[2025 Zixing Attraction] Travel Guide for Phoenix Island Resort on Dongjiang Lake (Updated Mar)

| Dongjiang Lake's Phoenix Island is breathtakingly beautiful. 📍Location & Transportation It is located within the Dongjiang Lake scenic area in Zixing City, Chenzhou. Whether driving or carpooling, it's quite convenient to get there from Chenzhou West Railway Station. 🚢Island Experience You need to take a boat from Bailang Wharf to Phoenix Island. As the boat glides across the emerald Dongjiang Lake, it's like traversing a landscape painting. The stunning scenery along the way is truly captivating.

🌊 Dongjiang Lake Bailang Phoenix Island is so amazing and comfortable! 😌 Who says you have to go to Dali to experience the charm of Erhai Lake? We have our own "Little Erhai Lake" right here in Chenzhou! And it's super photogenic 📷, you can take stunning photos that will amaze your friends with just a snap 👏. 🚤 You need to take a boat to get to Phoenix Island. We bought a ticket 🎫 + boat ticket for CNY 75 (the boat ticket is round-trip, which is very thoughtful). By the way, it's best to bring your own snacks and water 🥤 before you go. Although there are drink cabinets on the island, the prices are a bit "beautiful", with mineral water costing CNY 5 per bottle 😅. 📸 There is a great photo base at the entrance of the scenic area, but you need to buy a separate ticket. Here's a little suggestion for you: it's better to visit Phoenix Island in the morning 👍, and then head straight to Gaoyiling in the afternoon (see my previous post for details). This way, you can connect the two attractions and have a full day without wasting any time. It's perfect! 💯

No crowds, take photos wherever you go 📸 When you're tired, sit by the lake and enjoy the gentle sunshine 😇 Everything is a true reflection of the good times Bailang Ring Road starts at Changyingtou Wharf and ends at Bailang Wharf, with a total length of 13.35 km The whole line is a two-way two-lane road, where you can ride around the lake, take photos, and take a boat tour of Dongjiang Lake 💌Recommended attractions: See the redwoods on foot or by scooter 🛵 on Bailang Ring Road Walk from the hotel to Bailang Square, cross the road on the left, and you will reach the Metasequoia on the lakeside boardwalk. No ticket is required. 🏝️Phoenix Island Scenic Area: Buy tickets at the hotel, walk to Bailang Wharf, take a boat to the island, and enjoy the lush greenery and different views of the lake and mountains. You can also interact with the peacocks 🦚, monkeys 🐒, squirrels 🐿️, and alpacas 🦙 on the island. Photo spots: 1. There is a hotel at the wharf that is open to the public. You can go in and take photos on the viewing terrace. It's a great place to take photos. You can also go down to the lake and take photos on a boat (Zixing Diaoyutai Farmhouse). 2. The boardwalk on the ring road is made of wood. You can take photos of the Metasequoia and the lake, or go down to the lake. It's beautiful! 3. There is a road at the end of the ring road, which is a great place to take photos! 🚗Transportation: Drive to Bailang Scenic Area 🚄Other transportation: Chenzhou West Railway Station → chartered car → direct to Bailang Scenic Area 🚄Other transportation: Chenzhou West Railway Station → online car-hailing (chartered car) → Zixing City Luowei → Xingning Town bus → motorcycle (taxi) to Bailang
