A great place for family leisure in Liuyang

A great place for family leisure in Liuyang

There are many homestays in Liuyang, and after a long selection, we decided to come to this one. We don't like those internet-famous swimming pools for posing without any practical significance. Unexpectedly, it exceeded expectations. There are a total of 12 rooms, each with its own characteristics. I thought that during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Double Festival, the public area would be crowded and noisy, but it was very quiet and comfortable. The small garden and pool in our own yard have a lot of artistic conception, and tea tables are arranged everywhere. You can camp, trace the stream and barbecue by the small stream at the door, which is very suitable for bringing children for leisure. The rooms also have their own characteristics, and the facilities in the room are very complete, with air conditioning, ceiling fans, and floor heating, tea tables and refrigerators, a very leisurely slow life. The double bed room we booked also has a large bed, and there are suites and villas for large families, a very satisfying parent-child trip.

The Liuyang River in Changsha is truly beautiful

The Liuyang River in Changsha is truly beautiful

I thought Changsha was beautiful enough until I went here! In May, Dawei Mountain is a sea of red flowers, with azaleas covering the mountains and fields everywhere. The highest peak in eastern Hunan, standing at 1608 meters, boasts an azalea area of over ten thousand acres. This is the source of the Liuyang River, and just like the eighteen bends of the Liuyang River, the road up the mountain is also full of twists and turns. There are 21 kilometers from the scenic area's main gate to the Honglian Temple, winding up the mountain, and thinking back on it now, it's thrilling. It takes about two and a half hours to drive from Changsha, and you can park your car directly at the Honglian Temple on the mountain. If you have enough time, you can also enjoy the sunrise and sunset, the rolling clouds, and a sky full of stars, which is really worth it!

Xiangdong's Little Guilin - Liuyang Xiangxing Mountain.

Xiangdong's Little Guilin - Liuyang Xiangxing Mountain.

On the banks of the Jinkeng River in Liuyang, Changsha, there is a group of small mountains called Xiangxing Mountain, including General Mountain, Zhong Mountain, Snake Mountain, Turtle Mountain, Qilin Mountain, Lion Mountain, Elephant Trunk Mountain, and more. The mountains are made of red sandstone and have various shapes, resembling different objects and animals. Elephant Trunk Mountain, in particular, looks like an elephant lowering its head to drink water from the Jinkeng River, with its long trunk reaching into the water. The Jinkeng River is not wide, but its water is clear and pure. This place is known as "Xiangdong's Little Guilin," but it is not very developed, making it a comfortable place to visit.

A Super Detailed Guide to the Liuyang Fireworks Show

A Super Detailed Guide to the Liuyang Fireworks Show

Everything You Need to Know About the Liuyang Fireworks Show 🎆 ⏰Time: Every Saturday from 7:45 pm to 8:30 pm. The schedule may change during major holidays or the Fireworks Festival. The fireworks are set off at 📍Sky Theater every night. The event features a combination of song and dance performances and fireworks. The fireworks show is divided into four chapters, with 2–3 song and dance performances between each chapter. The best and most exciting part of the fireworks show is usually the last moment of the 4th chapter, when the sky is filled with stars. 🚥Transportation: There is no train station in Liuyang City. Visitors from other cities can first travel to Changsha, and then choose one of the following options: 1️⃣ Take a bus to Liuyang and then take a taxi to the fireworks show; 2️⃣ Take a ride-hailing car to the fireworks show after leaving the train station; 3️⃣ Rent a car and drive to the fireworks show. 📍Best Spots: The best spots include Sky Theater, Cijintan, and Changxing City, each with its own pros and cons. 1️⃣ Sky Theater is the closest spot, where you can see fireworks all around you. However, it is not convenient for taking photos of people with fireworks, and some spots may be blocked. 2️⃣ Cijintan is right opposite Sky Theater, with a great view. It is perfect for taking silhouette photos of people with fireworks. However, it currently charges an entrance fee, and you need to take a small path to get there. 3️⃣ Changxing City is right in front of the entrance to Sky Theater, making it a great spot for parking and taking photos. However, it is a bit far from the fireworks. 😋Liuyang Cuisine: You must try authentic Liuyang cuisine when you visit Liuyang. It is perfect with rice and will make your mouth water 🤤 🙋I personally recommend the following restaurants: ➡️Tang Fugui; ➡️Brothers Steamed Dishes Restaurant; ➡️Old Friends; ➡️Hongzhen; You can't go wrong with any of them. 🌟Must-try dishes: Steamed dishes such as sauerkraut fried vermicelli and ribs steamed with pork belly; ⚠️Tips: 1️⃣ Roads will be closed during the fireworks show, so it is best to arrive at the viewing spot half an hour in advance. 2️⃣ Fireworks are not banned in Liuyang. 3️⃣ In addition to fireworks, Liuyang also has beautiful mountains and rivers. It is perfect for camping and river tracing in summer. If you are driving, you can go river tracing during the day and watch the fireworks at night.

