This is not Zhangjiajie.
This is not Zhangjiajie, but the scenery here is no less than that of Zhangjiajie. It may even be better because there are fewer tourists, making for a better experience. It's a bit niche, maybe because it's closer to Guangdong? I don't know.

You don't need to climb to see the sea of clouds and strange peaks; Mangshan is very interesting
Mangshan Mangshan National Forest Park is indeed a place worth visiting.
Mangshan is divided into two scenic areas, East Gate and West Gate. This time, we visited the 'no climbing' Wuzhifeng Scenic Area.
The entire tour starts from the East Gate, where you can visit Yao Tai Welcoming Guests, Golden Toad Worshiping Buddha, Heart-shaped Reflection Pool, Bagua Platform, Wonderful Pen Producing Flowers, Wuzhifeng Viewing Platform, Heart-printing Platform, Canyon Restaurant, Skyscraper Elevator, Guangdong Viewing Platform, Golden Whip Divine Pillar, Cool Platform, Small Heavenly Platform Viewing Platform, and so on.
Let's talk about the overall experience:
First, climbing the Wuzhifeng Scenic Area is not difficult. It is said that you can 'climb' it even in a wheelchair; it's a 'no climbing mountain.' There are barrier-free passages throughout, and cable cars and elevators to assist. Those with better physical strength can walk faster, while those with less can take it slow (we encountered volunteers pushing wheelchairs for people with mobility issues).
Secondly, the scenery is indeed beautiful. You can enjoy the sea of clouds, strange peaks, blue sky, and peculiar rocks, all showcasing the wonders of nature.
Additionally, you can experience different weather changes. It might be sunny one moment, and suddenly fog and rain might appear while walking. After the rain, the temperature drops sharply, and when the sun comes out, it returns to hot summer, experiencing four seasons in an instant. There are campsites for rent on the mountain, and restaurants, making it quite convenient. However, be sure to bring rain gear, as sudden rain is common. Also, note that the temperature on the mountain is relatively low, with a difference of 5-10°C, so bring warm clothing.

Self-driving Tour - Exploring the Magnificent Mangshan
Mangshan National Forest Park
Depart from Guangzhou at 9 am, take the Guangzhou-G4 Jingzhu-Shaoguan-Yizhang-Lechang City Pingshi Exit-G107 Ligen Town-Tiantang Township-Mangshan National Forest Park, and enter from the west gate around 1 pm. Stay at Xiaobai's Family Guesthouse in Mangshan Linchang, with three bedrooms and a living room, plus a kitchen. If there is a chef among the companions, you can catch chickens that roam freely and pick the abundant green vegetables. The skyward chili peppers are needless to say, the greenery is as lush as a tea garden covering the hills and fields.
In Hunan, along the way, you can see the production of red paper for firecrackers, with large rooms neatly hanging with sheets of red paper, quite peculiar and spectacular.
Tiantai Temple is located at about 1600 meters on Tiantai Mountain, surrounded by peaks and lush forests
When reaching Wanshou Pagoda, heading east to the Great Tiantai, looking at the high stone steps stretching endlessly, everyone stops, their pleas falling on deaf ears. Helplessly, I alone climb the steep cliffs of Yazi Stone... The mountain is high and the wind is fierce, but beside the path, the reeds undulate like waves, and apart from the heavy breathing, not a single bird's chirp is heard. Just as a hint of regret from the hardship arises, suddenly a peak emerges, standing proudly alone, with the mist in the winter ravine growing thicker, the closer I get, the less clear the view. The sunlight comes from behind, casting long shadows of the mountain, quite peculiar. Looking down, the mist covers the dark pines and steep cliffs, all around is silence. Looking back the way I came, the sun sets in the west, and the mountain path appears steeper. The winter in the south is not cold yet, it's like the autumn in the north
Yazi Stone Peak Forest, viewed from the aerial walkway, looks like spears and forks piercing the blue sky. Tiantai Temple in the sunset already shows the majestic atmosphere of a king's long peace.
Due to the upstream hydropower station, the stone bridge below is exposed with layers of pebbles, without clear springs passing by, the gray-white and round stones are silent like the eyes of dead fish, staring at the sky.
As the early sun rises, the sharp light and shadows, the rugged mountain roads, the vehicles seem like a huge musical note striking the strings, with the flying dust like lingering sounds
Around 8 am, driving over the gravel mountain roads, passing through Xiangsi Pit into Xiangyue Peak, this is a peculiar territory, the highest peak belongs to Guangdong, called Shikengkong by Nanling National Forest Park, regarded as the first peak of Lingnan, but the management rights are within Mangshan Linchang. So, you will see a huge stone carved with 'Guangdong's First Peak' in Mangshan Forest Park of Hunan. At the summit, the wind is fierce and the clouds are swirling, it's unbearably cold. The 'Shikengkong' inscription on the cliff wall is fluttering down, barely visible due to the merciless wind and rain.
Then there are the nine twists and eighteen bends that can only be seen in Yunnan or Tibet, with a strange peak called Stone Frog Gazing at the Moon. At this moment, the sky is bright, the stone frog has no moon to gaze at, but the undulating mountains and the vast sea of clouds can be seen.
The Guizi Fort scenic area is about four kilometers, it is recommended to enter from the right and exit from the left. At the beginning, you only walk among the pine and bamboo forests, the wooden walkway and the rocky path are not too hard, but as the walkway undulates, you gradually enter deeper into the forest, the scenery becomes better, with strange pines and bizarre cypresses, and the clouds and mist are vast. When reaching the Natural Gate, suddenly in the place where the sunlight is shining, a white waterfall flies down, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, the rumbling sound is incessant. The General Stone with its helmet and armor looks vivid, hence it is also called General Fort.
The Monkey King Fort is said to be named after the wild Mangshan macaques, but the walkway is currently under repair, with sand being carried and wood being laid, and asphalt being paved, making it difficult to pass. Apart from the maintenance workers, there are hardly any tourists. The cliffs on both sides of the walkway are towering, and the dark places are bone-chillingly cold. Along the way, multi-level waterfalls cascade down, the rapids are turbulent, like a silver bottle suddenly broken. When reaching Jiudie Spring, it abruptly ends. Looking up at the Milky Way hanging upside down, there is no way to go... Finally, at the foot of the mountain, a few small monkeys are seen imprisoned in iron cages.
On the way back, passing through Leping Stone Liantang in Lechang City, suddenly an ancient house appears, with huge hemp stones as the foundation, surrounded by blue brick walls, and towering eaves. I enter alone and meet an old man surnamed Zhong who says this is his ancestral home, with children and grandchildren all having gone out to work or moved elsewhere to live. The setting sun slants on the dark wooden table, under the dirty round stools covered with spider webs, behind the hall is the old man's room, and further back is a huge room, dimly visible filled with miscellaneous items, the surrounding old houses have also half-collapsed, with the remaining half of the carved door lintel displaying the broken splendor.
⛰️Location: Mangshan Yao Township, Yizhang County, Chenzhou
🚗Transportation: Self-driving, about seventy kilometers from the county town, approximately three hundred and thirty kilometers from Guangzhou
🎫Ticket: Old scenic area at the west gate 80, Wuzhishan scenic area at the east gate 280 (including round-trip cable car and shuttle bus)
👣Tour: Mangshan is the largest national forest park in Hunan. The west gate tour route first goes to Monkey King Fort, with multi-level waterfalls cascading down along the way, the rapids are turbulent, like a silver bottle suddenly broken. It takes about three hours to walk slowly. Then to General Fort, as the wooden walkway undulates, you gradually enter deeper into the forest, the scenery becomes better, with strange pines and bizarre cypresses, and the clouds and mist are vast. The journey takes about two hours. The next day, watch the sunrise at Tiantai Mountain
The Wuzhishan scenic area at the east gate is the core essence of the scenic area, and the ticket is really expensive

