Departing from Shenzhen, a three-day self-driving trip to Chenzhou, Hunan and Shaoguan

| Check in at the popular spots Gaoyiling + Xiaodongjiang + Mangshan Wuzhifeng It takes 5 hours to reach Chenzhou from Shenzhen by car. This self-driving route is truly a hidden gem! You can check in at 3 major popular attractions in just two days and one night, and easily capture stunning photos without taking leave! 🚙Day 1: Gaoyiling + Xiaodongjiang Depart from Shenzhen at 7:30 AM, heading straight to Gaoyiling (Suxian District, Chenzhou). The drive takes nearly 6 hours. Exit at Chenzhou, toll fee is 241 yuan, arriving at 1:30 PM. The ticket price is 98 yuan. This unique Danxia landform is truly a masterpiece of nature, with huge canyon walkways that are thrilling and exciting. It is recommended to enter the park before 4 PM when the sunlight is perfect for photography. Stay overnight by Dongjiang Lake, a homestay costs 145 yuan per night. It takes half an hour from Gaoyiling to the accommodation. We didn’t go inside Dongjiang Lake to watch the fishermen casting nets the next day, as we felt the 85 yuan ticket was not worth it, so we just enjoyed the lake view and returned. 🏔Day 2: Mangshan Wuzhifeng After breakfast, drive 3 hours to Mangshan Wuzhifeng (Yizhang County), a distance of 144 kilometers with no toll fees, traveling entirely on national and county roads, with many large vehicles. Depart at 9:30 AM and arrive at 1 PM. The ticket price is 285 yuan. The cliff plank road in the scenic area is incredibly impressive, so remember to wear good walking shoes. It is recommended to complete the entire circular plank road, which takes about 4 hours to see the full panorama of Wuzhifeng. We didn’t take the elevator; after riding the cable car, we climbed all the stairs, haha. With good stamina, the two of us saved 100 yuan, and rewarded ourselves with two extra dishes for dinner. 🌄In the evening, drive directly to "Xiangjian Ni Inn" near Danxia Mountain for check-in. The homestay courtyard is incredibly comfortable. The only downside is that the toilet is a squat type, not a Western-style toilet. The price is 158 yuan. The location is inside the scenic area, making it super convenient for an early morning hike the next day. The landlady was very enthusiastic and gave us detailed hiking route suggestions. That day, there was also a Bank of China card ring cycling race, which was very exciting. We recorded many videos 😆. 🌟Travel tips: 1. The temperature difference among the three attractions is large, remember to bring a jacket. 2. The temperature at Dongjiang Lake is low in the morning, it is recommended to wear extra clothes. 3. The guardrails on the Gaoyiling plank road are relatively low, so those afraid of heights should be careful. 4. Book homestays in advance, as weekends are very popular. 5. Mangshan cable car tickets can be purchased on-site, no need to book in advance. It is recommended to return via the Jinggang'ao Expressway. If there is no traffic, you can be back in Shenzhen in 5 hours~ Self-driving to check in at three famous mountains, this weekend plan is perfect!
