The trip to Chenzhou, which was blocked by the typhoon and slowed down by the heavy rain, was really not easy! (Who knows how many times my high-speed rail ticket has been refunded and changed) Originally planned for a two-day and one-night weekend special forces trip, it was temporarily changed to two and a half days and two nights But as a result, I saw some unplanned scenery DAY1 Arrived at Chenzhou West Station around 3 pm-- Then go to the parking lot to pick up the car (It is highly recommended for friends with good driving skills to rent a car by themselves, which is more convenient, and if there are many people, you can also charter a car directly, we two people still feel that renting a car by ourselves is more comfortable) Yuhou Street (Originally not included in the itinerary, but because it was already afternoon when I arrived, the time was not right for other major attractions, it was under renovation, it was a commercial street with more characteristic buildings, it should look much better when the lights are on at night, but we left before nightfall Fat Wife Bundled Duck There are quite a few people, the small portion of the bundled duck is 88, the large portion is $128, the taste is okay, a bit salty, Cantonese people say it's very spicy Homestay near Dongjiang Lake (Have some pig-killing powder at night) DAY2 Get up at five o'clock and set off to see the fog in Xiaodongjiang (It only takes 5 minutes to walk from the homestay to the tourist center) Just got on the bus at 6 o'clock to the No. 2 viewing platform (Generally, it is defaulted to stop here) Start waiting for the fisherman's net casting performance, the whole scenery is very beautiful, and as the sun gradually rises, the landscape also changes Walk all the way to the No. 3 platform, we took the bus back the same way, if you have time and energy, you can continue to walk forward) --Go to the breakfast shop in the old community to have a bowl of fish powder, then go straight to Gaoyiling Tourist Area (We drove directly to the west gate to park, bought electronic tickets at the west gate to enter, you can ride a motorcycle or walk to the top of the mountain, the whole journey is relatively shorter than the north and south gates, sports chickens can handle it) --Return to the homestay for a short rest and then go to Changyingtou Wharf Bailang Wharf (It's also an unplanned itinerary, although it's just a lakeside highway, but under the blessing of the weather, I often sigh that it's beautiful, the lake is so clear, blue and green) --Go to Dingjiajia Hunan Cuisine Dongjiang Store for dinner at night (Because it's a bit late, many special dishes are gone, regret) DAY3 Sleep until naturally awake, go to the city to have a cup of local milk tea Ni Chang Tea Dance --Set off for Yangtian Lake Prairie (The road up the mountain is indeed thrilling with nine bends and eighteen turns, the place is as its name suggests, it's a lake + prairie, the weather is sunny and foggy, the temperature is cold and hot, the scenery is okay, but it's indeed more commercialized, and there are more charges) Some thoughts Guangdong has been raining heavily, but the few days I came to Chenzhou were unexpectedly good weather. The local September just held a tourism development conference, so it might be for this reason (I don't know without comparison before and after), it feels that the roads are very spacious and clean, and along the way in Zixing, there are beautiful flowers everywhere

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.
