🌿 First stop: Dive into the "natural oxygen bar," where Hunan people flock in summer 1. Taohuajiang Bamboo Sea — praised as a "green ocean" by National Geographic Hunan's largest bamboo sea is no exaggeration! 70,000 acres of bamboo stretch continuously, rustling in the wind, feeling 5°C cooler than an air-conditioned room. - Must-do: Ride a bamboo raft drifting along the bamboo forest creek, look up to see a "green tent" made of bamboo leaves. Take a horizontal phone shot, and your friends will ask, "Is this Guilin or Zhangjiajie?" - Hidden spot: Climb up to the "Bamboo Viewing Tower" for 20 minutes; the top floor offers a panoramic view of the bamboo sea. Go at 7 a.m. when the mist hasn't cleared, it feels like a fairyland (wear a white dress for a glowing ethereal look). - Money-saving tip: Tickets are 55 yuan, 20 yuan off with a student ID; the bamboo tube rice sold by the auntie at the entrance costs 10 yuan each, sticky rice mixed with cured meat aroma, super satisfying to eat while strolling. 2. Dongting Lake Wetlands — come in autumn and winter to watch the "bird conference" In summer, it's a lush green wetland; in autumn and winter, it turns into a "migratory bird paradise"! White cranes, swans, and wild geese gather here, known by Hunan locals as the "birdwatching ceiling." - How to enjoy: Rent a bike to ride along the lake (20 yuan/hour), stop by the reed beds—you might see ducklings darting past your feet; take a boat into the deeper wetlands (60 yuan/person), the boat captain will teach you to identify birds, both educational and fun. - Note: Bring a telephoto lens in autumn and winter! Birds are far away, and phones can't capture them clearly; in summer, wear long sleeves as mosquitoes by the lake are quite "enthusiastic." 🍵 Second stop: Hunan people's "carb happiness," perfectly captured in Yiyang 1. Lei tea — the "divine drink" locals can have three bowls of for breakfast Don't think lei tea is only sweet! Yiyang people drink "savory lei tea," made by grinding sesame, peanuts, and tea leaves into a paste, then adding hot water with fried rice, beans, and sweet potato chips. One sip is so fragrant you'll want to stomp your feet. - Recognize these two places: - "Liu Po Lei Tea" in the old town: 8 yuan a bowl, served with fried sweet potato chips, the auntie grinds the tea on the spot, just watching makes you hungry; - "Lei Tea Courtyard" in Taohuajiang Town: you can grind your own lei tea (15 yuan/person), drink it right after grinding, full of accomplishment. 2. Anhua Black Tea — drink it and you can even "collect" it Yiyang Anhua is the "hometown of black tea." Locals drink tea like drinking wine, boiling it in a big pot, getting stronger the longer it brews. - Must experience: Visit the "Black Tea Museum" (free!), see how black tea turns from leaves into tea bricks, and try 10-year-old aged tea. It tastes mellow and not astringent, even if you don't know tea, you can appreciate it. - Take some home: Buy "Qianliang Tea" from street tea shops, tea cakes shaped like pillars. Buy a small piece (around 50 yuan), brew it at home, healthier and more refreshing than milk tea. 3. Crayfish — Hunan people's "life-saving meal" in summer Yiyang's crayfish are milder spicy than Changsha's but even fresher! - How to eat: Definitely order "garlic crayfish," garlic aroma wrapped in shrimp roe, paired with local "Haozi Baba" (made from glutinous rice with a hint of mugwort fragrance), dipping in the sauce is amazing; - Where to eat: "Old Wharf Night Market" by the Zi River, stalls open after 6 p.m., 60 yuan per person to eat until full, enjoy the river view while eating, so refreshing! 🚶 Third stop: The "slow soul" of Yiyang hidden in old alleys 1. Ming and Qing Dynasty Ancient Alleys — every few steps you bump into "timeworn old objects" Several old alleys by the Zi River have shiny bluestone paths worn by footsteps, old houses with wooden windows carved with patterns, inhabited by native Yiyang people. - What to explore: Find the "old handmade shops" in the alleys, grandpas weaving bamboo baskets (30 yuan each), grandmas sewing cloth shoes (50 yuan a pair), all genuine craftsmanship; - Photo tip: At 4 p.m., sunlight slants into the alleys, casting long shadows. Caption it "In Yiyang, time moves slowly," and you can skip the rest of the caption on social media. 2. Zhou Libo's Former Residence — the writer from textbooks, his home looks like this A free-to-enter old courtyard with blue bricks and black tiles, pomelo trees full of fruit in the yard, and inside are the old desk and oil lamp from back then, instantly transporting you to the textbook story "Great Changes in a Mountainous Village." - Hidden activity: On weekends, local aunties sing "Yiyang Huagu Opera" in the courtyard. The tune is lively; even if you don't understand it, it feels festive. Sit and listen for 10 minutes to soak in the local flavor. 🚗 Transportation & Accommodation Cheat Sheet - How to get there: Take the high-speed train directly to "Yiyang South Station," then take a Didi to the city center (20 yuan); driving within the province is more convenient, 1.5 hours from Changsha, 1 hour from Changde. - Where to stay: - If you want to explore the ancient city: choose a "homestay by the Zi River," open the window to river views, prices 150-200 yuan/night; - For convenience: "All Seasons Hotel" in the city center, with a snack street downstairs, and you can have local lei tea for breakfast. - Best time to visit: Bamboo sea is greenest from June to August, birdwatching at Dongting Lake from November to December, peach blossoms at Taohuajiang bloom from March to April, there's something all year round!

