2025 Hunan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#Mainland Travel When you come to Hunan, you don’t need to rush through your schedule. The best thing to do here is to slow down and let your body and mind relax. Every mountain, every old street, and every cobblestone road hides the stories and rhythms of this land. 🌿 The air in the early morning is a little chilly. Walking through the misty alleys, the sun shines gently, making me feel awake. ☀️Walking slowly, the old houses on both sides are as quiet as a painting; what comes to your ears is the leisurely laughter and Hunan dialect conversations in the teahouse not far away. At that moment, you will feel that life can actually be very simple and beautiful. ✨ Take a walk in the mountains in the afternoon, breathe the fresh air, and every step is like walking into a splash-ink landscape painting. Occasionally, the wind blows through the mountains, the leaves rustle, and the sunlight shines on the ground through the shadows of the trees. Even the shadows are so beautiful that people can't bear to look away. 🌲🍃 At night, order a bowl of hot snacks, sit on the street, watch people coming and going, and your heart will slowly calm down. It’s not that there’s anything particularly stunning, but the whole “atmosphere” is particularly comfortable and natural, like returning to a familiar and gentle rhythm. 🌙✨ Summary of feelings: Hunan is not only beautiful in scenery, but also has the perfect blend of tranquility and bustle, which makes people relax, feel at ease, and can't help but reminisce about it again and again. The purpose of traveling here is not to show off, take photos or check in, but to give yourself a "just right" trip. 🧳🫶 #湖南旅行 #Comfortable travel experience #Stop and go is just right #Life can also be so slow

Many people have probably heard of or visited this place before, Fenghuang, which is known as the Venice of China. Because this is an ancient city with a river in the middle for us to take a boat and see the beauty of the old city of Hunan, which is one of the ancient cities of China that reflects the culture of the people in the past very well. Fenghuang is an ancient city located in the Xiangxi Tujia-Miao Nationality Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province, China. It was built in 1704 during the Qing Dynasty. The name of this city comes from the shape of Mount Nanhua, which is located in the south of the city, which is shaped like a swan. Therefore, the name of the city "Fenghuang", which means "swan". This is another city in China that if you have the chance, you must visit it at least once. #TravelChina #TravelAbroad #TravelChina

Chenzhou is truly the best niche tourist destination, with few people and beautiful scenery!!! It's worth the long journey ~ Gaoyi Ridge is really magnificent, and it was my first time seeing the Danxia landform! It was very impressive! Standing on the mountain, I felt relaxed and happy. It happened to be a cool day after the rain, so climbing wasn't tiring at all. It's also very convenient to take a taxi at the entrance of the scenic area~ Highlights: Danxia landform, surrounded by turquoise water, stunning aerial photography, and a hiker's paradise. Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. Navigate to "Gaoyiling Village Committee," park, and walk up the mountain. This route is very suitable for those who prefer a less strenuous hike. Tickets: 80 yuan/person, half price for students. Tips: It is recommended to depart in the morning to avoid the midday heat. Wear comfortable non-slip shoes and bring enough water and snacks. Be sure to protect yourself from the sun, as there is no shade on the mountain. Wear a hat and sunglasses. The aerial photography effect on the mountain is stunning, so you can bring a drone.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Phoenix Ancient Town I came here almost ten years ago, and a lot has changed in the past few years. I can't recognize the road back then. Like Lijiang, it has become more commercialized. Fortunately, not every store sells the same souvenirs. Turning into the alley also has a quieter side. Sometimes I have to admire the greatness of high-speed rail. Ten years ago, I had to take a 23-hour train ride from Shenzhen to get here! Now the high-speed railway station is built just 15 minutes away from the ancient city. It’s very convenient to get there from Hong Kong! The weather in March is warm but not too hot, and it is very comfortable to walk around the ancient city. Don’t miss the night view of the ancient city. Even from the same angle, the views are completely different during the day and at night. #High-speed rail travel #Hunan #Mainland China attractions #China travel #Free travel

#张家界 Besides mountains, there is also water! Because today is only half a day, Not enough time to go up the mountain, just play the route down the mountain, Focus on the water, not the mountains. When I came here ten years ago, the construction was not so complete. Originally there was no restaurant in the scenic area, only farmers could provide lunch. Now there are several restaurants at each eco-friendly car docking point. Although it ruins some of the scenery, at least tourists don’t have to bring any food up the mountain. You can play more easily. #Ten Miles Gallery: After getting off the eco-friendly car, you only need to walk 2km on the trail. At the end, there is a small train that takes people back to the starting point. Then take the eco-friendly bus to Golden Whip Stream. #Golden Whip Creek The total length is 7.5 kilometers, and the entire trail is flat. It took us nearly 4 hours to walk from downstream to upstream. There are shade trees along the way, which is quite cool. But it still takes a bit of willpower to complete the journey. I wanted to give up halfway, but the distance of going back was almost the same as going forward. I can only walk the whole way dizzy🫠 #Hunan #Mainland China Attractions #China Free Travel #China Travel #High-Speed ​​Rail Tour

#FurongTown Using Trip.com's #高铁票 booking function makes it very convenient every time I go back to the mainland to travel! Take the high-speed rail from Shenzhen North and reach Furong Town in about six hours! It is much more convenient than departing from Hong Kong. Furong Town is known as the #Thousand-year-old Town Hanging on the Waterfall. It is a place I have always wanted to go, but the transportation was not very convenient before the high-speed rail went directly there. Strolling along the #bluestone road, the ancient #stilted buildings are built on the mountain. The waterfall cascades down through the town with great momentum. You must try local specialties such as #ricetofu and #sourandspicyfish! There are trails along the spectacular waterfalls, where you can enjoy the waterfalls from different angles. The ancient town perfectly combines nature and humanity. It reminds me of the filming location of the movie "Furong Town", it is really a place full of historical stories. #ChinaMainlandAttractions #ChinaTravel #ChinaFreeTravel #Xiangxi #Changsha #Hunan #High-speed rail travel
