Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon

Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon

4.8/5
6 reviews
Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon is located in Chenzhou, Hunan, hidden among the Danxia mountains not far from the city center. The rock strata here were formed in the Late Cretaceous period and perfectly preserve the ancient lake sedimentary layers. The ochre-red cliffs, stretching for several kilometers, have a drop of nearly 300m and have been carved by seasonal streams over the years. The red rocks reflected in the valley streams create a rare Danxia canyon scene in southern Hunan. The most recognizable feature in the canyon is the combat-readiness road built in the 1960s—a passage carved by builders using steel drills and shovels into the sheer cliffs. Today, it is undulating with many curves, winding through valleys and streams. When self-driving or cycling through the mountains, the continuous red cliffs constantly change with your angle of movement. Stopping at the U-bend viewing platform to overlook the road and Danxia landscape in the same frame is a classic photo spot here, which is why many mountain-driving and photography enthusiasts call it the "Hunan version of Route 66." Walking deeper into the canyon, natural rock arch and cave landscapes like the Ming Dynasty Chuantan ruins and the Heitan karst cave unfold one after another. Climbing to Epozhai allows you to overlook the entire Danxia valley from the highest point. In the evening, the setting sun shines obliquely on the red rocks, creating distinct layers of light and shadow, making every photo look striking. There are relatively few tourists here, making it suitable for travelers who enjoy quiet, wild scenery and want to hike or cycle to relax. The Danxia area is almost completely exposed, so pay attention to sun protection and hydration in summer. Some road surfaces have gravel, so it is recommended to wear non-slip sports shoes. Follow the main road and do not take unofficial paths for a safer experience.Chenzhou · 10.2 km from Zixing

Shuangqiao Reservoir

Shuangqiao Reservoir

4.3
Shuangqiao Reservoir is a leisure and sightseeing destination known for its natural landscape. The reservoir features a layout where mountains, water, and rock formations complement each other, shaped by the unique surrounding geological environment. Especially during the dry season, as the water level drops, the canyon landscape previously hidden underwater gradually emerges, revealing a distinctive natural appearance. The long, narrow canyons, exposed red rock layers, and winding gullies are interwoven with the green vegetation growing among them, creating a visually rich effect. The area around Shuangqiao Reservoir possesses typical Danxia landform characteristics, with rock walls that have been shaped into diverse mountain silhouettes by long-term natural erosion. On clear days, the blue sky, clear water, red rocks, and greenery reflect off one another, presenting a tranquil and wild natural scene. Visitors can enjoy different views depending on the season: during the high-water season, they can experience the expansive lake and mountain scenery, while during the dry season, they can observe the canyon textures and rock formations up close.Yongxing · 21.3 km from Zixing

Orange Isle Scenic Area

4.6/5

Orange Isle Scenic Area is a narrow sandbar lying across the heart of the Xiang River in Changsha, stretching approx. five km. It faces Yuelu Mountain to the west and borders Changsha's old city to the east, surrounded by water on all sides. Named after the abundant orange trees planted on the isle, it was historically called Shuiluzhou. Formed by river alluvium, this sandbar has existed for over a millennium, where the "River and sky in evening snow" scenery was once among the Eight Views of Xiaoxiang. In 1925, the poem "Spring in a pleasure garden - Changsha" was composed here, with its iconic line "Alone I stand in the biting fall, watching the Xiang River flow north past Orange Isle's head," which made this riverine landmark widely renowned. The highlights of the visit are concentrated at the islet's head: A granite art sculpture over 30 m tall, modeled after the 1925 youth image, stands facing the river as Changsha's highly recognizable landmark. Nearby, the Questioning Heaven Platform extends toward the river center, where leaning on the railing reveals the mighty Xiang River flowing northward, with Yuelu Mountain and the city skylines on both banks facing each other across the water. The Songju Pavilion, white marble poetry stele, and the 200-year-old ancient phoenix tree at the islet head are all in this area. Heading north from the islet head, a hundred-acre orange orchard bears golden fruits in fall, while bamboo groves, peach orchards, plum gardens, and osmanthus groves take turns showcasing seasonal flora. The historic Zhuzhang Ferry (where Zhu Xi and Zhang Shi once crossed the Xiang River for lectures) and the Huxiang Culture Exhibition Hall are scattered along the way. At the islet's tail, the reconstructed Jiangshen Temple and Gongji Tower area was precisely where ancients admired the "River and sky in evening snow" scenery. The island is long and narrow, making round-trip walks quite tiring. A sightseeing train is available for transportation, with multiple stops along the way for hopping on and off. Travelers with limited time are advised to head straight to the island's tip to see the sculpture and river views, then stroll leisurely along the riverside path. At dusk, watching the sunset over the Xiang River and seeing the lights gradually illuminate both shores from the island's tip is especially worth setting aside time for.China · Changsha

