Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Misty Dongjiang Lake (东江湖)
Dongjiang Lake, a reservoir located in Chenzhou, southeast of Hunan Province. Worth experiencing a combination of lakes, dams, mountains and caves with waterfalls and forests. The largest artificial lake in Hunan situated at Zixing (so be prepared to spend a whole day after entering into the scenic spot😁)
Attractions - Misty “Little” Dongjiang River, Dongjiang Dam, Hougushan Waterfall and Longjing Canyon
Specialty - Dongjiang fish; one of the four special products in Chenzhou and Chuyun Fairy Tea(black tea actually 😅)

Travel with Geo
Dongjiang Lake, Chenzhou, Hunan
Dongjiang Lake is a huge area with tons of things to see, do and explore. When entering you can buy tickets which include bus and boat and rafting tickets. The bus takes you past a dam and to the main area with restaurants and shops. You can then walk to some of the waterfalls and shorter paths. The boat from there takes you to the island after a 20 min cruise where you can do more walks or go into the huge limestone karst cave which you can see in my pictures is truly spectacular. There is an option of white water rafting on the other side of the lake which I didn't try.
The cave was the biggest highlight for me, it was cool and damp and the paths lead you up and down and around the maze like cave for about a 20-30 minute walk. There are bats on the ceiling and huge limestone features everywhere lit up by multicoloured lights. It's like an alien world and something that no pictures do justice. The cave is very large and at the end of the path you can buy souvenirs.
In dongjiang lake I would recommend trying some local small spicy fish snacks.

Chenzhou Travel Guide: The Ultimate Budget Travel Guide for College Students for a Two-Day, One-Night Trip!
Travel Section: Departing from Guangzhou Station, it only takes 1.5 hours by high-speed train to reach Chenzhou West Station, with ticket prices around 170+ yuan. If time and budget allow, you can also opt for the more nostalgic sleeper train, which takes longer (about 4.5 hours) but is more affordable and offers a closer look at local life. Upon disembarking at Chenzhou Station, you can immediately taste the authentic Yu Fen and Sha Zhu Fen, both delicious and economical. Since the attractions are quite far apart, it is recommended to book a ride-share through a legitimate platform. Although you may encounter drivers who charge extra, it is still generally economical.
Landscape and Food Exploration: The first recommended destination is Gaoyiling, known for its spectacular Danxia landform. The best time to visit is on a clear day, which will result in better photo outcomes. For ticket prices, students with valid IDs can enjoy a half-price discount at only 49 yuan; adults pay 96 yuan. The tour route includes the Stonehenge, the challenging Dengyun Ladder, cliff plank walkways, the Giant Lizard Lake resembling a green iguana, Dragon's Back, suspension bridges, and the Shouting Spring among many other unique landscapes. Remember to bring supplies, as goods are relatively expensive at the mountain top. In the evening, head to the freely accessible Yuhou Street, which, as the lights come on, feels like a 'Little Suzhou' in the Jiangnan water town style. Consider climbing the arch bridge for a panoramic view of Yuhou Street and try on various ethnic costumes for a photo shoot.
The next morning, be sure to visit the enchanting Dongjiang Lake, where the misty surface of the lake at this time creates a unique atmosphere. Depending on your schedule, you can choose different routes; student tickets are only 40 yuan. If you're on a tight schedule and can only experience Route One, it's still enough to enjoy the beauty of Xiao Dongjiang, watch the fisherman's net casting performance, take a leisurely boat ride, take commemorative photos, visit waterfalls, the hydroelectric station, and ride the thrilling 'over-mountain' sightseeing car. Additionally, the food by Dongjiang Lake is equally tempting, with local snacks like fried salmon, Qiao Mouth Fish, and desserts like Bing Fen and Ci Ba, all of which are not to be missed.
Accommodation Strategy: We chose a homestay in a villa area near Dongjiang Lake, which was quiet and elegant, surrounded by beautiful peach blossoms. The original price for the double room we booked was 88 yuan, but the considerate landlord upgraded us to a room equipped with a projector. Both the interior decoration and the facilities were very well-designed, clean, and new, making it an extremely cost-effective choice. It's worth mentioning that by sharing photos of the homestay on social media, you can even enjoy free electric bike rides.

At the B&B in Xiaodongjiang, Zixing, Chenzhou, we work while staying and taking care of the child
During the day, we shoot the B&B, and at night we play in Xiaodongjiang. The water in Xiaodongjiang is really comfortable. We took the boat three times, and what I love the most is the mist over the water and mountains after the rain!

