hengyang Travel Guide

Hengyang, named after its location south of Mount Heng, is also affectionately known as the “Wild Goose City” due to the migratory geese that rest at Huiyan Peak within the city. One of China’s five famous mountains, Mount Heng, is located in here. It is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and the coexistence of both Buddhist and Taoist cultural landmarks. The area is covered in lush pine trees and bamboo groves, which remain green throughout the year. In addition, exotic flowers and herbs emit a fragrant scent throughout the seasons, creating a picturesque environment that attracts many visitors annually.

The best seasons to visit Hengyang are spring and autumn. During these times, the climate is mild, cool, and comfortable, making it ideal for travel. In winter, Heng Mountain offers a magical sight of frosted trees during snow and foggy weather, a phenomenon well worth experiencing.
