General presentation
Chenzhou et lac Dongjiang
The foggy lakes, Nanling reliefs and ancient villages distinguish the extreme southeast of Hunan.
To understand what Chenzhou and Dongjiang Lake are, you should look at Lake Dongjiang, River Xiaodongjiang and Mount Suxian. These places give you a view of a territory marked by urban life, the shores and lakes, the mountain reliefs and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Lac Dongjiang
A large reservoir snakes between wooded mountains east of Chenzhou. Season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and any local restrictions must also be respected.
River
Rivière Xiaodongjiang
The morning mist is formed over a cold river downstream of the dam. The season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
Place indismissible
Mont Suxian
Temples, trails and viewpoints occupy a wooded hill near the centre. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, adapted shoes and time limits remain useful outside the cities.
