder: Remember to buy tickets for the shuttle bus up and down the mountain! Don't force yourself to endure the hardship! It's a great deal at 88 yuan! The road up the mountain isn't particularly scenic; it's mostly a winding, narrow road. It requires sincere prayers to climb; the incense is very strong and believed to be very efficacious. However, for someone like me who just wants to enjoy the scenery, other mountains or other places in Hengyang would be more worthwhile.

    Changde Wildlife Park is quite suitable for family trips. You can get up close and personal with the animals, watch animal shows, and kids will have a great time feeding them. There's also a playground with attractions that are suitable for children. It's definitely worth a visit if you have the time!

    The China Giant Panda Garden is quite far from the city center; a taxi ride from Yueyang Tower takes 30-40 minutes. Choose the Giant Panda Garden Visitor Center as your destination; the fare should be around 40 yuan. After getting off the taxi, walk towards the shuttle bus stop. The driver will tell you where the return shuttle bus stop is. The park is large; you can easily walk around in about three hours, including watching the pandas eat and sleep. When I went today, it happened to be lunchtime for the panda cubs, so I was able to film many of them eating. After watching the pandas, it's a long walk to catch the shuttle bus. The panda garden is also some distance from bus stops, so it's best to take a taxi or drive yourself.

    Just in time for the 3rd World Dongting International Reed Art Festival 2025, a cultural tourism event, the festival will showcase the grandeur of Dongting Lake and the elegance of reeds, with "symbiotic life" as its core and natural ecology as its foundation, creating a magnificent winter cultural tourism scene in Yueyang and adding color to the otherwise unremarkable Junshan Island.

    Climbing Yueyang Tower, one truly understands that the phrase "embracing distant mountains and swallowing the Yangtze River" is no exaggeration. The ancient tower, with its intricate mortise and tenon joints and flying eaves, reflects the misty waves of Dongting Lake through its red walls, creating a picturesque scene of "shimmering light and leaping gold." The couplets along the corridors encapsulate a thousand years of cultural heritage, and the spirit of "worrying about joys and sorrows" echoes with the sound of the waves. At night, the tower is ablaze with lights, and the integration of culture and tourism gives this thousand-year-old landmark a new lease on life—a cultural feast where both scenery and spirit are unparalleled. The weather was great, perfect for taking photos.

    This time, the hot spring experience was very good. There are many pools and the surrounding environment is also beautiful, which is very suitable for taking photos and checking in. The temperature of the spring water is just right. I can feel comfortable all over my body after just taking a bath. I don’t know if it has any effect, but I can really feel the comfortable feeling of soaking. There are drinking water and towels every few steps in the hot spring, which is very convenient to change towels. The buffet in the evening is very delicious. The lounge is large and the bed is very comfortable. The service attitude of the hot spring department is very good. The waiter showed an excellent work attitude and professionalism, which made me feel very surprised and satisfied. No matter what I need, she always responds quickly and provides thoughtful service, which makes me feel the warmth of home.

    It's pretty good and quite interesting. The price for a double ticket is also quite reasonable. Besides the good show, there are some fun things to do inside, but the facilities aren't very complete. Some parts of the show are quite moving. If you like stage plays, you should check it out.

    This was my first time visiting Wugong Mountain. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with dense forests in the first section and alpine meadows in the second. Although it was tiring to climb all the way to the Golden Summit, it was well worth the trip.

    After consulting online guides on how to easily access Mingyue Mountain, I decided to take a combination of electric carts, cable cars, and more electric carts along the Qingyun Plank Road. The entire route was quite beautiful and well worth a visit. Afterwards, soaking your feet in a foot bath back in Wentang Town would be even more relaxing.
