Drive through the stunning unmanned forest road in Changsha to feel the free wind in the woods

Drive through the stunning unmanned forest road in Changsha to feel the free wind in the woods

🌈✨Surprisingly, there is such a secret forest retreat around the internet-famous city of Changsha. Just a 1.5-hour drive from Changsha, this less-known forest allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Taking a walk in the deep mountains nearby during your leisure time is also a wonderful experience. 🌈✨Dawei Mountain Forest Park, located in Liuyang, is best accessed by car. The mountain roads wind upwards, with forests on both sides lush and dripping with greenery. The fresh mountain breeze brushes your face, bringing a touch of coolness, making you feel as if you have forgotten the noise of the world and are embraced by nature. Breathing the fresh air, listening to the quiet bird songs along the way, and experiencing the beauty of Dawei Mountain is a truly comfortable feeling. 🌈✨Liuyang may not be a hot tourist destination because it is particularly close to Changsha and is also known as Changsha's backyard. It has its unique charm that is captivating; stepping into this secret forest, whether on foot or by car, gives a different feeling. Here you can get close to nature and find endless tranquility and beauty.

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 2-hour drive to Changsha's very own Altay, it's so beautiful!

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

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a romantic manor in Changsha

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a romantic manor in Changsha

🏡✨ This is a private estate themed around natural botanical aesthetics, featuring both Chinese gardens and Western modern scenes. Both sides naturally exude an air of peaceful times. 🏡✨ More and more people are growing tired of the noisy urban life. An estate like this, a sanctuary from the world, can be considered a pure land. When the afternoon sun shines on the courtyard, the green plants and the old house with its rustic charm are so well-matched. 🏡✨ There is always a feeling of returning to nature in the estate. It can add much comfort to your journey. Sitting outside the courtyard, sipping tea and admiring the flowers, or aimlessly wandering through the forest paths, are pleasures you can't experience in the city. Man and Nature Aesthetic Manor Lianjia Group No. 34, Liuyang City

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 hidden gem of a homestay near Changsha that's incredibly beautiful

A hidden gem of a homestay near Changsha that's incredibly beautiful

It's about a two-hour drive from downtown Changsha to reach this beautiful treasure of a homestay! This is the largest homestay I've ever been to, with few rooms, each with its own unique charm. And it's a renovation of the original adobe houses🏠—not too crowded even on holidays. The homestay has a stream, which must be very cool in summer, and now the hills are covered with flowers🌸 There is dedicated butler service inside, and the butlers, both the young ladies and the young men, are very enthusiastic and provide excellent service👍. There are both Western and Chinese restaurants, and the food is delicious😋. There are also peacocks🦚, alpacas🦙, and many other small animals that you can feed🥕. It's very suitable for bringing kids😉. The butlers will also lead you in making crafts, and it's a lot of fun🥳
