The article described Tianmen Mountain's breathtaking scenery as beyond what cameras can capture, with its roaring waterfalls and precipitous cliffs delivering awe-inspiring vistas. It also vividly depicted the thousand-year-old Miao ethnic traditions along the Tuojiang River in Fenghuang Ancient Town, while recommending the treasures of the Mawangdui Han Tombs in Changsha and the city's vibrant fusion of tradition and modernity. Additionally, the coverage highlighted several premium destinations: Liuyang, known as the "Hometown of Fireworks"; the vast Dongting Lake; Furong Town, a "thousand-year-old town hanging on a waterfall"; and, Hengshan Mountain, a sacred place of Buddhism.
The report specifically mentioned that China's visa-free policy for 48 countries, including Germany, has been extended until December 31, 2026.
