Guìhuā Xiá
Guifeng Gorge is located in the eastern part of Shegang Town, within the Zhouluo Nature Reserve (Zhouluo Grand Canyon Scenic Area). The slopes on both sides of the creek in the charming valley are covered with approximately 1026 wild osmanthus trees, including three varieties: Dan Gui, Yin Gui, and Jin Gui. It is an extremely rare large-scale wild osmanthus group. In addition to osmanthus trees, the gorge is characterized by steep cliffs and numerous waterfalls, with more than 80 small and large ones. Butterflies can often be seen fluttering about, creating a taste of paradise in the mountains. It is very suitable for a weekend self-driving trip to relax and unwind.
Zhangjiajie
"Shrinking paradise, magnified bonsai", with mist and clouds enveloping the deep-hidden landscape, experiencing ups and downs. Zhangjiajie boasts a complete range of tourism resources, including mountains, water, caves, and drifting, with towering peaks like clouds. There are as many versions of Zhangjiajie's stunning scenery as there are three thousand visitors. The mountain range in Pandora, the planet in "Avatar," was filmed in Zhangjiajie. Although Changsha is over 300 kilometers away from Zhangjiajie, it only takes a 3.5-hour drive. The beauty of Zhangjiajie is worth seeing with your own eyes.
Changsha is quite far from Fenghuang Ancient Town, requiring over 5 hours by car, but many people still choose to drive there. Along the way, you can enjoy the scenery and come to this ancient southwestern mountainous region of the remote Far East, tranquil and mysterious, with winding rivers and a long history. In our opinion, even if it's just for the name of Shen Congwen, one should visit Fenghuang. This beautiful little city is nestled against the mountains and waters, with crisscrossing stone slabs inside the city and the clear Tuojian River outside. Folk songs echo and everything appears calm and serene. Here, lying on a soft rattan chair, brewing a cup of clear tea, is like waiting for a possible result of nothing, just like Cuicui in "The Border Town"...
Golden Sun Hot Spring Resort
The natural hot springs here, known as the "Number One Spring of the Xiao-Xiang," have temperatures as high as 102 degrees Celsius. There are approximately 108 hot spring pools of various sizes, so you can experience different styles and enjoy a hot spring bath if you want.
Tongcheng Hot Spring

Whether it's a weekend gathering with friends or a family reunion, it is very suitable.
Sky Ridge
On the weekend, you can escape the smog of the city and breathe the fresh air of nature by driving to the Tianji Ling National Forest Park. The park covers an area of 140 hectares, with over 85% of it covered by forests. It can be considered a natural oxygen bar. The park has valleys, meadows, lakes, and the beautiful Xian Lake. It also features a cherry blossom garden in spring and a sweet-scented Osmanthus garden in the golden autumn.
Flying Sky Hot Springs
Feitian Hot Springs is located by the Liuyang River, with beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and water.
