Located near the Peach Blossom Scenic Area, Peach Blossom Ancient Town is a free attraction. It is said to have been built with an investment of several billion yuan. Spanning an area of 1,600 acres, the town includes 800 acres of Ming and Qing dynasty-style architecture. These structures are all designed in a traditional style, featuring pavilions, towers, blue bricks, white tiles, small bridges, flowing water, lush greenery, and a serene ambiance filled with birdsong and floral fragrances. While the claim of 'a scenic view at every step' might be slightly exaggerated, the town indeed exudes a classic charm, making it a fantastic spot for photography, especially for those in traditional costumes. Adjacent to the ancient town is Guyuan Lake, which is quite expansive. Nowadays, you can often see locals strolling along the lakeside. I frequently visit to take photos and enjoy a leisurely walk.

Traveling from Guiyang to the Taohuayuan Scenic Area in Changde, Hunan, the distance between the entrance and the visitor center parking lot is approximately 1.5 to 2.0 kilometers.

Ticket prices differ for locals and non-locals (locals: 68 yuan/person for 3 days; non-locals: 128 yuan/person for 3 days). The scenic area is quite large, with many additional paid activities. For example: Time Tunnel - 40 yuan/person, Glass Slide - 25 yuan/person, Combo Ticket - 50 yuan.

When the city's noise wears you out, I follow the footsteps of Tao Yuanming and enter Taohuayuan in Changde. Hi, I am Xiaoyin, a traveler seeking inner peace. In autumn, Taohuayuan is free from the crowds of peak season, with golden rice fields and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers—everything is just right. This place may not be the original prototype of "The Peach Blossom Spring," but the poetic scene of "fresh fragrant grass and falling blossoms" is perfectly embodied in autumn. 【“Exquisite Slow Travel” 2 Days 1 Night Guide】 Day 1: Arrive at Taohuayuan Ancient Town at noon and check into a hotel or guesthouse within the scenic area. In the afternoon, leisurely explore Qin Valley and enjoy the pastoral scenery of "fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry, and bamboo." In the evening, stroll along the shore of Wuliu Lake and watch the reflection of mountains and water at sunset. Day 2: In the morning, focus on climbing Taohua Mountain and visit cultural sites such as the Chrysanthemum Garden, Fangzhu Pavilion, and Jixian Shrine to feel the historical and cultural heritage. Have lunch within the scenic area, then in the afternoon, experience a boat tour on the Yuan River to see Taohuayuan from the water’s perspective before heading back contentedly. 【Autumn Serenity Highlights】 ✅ The harvest scene in Qin Valley: In autumn, the rice fields in Qin Valley turn golden, villagers are busy harvesting, presenting a classic pastoral harvest scene that perfectly matches the description in the text. ✅ The tranquil ancient charm of Taohua Mountain: Ancient trees tower on the mountain, with pavilions and towers nestled among them. Walking in autumn, the scent of osmanthus flowers fills the air, creating an exceptionally peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. ✅ The stunning live performance of "The Peach Blossom Spring": The nighttime live show uses the mountains and water as the stage, with excellent lighting and sound effects, vividly recreating the literary classic. It is a feast for both the eyes and the soul. 【In-depth Experience: Living a Millennium Pastoral Dream in Qin Valley】 Entering Qin Valley feels like an instant time travel. Underfoot are cobblestone paths, flanked by golden rice fields, with lush mountains in the distance. Farmers lead water buffaloes past, and village women wash clothes by the stream. I rented a bicycle and leisurely rode along the ridges, with the rice waves rippling and rustling in the wind. The air is filled with the fresh scent of rice and earth. I stopped to rest under a grass pavilion, staring blankly at the scene before me. No car horns, no work pressures—time seems to have returned to the ancient era of men plowing and women weaving, with the sounds of chickens and dogs nearby. This deep relaxation and peace from within cannot be found in any urban leisure. This journey heals not only the body but also the soul. 【Practical Information TIPS】 ✍🏻 Taohuayuan Scenic Area is large, divided into several zones including Taohua Mountain, Taoyuan Mountain, Qin Valley, and Wuliu Lake. It is recommended to buy a sightseeing bus ticket. ✍🏻 There are many dining options within the scenic area, but prices are slightly higher. You can also eat in the ancient town outside the scenic area. ✍🏻 The live performance is highly recommended but requires a separate ticket and is weather-dependent, so check in advance. ✍🏻 Autumn is the off-season for tourism, offering better accommodation and travel experiences. ✍🏻 Slow down your pace to truly appreciate the essence of Taohuayuan’s “slow life.” This autumn, if you feel weary, consider staying in Taohuayuan for a couple of days. It may not offer you a miracle of complete isolation, but it will surely bring you a long-lost inner peace. Use this guide and set off on a weekend trip!

