Excellent, a superb experience! The whole process was fulfilling and smooth, definitely worth experiencing again. Great, worth doing again!
For family trips, the cable car is a good option, and there are several lines that offer different views. Aside from the long queues due to the crowds, it's a pretty good option overall.

Standing on the banks of the Yangtze River in Wuhan, the Yellow Crane Tower is one of the three famous towers south of the Yangtze River and a landmark of Wuhan. By day, its upturned eaves are adorned with golden glazed tiles, the reinforced concrete structure retaining its ancient charm while subtly ingenious design. Climbing to the top, one can enjoy panoramic views of the Yangtze River surging, the twin bridges spanning the river, and the three towns of Wuhan—a truly beautiful and magnificent sight. "As dusk falls, the Yellow Crane Tower is bathed in warm yellow light, its outline clearly defined. Lanterns under the eaves light up one after another, and the golden tower gleams in the night, like a magnificent palace stepping out of a historical painting. Especially striking is the interplay of light and reflection on the river; from afar, the Yellow Crane Tower seems to float on the shimmering water, a dreamlike beauty." The Yellow Crane Tower is not only a viewing platform but also a historical scroll, every scene telling a story of a thousand years of history. Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" from the Tang Dynasty is hailed as "the finest seven-character regulated verse of the Tang Dynasty." After ascending the tower, Li Bai laid down his brush and sighed, "The scenery before me is indescribable." More than 400 poems and essays by literati throughout history have made it an important image in Chinese poetry. "Beside the steps are stone carvings of Li Bai, Cui Hao, and Bai Juyi. At night, the Yellow Crane Tower illuminated by the light, coupled with the misty rain, is breathtakingly beautiful!"
October 23, 2025. Autumn colors deepen every year, and Frost's Descent arrives as scheduled. Today at 11:51 AM, we welcome Frost's Descent, the last solar term of autumn. It's a beautiful day; the long-awaited sun finally came out. We headed to the Yellow Crane Tower early this morning. Tickets for the Yellow Crane Tower Park are 70 yuan online. The day before, they were 65 yuan. Seniors over 60 pay 35 yuan. I booked through Meituan, so it was 33 yuan, probably with a discount. There weren't many people this morning, so we walked up the tall stairs. Seeing that getting to the Yellow Crane Tower involved a walk up a mountain path, we bought a round-trip electric cart ticket for 10 yuan. If you're physically fit, you can also follow the central path and see the pavilions, terraces, towers, and galleries along the way. There's no need to buy a separate ticket for the Yellow Crane Tower itself; the park ticket includes it. After getting off the electric cart, we felt like we were watching a show. Although the show wasn't long, it showed the charm of the Chu Kingdom. We took some photos around the area and then went up the Yellow Crane Tower. The Yellow Crane Tower has five floors, each with its own attractions. On the third floor, you can hear flute music playing, its melodious strains transporting you to the Chu Kingdom era. Each floor offers a different view of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the TV tower. "The Yellow Crane Tower" is a seven-character regulated poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao, from which the tower derives its name.
"The ancients have ridden the yellow crane away, leaving only this empty tower.
The yellow crane is gone, never to return; white clouds drift aimlessly for a thousand years.
The clear river reflects the trees of Hanyang; fragrant grasses grow lush on Parrot Island.
Where is my hometown at sunset? The misty waves on the river fill me with sorrow."
The poem, blending scene and emotion with profound imagery, is considered a masterpiece of Tang poetry and greatly enhanced the Yellow Crane Tower's fame. The Yellow Crane Tower is one of the "Three Great Towers of Jiangnan," renowned as a "world-class scenic wonder." Originally built during the Three Kingdoms period, it was repeatedly constructed and destroyed, rebuilt 27 times. The existing Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt in 1985. In Yellow Crane Tower Park, there are also the Millennium Bell, the Wansheng Pagoda, and the Yue Fei Stele Pavilion, among other things. Hello, it's quite beautiful, highly recommended.

The scenery is beautiful, especially the night view, which is quite stunning. The view of the waterfall from the glass bridge is breathtaking! Although it was drizzling, there were still many people. We went in around 3 or 4 pm and didn't leave until 9 pm.
The room was clean and tidy, and the whole place was smart. There was a local restaurant on the first floor with delicious turtle. The cable car was free and they even provided hiking poles. The service was warm and attentive. It would have been perfect if the fermented bean curd and side dishes offered at breakfast had a non-spicy option.

The most anticipated attraction in Jiangxi is the autumn harvest scene, which is particularly beautiful. Taking the cable car there feels like entering a completely different world. It's a large place with plenty of food and drinks, great for exploring, and perfect for taking photos.
During this trip to Huangling, we stayed at a hotel on the mountain. There were dedicated passageways for going up and down the cable car, which was very convenient. Huangling is a very unique scenic area, boasting not only beautiful natural scenery but also ancient Hui-style architecture and residences in its villages, all carrying a rich history and significant cultural value. While enjoying the beautiful natural scenery, you can also feel the pulse of historical development. Overall, a positive experience.

