Gusang Isle

Step onto Gusang Island and be transported to a timeless paradise on the Xiang River! This slender island, embraced by emerald waters, boasts millennium-old mulberry trees with gnarled roots and branches heavy with jewel-toned berries in spring. The real gem? A living silkworm cultivation tradition—feed silkworms, reel silk threads, then savor freshly dried mulberry leaf tea. As dusk falls, stroll to the island's tip where fishing boats dance with peach-colored clouds, revealing the poetic rhythm of Hunan's hidden countryside life.
