- John12312Singapore, Singapore431 contributionsIf you are visiting Yueyang, this is a must visit attraction. The Pavilion is one of 3 famous towers in Jiang Nan province. Comparing to Yellow Crane Tower at Wuhan which I had been, this tower is not as impressive. Nevertheless the tower impresses with finest traditional Chinese architecture. Inside the compound also displays scaled models of past towers that were destroyed during the reign of ancient dynasty. Nice to roam around to enjoy the lake view at the rear of the tower. Nearby to the attraction is a food street offering lots of local snacks and eateries. You can go to a public piazza nearby to view an enormous aquatic sculpture.Written February 3, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Itravel0neKota Kinabalu, Malaysia1,911 contributionsIt’s cold and winter so not so much activity. But by the lake is the huge square with the big sculpture where you can roam and take picture.Written December 7, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KathleenlimSingapore, Singapore1,815 contributionsAlso known as the "Love Island", it is the largest island in Dongting Lake. A national AAAA scenic area, its attractions include Liu Yi's Well, Tombs of the Two Empresses, Feilai Bell, etc. It also has many flora and fauna especially a variety of bamboos, rare trees of red and green leaves and many birds. Interesting to visit but be prepared to squeeze into the boat for a ride out to the island and do some walking around the attractions. However, there are mini trolley buses to ferry visitors from one attraction to the other on the island. Worthwhile visit as we were told it was for good health and happiness too!Written June 22, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Edward NSydney, Australia351 contributionsWas treated to a visit of the bamboo forest by my host whilst on a business trip to the area. The walk to the top of the mountain (it's bigger than a hill folks) consists mainly of rough but fairly uniform stone stairs. Took just over an hour to make it to the top and was a great workout. Not recommended for those with any health issues as I don't think it would be that easy to call it quits and double back. The bamboo forests are impressive to look at and cooling environment to walk through. The view at the summit was fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed sipping local green tea whilst relaxing after a good heart rate work out. Looks like it could be a popular and busy place on weekends and local vacation periods. I was fortunate to be able to go on a weekday and the number of people then was not an inconvenience. Well worth the drive to get there and a great spot to visit.Written October 19, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John12312Singapore, Singapore431 contributionsThis is a nice park surrounded by grand tall trees. Entry is free. There is even a bamboo forest. The star of the park is a flying-style roof 3-storey tower at the top of the hill fronting the main entrance. You need to go through a long flight of steps to reach the tower. Within the park there is walking path leading to an amusement park. There is also swing bridge which I dare not cross as many children were playing across it. At the other end there is a small lake where many locals spend relaxing. If you are not in rush, take your time to explore the park.Written December 14, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoeBlokeMelbourne, Australia126 contributionsThe Yueyang First Underground shopping strip runs beneath Dong Miao Ling Road
It consists of two levels from the street below . But the lower level which was originally designed to host eatery and food stalls , was not successful and as a result , it is closed off to the public .
The upper level of the underground shopping strip comprises of mainly small shops selling clothes , shoes , toys etc .
The whole underground street is fully air conditioning but lack of circulation of fresh air from the outside , makes the place smell a bit stale and stuffy .
The underground shopping strip ends at the pedestrian mall where KFC is located .
Worth a visit ? Unless you have no other place else to go in Yueyang .
Yueyang is currently undergoing some serious construction work by demolishing old post war buildings and replacing them modern & magnificent high rise shopping centres and residential apartments .Written September 19, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
