Hunan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

China's first national forest park

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is the first national forest park in China, and it is a World Natural Heritage site. It features a quartz sandstone peak forest landform, also known as the Zhangjiajie landform, which is the only landform in the world named after a region. Many famous people have visited Zhangjiajie and left inscriptions as a memento. Entering Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is like stepping into a true world geological park! As you enter the forest park, you are greeted by a forest of peculiar peaks, with exquisitely shaped and lively mountains coming into view. The landscape is unparalleled in the world, with no trace of human sculpting, truly a marvel of nature's craftsmanship. The world's number one natural stone bridge spans between two mountains, the Hallelujah Mountains in 'Avatar' stand tall and erect, the beauty of the peaks and valleys of Huangshi Village, the staggered mountains, such as the 'Little Waist', the portrait on the hundred-yuan bill, the God-coming Peak, the Star-picking Platform, all seem to bear some resemblance. Strolling along the wooden walkway of Jinbian Stream, the sunlight filters through the lush forest, weaving through the peaks and quiet valleys, listening to the ding-dong of the mountain streams, watching the monkeys by the road that are not afraid of tourists, looking up at the whimsically shaped stone peaks and letting your imagination run wild, the figures and stories that are both like and unlike anything you've seen are all very beautiful and spectacular!

Touring the mountains and waters of Zhangjiajie, visiting the seventy-two strange towers

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is breathtakingly beautiful|||It rained a bit today. There was a layer of fog on the water when we went. It was really breathtakingly beautiful. I recommend everyone to go. It's super beautiful~ Zhangjiajie is really a place where you accidentally enter a fairyland, Zhangjiajie two-day route recommendation|||Characteristics of each scenic spot: ● Yuanjiajie: There are hundreds of dragon ladders, Avatar shooting location, many tour groups. ● Tianzi Mountain: The scenic spots are concentrated, less time-consuming, easy and effortless, and there are many tour groups. ● Yangjiajie: Low level of development, few people, few tour groups, Wulongzhai and Tianbofu scenic spots have been struck by lightning and are temporarily closed. ● Huangshi Village: Independent scenic spot, few people, few tour groups, long total time (2 hours on foot). ● Ten-mile Gallery: The entrance and exit are a line, with a ground rail train. ● Jinbianxi: Much better looking than the Ten-mile Gallery, the tour group will not walk the whole journey (2.5 hours in total). ●PS: If time is limited, don't stick to popular scenic spots like Yuanjiajie and Tianzi Mountain. The scenery on the mountain is actually similar. The scenery of Huangshi Village can completely replace it, and there are fewer people. If you choose one of the Ten-mile Gallery and Jinbianxi, definitely choose Jinbianxi. If you walk the whole journey, there are very few people. ●Two-day recommended route (the route I took) DAY1: Sign door in→Bus→Bailong ladder up→Yuanjiajie→Bus→Yangjiajie→Bus→Tianzi Mountain→Cable car down→Bus→→Sign door out DAY2: Sign door in→Bus→Jinbianxi→Bus→ Huangshi Village (cable car up and down)→Bus→Exit of Forest Park Section bus: Take the bus, on the route from the sign door to various scenic spots, sit in the same position as the driver, the scenery outside the window is back to the mountain and facing the scene, it looks better. From Yangjiajie to Tianzi Mountain, and the route back to the sign door, sit on the right side of the driver, the scenery is good. The journey often passes through several scenic spots. Pay attention to the station shouted by the master and ask more to avoid getting off the wrong station. You can also tell the master if you want to get off halfway. The journey from Yangjiajie to Tianzi Mountain is longer, about 30-40 minutes, and it is a minibus. Except for Yuanjiajie is Bailong ladder, the other 3 mountain scenic spots all have cable cars up and down. One way is 65-72 yuan, ends at 18:00, it is recommended to sit on the side of the cable car operation, then turn around and lean on the glass to see the scenery, sacrifice some comfort, but the scenery is in full view. Walking up and down the mountain Generally walking is to walk the chaotic slope of Yuanjiajie, the whole journey is about 1.5 hours, it should be just walking, there is no scenery. In general, the scenic spots are just looking at a large piece of bamboo shoot-like mountains from different angles. The part of the mountain is just walking in the forest and constantly switching between going to the observation deck to look out. Some observation decks have a wide view, and some are blocked by trees and cannot see the full view of the scenery, but the overall scenery is not much different. The momentum is magnificent, it can be said that after seeing the mountains of Wulingyuan, ordinary mountains can't enter the eyes, and they can't be seen. The roads on the mountain, including the roads of Tianmen Cave, the span and quantity of ups and downs are moderate, and there is not much reaction after walking for 2 days, and those with good foot strength should not need equipment for the whole journey. Zhangjiajie Seventy-two Strange Tower Zhangjiajie Seventy-two Strange Tower, a fairyland that brightens up in front of you!✨🏯|||Today I want to recommend a tourist attraction that you absolutely can't miss-Zhangjiajie Seventy-two Strange Tower! The scenery here is really beautiful that it brightens my eyes! 😍 A towering tower, It's like coming to a fairy tale world! It's a beautiful spot that makes people linger!

