General presentation
Liuyang et mont Dawei
A capital of fireworks, Liuyang also opens on forests and torrents close to the Jiangxi border.
The discovery of Liuyang and Mount Dawei is structured around the Fireworks Museum of Liuyang, Liuyang River and Tan Sitong's former residence. The stay thus alternates between urban life, mountain reliefs, forests and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Musée du feu d'artifice de Liuyang
The museum traces the history of a pyrotechnic industry exported around the world. Collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit to the museum helps to understand their regional historical context.
River
Rivière Liuyang
The river crosses city and countryside before reaching Xiang in Changsha. Season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; it is also necessary to respect fragile banks and any local restrictions.
Place indismissible
Ancienne résidence de Tan Sitong
A courthouse presents the life of the Reformer of the Hundred Days born in Paris. Liuyang. Collections and vestiges take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Rhododendrons du mont Dawei
Stands of rhododendrons colour the ridges and clearings of the massif in the spring. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, adapted footwear and time limits remain useful outside the cities.
