Oxygen-rich lung-cleansing trip to Daxiong Mountain, Baxi gives you a home-like comfort

Hidden "fairyland secret" in central Hunan! Xinhua Daxiong Mountain + Baxi Jingchen, your perfect vacation package

Still wondering where to go this weekend? Stop crowding the popular spots! In Xinhua, Loudi, Hunan, there’s a treasure that lets you "escape the city and take over an entire forest"—Daxiong Mountain National Forest Park. Paired with the amazing Baxi Jingchen Hotel, a 1.5-hour self-drive unlocks the double joy of "oxygen breathing and ancient exploration + comfortable accommodation." This guide is a must-copy!

Calling it the "natural oxygen bar" of central Hunan is no exaggeration! On 73 square kilometers of land, over 40 peaks rise over a thousand meters, and 18,000 acres of original secondary forest spread like a green carpet. Walking in, even your breath carries the scent of plants—the forest coverage rate reaches 92.6%, meaning every breath is "filtered," and breathing more feels like your lungs are refreshed!

This place is also a "paradise for flora and fauna." If you’re lucky, you might spot the hopping red-bellied pheasant or discover the nationally protected yew and ginkgo trees. Over 100 streams hide in the valleys; stepping into the water in summer and listening to the babbling is ten times more comfortable than air conditioning! The highest peak, Jiulong Peak, stands at 1,622 meters. Catching the sea of clouds at the summit, every photo you take looks like a "fairyland masterpiece."

Don’t think it’s just about looks! Daxiong Mountain is the ancestral home of the cultural ancestor Chiyou. The mountain holds Chiyou’s house site and Chiyou Valley ruins. Walking on the stone paths, you can almost hear stories from a thousand years ago. In the "Records of the Grand Historian," the phrase "The Yellow Emperor went south to the river and climbed Xiong Xiang" refers to this place, making the land beneath your feet feel profoundly historic.

The ancient Xiongshan Temple halfway up the mountain is a must-visit! This old temple from the Qing Yongzheng era houses the "Chinese Ginkgo King," over 1,400 years old. The trunk is so thick that several people holding hands can circle it. In autumn, the golden leaves form a "golden carpet," perfect for photos!

After exploring the forest, want to relax? Baxi Jingchen Hotel is definitely the best choice! Fully equipped with luxurious smart king rooms, cozy couple rooms, and more, the rooms feature full voice control for lights, air conditioning, and curtains, making it super convenient with a high-tech feel.

Thoughtful services add extra points—free parking, luggage storage, everything you need. Self-driving travelers don’t have to worry about parking. After a tiring day, just drop your bags and relax easily. If you’re traveling with a group, the hotel’s multifunctional hall can accommodate small gatherings. Staying here feels like "moving your home into your vacation," with comfort maxed out!

• Secret to easy hiking: drive halfway up the mountain then hike, with scenic rest stops along the way, focusing on "easy travel";
• Temperature warning: 5-8°C difference between summit and foot, bring a light jacket in summer to avoid catching a cold;
• Accommodation choice: choose Baxi Jingchen, comfortable stays make for more enjoyable trips. There might even be special offers during the trial operation!

Feeling tempted already? The natural scenery of Daxiong Mountain combined with the comfortable stay at Baxi Jingchen makes this trip totally worth it~ Quickly invite your family and friends and put this trip on your schedule!
