Pengshan Scenic Area

Pengshan Scenic Area is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

The Pengshan Scenic Area in Lixian County, Hunan Province, is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, a national five-star leisure estate, one of China’s Most Beautiful Farms, and a rural tourism demonstration site in Hunan Province. It is also a creative base for the Hunan Art Photography Society, the Changde Calligraphers Association, and the Changde Artists Association. The entire scenic area is built around the concepts of preserving natural ecology, promoting health and wellness, and protecting nature. Development has been carried out in harmony with the environment without destroying the original ecosystem, earning it the reputation of an “Ecological Wonderland, Loving Pengshan.”

Pengshan is a culturally radiant mountain that guards the “Cradle of Chinese Civilization, Home of World Rice.” It is a historically rich mountain on the Lixiang Plain, overlooking the river and islands with royal temples towering above. It is a romantic literary mountain where Qu Yuan once recited poetry along the Li River, leaving behind the timeless verse, “The Yuan has angelica, the Li has orchids.” It is also an ecologically harmonious and picturesque mountain abundant in geological relics.

Currently, the Pengshan Scenic Area is mainly divided into six experience zones: the Hometown Dream Experience Zone, Eco-Oxygen Bar Experience Zone, Amusement Experience Zone, Water Interaction Experience Zone, Folk Culture Experience Zone, and Zen Culture Experience Zone. It integrates dining, accommodation, sightseeing, entertainment, experiences, and shopping. Surrounded by green hills and clear waters, where mountains, water, and islands blend naturally, the area captivates visitors and leaves them lingering in admiration.

Hometown Dream Experience Zone: This zone includes five major functions—dining, accommodation, entertainment, education, and shopping—offering a journey through simple and rustic countryside life while you relax and have fun. Dine on original ecological, healthy, and wellness-oriented cuisine; stay in themed guesthouses or elegant rooms; enjoy a full range of leisure activities including KTV, cozy bars, and tea ceremonies. Learn while having fun at the Chengtoushan Geological Culture Museum, botanical science park, and calligraphy & painting rooms. Purchase self-grown, self-raised, and homemade agricultural products, organic purple rice, and seasonal specialty fruits.

Amusement Experience Zone: Take a Ferris wheel ride to overlook the landscape of mountains, water, islands, and the city, or gaze across the Lixiang Plain. Enjoy over ten thrilling and fun amusement rides, including the Crescent Roller Coaster, 7D cinema, roller coaster, paintball, bumper cars, and carousel, allowing you to leave all worries behind and immerse yourself in joy.

Water Interaction Experience Zone: Centered around the Li River and complemented by riverside wetlands, this zone offers boat tours such as painted pleasure boats and speedboats to admire the landscapes on both sides. Onshore experiences include camping tents, barbecues, bonfires, motorhome stays, yurts, and food streets.

Folk Culture Experience Zone: Experience the fragrant tradition of wood-pressed camellia oil, taste self-brewed pure-grain, cave-aged liquors such as the Pengshan Series, and savor free-range poultry, cured meats, and organically grown fruits and vegetables. Participate in folk activities like making glutinous rice cakes.

Zen Culture Experience Zone: The “Siwang Temple,” built in memory of Prince Peng Li Yuance, sits atop Pengshan Mountain. Step into this sacred site of thriving incense and listen to the whispers of Zen amid Confucian teachings. A vegetarian meal and a cup of Zen tea are enough to cleanse the soul.

Eco-Oxygen Bar Experience Zone: The Pengshan Scenic Area enjoys a moderate average temperature, lush vegetation, high-quality water, and fresh air. With its interconnected mountains and water, and a balance of movement and tranquility, it is known as the Natural Oxygen Bar of the Nine Li Regions. Ascend Pengshan, breathe in the fresh air, lean on pavilions, and gaze into the distance to take in the sweeping beauty of the Lixiang Plain.

Pengshan is peacefully enchanting, making it hard to leave. The water lovingly reflects the opposite shore; the mountains harmoniously reveal spiritual grace; the banks silently share dreams in unity; the surroundings linger faithfully with serene comfort.

The Pengshan Scenic Area has commenced its second-phase development, featuring China’s first cross-river glass bridge and the Yuanchou Flower Sea among other sightseeing experiences. These additions aim to transform Pengshan into a nationally renowned leisure and resort destination with strong core appeal.
