Yongzhou Pingzhou Academy: Poetic Xiaoxiang, Ancient Charm

In the gentle spring rain, we followed the trail to Pingzhou Academy, where the two rivers of Xiaoxiang converge. The name "Bai Pingzhou" or "Pingzhou" comes from the poetic realm of "Climb the white duckweed and look far, meet the beauty at dusk" in "The Nine Songs: The Lady of the Xiang River" in "The Songs of Chu", like the ancient charm in the long river of time, lingering and lingering.

This is the location of the first of the eight ancient Xiaoxiang scenic spots, "Xiaoxiang Night Rain", and one of the eight scenic spots in Yongzhou. Every time the spring tide rises in Pingzhou, the misty water is vast, and the small island is like a light boat, swaying gracefully on the blue waves, showing the gentle and beautiful water town of Jiangnan.

🎫 Ticket price: CNY 30
🛥 Transportation: You need to take a boat to get there, and the round-trip ticket is CNY 20. Enjoy the scenery along the shore on the leisurely waterway, which is a unique charm.
📌 Travel tips:

1. The ancient poetry stele forest corridor is engraved with many ancient poems related to Xiaoxiang, but there are printing flaws in it, and exploring these small mistakes has become a different kind of fun in the tour.
2. The original banana forest in the academy has disappeared, leaving only a trace of doubt, which is thought-provoking.
3. The courtyard is deep, and the door holes are scattered, and every step is a scene, which can be painted. Supermodel Liu Wen also left a picture of fashion and ancient charm intertwined here, which is a check-in place for photography enthusiasts.
4. Surrounding attractions such as Huilong Tower, Liuzi Street, Xiaoshitan, Gumu Pool, and Dongshan Scenic Area are scattered, connecting the cultural context and natural beauty of this land, which is worth exploring one by one, allowing the soul to travel freely between history and mountains and rivers.