Got my ticket on Trip, and had to exchange for a physical ticket (they'll automatically assign a designated seat) at the Ticketing Office. Show is at 1945 hrs and one can enter from 1845 hrs. There's really no hurry to enter early since it's assigned seating. I was lucky to get a seat in Area 3, which is in the middle section, facing the Pavilion directly. At the start they had some audience engagement activities with giveaways and also sale of calligraphy artwork by 王刚亮, a famous calligrapher, who claims 王羲之 as his great-great-great-grand teacher.The actual performance brings the Pavilion's history to life, through projection, drama, dance and music including fire acrobatics, pyrotechnics and mobile sets. Glad that it's tiered seating for unblocked views. Overall it's an enjoyable 45 mins that I highly recommend.
The setting sun and a lone wild goose fly together; the autumn waters blend seamlessly with the vast sky. Although I didn't witness such a beautiful scene, I gained a deeper understanding of the meaning of "The mountains and passes are difficult to cross; who laments the lost traveler? We meet by chance, all strangers in a foreign land." Highly recommended.

I must commend Xiao Xiao, the museum guide! Her explanations were professional and engaging throughout, clearly and thoroughly explaining the historical origins and cultural details behind the exhibits. She also incorporated fun anecdotes to keep things interesting, and her pacing was excellent, captivating both adults and children. She was enthusiastic and patient, answering all our questions meticulously and even sharing photos, making the visit both educational and incredibly pleasant. With Xiao Xiao as our guide, the museum experience was doubled! Highly recommended!
I've been to Changsha three times and visited the Hunan Provincial Museum all three times—highly recommended! This time, I enrolled my kids in a study tour, which included VR glasses, and they loved it and found it very interesting. Teacher Zeng's explanations were also excellent! 👍

A large park around the river. In addition to enjoying the breeze by the river, you can also see the large statue of Mao Zedong! It's a long way to get in from the subway, and the round trip bus cost 40 yuan, which is not cost-effective! I can only say that if you have nothing to do and have time, it's okay to take a walk if you like to exercise.
The night view is stunning. The light show makes it look bustling and prosperous.
We took the train. It wasn't crowded. Most people went to see the giant statue of Chairman Mao.
We enjoyed the breeze from the Xiang River. The view was also expansive.
It's a shame our stay was short. We didn't get to see every scene in detail.

Comment 1: A Zen-like Pursuit of a Pure Land
In the hustle and bustle of the world, the Donglin Buddha of Lushan stands as a tranquil haven, its majestic presence guarding the purity of faith. The rising of three sticks of incense is not merely a ritual, but a profound question for the soul—as the smoke swirls, have we forgotten the essence of faith? Here, there is no extravagance or utilitarianism, only the whisper of the mountain breeze, as if reminding us: true faith originates from inner clarity, not from the accumulation of external things. Strolling here, every step echoes the past, every glance reveals nature's bounty. To let faith return to its essence is to allow the soul to regain freedom in this pure land, like a lotus rising from the mud unsullied, preserving its true nature amidst chaos.
Comment 2: Faith Awakening in Incense
The Donglin Buddha of Lushan is an oasis in the midst of noise, a place where weary souls can find rest. Three sticks of incense, seemingly simple, carry a thousand years of devotion—they do not seek worldly rewards, but only wish to awaken inner peace. As incense smoke fills the air, the essence of faith gradually becomes clear: it is not blind superstition, but a profound pursuit of the meaning of life. The beauty of the Pure Land lies in its inclusiveness and purification, allowing restless hearts to settle, like the distant and clear tolling of an ancient temple bell. Here, faith is no longer an empty slogan, but is transformed into the land beneath our feet and the blue sky above, reminding us: returning to the essence is returning to the true nature of humanity.
Commentary 3: Harmonious Coexistence of Nature and Faith
The Donglin Buddha of Lushan, with nature as its backdrop, embodies the eternal theme of faith. A Pure Land is a gift from the mountains, a murmur of the streams; three sticks of incense are a dialogue of the soul, a continuation of tradition. When faith merges with nature, we understand: true faith needs no flowery words, only a heart of reverence. In the Pure Land, every fallen leaf is a Zen saying, every ray of sunlight an enlightenment. Letting faith return to its essence is to let humanity coexist harmoniously with nature, to rediscover the original purity in the incense smoke, like spring buds breaking through the soil, ever-renewing.
It's a great place to escape the summer heat, and the prices for food and accommodation are quite reasonable at this time of year. As for meals, you can eat at the hotel, but you can also walk to town to eat, although that's a bit further. It's much, much cooler than down the mountain.

