Chenzhou Hidden Gem | Zixing Shilongtan Secret Paradise

📍Navigation: Shilongtan or Shilongtan Local Cuisine Restaurant, Xingning Town, Zixing City, Chenzhou (1.5-hour drive from downtown) For self-driving visitors, park near Shilongtan Local Cuisine Restaurant and walk 2 km (~20 mins) to the Cliffside Road to find the scenic entrance. The wilderness holds a mystical power—allowing every plant and creature to thrive freely. There’s no factory-set uniformity here; each lives as a unique individual, embraced by nature’s boundless generosity. Everything receives her care and rewards: basking in warmth under ample sunlight or being cleansed by pouring rain. Every encounter is a blessing. Being close to nature is instinctive, and everything before us is worth exploring. Wandering through lush greenery, every breath feels refreshingly pure. As footsteps tread the mountain paths, the earth’s energy revitalizes us. Even amid moments of unease or confusion, moving forward will lead us to where our hearts desire. Gazing into the distance, it’s like a gateway to a fairyland. Water droplets at the cave entrance compose a soothing melody, while the emerald pool ripples with clarity—like a mischievous child full of secrets. A whisper alone can echo through the cave, leaving cherished memories resonating in this tranquil moment. Tips: 1. Summer brings more mosquitoes—wear repellent and long pants when hiking. 2. The descent has loose gravel; be cautious of slippery paths if raining. 3. Take trash with you—protecting the environment is everyone’s duty. 🌿
