Spot Recommendation:

? About Xuedoushan

Xuduyan: there is the first high waterfall in East China, it is well worth a look, if you want to easily look at the waterfalls, you need to buy an additional ticket for the glass trestle; if you do not want to spend the money, you can storm 800m to walk to the bottom of the waterfalls (with a vertical drop of roughly 200m), it's well worth a look ～

The three hidden pools: on the hidden pools - in the hidden pools - the lower hidden pools, during which there are also A number of small waterfalls, each waterfall is very unique and beautiful, both the scale and personality, the road all the way downhill, relatively good to go, before 15:30 must rush to the entrance about 1 kilometer away from the train ~

Sightseeing Train: the small train is quite interesting, 10 minutes through the mountains and forests, in the car to take pictures of the scenery is very beautiful, 16:00 fortunate enough to catch the last bus ~

Myogaotai: mainly to climb and see Chiang Kai-shek's summer villa, ropeway up the scenery is also good, downhill road is also very good ~

Xuedousi Temple & Zhang Xueliang's seclusion: the main is to see the Big Buddha, one-day tour, these two attractions are estimated to catch up with the only to be discarded ~

Tour recommendations:

1, I personally recommend going to Xuedoushan in the morning, scenic area bus operations have time constraints, stopped at 3:30 p.m., the morning to go to the time will be much more lenient;

2, positioning to the Xuedoushan Visitor Center, to take a unified bus to the transfer station;

3, walk 100m to reach the Qianzhang Rock - Miaogao Terrace checkpoints, first of all, to go to Qianzhang Rock, Miaogao Terrace. Go to Qianzhang Rock, Miaogao Terrace to climb and see Mr. Chiang once commanded the platform; walk 30 ~ 40min to reach the top, sit on the door of the big stone, and Mr. Chiang to see the same type of mountains and rivers;

4, downhill across the road to Xuedoushi Temple to worship Buddha and pray for blessings, this is a Buddhist place, pay attention to dress appropriately;

5, Xuedoushi Temple tour is good to eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles in the temple, beautiful.

6, then at the transfer station on the bus to the three hidden pools, look at the waterfalls on the return to the transfer station - Visitor Center;

About Chiang's Former Residence

Like the history of the Republic of China should be very much like this place, there are a lot of historical events and characters with the inextricable relationship between here ~

1, the Wuling Gate: the must-pass through the door, Mr. Chiang's scenic spot! The must pass through the door, Mr. Chiang in the Republic of China when repaired, the door on the Wuling two words by the Republic of China patriarch Yu Youren inscribed, climbed up to blow the wind on the towers.

2, Wenchang Pavilion: built in the Qing Dynasty in the Yongzheng period, later rebuilt by Mr. Jiang in 1924 when he returned to his hometown to visit the graves, but also during the Republican period, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang went back to the Xikou old home where they lived. It is worth mentioning that here once lived Zhang Xueliang after the Xi'an Incident, it is said to have stayed here for 10 days, and then escorted to Xuedoushan, and then later we all know. This is before Chiang Kai-shek Song Meiling couple after marriage where they lived ~

3, small foreign building: adjacent to the Wenchang Pavilion, which is Chiang Ching-kuo couple used to live in the place, it is worth looking at Chiang Ching-kuo surgery to wash blood monument in honor of his mother, Mao Fu-mei was killed by the Japanese bombing. The small house can be climbed to the top, in the roof to see the near side of the river and the ancient trees. This is the place where Mr. and Mrs. Fang Liang lived after they returned from the Soviet Union. A second back to the Republic of China, the auditorium podium, Mr. Sun Yat-sen statue, wooden stairs, Mr. Chiang's portrait and the left side of the Wuling School historical reenactment, pulling me back to that early years of the Republic of China, the beginning of the first embryonic style of modern education from the Wuling can be reflected.

5, Wuling School: only the auditorium can be visited, Chiang Kai-shek as principal of the school personally visited 29 times focusing on the tour of the Chiang's father and son history museum, the court of the sky-high trees as if to tell people once.

6, Yutai salt store: Mr. Chiang's birthplace on the second floor of the salt store, Chiang Kai-shek's birthplace, is Chiang's grandparents run the official salt store

7, Fenghao room: the original match Mao Fumei, as well as Chiang's mother living place. Chiang's ancestral home, Jingguo's birth mother's back door here was shelled by Japanese invaders