MUNI Muni East Lake Resort Hotel is truly a great choice for both travel and accommodation
May Day Travel | Chenzhou Hotel Recommendation | Chenzhou Homestay | East Lake||I decided to visit Chenzhou for the May Day holiday, knowing it might be crowded, but I still wanted to see the beauty of East Lake. I didn't expect that a hotel I stumbled upon online would become the most delightful surprise of my trip to Chenzhou~
The hotel is a boutique homestay hotel located near East Lake, named Muni Resort Hotel, and can be found on various booking apps.
Before check-in, the hotel had kindly upgraded our room to a larger one and sent an overview of the surrounding scenic areas to help us plan our trip. They also arranged for a butler to provide full service during our stay, asking about our arrival time, which was very considerate!
The overall decor and facilities are really comfortable. The decoration is refreshing and cozy, the room is bigger and prettier than expected, and the bedding is also very comfortable and clean. The room is equipped with a projector, and the quality of the disposable items is very good. The complimentary drinking water and coffee and tea bags are also from good brands.
Our room included breakfast, and since we knew the scenic spots were far apart, we definitely planned to eat breakfast at the hotel. We were expecting a standard buffet breakfast, so we didn't have high hopes, but to our surprise, breakfast was freshly made Hunan noodles! The sour long beans with lean meat noodles were delicious, and the watermelon provided every day was very sweet. There was also tea available in the adjacent tea room. After looking at the regular meal menu, it seemed reasonably priced and delicately prepared, but we didn't get a chance to try it this time.
Lastly, I really want to praise the hotel's service attitude. Not to mention that every staff member was super enthusiastic in greeting us, but the evening ritual was also a pleasant surprise. Sitting by the bonfire, listening to the guy play guitar and sing, and having a drink really felt like a holiday. One evening, we wanted to visit the night market at Bailang, and we just asked the staff how to get there. Unexpectedly, they arranged a car to take us, and we were truly touched by the hotel's thorough and warm service. When checking out, the lady even gave us a small gift. I would definitely consider staying here again and recommend it to friends who want to visit Chenzhou.

💁♀️ Editor's suggestion: Wear good cold protection equipment, prepare enthusiasm and curiosity, and start an unparalleled adventure!
.
📝Preparation:
1️⃣Transportation: High-speed rail arrives at Chenzhou West Station, 2 hours drive to the scenic area! Here is a suggestion, Chenzhou attractions are relatively scattered, it is not convenient to take a taxi. It is more reasonable to book a regular custom tour independent group in advance, without worrying about the constraints of group tours, black car carpooling tours, gathering time, play time, and being controlled by poor hotels!
2️⃣Equipment: Remember to bring warm clothes and non-slip shoes, because the snow on the mountain will be slippery!
3️⃣Time: The viewing time is every winter, especially in January and February, the fog and snow scenery at this time is spectacular!
.
🔆3 days and 2 nights essence itinerary:

❣️Day2: Mangshan Five Finger Peak East Gate-Cable Car-Flat Road Plank Road-Motianling Elevator-Stay near Dongjiang Lake
❣️Day3: Chenzhou Gao Yiling-Wa Yao Ping Ancient Town-Return home

🌄Five Finger Peak Strategy:
1️⃣Mountain climbing: After arriving at Mangshan Five Finger Peak, we need to take a cable car for 25 minutes. The mountain scenery along the way is very beautiful, especially the forest covered with fog, which makes people feel like they are in a fairy tale world!
2️⃣Fog viewing: Fog is formed when cold air meets clouds, they condense on tree branches, forming beautiful ice crystals, as if nature is wearing a gorgeous white dress!
.
🌬️ The magical beauty of the fog and snow scenery:
Imagine that the entire mountain peak is surrounded by frozen fog, as if in a fairy tale world. The branches and leaves of the trees are all covered with crystal clear ice crystals, like a fairyland in silver.

1️⃣Gao Yiling Scenic Area: The Danxia landform here is a business card of Chenzhou! The towering red mountains and unique landform landscapes all show the craftsmanship of nature.
2️⃣Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area: The clear river water shines with gem-like light under the sun, surrounded by mountains, as if it is a landscape line between heaven and earth.
3️⃣Yangtian Lake Prairie: When you set foot on this vast prairie, you will be shocked by the beauty of the green grass and lake water.
.
📝 Travel strategy tips:
1️⃣ Time selection: The fog and snow scenery period is in winter every year, generally from November to February of the following year.
2️⃣ Dressing suggestions: Because the altitude is high and the temperature on the mountain top is low, be sure to keep warm. It is recommended to wear a thick down jacket, a windproof jacket, a warm hat and gloves, and also prepare non-slip shoes.
3️⃣ Chenzhou Gao Yiling: Mainly outdoor activities, it is recommended not to be too heavy, wear flat sports shoes to play.

Travel with Geo
Gaoyiling scenic area, Chenzhou, Hunan
Getting There - Taxi or car from Chenzhou takes about 30 minutes. Close to Fetian mountain.
Attractions - Scenic views, hiking trails, small rural village with a chicken farm, glass bridge
Hotels - none close by, closest in Chenzhou
Food & Restaurants - small stands selling water and snacks but no restaurants.
Gaoyiling scenic area is an amazing place for walking and hiking and seeing awesome views. The landscape is interbedded red sandstone hills with steep drops into rivers and small lakes surrounding. The views are simply awe inspiring. When walking around here I would recommend a sun umbrella, sun screen and lots of water. You can buy water and other drinks here from the locals. There is a 20RMB charge to enter the hiking trails. When high on some hills take extreme caution near edges as the drop offs are steep and lethal, some are not fenced off. The only downside is the hills have quite a lot of trash so make sure to take yours home with you and be a good tourist. It's also extremely hot here in peak summer so maybe avoid that time of year.

Tips:
* You may be surprised by it's beauty when first arrive, but the most beautiful part is on the peak.
* If you have a drone, highly suggested to bring it so that you can take a whole and fantastic view of GaoYi Ridge, but do watch out and step out the ridge.
* If taking pics, watch out of the steep cliffs.
* Pls bring your own trash to the dustbin.
