[2025 Rucheng Stay] Travel Guide for Home2 Suites by Hilton Chenzhou Nuanshui Hot Spring (Updated May)

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.
