4.5Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area(15 reviews) - The natural beauty of misty Dongjiang Lake Bodies of Water • Historic Walking Areas • National Parks
Dongjiang Lake, Zixing County, Hunan Province, is 280 meters above sea level , and classified by China as a National five-star tourist attractions. There is state ecological protection over the area. Only a few boats are allowed to adorn the lake for tourists to take photographs. The lake waters are clear, calm, peaceful, and drinkable. The water quality meets the state-level requirement for human consumption. After a brief rain, the air seems fresher than ever. We got up early in the morning to watch the boat with the burning light. Great scenic water and mountain views in all directions. We came to Dongjiang Lake after our sightseeing in Gao Xiling, Chenzhou, Hunan Province.See more..
Nice nature reserve with lots of rocks formations and flora . A lot of walking required so make sure you carry lots of water as there are a few stops along the way for drinks but not too many . Lots of fantastic Water Lotus plants . See more..

4.0Taohuayuan National Park(6 reviews) - Taoist oriented commune with nature! National Parks • Forests
Enjoyed a guided 2 hour tour, but didn't have enough time to take in all that I wanted. I will go back to enjoy what I missed. The park-like setting has Taoist temples and exhibits and easy hiking trails and walkways. To get the most out of it I would suggest two days, staying overnight in the park. Go and unwind. It will be crowded during peach blossom time and hot and humid in the summer. But there are lots of shady paths. I was there in June. It's a good place to learn something about Taoism as you enjoy the relaxing environment.See more..
The car ride from Yueyang city to Dayun mountain national forest 大云山 took about 2 hours drive through narrow hillside roads , barely wide enough for just 1 car . I would not recommend overseas visitors to China to undertake this car journey without a local guide . On arrival at the Da Yun mountain , we were confronted with a collection booth for an entrance fee of 38 RMB per passenger and 20 RMB per car . What a rip off ! From the gate booth to one of the ancient temple called ZhenJun Temple which was built during the Northern Song Dynasty 2,000 years ago . Before the ZhenJun Temple ,there is another temple with an orange color roof which I was told , is also pretty old . But it has a nasty commercial streak from the temple management . In this temple , Offerings to pray for family welfare etc come in various prices according to the devotee budget or wallet . The cheapest offering to pray for family welfare peace and happiness is 168 RMB . It was a steep climb to the ZhenJun temple from the base and in the temple compound there is a further two other temples , one small and the other a larger one . The smaller temple looks a bit older with its low ceiling and solid stone walls . There is no visible relics or sculpture to indicate that the ZhenJun temple was built during the Northern Song period . Unfortunately the English inscriptions describing the temple on a stone tablet for the ZhenJun temple were barely legible . Not worth the entrance fee of 38 RMB per person but most importantly it is not worth the 2 hours drive through small hilly villages with big farmer mansion type of houses , spreading out their rice Padi ( husky rice ) to dry on windy narrow hillside roads .See more..