A Healing Journey at Bailang Scenic Area In October, autumn deepened in Chenzhou. We spent two days with our elderly family members enjoying a relaxing and restful stay at the Bailang Scenic Area on Dongjiang Lake. The lake was shrouded in mist in the early morning, reminiscent of a fairyland. Sunlight occasionally filtered through the clouds onto the water, creating a shimmering shimmer. Strolling along the lakeside, a gentle breeze caressed our faces, and the air was filled with a moist, refreshing scent that seemed to wash away all worries. We first checked into the Muni Hotel, a top-rated B&B. Its wooden furniture and warm lighting exuded a homely warmth. Opening the window, the panoramic view of the lake and mountains made it impossible not to breathe deeply and appreciate the gifts of nature. In the afternoon, we enjoyed tea and chatted in the hotel, the smiles of our elderly family members as warm as the sun. The next day, we moved to the second-ranked high-end Ramada Dongjiang Lake. Its facilities are exquisite and comfortable, and from the lobby to the guest rooms, every detail exudes elegance and sophistication. Standing on the spacious balcony, we could take in the sweeping lake view, with the distant mountains looming through the mist, like a flowing landscape painting. In the evening, we enjoyed local specialties at a restaurant near the hotel. Fresh lake fish and fragrant wild vegetables captivated our taste buds, captivating the beauty of this breathtaking landscape. Though simple, these two days were filled with warmth and comfort. The beauty of Bailang Scenic Area lies not only in the tranquility of the lake and mountains, but also in its ability to slow down and spend quality time with family. Whether in the warm atmosphere of the Muni Hotel or the elegant surroundings of the Ramada, we felt a sense of comfort and relaxation. This trip to Bailang was like a gentle song, warming the years and healing the soul. It taught us that the most beautiful scenery isn't just in front of us, but in every moment spent with our families.

Mahuangqiu is easy to climb, the scenery is beautiful, and it's completely free! Go early and bring an umbrella, you can easily enjoy the scenery of the sky and mountains. It will be more convenient to drive yourself. If you are tired of climbing, you can go to the nearby Longweiping to take a bamboo raft (20 per person, the master adds another 20, but unfortunately you can't slide by yourself) to relax. Enjoy two attractions in the morning

I went to the scene to watch the show during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The atmosphere was very good, there were many young ladies in ancient costumes, and the show was also very exciting. The 45-minute night cruise on the river was misty, the scenery on both banks was also good, and there were local specialty fruits on the boat. A good night tour and leisure experience!

The main features are free and exciting. Parking is not easy around. There is a parking fee for residents nearby, 20 yuan per car. The road up the mountain is a bit steep. It is an ideal place for aerial photography and travel photography. There are not many people and it is film-produced. However, I dare not finish walking the Daobei Mountain, so I don't know if there are different scenery on it. You can take pictures and check in there, which is very good.

There were no assigned seats, so you could sit anywhere. We spent most of our time on the third deck enjoying the view and taking photos. Although it was very hot outside, there was a breeze on both sides of the deck, so it wasn't too bad. There were karaoke machines and vendors selling snacks and drinks on both the second and third decks. The air conditioning on the second deck was very strong. We arrived at the pier half an hour early, and there was already a queue.
