Where are you going during the Chinese New Year? Let’s take a two-day tour of Hengyang wearing Hanfu! 🎉 At the beginning of the new year, we embarked on a journey to Nanyue Hengshan. First we went to the Nanyue Temple, then we visited the Temple of Wealth, and finally we climbed Zhurong Peak. Everything was full of festive atmosphere. Don’t forget to draw lots, especially on New Year’s Day, you have to get to the temple gate of Zhurongfeng early because it closes at 5:00 pm. Zhurongfeng is a good place to make New Year's wishes. You can pray for good luck here and draw a lucky number. 🙏 In the evening we came to Hengyang city and tasted the famous local barbecue. This is a place integrating urban culture and food. The ultimate secret of Hunan stir-fry is here, you must try it. The next day we plan to go to Dongzhou Island, where there is Chuanshan Academy, one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Hengzhou, where we can feel the history of Hunan. At the same time, you can also wear Hanfu, have wonderful moments with the Spring Festival Gala mascot Long Chenchen, and play some ancient games such as Cuju and Tou Hu. Pass by Land Coffee and go in for a refreshing drink. ☕ In Hengyang, there is also an industrial museum waiting for you to discover the city’s industrial history. After visiting the museum, it feels like traveling through time and feeling the development of urban industrialization. Finally, on the way home, I could feel the indissoluble bond between Hengyang and "fire", just as Nanyue Hengshan corresponds to fire in the five elements. This two-day journey not only made us happy and satisfied, but also soothed our hearts and stomachs. 😄🚗
