风雪太行:“It is worth watching. I took a detour from Yongzhou to visit the former residence of the founder of Neo-Confucianism. Zhou Dunyi's former residence is located in Loutian Village, Dao County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. Here you can not only visit the Zhou Dunyi Memorial Hall and learn about Zhou Dunyi's growth process, but also see many ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and appreciate the architectural style of these ancient buildings, because there is not only Zhou Dunyi's former residence here, but also the ancient building complex of Lianxi's hometown, a national key cultural relic protection unit. Although it is a bit remote, it is still very cost-effective to be able to visit a national key cultural relic protection scenic spot for free. Especially for friends who like historical figures and ancient buildings, it is tantamount to a visual feast and a spiritual feast.”

风雪太行:“It is worth a visit. This is a red tourist attraction. There are many attractions in the cultural park. The sculpture wall, the Red Army slogan wall, the Chen Shuxiang Martyr Life Exhibition Hall, the Chen Shuxiang Martyr Tomb, the Red Army Martyr Tomb, the Revolutionary Martyrs Monument, the Red Army Pavilion, etc. are its highlights. Standing on the Red Army Pavilion, you can also see the beautiful scenery of Fuhe. He Baozhen's former residence is in Guitou Village and is also part of the cultural park. They are all places for us to pay homage. In short, here you can not only receive red inheritance education and your soul will be baptized, but you can also enjoy the beautiful Tianyuan scenery.”
长沙泰格:“During the National Day in 2020, the weather was too cold and the large water sports projects were closed. It was okay to find a place to take pictures. It is said that it was very popular during the summer vacation.”

风东北:“The Guiziling sacrificial site in Dao County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, is said to be from ancient times when Emperor Shun was buried in Jiuyi after his death during his southern tour, and the sacrificial ceremony continued...”
雨天之后:“We chose the bus + Samsung Cruise. The bus guide contacted the pick-up location in advance and picked us up on time early in the morning. It took more than half an hour to get to the pier. The guide explained the relevant things on the way. When we got to the pier, we saw many cruise ships waiting side by side. We boarded the ship based on the number and name. Some of the Samsung ships have different types. I bought the upper floor. There is a small balcony in front of the second floor where I can enjoy the breeze, take pictures, and enjoy the scenery. There are fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor, but the view on the top floor is the best, but it is sunny, so most people watch from the top floor. Lunch is provided on the boat, and the taste is average. You can go to Yangshuo for lunch, but most areas in Yangshuo are commercialized.”
Stone:“The Shun Emperor Mausoleum is in Jiuyi Mountain Scenic Area. The ticket price is 60 yuan, which I feel is not very cost-effective. When you are playing, don't forget that there are also attractions such as Erfei Hall in the outer area that do not require tickets. You can also visit them. The mausoleum is relatively rare among the attractions. If you are interested, you can visit it.”
Open today at 08:30-17:00 (admission ends at 16:50)
E42***83:“The entire scenic area is beautiful, with small groups led by tour guides. Tours are divided into two parts: a land tour and a boat tour. The area is clean and maintained promptly. The parking lot is spacious and shaded. The area is not overly commercial, making it a very relaxing experience.”
