Half-day city walk in Yueyang, watch the stunning sunset

👟Itinerary route: Yueyang Museum - Baling Square - Bianhe Street - Yueyang Tower - Dongting Lake 📍Attractions 1️⃣ Yueyang Tower: Composed of several small scenic spots, a place where literati and poets drank and wrote poetry, also famous for the love story of Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu. 🔸Visit time: 2~3 hours 🔸Photo spots: Baling Square, entrance of Yueyang Tower scenic area, just inside the entrance of Yueyang Tower scenic area 🔸Tips: Check the sunset time in advance, arrive at the edge of Dongting Lake before sunset, seize the moment to capture amazing photos. At night, although climbing the tower is not allowed, the scenery is as beautiful as during the day, and there are performances. Reciting ancient poems at Yueyang Tower grants free admission; for specific rules and reservation methods, the official WeChat public account has detailed information. 2️⃣ Yueyang Museum: Small exhibition hall with few collections, although it explains Yueyang’s history, it’s not worth visiting under the scorching sun. 🔸Opening hours: 9:00~17:00; closed on Mondays 🔸Visit time: 1~2 hours 3️⃣ Baling Square: Right next to Yueyang Tower, very close and within walking distance. It’s a large square beside Dongting Lake, perfect for taking photos at sunset. 4️⃣ Bianhe Street: Ancient-style commercial pedestrian street located between Baling Square and Yueyang Tower. Passing through Bianhe Street from Baling Square leads to the ticket office of Yueyang Tower scenic area. 5️⃣ Dongting Lake: Located next to Yueyang Tower, Dongting Lake at sunset is perfect for photography.
