           Youyang Taohuayuan scenic spot is now a national AAAAA tourist attraction and a national forest park. It is located in the hinterland of Wuling Mountain at the junction of Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou provinces. It is 360 kilometers away from the main city of Chongqing, with a total area of ​​50 square kilometers. Integrating karst geological wonders, Qin and Jin farming culture, Tujia folk culture, and natural ecological culture, it condenses the beautiful original ecological and natural pastoral scenery of Wuling Mountain in China, and inherits the long humanistic history and splendid national culture of Tujia and Miao. It is an ideal tourist destination for modern people to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, step into the Qin and Jin Dynasties, explore geological wonders, and return to the green paradise. It has been selected as one of the "Top Ten Cultural and Leisure Tourism Brand Scenic Spots", "China's Most Influential Tourism Brand in the World" and CCTV's "Comfortable Scenic Spot Ranking".


           The scenic spot is composed of Xanadu, Taikoo Cave, Youzhou Ancient City, Taohuayuan Forest Park, Taohuayuan Square, Taohuayuan Style Town, Eryou Mountain Xanadu Cultural Theme Park, and Taoyuan Grand Stage. Due to the imperial precept of "barbarians do not leave caves and Hans do not enter" in the Wuling Mountain area since ancient times, the scenic spot has been sleeping in the Wuling Mountains for more than 1,600 years. According to the "Youyang Zhili Prefecture General Chronicle": "The shape of the nucleus is not the same as that of the peach blossom garden recorded by Yuanming." According to the "Sichuan Tongzhi" record: "Youyang Han belongs to the mausoleum of Wuling County, Is this what the fisherman asks, does Anzhi not lie here?” Experts and scholars at home and abroad demonstrated from six aspects of geography, route, scenery, history, distance and environment, and unanimously determined that this is the prototype of Tao Yuanming’s "Peach Blossom Spring".


             The scenic area has beautiful natural pastoral scenery, a long history of humanities, splendid national culture, and strong ethnic customs. The preserved and inherited Tujia hand-waving dance, Youyang folk songs, Konoha love songs, Xilankapu and other folk cultures are unique and complete. The ancient Taoyuan is surrounded by peach forests, delicious grasses, colorful fallen leaves, flat land, criss-crossed fields, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, and dotted villages. Fuxi Cave has a large scale and various sediments in the cave. It was praised by Zhu Xuewen, the "father of Tiankeng in China", as "an underground stone forest and a wonder of the world".


           Taohuayuan National Forest Park has a pure and quiet ecological environment, and is known as "the kingdom of plants and the natural oxygen bar". The ancient city of Youzhou has a total length of 1.3 kilometers. The Tujia stilted buildings are built on the mountain, showing the grandeur of the 800-year-old state capital and the vicissitudes of Youyang's 600-year-old chieftain. Taohuayuan Square covers an area of ​​more than 86,000 square meters, where you can dance, wave your hands and sing, and find the charm of leaves in peace. The Taoyuan Grand Stage can accommodate 2,800 spectators to watch at the same time. The large-scale live performance "Dream of Taoyuan" staged on it is a fine performance that highlights the ethnic culture of Youyang and even the southeast of Chongqing.
