Hunan's Secret Realm Hidden in Clouds-Changsha-Jiang Xiaodong-Gaoyiling-Chenzhou

Xiaodongjiang River is clear, the water temperature is low, the water is foggy in the morning and evening, and a boat is ushered in with the wind. Fishermen who used to fish and hunt here now make a living by casting nets to catch fish.

They cultivated a tacit understanding with photographers who came here to shoot large-scale scenery, sometimes fishing, sometimes punting in red, and casting nets at the climax, which filled the fairyland with the Jiang Xiaodong scenery in the morning fog.

Gaoyiling, which has been driving from Dongjiang to the east for about 3 hours since childhood, is an undeveloped Danxia landform. The most suitable way to see the beautiful scenery of Gaoyiling is hiking.

Walking, squatting, or crawling, there are not many artificial buildings along the way. With one pair of hands, you can cross layers of strange rocks and caves, and finally stand on the top of the rocky mountain and enjoy the pleasant breeze.

If you go after heavy rain, colorful purple sandstone will show different colors, just like Shan Ye's canvas, which is really beautiful.

Gaoyiling has not been developed commercially, and the safety measures such as fences in the mountains are not perfect, so you should pay attention to safety when hiking.
