Hunan Secret Realm Yunshang Courtyard | 2 Days 2 Nights Travel Guide

✔ The best living environment for people is not living in mansions or driving luxury cars, but going to places with soil underfoot, places where you can bask in the sun, and places where you can eat firewood-cooked meals. Only by frequently visiting these places can people walk barefoot on the earth, absorb the earth's energy, soak up the sun's power, and enjoy the joy of being free from worries. 🤗

✔ Location: In the southern part of Zhuzhou, Hunan, there is a small town called Yanling. I like to call it Zhuzhou’s backyard garden. With a forest coverage rate of 98.6%, it ranks first in the province. Here lies Hunan’s purest green wonderland 🌳. In this green wonderland, there is a fairyland residence located at an altitude of 1,350 meters—a hidden treasure leisure resort and summer retreat called Yunshang Courtyard.

✔ Environment Experience: Yunshang Courtyard has excellent ecology, truly a forest oxygen bar. Walking on the stone paths through the woods, surrounded by the sounds of streams and birdsong, with lush greenery everywhere, the temperature is more than ten degrees cooler than the city, instantly refreshing. Quiet, healing, with interlaced light and shadow, it is truly a paradise on earth. Visiting in summer for hiking, oxygen intake, and lung cleansing is simply wonderful.

✔ How to Explore: The attractions in Yunshang Courtyard are spread out, making it ideal for self-driving tours. Driving along the mountain roads, you will be surrounded by bamboo forests, giving a strong sense of nature.

1️⃣ Guilongwo Highland Tea Garden: An ecological tea garden created by Taiwanese tea master Mr. Gu Shengtan. You can taste high mountain oolong tea and enjoy the misty tea garden scenery. The tea garden is very photogenic, reminiscent of Dali in Yunnan. Having visited many tea gardens, none have scenery as beautiful as Guilongwo;
2️⃣ Salt Tea Ancient Road to Admire Yunjin Rhododendrons: Hike along the ancient trade route and feel the historical traces of tea and salt trade during the Ming and Qing dynasties. From March to May, wild rhododendrons bloom all along the mountains. I really enjoy hiking this ancient road, with moss-covered shrubs in the forest, giving a very primitive vibe!
3️⃣ Tiewa Xian Ancient Temple: A Tang Dynasty Taoist temple site. The mountaintop viewing platform offers views of the sea of clouds and sunset, blending a thousand years of history with nature.
4️⃣ Baixian Valley: Named after the rare bird Baixian, it is suitable for hiking and sightseeing. The ecological original mountain streams along the way are crystal clear and very healing.
5️⃣ Dongkeng Waterfall: The highest waterfall in Hunan, with a drop of 200 meters. It takes about half an hour of climbing to reach.
