Things to do in Hengnan

There is Chuanshan Academy (a landmark of Hunan culture, with additional fees for the internal exhibition halls), Luohan Ancient Temple, and Fuzhi Tower; in spring, "Dongzhou Peach Blossom Waves" is one of the eight scenic spots of ancient Hengyang, and the thousand-meter-long peach forest is perfect for taking photos in an ancient style; admission to the island is free, and the covered bridge is pedestrian-friendly.

The ancient Shigu Academy, located at the confluence of the Xiang River and the Zheng River, is an important birthplace of Hunan culture. Standing at the confluence and looking north, the river is wide and the view is excellent.

A famous academy in the late Qing Dynasty and an important cultural heritage of Hengyang.

It has been 74 years since the Anti-Japanese War. But the contributions made by our nation will never be forgotten. The significance of this war cannot be recorded by any monument. It is an irreplaceable great achievement in the history of the Chinese nation.

Crossing the century-old railway tracks, feeling the warmth of time Under the dome of Hengyang Railway Museum The rusty old tickets tell the story of traveling from north to south The steam locomotive retains the warmth of our fathers’ long journey Through the yellowed timetable Hear the roar of the first whistle of the Hunan-Guangxi Railway The city memories brought by the train, the time platform will never close

This is a very well-developed scenic area with complete facilities. This time, we hiked up the mountain and took the shuttle bus down. The hike starts from Victory Archway; avoid the visitor center area where you catch the shuttle bus. The route is: Victory Archway → Huayan Lake → Martyrs' Shrine → Banshan Pavilion → Yehou Academy → Tiefo Temple → Nantianmen → Zhurong Peak. What I need to complain about is the poor planning and maintenance of the hiking routes. The signage is not clear enough, some sections can only be accessed via winding mountain roads, and the main hiking trail's halfway point through the rocky forest is poorly maintained. If you're going to charge admission, at least make sure the ancient hiking trails are properly maintained.
