It’s not that Jiuzhaigou is unaffordable, but rather that Gongniujiang in Chizhou, Anhui, offers a more cost-effective experience. 🌿 Here’s a guide to a roundtrip day trip to Gongniujiang. 🌿
Location: Gongniujiang Scenic Area, Xinnongcun, Dayan Township, Shitai County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province.
Ticket Price: 88r (including entrance ticket and scenic tour bus). Purchase on Douyin one day prior for the discounted price; otherwise, it’s 108r on the day of. Student tickets are 63r and must be purchased on-site.
Operating Hours: 8:00-17:00. Direct shuttle buses are available from Chizhou High-speed Railway Station to the scenic area. The new shuttle service operates on the hour, eliminating the need for self-planning and public transportation. I took the 11:00 bus and was returned to the station at 16:00. The last bus departs at 17:00.
Photography: The most scenic spot for photography is Longmentan. I only wandered around the foot of the mountain, not ascending, and found it perfect for a leisurely outing, breathing in fresh air, and hiking with scenic views. Embrace the natural beauty and be sure to visit on a sunny day. Although I visited on a cloudy day (April 21st), the water was still emerald green, imagine how stunning it would be on a sunny day! ☀️
Attire: Light-colored clothing, traditional Chinese-style attire, long skirts, and Hanfu are all excellent choices for photography.
🍃 Embrace nature and minimize distractions. Enjoy the serenity and beauty of Gongniujiang. 🍃