Regret coming too late! This wave of rime is too fragrant!

It's not that Harbin can't afford to go, but the snow scene in Zhangjiajie is more cost-effective! Some time ago, the rime of Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie was super popular! Don't miss it again. It's getting cold again, come and see this wave of rime quickly! Feel the charm of the rime in the south! It's so beautiful~ If you don't come, you will really regret it for a year! Come to Zhangjiajie to feel the rime

Visiting Phoenix Ancient Town was magical 💫

Fenghuang Ancient Town is this unreal slice of history tucked away in Hunan, China. With its stilted houses right on the river, winding cobblestone paths, and bridges that look amazing lit up at night, it's like walking into the past. It's perfect for anyone into history, culture, or just looking for some awesome photos. Definitely a must-see for an authentic peek into China’s rich heritage. Super picturesque and full of character. It was accessible by train directly from Zhangjiajie, can be visited as a day tour but I would definitely recommend staying at least one night since trains back to Zhangjiajie depart early. That way you can enjoy this picturesque town also at night. Bonus tip: if you rent an outfit and have a photoshoot, you can do it almost at sunset time, so you have both daytime and nighttime pictures 😉 #freehotelstay

Phoenix Ancient City Night View| Border Town under the pen of Shen Congwen

|Border Town under the pen of Shen Congwen. 'A bend of Tuojiang River, a Phoenix city.' A slight mist is diffused, three thousand bright lights are brilliant, so this is the border town under the pen of Mr. Shen Congwen... Rush to the Phoenix Ancient City in western Hunan to see the 'Border Town' under the pen of Shen Congwen. The majestic ancient city wall, the neat stilted buildings, the smooth bluestone roads, the Yao girls by the Tuojiang River... These are the first impressions of the Phoenix Ancient City. Phoenix is located in western Hunan, and is a county where ethnic minorities such as Miao and Tujia are mainly concentrated. This place has a long history and was once called 'the land of barbarians', but a 'Border Town' has pushed this ancient city to the world. Today's Phoenix is the 'most beautiful small city in China' in the mouth of New Zealand writer Rewi Alley and the 'Painting Township' under the pen of painter Huang Yongyu, which is comparable to the ancient city of Lijiang in Yunnan and the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi. 'Wait for a city of misty rain, just for you; cross a lifetime of love, only with you' 'I have walked over many bridges in my life, seen clouds many times, drunk many kinds of wine, but only loved a person at the best age' Perhaps many people like Shen Congwen because of this sentence. And because of his 'Border Town', they fell in love with Phoenix.

High-speed rail direct! The thousand-year-old ancient town hanging on the waterfall made me cry!

