Biancheng Tea Valley Scenic Area

⛱️ Must-visit attractions: The size of the scenic area is subjective, depending on how you choose to explore. The typical spots to check in first are the Border Square and the place of Lala Ferry, then take a boat to the opposite Cuicui Island, which has a garden. Remember that there are no boatmen if it gets too late. There's also the ancient Tea Valley Pier, with boats to the opposite side of Guizhou. Additionally, there are various travel photography spots on the streets, with many girls renting clothes for photo shoots. 🌄 Travel tips: It's best to drive here, as the transportation isn't very convenient. It's often possible to legally park on one side of the street when entering the town. It's advisable to book accommodation in advance and have the host designate a parking spot. Remember to cleverly use Guizhou's half-price ETC discount for out-of-province cars on highways. If coming from Guizhou, it's best to exit the last toll station in Guizhou to enjoy the half-price discount, then take a provincial road before entering the Hunan highway. I took that highway to charge my electric car because charging near the scenic area is inconvenient and expensive. It's better to charge at the highway service area before heading to the scenic area. 🏨 Accommodation tips: It's recommended to book early, as there aren't many inns in the town. Some that look nice are not located in the main scenic area of Hunan, so be sure to check the location carefully. I hesitated and didn't book the inn I liked the day before, and it was gone the next day, forcing me to book a slightly more distant inn, which was inconvenient for walking around and drinking at night 😕. Many inns don't have elevators, so you need to ask if luggage assistance is available. 💗 Other tips: There are many small taverns on the main street at night, with an ancient red light ambiance that's quite flavorful. Or you can enjoy the cool breeze by the river, drinking and eating fish barbecue, or dine in a restaurant with special dishes. Overall, it's not expensive. Try their special rice wine; it's delicious. Their street breakfasts are also tasty, including a kind of fried dough with chili rings, whose name I don't know, but it's quite good.
