Gentle streams babble softly, and tea fields shimmer with vibrant greenery. As you stroll through this enchanting place, you’ll find yourself gazing into the distance at misty mountain ranges wreathed in clouds, while up close, you’ll notice wisps of smoke rising from rustic farmhouses. The sounds of chickens and dogs echo faintly in your ears—memories of childhood, dreams of youth, the journey of middle age, and the peaceful haven of old age—all seem to unfold before your eyes in an instant, stirring deep feelings of nostalgia and affection for your homeland. The interplay of mountain lakes, wetlands, and terraced tea fields creates a picturesque scene; meanwhile, intangible cultural heritage such as lantern opera, selenium-rich tea culture, and Tujia folk traditions collectively imbue the area with both natural beauty and cultural richness, offering visitors a unique blend of scenic views and recreational experiences.
