Mysterious landscape and exquisite Chu culture

The combination of Hunan and Hubei gave birth to the romantic genes of "Chu Ci" and the poetic dwelling of "Peach Blossom Spring". Dongting Lake is vast and misty, Zhangjiajie's peaks and forests are like swords, Wudang Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the bluestone road of Fenghuang Ancient City tells the story of a thousand years of Miao history. Here, there are both stories of talented scholars from 'Only Chu has talent' and mysterious folk customs of 'Wu Feng Chu Yun'.
The inscription of "first worry, then happiness" on Yueyang Tower, the ethereal spirit of "thousand years of white clouds" on Yellow Crane Tower, and the mysterious beauty of "unparalleled ancient scenic spot" on Wudang Mountain together form a three-dimensional painting of the "Shanshui Zhou City". The Orange Ode Stele in Quzi Temple and the Bronze Chime Bell in Jingzhou Ancient City further integrate the DNA of Chu culture into every inch of the land.
The itinerary we designed can take a boat through Dongting Lake to watch the fishing boat sing at night, walk along the glass walkway in Zhangjiajie to see the wonders of the peak forest, and stay in the ancient city of Phoenix at night to listen to Miao songs. Every step is a deep dialogue with the 'elf world', and every moment is infused with the spirit of Chu.
