This interesting and exciting bus tour started under companion of a bespoke and experienced tour guide who arranged for our travelling in the past several days.

As one of key tourism destination city in Hunan province, South Central China, Chenzhou is famous for its top-rated tourist attractions including a 5A-class tourist attraction- Dongjiang Lake, nicknamed “The Switzerland of the East, Yangtian Lake Grassland formed by a glacial extinct volcano and Gao Yi Ling scenic area, known for its dramatic and colorful sandstone landform surrounded by freshwater lakes and so on. In this tour, we had a thrilling and memorable travelling experience after visiting a total of four scenic spots in Chenzhou including Yangtian Lake grassland,Via Ferrata adventure base , along with Dongjiang Lake and Gao YiLing Danxia landform.
Singing and practicing kung fu in Yangtian Lake grassland
Our first tourism destination in this tour was Yangtian Lake grassland which covers vast swathes of lush grass with cattle and horse strolling on the grassland. The grassland is strewn with many freshwater lakes which glitter in the sunshine and a number of windmills that move blades slowly. In such a beautiful and marvelous place, we can't help but shout and sing together, delighted in the songs. Some great photos were shot while the Kinglumi girls and boys acted in many creative, artistic and "practicing kung fu" poses.
Challenging Via Ferrata adventure
The most challenging yet the most thrilling part of the tour should be Via Ferrata adventure that requires participants to scramble up steep sandstone mountain and then walk on air on a steel cable. The 300-meter adventure route demands both physical strength and a strong will to overcome fear although participants are always attached to the safety cables in the whole process. Fortunately, all of participants from Kinglumi group finally finished Via Ferrata adventure by encouraging each other and enjoyed spectacular scenery.
See fishermen casting net in Dongjiang foggy lake
The Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area, which's known as natural oxygen bar all year round, is a 5A-class(The highest level of traveling rating in China)tourist attraction. Surrounded by lush and luxuriant forests where many precious birds live, Dongjiang lake attracts tens of thousands visitors every day both at home and abroad to take breathtaking pictures in the morning when fog lingers over the lake and fishermen cast nets in the lake, which creates a mythical, poetic and mysterious atmosphere. In order to have a spectacular view of Dongjiang foggy lake in the early morning, we set off early at 5:30AM but still needed to line up as crowds of people had already arrived ahead of us. Upon arrival, we saw a sea of people taking photos of foggy lake with their camera phones and waiting fishermen to cast net again. Excited and delighted, we also immediately rushed into the crowds and began shooting as many pictures as possible.
Gao Yiling Danxia Landform: Experiencing cliff walking
The last tourism destination in our tour is Gao Yiling Danxia landform which draws tens of thousands visitors every year for its gorgeous and breathtaking sandstone scenery. With many steep sandstone mountains standing side by side, the whole landform looks overwhelmingly magnificent and amazing from the top of the sandstone mountain and the lakes embedded in the steep rocky mountains are shining like gems in the sunshine. Therefore, it's worth a try to walk up the peak and shoot some great photos.
