The fastest and most comprehensive guide to Gao Yiling, wish I knew sooner
Gao Yiling Scenic Area If you visit Gao Yiling in Chenzhou, you won't regret it, it's too beautiful, a masterpiece of nature! Not knowing the guide and taking 4.5 hours is simply frustrating! It's still under development, worth a visit!
⚠️If you don't want to backtrack and want to see all the scenery from the top, you must save this guide, otherwise you won't be able to get down after dark, and there are no trees above, you'll be exposed to the sun!
Don't ever start from the north gate! Don't ever start from the north gate!
1⃣️First, park your car at the north gate parking lot🅿️, buy tickets online, actually, you can buy tickets at any gate, adult tickets, children tickets. Because we were climbing with two children, entering from the north gate would take 4.5 hours, and it's in direct sunlight.
2⃣️At the north gate, we found a local's car, 100 yuan for 4 people to take us to the west gate entrance. You might ask if you can drive to the west gate yourself, first of all, there's traffic, the west gate is all mountain roads, you still need to find a place to park🅿️, traffic, from the west gate you can only walk back to get your car. So leave the car at the north gate, take a chartered car to the west gate, climb to the north gate to see all the scenery and get your car.
⚠️If you are chartered to Gao Yiling, get off directly at the west gate
3⃣️The west gate stops entry at 5 pm, it's best to arrive by 4:30 pm, the sun is also setting, not so hot. There are also motorcycles at the west gate entrance, 15-20 yuan per person to take you close to the top of a mountain, it's best to ride, don't save that money, because there are several more mountains⛰️ to go. If you're only climbing one mountain, you can skip the ride
4⃣️A few steps from the motorcycle's final stop, you can see the Haste landform mountain, a 20-minute walk to reach, this is just one of them, there are drone aerial photography services, you can also bring your own drone to shoot. If too tired, you can also directly return to the west gate from here, continue walking for more fun
5⃣️There are mountain top swings, thrilling steps, cableways, mountain top bicycles at the top, 50 yuan per person to experience, personally think it's enough to try one.
6⃣️Continue over 2-3 mountain tops, Lizard Lake, Green Hat, Giant Rock Town, to reach the north gate exit
With children, the whole journey took us 3 hours, our legs were soft, but we saw all the major scenic spots, quite satisfied. The sun wasn't so fierce in the afternoon.
⚠️Be aware of sun protection, beware of heatstroke
⚠️Stay hydrated, water is super expensive up there, 10-12 yuan a bottle
⚠️Super knee-wearing! Legs ache and feel weak
If you're bringing children, I suggest this way to enjoy the whole journey, save time and not be too sunburnt. Be prepared for tiredness, but all the scenery is worth it!
The most anticipated attraction is very beautiful. It took more than 4 hours to walk through the whole process. If you want to experience the amusement projects in the park in turn, it is recommended to go from the line of the sky ladder, you can not go back.
Gaoyiling net red for a long time! Finally have the opportunity to punch in the New Year's Eve. I have heard that the original net red Danxia spine has been built with guardrails. Still how much to expect, due to the heavy traffic jam, when it arrived, it was late, and the scenic spot should be closed. In order to enjoy the beautiful scenery that has been brushed, the hotel on the edge of the scenic spot was set. In the hotel's rooms, you can see the Gaoyiling of Danxia landform. It is still a little happy to enter the scenic spot. The service facilities in the scenic spot are not very sound. There are cockroaches to help you take aerial photographs. Because it is still necessary to rush the way back, I did not go to the commanding height to continue to take the plank road around, the original road back to the hotel is actually the entrance and exit of the scenic spot. If it is sunny, the effect of the lake will be better.
It is worth a visit. The trail construction is very good and the viewing attractions are set up very reasonable. You can reach the peak by taking less detours from the north gate. From the heights, you can overlook the entire Gaoyiling beauty. The green mountains and green waters are really a good scenery in Hunan.
I recommend this Gaoyiling to everyone to visit. I think this weather is particularly comfortable and not afraid of being very hot. Remember not to bring your coats up, because you go up to the heat, I just walked halfway and have already returned. In summer, remember to bring your sunscreen clothes and take a helicopter. There is also a small glass bridge to take pictures.
It is recommended that you enter the south gate from the west gate. That way, you will go downhill (mounting the ladder). If you enter from the south gate, the first stop is to climb the ladder. It is the most tiring in the whole scenic spot. After climbing, the whole person has no strength. The only drawback of Ximen is that there is no parking lot. You can park your car at the south gate, take a taxi to the west gate, and then return to the south gate to get the car.
The scenic spot is right next to the national road. There are three entrances to the north, south gate and west gate. The north and south gate are the main entrance. The west gate is similar to the back mountain gate and is close to the core viewing attractions. The scenic spot is very large and distinctive. There are mountains and waters. The mountain is not about 300 meters high. It may take 4-6 hours to walk slowly. It is very worth watching.
Very distinctive, a bit like the reduced version of Wuyi Mountain, but it has its own characteristics, a little moving to change the scenery. We entered from the west gate and exited from the south gate. Unfortunately, the point of the north gate was not transferred to a few points, and the other was that the road condition of the west gate was slightly not very good.
