Xiangjiang New Area has created a new travel route for citizens and tourists around Yuelu Mountain. From Dawang Mountain to Yanghu, from Taohua Ridge to the Fisherman’s Wharf, six types of niche cultural tourism routes have been customized to connect points into lines, gathering food, accommodation, transportation, shopping and entertainment.
