About 30km or so outside of Jishou in Xiangxi, Hunan province sits a small park that’s filled with multiple waterfalls lining the sides of the canyon area. Getting There - Jishou town is connected via a high-speed train and sits on the line to Zhangjiajie so, if you can get the train to Zhangjiajie then you’ll be able to get a high speed to Jishou. Attractions - old town/ canyon area. Food & Restaurants - food places are quite few and far between when it comes to notable places so I would highly recommend having some coffee drip cup things so you don’t rely on a café for your caffeine. #thisischina #nationalpark #naturalwonders
