🎉🎉Hi, friends, today I am going to share with you a super beautiful tourist route - a three-day tour of Yangtian Lake Prairie in Chenzhou, a city around Guangzhou! 😍😍 💼Travel preparation: First of all, you need to make travel arrangements in advance, understand the opening hours and ticket prices of each attraction. Since public transportation in Chenzhou is not very convenient, it is recommended to rent a car for self-driving. The price of car rental is about 300 yuan for a round trip, and the bus fare is 10 yuan per person. 🏠Accommodation selection: It is recommended to stay near Xiaodongjiang, which is convenient for getting up early to play in Dongjiang the next day. Moreover, the price of staying near Xiaodongjiang is relatively cheap. Itinerary: Day 1: Yangtian Lake Prairie 6-8 am is the best time to watch Xiaodongjiang, the scenery is the most beautiful at this time, and there are fewer people. So, it is recommended to get up early and go to Xiaodongjiang. After enjoying the beautiful scenery of Xiaodongjiang, you can go to Gaoyiling Scenic Area to enjoy the spectacular Danxia landform. But be careful! In the afternoon, you can go to Yangtian Lake Prairie to get close to animals. The prairie scenery and animals here are very worth seeing. Day 2: Yangtian Lake Prairie In the morning, you can go to Yangtian Lake Prairie again to enjoy the sunrise and animals on the prairie. If you are lucky, you can also see the sea of clouds! In the afternoon, you can participate in some outdoor activities on the grassland, such as horse riding, grass gliding, etc. These activities are very interesting and can let you fully experience the charm of the grassland. Day 3: Xiaodongjiang + Gaoyiling Scenic Area In the morning, you can go to Xiaodongjiang to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Here, you can see the scene of fishermen casting nets, which is very suitable for taking pictures. In the afternoon, you can go to Gaoyiling Scenic Area to enjoy the spectacular Danxia landform. Here, you can climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire scenic area. Precautions: Be careful when playing in Yangtian Lake Prairie and Gaoyiling Scenic Area, do not climb mountains or cliffs without protective measures. When watching fishermen cast nets in Xiaodongjiang, keep a distance and do not disturb their normal work. In terms of accommodation, you can consider choosing economical hotels or homestays, which are relatively cheap.

Yantian Lake!! Will go again next time! Although the road trip to Yangtian Lake on May Day took three hours and was stuck for an hour, it's really worth going!! The big lawn inside is amazing. There are really too many options, and the windmill is also nearby. You must choose a good weather day to go, it's super beautiful and healing!! If possible, you can lie on the lawn for an afternoon and take some amazing photos. Let's go, family!

Attractions: Bailang Scenic Area - Yangtian Lake (🎫120 yuan) - Dongjiang Lake (🎫80 yuan) - Gao Yiling (🎫80 yuan) Route: Day1⃣️Bailang Day2⃣️Dongjiang Lake - Gao Yiling ⚠️Suggested Route: Day1⃣️Yangtian Lake, Day2⃣️Dongjiang Lake - Gao Yiling Day3⃣️Bailang 1⃣️We took the high-speed train from Guangzhou to Chenzhou, about 1.5h. After getting off the train station, we took a taxi directly to the Bailang Scenic Area, about an hour and a half by taxi. We arrived in the afternoon, so we only went to Bailang on the first day. Bailang is really beautiful in the afternoon. You can rent an electric car to tour the lake. It was originally 40 yuan for 1.5h. We bargained to rent two for 70 yuan for 1.5h each. Each car also requires a deposit of 200 yuan, which will be refunded after the car is returned. You must eat grilled small fish in the Bailang Scenic Area, which is fresh and delicious. I still drool when I think about it. Only the ones in Bailang are authentic. ⚠️⚠️It's hard to get a taxi there, so don't leave too late. We couldn't get a taxi at that time, but luckily the owner of the homestay helped us call a taxi. 2⃣️We didn't go to Yangtian Lake because the grass is not green at this time, so we eliminated it. Yangtian Lake is very beautiful in summer or when it snows in winter. If you want to go then, you can go, but if you don't mind the grass not being green, you can go. 3⃣️We went to Dongjiang Lake early in the morning at eight o'clock on the second day (⚠️⚠️⚠️Remember to make an appointment in advance, the time of fogging and netting is different each time, so you have to decide according to the current climate. Check it out or ask the locals when you go. We were told by the owner of the homestay). 4⃣️We took a taxi to the west gate of Gao Yiling (Navigation address: Farmer's Manor/Gao Yiling Village Committee) and then took a 15 yuan local motorcycle up the mountain. Once you get up, you are directly on the mountain and you don't need to climb. But the mountain road here is very steep, anyway, I was quite panicked. Then we went down the mountain to the south gate (⚠️But a friend who was carrying a suitcase was hot and sunny, so we didn't go in when we got to the mountain and returned). If you are brave, you can challenge it after all. Because we didn't climb the mountain and had a lot of time left, we went to the city center for a stroll, but it seemed that there was nothing good to stroll around, just to kill time, but the people in Chenzhou are very enthusiastic❤️ Summary: Travel is short, but you can see a lot of beautiful things. Sometimes you may choose to set off because of a scenery. If you think about it, just boldly set off and enjoy every process, meet some like-minded friends, this feeling and fate is actually quite wonderful.
