feiji148Traveling to Gaoyiling on a budget really takes time. It took more than three hours to get from the city to the scenic area by bus, and another two hours to get back. It took three hours to walk around the entire area, entering and exiting from the South Gate. There weren't enough signs in the scenic area, so I had to watch videos beforehand to find the way. Without a drone, it would be impossible to capture any good shots. I wonder if it's possible to bring your own drone?

Anonymous userThe room was very comfortable, and the butler service was warm and attentive. They proactively helped us carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor and even suggested that buying tickets on a certain platform was cheaper than buying them on-site. Thumbs up! 👍

Anonymous userAll the scenic spots in Chenzhou are great, with beautiful natural scenery and delicious Hunan cuisine. The Dongjiang fish, braised chicken, and blood duck are all excellent. Thanks to A-Jie from Dongya Apartment for helping us plan our itinerary and book discounted tickets to the scenic spots, saving us both time and money.

202***77Buying tickets through Ctrip is very convenient; you can simply scan the QR code to enter the park upon arrival. The scenic area is large and the scenery is beautiful. There's no difficulty climbing the mountain, although there is an 8-kilometer boardwalk to walk along. It's still well worth a visit.

夏小沫@The Five Finger Peaks of Mangshan Mountain in Chenzhou has an East Gate and a West Gate. At the West Gate, buy a ticket and take the scenic area bus to the visitor center. From there, take the escalator up to the small terrace, where you can buy your Five Finger Peaks ticket to enter.
