Chadong | A City Inspired by a Book

| A City Inspired by a Book. Chadong | A City Inspired by a Book "From Chongqing to Hunan, there is an official road to the east. This official road is near the border of western Hunan, and when it reaches a small mountain town called 'Chadong', there is a small stream. There is a white pagoda by the stream, and a family lives under the pagoda. This family has only one old man, one girl, and one yellow dog." This is the opening of "Border Town", and I have imagined its real appearance many times. ✅Transportation Guide Air: You can fly to Changsha Huanghua International Airport, Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport, or Xiangxi Biancheng Airport, and then take a long-distance bus or train directly to Chadong Ancient Town.
