Gameplay One

A natural oxygen bar, witness the wonders of terraced fields

It takes about 5.5 hours by car from Changsha or by high-speed rail to 溆浦 south station (about 1 hour 's journey) to reach this terraced field "hanging in the clouds". The terraced fields here are at an altitude ranging from 400 meters to 140 meters. The average temperature in summer is only 23℃, which is 7 to 10℃ lower than that in the urban area. Walking through the terraced fields, every breath is filled with the fragrance of rice and the mountain breeze, as if one has stepped into a cool fairyland.

Fengmu 'ao Viewing Platform: From the top, you can overlook the ten-thousand-mu terraced fields. The layered curves resemble the fingerprints of the earth. In the morning, you can encounter the surging sea of clouds, and in the evening, the setting sun melts into golden light. A casual shot will be a masterpiece.

Lying Flat and Enjoying the view at Starry Sky Cloud House: Stay in a homestay suspended in the terraced fields, and open the window to take in the sea of clouds over the terraced fields. In the morning, the clouds and mist swirl around, and at night, the starry river hangs down. You'll be out of the circle in no time.
