Chenzhou Weekend Travelogue

2023/09/15 - 2023/09/17 Transportation: After work on Friday, take the high-speed train from Guangzhou South Station to Chenzhou West Station, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Accommodation: Dawuli Hotel (Chenzhou Wuling Square Store) It takes about 18-20 minutes to take a taxi from the high-speed rail to the hotel. The corridors and rooms in the hotel emit a musty smell, the smell in the room is unbearable, the windows are small, not enough to disperse the smell in the room, the air conditioning is not powerful at all, finally negotiated with the front desk to change to a room with a balcony, there is also a smell, but there is a balcony, not so stuffy, stay for 2 nights, so that's it. Attractions: Mangshan·Five Finger Peak + Yangtian Lake Prairie Cost: High-speed rail + hotel + chartered car for 2 days + tickets, per capita is more than 1400, the tickets bought from the chartered driver are a few tens of yuan cheaper; The original attractions we wanted to go to were: Yangtian Lake Prairie, Xiaodongjiang, Gao Yiling Danxia Landform, Mangshan Five Finger Peak, but each attraction is really too scattered, starting from Wuling Square, it takes at least one and a half hours to drive to each attraction, and it takes more than two hours to reach Five Finger Peak. After comparing taxis and chartered cars, chartered cars are more convenient, self-driving is also good, but some mountain roads are winding and steep, testing driving skills. Considering that there are only two days, and I don't want to be too compact, so one attraction a day. On Saturday, Mangshan·Five Finger Peak, known as a mountain that does not need to be climbed, the ticket is to enter and exit from the east gate, take the cable car to a platform, start climbing, basically all are flat plank roads, after walking for a while, take the escalator up, we split into 2 groups with our buddies, I and another buddy took the sightseeing elevator to the top of the mountain, one way 40￥/person, the other group of buddies challenged themselves and walked the stairs, I really admire them; On the way back, we all agreed to take the sightseeing elevator down, but had to pay an additional ￥40/person, unexpectedly, we still needed to buy extra tickets to take the sightseeing elevator when we came down; Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful, it was raining, everything around was white, and we couldn't see anything, it felt a pity, after all, it's not easy to come here, and the chance to come again is not great. On Sunday, we set off at 10:30 to go to Yangtian Lake Prairie, a bit worried about whether the attraction would not meet expectations. As a result, it was greatly unexpected, the prairie on the mountain, the weather was very good, the scenery was also very beautiful, not too many people. It made up for the regret of climbing the mountain yesterday. There are activities such as feeding alpacas, feeding sika deer, archery, and grass sliding. We bought tickets that included 2 play projects, but if you want to continue playing, you can also buy tickets on the spot, 30￥/person. Then, the two days of play ended, I told my buddy, I feel like these two days have passed for a long time. She said that we slept less on these two days than we usually do at home on weekends, and we were all on the road, so it would feel like a long time. Well, it makes sense.