[Rose] In Yiyang City, Hunan Province, there is a place that looks like a fairyland - Xiufeng Park. It is like a shining pearl, inlaid in the center of the city, exuding charming charm. [Rose] When you step into Xiufeng Park, the first thing that catches your eye is a lush green. Tall trees are like loyal guards, neatly arranged on both sides of the road, providing a cool shade for tourists. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, as if it were an abstract painting drawn by nature on the ground. [Rose] Walking along the winding path, you can hear the sound of gurgling water. It was a clear stream. The water flowed happily, hitting the rocks and splashing crystal water. By the stream, colorful flowers compete with each other in beauty, red like fire, pink like clouds, and white like snow. They sway gently in the breeze, emitting bursts of fragrance, attracting countless butterflies and bees to come and play. [Rose] The center of the park is a vast lawn, like a green velvet carpet. The children were running and playing happily on the lawn, flying kites and playing football, and their laughter echoed over the park. The old people sat on the benches nearby, basking in the sun and telling stories about the past, their faces filled with smiles of happiness and satisfaction. [Rose] Continue going deeper into the park and you’ll see an antique pavilion. The pavilion's flying eaves and brackets are exquisitely carved, showcasing the unique charm of traditional Chinese architecture. Sitting in the pavilion, closing your eyes, feeling the caress of the breeze, listening to the birds singing, it seems that all your worries have disappeared at this moment. [Rose] Xiufeng Park also has a beautiful lake, the water is as green as jade and as calm as a mirror. When the breeze blows, ripples appear on the surface of the lake, and under the sunlight, the waves sparkle, which is beautiful beyond words. On the lake, several small boats were floating leisurely. The tourists on the boats were enjoying the scenery of the lake and mountains while chatting and laughing, enjoying this pleasant time. [Rose] In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun casts a golden coat over Xiufeng Park. The whole park becomes like a dream, making people intoxicated. At this time, the lights in the park gradually light up, making the park more charming. People come here to walk, dance, and exercise, enjoying this beautiful night together. [Rose] Xiufeng Park is not only a beautiful leisure place, but also the spiritual home of the people of Yiyang City. It has witnessed the development and changes of the city and carries people's joy and dreams. In the days to come, it will continue to accompany the people of Yiyang City and bring them endless joy and beautiful memories.

[Rose] Throughout the long river of time, festivals always carry people’s deep emotions and beautiful memories. Xiufeng Park, a place full of vitality and charm on ordinary days, shows a different charm on two special days: New Year's Eve and the sixth day of the first lunar month. [Rose] Xiufeng Park on New Year’s Eve is enveloped in a rich festive atmosphere. From afar, red lanterns are hung on the gate of the park, as if warmly welcoming every visitor. As you walk into the park, the trees on both sides of the road are also dressed in festive attire, with colorful light strips wrapped around the branches, flashing warm and charming light. [Rose] People gathered in groups of three or five, with happy smiles on their faces. The children ran excitedly, waving colorful firework sticks in their hands. The stars bloomed in the night sky like dreamy elves. The old people sat together, talking about the past year, their eyes full of gratitude for life. [Rose] The lake reflects the bright lights on the shore, and the breeze makes the waves sparkle, like a dream. The small square in the park was bustling with people performing traditional dragon and lion dances, and their wonderful skills drew cheers from the audience. On the lawn not far away, the family sat together, sharing a delicious New Year's Eve dinner, with laughter filling the air. [Rose] Time flies, and we arrive at Xiufeng Park on the sixth day of the first lunar month. The park at this time is less noisy than on New Year's Eve and more peaceful and harmonious. The sun shines on the earth, covering the park with a golden veil. [Rose] People who get up early to exercise are stretching their bodies in the park. They are jogging or doing Tai Chi, enjoying the fresh air and quiet time. On the lawn, children were flying kites. The colorful kites were flying high in the sky, as if playing with the blue sky and white clouds. [Rose] The lake water appears even clearer under the sunshine, and the fish are swimming happily in the water. The flowers on the shore also swayed gently in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance. On the benches in the park, couples sit together, whispering love to each other, it is warm and sweet. [Rose] Whether it is the lively and joyful New Year's Eve or the tranquility and peace on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xiufeng Park has become a warm harbor in people's hearts with its unique charm. It witnesses people's joy and happiness, and also carries everyone's beautiful expectations for future life.
