Where is the most fun place in Hunan?

Overview of Hunan’s scenic spots and historic sites

Hunan is a province with excellent natural scenery, and it also has a very long cultural history! There is Dongting in the north, Chenzhou and Hengshan in the south, Jinggang in the east, Wuling, Jishou, Fenghuang and Mengdong River in the west. Among them is the ancient city of Changsha. Relying on the main highways, the Beijing-Guangzhou Line and the Zhiliu Line, according to the classification of nature and humanity, and the separation of administrative regions, we divide Hunan's tourism resources into fifteen major tourist areas:

Changsha Tourist Area: < /p>

Changsha, as the political, economic and cultural center of Hunan Province, has relatively complete tourist reception facilities and comprehensive services. Most of the main attractions are related to cultural monuments. The main attractions include the Provincial Museum (visit the Mawangdui Cultural Relics Exhibition), the Municipal Museum (Zou Ma Lou Three Kingdoms Wu Slips), Yuelu Academy (Millennium Academy), Gulushan Temple (the first Taoist temple in Huxiang), Aiwan Pavilion (stop and sit on the Ai Feng Pavilion) Lin Wan), Juzizhoutou (Qinyuanchun.Changsha), the First Normal School (Mao Caifengshen), Kaifu Temple (the nearest temple to us), Tongguan Kiln (the best kiln in the world in the Tang Dynasty)... ....In addition, in Huaminglou Town, Ningxiang City, outside Changsha City, there is Liu Shaoqi's former residence and Liu Shaoqi Memorial Hall. Chrysanthemum stone carvings are relatively high-end tourist souvenirs. The newly opened Daweishan Tourist Area in Liuyang is not yet a truly developed tourist area. It is said that its investors want to use hunting as a leader to drive tourism. Therefore, it is more attractive to foreign guests and high-end consumers, especially hunting enthusiasts. Personally, I think it's not as good as other attractions.

Xiangtan Shaoshan Tourist Area:

Xiangtan, known as Tanzhou in ancient times, has a history of more than 1,400 years. Attractions include Zhaoshan, Yunmen Temple, and Daizishan ruins.
