The trip to Chenzhou Ancient City was totally worth it! I could stay for half a month~

Pre-trip Preparation - Documents: Bring ID cards, student IDs, etc. for discounted tickets. - Clothing: For summer visits, pack breathable outfits, sun-protective clothing, swimsuits, sunglasses, and sun hats, plus a light jacket for temperature changes. - Others: Prepare medicines, phone, camera, power bank, charger, and download local maps/navigation apps. Transportation Guide - External: Fly to Chenzhou Beihu Airport or take high-speed rail to Chenzhou West Station (some trains stop at Chenzhou Station). - Local: Take buses (most attractions accessible), taxis, or rent a car for flexibility. Attractions - Gaoyiling Scenic Area (Feitianshan Town, Suxian District): Crimson sandstone ridges contrast with emerald lakes like a dragon’s spine. Visit after 4 PM to avoid heat and catch sunset views.  - Dongjiang Lake Tourist Zone: The misty river resembles ink paintings from fantasy dramas. Best fog-watching: 5:30-7:00 AM (June-Sept). Don’t miss the net-casting show at Viewpoint 2.  - Yangtianhu Grassland: Wildflowers, white windmills, and Hobbit houses dot the landscape. Try horseback riding or grass sliding.  - Mangshan Wuzhifeng Scenic Spot: Features cliff elevators and a 3.5km barrier-free walkway, offering epic shots even on cloudy days.  Food Recommendations - Local dishes: Dongjiang salmon sashimi, "Slaughtered Pork" noodles, bundled duck, taro duck. The salmon is tender; pork noodle broth is rich. - Snacks: Qifengdu fish noodles, Matian tofu, Linwu duck—found across Chenzhou streets. Accommodation Tips - Downtown: Stay in Suxian/Beihu Districts (e.g., Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale Chenzhou) for transport and food options. - Dongjiang Lake: Choose lakeside B&Bs like Qishe for misty river views. - Mangshan Base: Mangshan Forest Hot Spring Hotel offers mountain hot springs to unwind. Reminders - Check weather forecasts; bring sun/rain gear. - Wear sports shoes for steep areas like Gaoyiling. - Yangtianhu has strong UV—apply sunscreen and protect the grassland environment.
