Chenzhou Travel Recommendations

Chenzhou, a city you'll want to visit again and again. The air quality index at Dongjiang Lake in the morning is absolutely fantastic—a natural oxygen bar. Watch the fishermen cast their nets on time, take a leisurely stroll, and as the mist clears, you'll be greeted by bright sunshine and a stunning blue lake. After exploring Xiaodong River, head to Dongfanghong to try their salmon—you'll regret not eating more! Next, visit Chenzhou's version of Erhai Lake, where you'll find breathtaking views of blue skies and vast waters. The refreshing breeze is incredibly soothing, and whether you're riding an electric bike or driving along the coastline, the scenery is simply mesmerizing. In the evening, wander through Yuhou Street to soak up the local atmosphere. Yangtianhu Grassland was a special trip, but the winding mountain roads and uncooperative weather left us disappointed—expensive tickets and rough roads, so keep an eye on the forecast. For Gaoyiling, enter from the west gate and plan for over two hours of exploration; if you love taking photos, add another two hours. Chenzhou has just three or four classic attractions, and visiting one per day is ideal. Next time, I'd love to visit Mangshan Mountain—I've heard it's amazing too! 😊
