Hunan travel guide April 8, 29? Wednesday? 4:46 I can't get help from the mountains and rivers if I don't visit Hunan.

In recent years, because of my work and my personal hobbies, I have almost visited all the famous mountains and rivers in Hunan. The ancients said, "The benevolent enjoys Leshan, and the wise enjoys water." In my opinion, no matter the benevolent, the wise, the ordinary or the mediocre, as long as you walk into the landscape of Hunan, you will be happy to return, attracted, moved and shocked by the natural beauty of her pristine ecology, the weather-beaten beauty and the heavy culture. . .

have you ever been to Dongting lake? If you've been there, you'll be able to appreciate her vastness and realize the vicissitudes and worries she carries. Dongting Lake is the mother lake in Hunan and the second largest freshwater lake in China, with an area of six times that of Biwa Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Japan. For thousands of years, literati, poets and ordinary people have worked here, leaving behind timeless famous sayings and splendid farming culture. According to legend, Xi Shi lived in seclusion in Chishan Island in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qu Yuan, a famous cultural figure in the world and a great patriotic poet, worries about the times and is cynical here, so he travels to famous articles such as Li Sao and Tian Wen. Fan Zhongyan's famous sentence "Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later" is also a work of feeling the lake. ?

have you ever been to Zhangjiajie? If you have been there, you will be amazed at the wonders of nature, intoxicated with the seclusion and magic of fairyland on earth. As the first national forest park in China, Zhangjiajie has many titles. It is a world natural heritage, a world geological park and a national five-A-level scenic spot. With 3, strange peaks and 8 beautiful waters, she is one of the most famous mountains, and its stunning beauty is beyond description in any words. As a result, some people say: Life is less than Zhangjiajie, and it is futile to read all Qian Shan. This is not an exaggeration. ?

have you ever been to yuelu mountain? If you have been there, you will be impressed by the bright stars of Hunan celebrities, and you can't help but sigh that "only Chu Youcai will prosper in Si". Mountains and rivers are wise men, and the times make heroes. The so-called outstanding people in Hunan are best explained here. ?

have you ever been to phoenix? If you give it, you can understand her simplicity, elegance and rich historical background. You can also enjoy what the famous New Zealand poet Yi Louis called the most beautiful small city in the south of China. ?

Maybe you haven't been to Hunan, maybe you have been to Hunan, but you haven't visited the beautiful scenery of Hunan. Even though you were born in Hunan, your footprints have only stepped on the front line and corner of Hunan for the time being. Then, please pack your luggage, get rid of your footsteps and walk into the mountains and rivers of Hunan to appreciate and taste the beautiful scenery, heavy history and splendid culture. . . .

5. Hunan cuisine: I like spicy food. There are many stresses on spicy food in Hunan cuisine, including sour and spicy food, spicy food, burnt spicy food, oily spicy food, spicy food, crisp spicy food, fresh spicy food, bitter spicy food and so on. All kinds of spicy food have different seasoning functions in different dishes. It is relatively cheap to budget the travel expenses in Hunan. In terms of accommodation, the price of Changsha hotels is relatively moderate, with the standard room price of ordinary hotels ranging from 1 to 2, and the price of high-star hotels is relatively low compared with other big cities, with some small hotels and guest houses priced below 1. Accommodation in other places is cheaper than that in Changsha. For example, as long as Phoenix is not in the peak period, the price is generally 2? -Around 3 yuan, the key is to bargain. In terms of food, local restaurants are very cheap. For example, in Phoenix, the fried vegetables are usually 5-6 yuan, the famous local blood rake duck is mostly 25 yuan, and the hot and sour fish is around 2 yuan. There are also many snacks, including a bowl of bean jelly 1 yuan, a box of social food 2 yuan, a large piece of plum blossom cake 2 yuan, two pieces of pickled radish 1 yuan, two pieces of stinky tofu 1 yuan and a bowl of glutinous rice balls 2 yuan. There is also glutinous rice wine, which is generally one catty in 5 yuan, and one catty in 1 yuan if it is better. Zhangjiajie is a little expensive. In the scenic area, the dishes with meat are above 3 yuan, the game dishes are above 8 yuan, and there are wild boar, bamboo chicken, fir fungus, wild fungus, etc., and the vegetables are above 15 yuan. But it's very cheap in the city, and there are food stalls all over the street at night. 5 yuan money can make four people eat very well. It's also cheap to take meals at the farmhouse.

generally speaking, the minimum travel expenses for one day can be controlled within 5 yuan.

It's also a good choice to travel and experience Hunan culture during local festivals. The people near Dongting Lake in northern Hunan attach the most importance to four festivals in a year, namely, the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the twelfth lunar month. The Dragon Boat Festival should be regarded as the most lively festival. On this day, people put calamus and mugwort leaves on the door, eat zongzi, drink realgar wine and race dragon boats. ? Tujia people in western Hunan spend three years each year, the 29th (or 28th) of the twelfth lunar month, the 25th of June in the lunar calendar, and the 1st of October. On the night of "Catch the New Year", a bonfire was lit in the hollow field of the village, and Tujia men and women danced around the bonfire and sang songs to celebrate the New Year. The "June Year" originated from an important migration in the history of the Tujia people. The day when the migration was completed was June 25th of the lunar calendar. After settling down, the Tujia people decided to celebrate the New Year first, and on this day, they slaughtered cows to worship the gods, and gradually formed the habit of "June Year". The "October Year" was carried out by the Tujia people to welcome the first harvest season in their new homeland after their migration. On the first day of October, the Tujia people organized celebrations, killing pigs and drinking wine, and greeting each other, thus forming the "October Year". ?

The Bai people in Zhangjiajie have the traditional custom of holding the Torch Festival on June 25th of the lunar calendar every year, which is an activity related to eliminating pests and protecting crops. On this day, Bai people will hold a celebration ceremony to wish the crops a bumper harvest and the livestock fat. The main activities are ancestor worship, torch worship, torch playing, torch lighting and torch jumping.
