Day 1

Anyuan — the miners' memorial

Half an hour from Changsha by high-speed rail, Pingxiang opens with the Anyuan Road & Mine Workers' Memorial, which records the September 1922 strike by some 17,000 miners and railwaymen; the museum's halls and the preserved mine buildings are factual, respectful visits.

Day 2

Wugong mountain — up to the grasslands

The cableway lifts you toward the summit, 1,918.3 metres on Jin Peak, where a hundred thousand mu of alpine meadow rolls without a tree in sight — sunset, a guesthouse night near the top, and the milky way if clouds allow.

Day 3

Yangqi mountain & the dragon cave — departure

Yangqi mountain's Ordinary Temple is the ancestral home of the Yangqi line of Linji Zen, founded in the Northern Song some nine centuries ago; on the way back, the Nielong cave runs a cool underground river, then the evening train home.