There are famous mountains such as Hengshan and Lushan in Hunan. Lushan, located in Yizhang County in the south, is relatively unconcerned. It has a total area of 20,000 hectares and is connected to counties such as Yangshan and Ruyuan in Guangdong. The same mountain in Guangdong is called Nanling National Forest Park, and the other side of Hunan is called Lushan National Forest Park. The
Lushan National Forest Park has more than 1,500 mountain peaks and more than 6,000 hectares of virgin forest. Lushan is named after the forest otter and the python. It is also the hometown of the rare snake . It is two meters in length and highly toxic. It likes to live in the mountains of 700 to 1100 meters above sea level.
The rivers and rivers are horizontal and vertical, the waterfalls are densely covered, the trails are strolling, and the mountains and forests are full of fun.
Because the mountains are continuous, the forest is deep, and the scenery is often smog. Although sometimes the main scenes are not visible, there is a sense of deep mystery between the two. The Guizizhai Scenic Area and the Monkey King Village Scenic Spot are more interesting. If you visit both scenic spots, it takes two days. If you take a scenic spot such as Linze Lake and Yazi Stone, it takes three days. The tour group usually only takes the essence, and the journey takes about one and a half days.
Lushan Forest Park has sufficient oxygen content. If you visit the spring flowering season, you can also see the wild azaleas. Due to the large area, it is recommended to visit in the open areas, try to join the group or accompany you, and do not enter the undeveloped area in violation of regulations to prevent danger.

is famous for the sea of clouds, just the day before it rained.
A piece of white mountain on the mountain, like stepping on the clouds, walking on the plank road, attracted by the strange mountains and rocks of Lushan, Lin Youfeng Qi. Although it was not the first time I saw Qishan, it was the first time I saw such a spectacular sea of clouds. The distance between the cloud and my hand was touchable. I could still feel it flowing through my fingertips...

Traveling to southern Hunan, you must go to Lushan, and of course you have to go to Guizi Village. This name sounds a little scary. In fact, it is one of the most oxygen-rich outdoor paradise in Lushan.
Because the mountain is steep, you must transfer to the scenic bus by visiting the Guizizhai.
From the entrance of the scenic spot to the core area, depending on the weather, it takes about 20 minutes to half an hour.
Guizizhai scenic spot Linhaiyu, the peaks are towering, but because of the heavy fog, you can't see the majestic colors of the mountains, but there is another wonderful feeling in the fog. The
plank road runs along the stream and the destination is the general stone.
Guizi Village has a negative ion content of 106,900 / cubic centimeter, which is a veritable health resort paradise.
Although it has long been famous, the Guizizhai Scenic Area still maintains a quiet and quiet.

Mountain trails to visit the Monkey King Village Waterfall Scenic Area.
First pass through a sling bridge, under the bridge is a small stream flowing through the stream, the stream is clear and visible under the gravel. The mountain of

Sometimes different waterfalls are close together, and each other sounds like a duo.

This is a natural big oxygen bar. There is no impurity in the air. It feels like a few breaths can live longer.

The environment here is full of natural wildness. Most of you who traveled to the mountains, you are intoxicated before the devils. It is in the depths of the original Lin Biao, in the deep valley of more than 300 meters, thousands of feet of waterfalls raging, surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, the strange pines are amazing.
After the general stone continues to move forward, it is the way down. When you are foggy, you can't see any distant vision, but you can enjoy the nature with your body's other senses.
After the general stone is a cliff, the slope of walking is also very big, but you can always hear the sound of roaring water, presumably there is a waterfall with a very large span.