Coming to this homestay during the summer is so healing, it clears the mind

Coming to this homestay during the summer is so healing, it clears the mind

The homestay is located halfway up the mountain, offering a broad view of the winding and rugged mountain scenery. The location is excellent, surrounded by beautiful scenery and mountains, with winding paths leading to secluded spots, making it feel like a paradise! There is a healing courtyard in the mountains and a large terrace where you can chat and drink tea while overlooking the distant mountains. The public area is very rich, with a large infinity pool, basketball court, mahjong room, children's entertainment, book bar, music restaurant bar, clear bar, yoga room, bonfire barbecue, and a small conference room. My favorite is still the large terrace in the courtyard! From the terrace, you can overlook the entire mountain scenery! Playing in the mountain pool is simply the coolest enjoyment in the summer. The clear pool water, surrounded by green mountains, diving in, all the heat and fatigue instantly dissipate. At night, the starry sky is stunningly brilliant. Looking up at the vast Milky Way above. The village's rammed earth house has 13 guest rooms. Whether in the public area or the rooms, everything blends into the natural environment, spacious and comfortable. The public area is built with local materials, and the interior decoration style retains a rustic charm, making sleep very relaxing. The morning sunlight through the window on your face, that warm feeling, is unforgettable. Come to the mountains to breathe fresh air and cool down. Every breath is a cleansing of the body and mind. Walking on the mountain paths, the lush trees shield you from the scorching sun, and the breeze brings the fragrance of grass and trees. Close your eyes, listen to the sounds of nature, and feel the pulse of the earth. For example, the babbling of the stream sounds like it's telling ancient stories. In the morning, you can have a cup of coffee in the courtyard, listen to the birds in the valley, and breathe in the rare fresh air. In the afternoon, if there's nothing to do, you can swim in the courtyard pool and feel the fresh mountain air, which is really comfortable. If you want a relaxing and pleasant trip, and want to stay in a lazy and comfortable homestay, then this place is really suitable! Slow down the pace of life and quietly feel the relaxation of the holiday.

A springtime affair ends with the sunrise over the starry sea of flowers at Dawei Mountain

A springtime affair ends with the sunrise over the starry sea of flowers at Dawei Mountain

The wind rises, flowers bloom, stars ascend, sunrise. On May 12th, after a two-hour drive from Changsha, I arrived at Dawei Mountain National Forest Park in Liuyang City, to encounter a sea of flowers under the stars at sunrise. When I left Changsha, I had no expectations, and it was still a gloomy overcast day when I reached Liuyang City. It even drizzled a little past seven o'clock, but after ten o'clock, the clouds on the mountain began to disperse, revealing the stars. By two o'clock in the morning, the starry sky was clearly visible. The sunrise came as expected the next morning, and the mountain was extremely clear. The batteries for both the camera and the drone were completely drained! Dawei Mountain National Forest Park Admission: 190 yuan + shuttle bus 20 yuan (The shuttle bus operates from 8:00 to 17:30) Parking is at the Honglian Temple parking lot, now during the Azalea Festival, cars can only park here The star photography spot is next to the source of the Liuyang River, and the sunrise time is around 5:30 in the morning The temperature on the mountain is a bit low, about eighteen degrees at night, so it's necessary to wear a jacket
