Niche means pure travel, niche means less disruptive tourism business, niche means many landscapes we can enjoy alone. Take you on a journey through the vast western Hunan, to experience the mystery of untouched lands.

Changsha

It is known as the 'Hometown of Qu Yuan and Jia Yi', 'Famous City of Chu and Han', and 'Xiaoxiang Zhusi'. It has historical sites such as the Mawangdui Han Tombs, the Four-goat Square Zun, the Wu Bamboo Slips of the Three Kingdoms, the Yuelu Academy, and the Tongguan Kiln.
