Hidden in Shaoyang, Hunan, lies a geological wonder of Danxia landforms – the Langshan National Scenic Area. Like a hidden gem, this five-A-rated tourist attraction remains relatively unknown outside the province due to its remote location, unlike other popular destinations. However, this low profile has preserved its pristine natural beauty. Langshan Scenic Area is open from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. If you plan to visit, driving is recommended, as public transportation is limited, and the attractions are far apart. The combined ticket costs CNY 136. The shuttle bus between scenic spots costs CNY 20 for a round trip. If you want to take the sightseeing bus from the entrance to the trailhead, the round trip costs CNY 10. For accommodation, there are many farmhouses in Langshan Town and around the scenic spots. Langshan has many scenic spots, each with its own characteristics. Bajiaozhai is arguably the most beautiful spot in Langshan, offering breathtaking views. Tianyi Lane and Camel Peak are equally impressive. Tianyi Lane, known as the "Number One Lane Under Heaven," is over 200 meters long and so narrow at some points that only one person can pass sideways. The lane is cool, dim, and mysterious, taking about two hours for a round trip without backtracking. The steps to the top of Camel Peak are quite steep, but the effort is rewarded with a spectacular view of Chili Peak. This also takes about two hours round trip, with no backtracking required. There is also Zixia Cave, which is said to be mainly a temple with limited sightseeing value, so many tourists choose to skip it. For stunning photos, Tianyi Lane, Camel Peak, and Chili Peak are excellent locations. It's recommended to visit Chili Peak in the morning when the sun is less intense. Visit Tianyi Lane in the afternoon. Be aware that during this season, there are many caterpillars on the roads, trees, and even chairs. Some hang from trees and swing in the wind, so watch your step carefully. Use a branch to clear the path ahead. If stung, the skin will have a strong burning sensation. Due to the distance between attractions, non-self-driving visitors should purchase round-trip shuttle bus tickets. A CNY 20 ticket is valid for the day, while a CNY 30 ticket is valid for three days, as it's difficult to see the entire area in one day. For example, within the Chili Peak scenic area, it takes about 15 minutes to walk from the sightseeing bus stop to the trailhead. If you prefer not to walk, you can take the sightseeing bus for CNY 10. Overall, the Langshan Scenic Area offers a fantastic experience, easily deserving a five-star rating. Bajiaozhai is the most captivating, while Tianyi Lane and Camel Peak each have their unique charm. Although transportation is inconvenient, a two-day self-driving trip will immerse you in the beauty of Langshan. The service is attentive; as long as you have a ticket, even if you are alone, a shuttle bus will be arranged. There are many farmhouses nearby. During this season, the rice paddies are teeming with frogs, creating a chorus at night. However, the frog sounds can be quite loud and may disturb sleep.

The Mysterious Power of Nature - Hunan Shaoyang Hongri Machinery Factory Hidden in the mountains, this old military factory is truly amazing! It was once the most mysterious military factory, with the military code of State-owned Factory 544. Hongri Machinery Factory is a miracle of the Third Front Movement, the largest cave factory in China, and the filming location of the Hunan TV show "Great Escape." Hongri Machinery Factory is built deep in the mountains, and if you fly over it, you won't be able to see it. In the past, it was a bustling place with many workers busy producing. During the war, it was a very important place. You can even imagine many people eating, dressing, living, and working here. They couldn't go out freely, and this place was a top secret. Now it has been gradually developed and opened to the public, and is worth a visit. There is also a natural karst cave inside, and the first thing you see is a bat cave. People with trypophobia should be cautious. The bats won't attack people, but their droppings have a smell. Bats are common in karst caves, and this is a large natural karst cave combined with modern architecture. The karst cave has stalactites that reflect light. The cave is very large, the largest I've ever seen, and a large part of it is still closed off. I visited here before, and it was pitch black. We used a miner's lamp to explore, like an adventure. I didn't expect it to be so big because the light could only illuminate a narrow area. I also didn't expect the top of the cave to be so beautiful and magical, like a landscape I've never seen before. There is also a place with several cannons, which are real and covered in oil. They feel very old, and the color really makes you feel like you've gone back to the war era, a time when blood was shed everywhere, a time worthy of respect. Peace won through war is especially precious!
