Xiangtan County, Xiangtan City, Hunan – Travel Guide

Located at the foot of Wushi Peak in Wushi Town, consisting of the former residence, bronze statue square, and memorial hall. The former residence is a typical central Hunan farmhouse. The memorial hall, themed "Iron Blood Loyal Heart," showcases Peng Dehuai's revolutionary life through artifacts, photos, and scene reconstructions. Exhibits on the "Hundred Regiments Offensive" and "Korean War" are particularly striking. It is a national red tourism classic scenic spot.

Located at Xingdou Pond in Baishi Town, this is where the master of Chinese painting Qi Baishi was born (1864) and lived until age 27. The residence is a wood-and-earth farmhouse, preserving farming tools and painting implements used by Qi Baishi in his early years. Surrounded by rice paddies, it recreates the pastoral environment of the master's early life, serving as an important site to understand the origins of Qi Baishi's art.

Also known as Longshan Mountain, it became famous when Neo-Confucian scholars Hu Anguo and his son Hu Hong of the Southern Song dynasty lived here in seclusion to teach, making it one of the important birthplaces of Huxiang culture. The mountain features relics such as the tombs of Hu Anguo and his son, Sanxian Shrine, and Lianxi Shrine. The main peak is 437 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. With towering ancient trees and profound cultural heritage, it is known as "Little Lushan in Central Hunan."

A natural spring renowned for its "flowing charm of Biquan." The pool maintains a constant temperature year-round, crystal clear. Legend says it was the drinking water source for Hu Anguo while he wrote his books during the Southern Song dynasty. Beside the pool lie ruins of Biquan Academy and the Dragon King Temple. Water gushes from rock crevices, creating a spectacular "jade spray and pearl leap" phenomenon, surrounded by ancient camphor trees — a scenic blend of nature and culture.