Qinxi, also known as Shui Xi, is an important tributary of the Yuan River. Legend has it that this is the only way for Wuling fishermen to enter the Peach Blossom Garden, that is, "following the stream, forgetting the distance." The Taohuayuan 5A Scenic Area is mainly divided into two mountains and one lake, and the Qin Valley tour has two main lines. Qinxi does not exist as an independent scenic spot. However, Qinxi gave me two surprises during this short three-day trip to Taohuayuan! At night, the Qinxi Wuliu Pier was crowded with people, and 12 flower boats were waiting to depart, starting the immersive real-life performance tour of "Peach Blossom Spring" by boat. The flower boats are arranged in two orderly rows, traveling quickly in the stream. The sky is getting dark, and the banks are hazy, only the lights on the bow of the boat are shining, and the boatmen and boat girls tell stories and sing loudly from time to time. Passing the Peach Blossom Bridge, the fishermen in the stream "cast their nets to fish", and the performance begins. In an instant, the lights on both sides of the bank light up. As the boat travels, the performances of "Cowherd's Flute", "Washing Clothes Duet", "Farming Scroll", "Village Night Talk", "Water Wedding", "Private School Children's Fun", "Forest Spring Bathing" and "Falling Flowers" are slowly displayed. Here are bright lights and rising mist; there are folk songs and recitations; there is labor and play; there are cows mooing, sheep bleating, dogs barking, and ducks quacking; there are actors performing to their heart's content, and tourists interacting. For a time, I was so immersed in it that I didn't know why. As the rain of flowers sprinkled all over the sky, the performance ended. It is true that: people are sitting in the boat, and the boat is swimming in the painting. The interest is still strong, and the love remains in the heart. The next day, take a boat to the Tangshi Bridge Pier on the Qin Valley tour line, and relive part of yesterday's route, but what you see is another surprise! Maybe it's Monday, there are not many tourists, which is equivalent to chartering a boat for two people [Joyful]. The boat travels slowly, no longer speeding, the stream is slow, the banks are green, the scene seems to be frozen, and the reflection in the stream is occasionally brushed by ripples, like a bird flying out of the forest, and the birdsong breaks the silence. The performance place, the people have left, but the scenery is still there. Recalling the children skipping class and entering the water naked; in the ""Night Talk", the tourists answered in unison "We are outsiders", with different accents; there is still bathing in the forest, oh, the memory remains. Go ashore and start the Qin Valley tour. Qinxi, one word, green; one word, beautiful, buy one get one free; one word, quiet, buy one get two free!

The season has passed, so you can't appreciate the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms all over Peach Blossom Mountain, nor can you experience the wonders of "no other trees, fragrant grass, fresh and beautiful, and fallen flowers are colorful." However, Mr. Wuliu loved, appreciated, chanted, and ate chrysanthemums throughout his life, but he wrote "Peach Blossom Spring," and the taste needs to be carefully savored, rather than obsessing over "exhausting its forests." The various ancient buildings in Peach Blossom Mountain, the footprints of many literati, poetic couplets, calligraphy steles, as well as the beautiful streams and rocks, the ancient pine on the top, and the secluded paths are the real charm of Peach Blossom Mountain. Enter the scenic area through the South Gate and stroll along the Wuliu Lake. The water is rippling, the embankment is full of green willows, and the Peach Blossom and Peach Spring Mountains face each other. Behind the Humble House, starting from the Peach Blossom Mountain Archway, passing through the Peach Blossom Forest, crossing the Qionglin Bridge, admire the stone statue stele in the Yuanming Temple, which is a masterpiece of calligraphy and painting; in the Jixian Temple, Mr. Yuanming's wood carving is in the center, with the sages and predecessors on both sides. The Peach Blossom Temple is large in scale, with the Arhat Ancient Pine guarding the front of the temple, and the Niefeng and Wanyue Pavilions standing on both sides. The Fushou Stele stands in front of the hall, "The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty, the peach blossoms in the cave." Go up to Youran Pavilion for a rest, look up at the Moting Ancient Pine, and explore the immortal's feathering mark; the Gaojuge bell echoes, overlooking the Yuan River; find the Qi Pavilion and the Linxian Pavilion, go down to the Imperial Stele Pavilion, Qianlong's imperial pen; the Xiran, Huoran, and Yiran Pavilions face each other across the pool; Baiyunxuan and Shuiyuanting to Yuxian Bridge, the location of the Eight Scenic Spots "Hidden Bridge Encountering Immortals," the 53-character palindrome poem god stele is unknown when it was erected. The Fangzhu Pavilion is ingenious, with the treasure of Fangzhu behind the pavilion, which is rare in the world, and the stele corridor in front of the pavilion is a great sight. Along the way, ancient pines and green bamboos, green shade; secluded stream springs, green pool reflections; small bridges and ancient roads, winding and turning; pavilions and pavilions compete for wonder, pavilions compete for seclusion; sages and poets, waving their pens to leave traces; Peach Spring Wonderland, blessed land. The Qinren House in Peach Blossom Temple has a Ma Ji Exhibition Hall. It is said that the gentleman's calligraphy does show his skill.
