Chenzhou

A city of mountains and waters in southern Hunan, with Mangshan's primeval forest and the misty Little Dongjiang on Dongjiang Lake.

Chenzhou lies at the southernmost tip of Hunan, on the northern slopes of the Nanling Mountains, bordering Guangdong and Jiangxi. Mangshan National Forest Park in Yizhang County has dramatic mountains, and the Wuzhi Peak area has walkways you can climb. Dongjiang Lake in Zixing has broad waters, and at dawn Little Dongjiang is wreathed in mist, a popular spot for photographers. Near the urban area are sights such as Suxianling and the Gaoyiling Danxia, and there are rich hot spring resources in the surroundings. Spring, summer and autumn are all good, and the mountains are cool in summer. The gateway is Chenzhou West on the Beijing–Guangzhou high-speed railway, quite close to both Guangzhou and Changsha.
