    Lovely area with lots of Temples and Hengshan moutain. Didn't see any other western travellers but a place lots of Chinese tourists go to as a sacred area. Note that the train goes to Hengshan which is a very rural place, you can get a bus to Nanyue from there for 8 Yuan just ask the locals where the bus is (take a phrase book!) it is to the left of the train station then walk up to main street. it takes about 15 minutes to Nanyue which is a much nicer town which with its mountain ranges, looks like a village in the Alps! Temples here are expensive to get in by Chinese standards. Nanyue temple is 50 Yuan each, but very beautiful. We got in the Zhusheng Si temple for free though because it was closing up but I don't know if you have to pay otherwise, this is worth a visit though as it is an 8th century Temple. The Hengshan mountain is also 100 Yuan each, please note that in bad weather the minibuses up the mountain do not run so you can only walk up then. Buses up the mountain, when available and luggage storage facilities are available in the tourist centre in Nanyue. See more..

    去年去南岳衡山写生,感觉很不错,在那里待了一个星期,消费也不高,吃住花了一千左右。每天都会去山上,交通很便利,山脚到半山腰会有中巴,然后从半山腰到去山顶的路可以选择坐缆车,或者自驾游,环境很原生态,觉得是不容错过的旅游景点。而且会有各地的游客,会听到很多不同地方的方言,个人觉得南方的就是广州那边的颇多,一路上很多说白话的大人,多数去祈福的。如果你是爱好旅行的人,这是个值得去的地方。 See more..