I have been watching the waterfall in the mountains for a long time, always fantasizing about being able to live in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, as if it is a real paradise ^_^ In front of us in China, there is indeed such a place that can realize this wish. This is an ancient and pleasant border town that has experienced a thousand years of history, surrounded by water and the waterfall runs through the entire town. When night falls, the scattered lights are like a galaxy in the world, and the dreamy waterfall is even more colorful. This land once became famous because of a movie by famous director Xie Jin, and was renamed for this reason. This place is Furong Town in Xiangxi, Hunan, a severely underestimated niche attraction. Take advantage of the good season of autumn, why not pack up and set off! If you choose high-speed rail , you can get off at the "Furong Town" high-speed rail station, and then take a taxi for a few minutes to arrive, or drive to the "Furong Town Tourist Service Center" or "Furong Town Scenic Area Tianze Parking Lot" (the latter requires a ticket purchase first). The ticket price is 108 yuan/person, valid for 3 days, unlimited entry and exit. The recommended tour route is the entrance of the scenic spot ➡️ Baitang ➡️ Xizhou Copper Column ➡️ Tuwang Bridge ➡️ Tingtao Road Ancient Street ➡️ Guanpu Terrace Yinan Theater ➡️ Huashao Camping Base ➡️ Chushu Tongjin ➡️ Furong Town Big Waterfall ➡️ Viewing Gallery Bridge ➡️ City Gate Wharf ➡️ Wuli Stone Street ("Furong Town" movie location, Liu Xiaoqing's tofu shop) The special performance time is 9:00-22:00, the scenic spot continuously performs "Flowers Bloom and Furong·Bisca's Carnival", allowing you to appreciate the charm of the Tujia culture. The viewing platform at night is a night view not to be missed. The lights start at 19:30, and you can check in with the same pose as Yang Mi. In terms of accommodation, the price of homestays in the peak season is slightly expensive, and the price of waterfall-viewing rooms is above 350 yuan; accommodation outside the scenic area is more affordable, and parking is also more convenient. In terms of food, there are all kinds of special Xiangxi pickles, Liu Xiaoqing's tofu, stir-fried bamboo shoots, hot and sour noodles, rice wine, osmanthus fish, bacon, etc. In addition, the directly operated Tufeng Miaoyun Boutique Shop in the scenic area (opposite the Furong Grand View at the entrance of the scenic area) provides special products with Xiangxi style, such as secret T-shirts, sunny and rainy umbrellas, silverware, dolls, etc.

Furong Town at night is 🔥 The scenery in this town , furong town is spectacular. it was super exciting seeing the ancient town and its lights were awesome with breathtaking views. we spent the night there and stayed in a cool inn which was super clean. i loved every bit of it , the city is so peaceful#naturalwonders the waterfalls and lights are colorful at night and one would even want to spent the whole night walking around the place . its got the best night view and pictures the were perfect there was just automatic lighting which made the view to be just awesome #bucketlistreboot#passionpassport #staycation #gooutside #awesomepic #nightlife##

Finally took a photo with Chairman Mao at the head of Orange Island~|||The big screen at May 1st Square is good for taking pictures

|||The big screen at May 1st Square is good for taking pictures. It's really beautiful to catch the afterglow of the sunset🌇 We took the sightseeing car to the statue and then walked back. There are many parks along the way and the scenery is very beautiful. It's really comfortable to take a walk after dusk🎀 📍The atmosphere of taking pictures at the big screen of May 1st Square at the intersection of IFS International Finance Center and Huangxing Pedestrian Street is very strong💗

The sunset in Changsha is also romantically unswerving

In Changsha, there is a romantic appointment with the sunset. When the sunlight gently falls, the entire city seems to be surrounded by warm colors. 💖✨ The sunset is like a poem, gradually setting, dyeing the sky into a golden color. Its afterglow gently touches the earth, as if giving all life endless warmth and strength. At this moment, time seems to freeze, leaving only this beautiful moment. 🌅💞 With the setting of the sunset, the entire city gradually fell into tranquility. The busy streets quieted down, people stopped their hurried footsteps, and looked up at this beautiful sunset. It seems that at this moment, all troubles and fatigue are taken away by the sunset, leaving only purity and beauty. 😍💕 The sunset in Changsha is a feast for the eyes and the soul. It makes us feel the beauty and power of life, and also makes us full of expectations and hopes for tomorrow. 💪✨

Mao Zedong 🗿

Changsha, the capital of central China’s Hunan province, is a large city with a history dating to the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 B.C.). Today it’s known for its rare collection of excavated Western Han dynasty tombs, known as the Mawangdui. It’s also associated with Mao Zedong, who studied and lived here before joining the Chinese Communist Party in the 1920s.

Orange Island 🇨🇳 Changsha

A tourist spot with lots of Chinese characteristics. Massive political statues ✅ Temples ✅ Local famous tea chain ✅ Gardens ✅ Famous residences ✅ A random tourist activity centre with buggies and caravans, and a shooting range ✅ A petit tram✅ What more could you want, it's a fun touristy day out. Getting There- It's easiest to get a taxi to the main car parks on the island. Then you'll need to walk or use the petit trams to navigate the island and its many tourist spots. There is a main island path and a prominade too. For the massive figure head you'll need to register to get in with your passport or/and QR code. You could spend an hour or a day here, but I would recommend an early start as the crowds can be quite big.