This was my second visit to Hongcun. This time it was more commercialized, with a huge number of tourists. The scenery was still quite nice. Anhui has many ancient villages, so I suggest visiting just one. The entrance fee is quite expensive. Although it's a three-day pass, who can spend three days in one place? This unintentionally raises the ticket price. I suggest improvements! This is our suggestion as tourists: lower the ticket price. Why charge such a high entrance fee for an ancient village?
Before visiting Hongcun, I was already drawn in by its reputation as a "village in a painting," and after seeing it in person, I found it even more beautiful than I expected! Buying tickets on the official website a day in advance saved me 20 yuan, and for only 94 yuan, I could enter the park repeatedly for three days – an incredible value!
I rushed into the scenic area at 6:30 am. There was no one vying for a good spot at the South Lake Bridge; the blue tiles and white walls were reflected on the calm lake surface. The ink-wash painting style from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" seemed to come alive. A quick wide-angle shot with my phone was met with comments on social media asking if it was AI-generated. At 4 pm, I waited at Moon Pond. The sunset gilded the white walls, and the water reflected a "double moon spectacle." After 40 minutes of waiting, I finally got the best spot – the final photos were well worth the wait! The wood carvings at Chengzhitang are a must-see. Shining a phone flashlight at an angle, you can clearly see the eyelashes of the children in the "Hundred Children Celebrating Spring" scene – truly deserving of its title as the "Folk Palace Museum" of Huizhou.
For accommodation, I chose a guesthouse near the South Gate, just a few minutes' walk from the scenic area. The window offered a view of South Lake. The owners were incredibly welcoming, helping with my luggage and providing detailed explanations of the local customs and culture. They even made sure I arrived safely before I checked out. For food, I highly recommend the mildly spicy stinky mandarin fish at Deyuelou Restaurant. The skin is crispy, the flesh is shaped like garlic cloves – it smells pungent but tastes delicious! Also, try the fried hairy tofu sold by the old lady near the Wang Family Ancestral Hall, sprinkled with chili powder – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and incredibly flavorful.
Avoid these pitfalls: The cobblestone paths are extremely uncomfortable on your feet, so definitely don't wear high heels; a bowl of beef noodles inside the scenic area costs 50 yuan, which is not worth it. The "Laozaotou" restaurant outside South Lake offers a much better deal at 38 yuan, including stinky mandarin fish and braised pork with dried bamboo shoots; the "Huangshan Maofeng" tea sold for 10 yuan for 3 packs by the roadside is mostly stale tea. Look for the Hongcun Post Office at the South Gate exit, where you can sample the 68 yuan can of pre-rain tea.
Whether you're admiring the Hui-style architecture, taking stunning ink-wash style photos, or savoring authentic Hui cuisine, Hongcun is worth slowing down and savoring. I'm already missing the morning mist, the evening smoke, and the fresh aromas on my tongue. I'll definitely come back again!

The guesthouse is fresh and elegant, with a stylish design, perfect for taking beautiful photos. You can relax in the lobby, reading or enjoying tea – the perfect choice for leisure. The rooms are clean and tidy, perfectly laid out, with separate wet and dry areas. The bedding is so soft and fluffy you won't want to get out of bed. The location is superb, right at the entrance of the Gangshou Cableway, making it very convenient to get to the Sanqingshan Gangshou Cableway! The owner is warm and attentive, providing pick-up and drop-off service at the scenic area entrance. A particularly thoughtful touch is the massage chair in the room; a quick massage after coming down from the mountain relieved my sore calves. Highlighting luxurious details and a premium experience, it offers exceptional value! For this price, the room and service are truly worth it! Highly recommended!
On November 7th, 2025, coinciding with the start of winter, we kicked off our winter escape plan with a "rain-stopped, fairy-like mountain" trip!
At 7:43 AM sharp, we checked into the Jinsha Cableway. Clutching our 245 yuan adult tickets and 185 yuan senior tickets, we braved the light rain and boarded the cable car, muttering to ourselves, "Is this rain on the start of winter going to soak us to the bone?" But wait! The rain stopped abruptly as soon as we got off the cable car, and the clouds dispersed as if on rewind, revealing the unique peaks and rocks of Sanqing Mountain—the heavens were so biased! It was as if they cleared the way just for us to enjoy the beautiful scenery!
As a "triple crown" of National 5A, World Natural Heritage, and Geopark, Sanqing Mountain truly lived up to its reputation! The S-shaped granite formations from the Early Cretaceous are truly remarkable. The "Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain," a 128-meter-long rock formation piercing the sky, resembles a giant python just awakened from its slumber, bursting forth from the mountainside, as if eager to be recognized as the "world's tallest natural python peak." The "Eastern Goddess" formation is also a perfect recreation, its graceful and ethereal figure in a long dress seemingly enveloped in a fairy-like aura. Today, I witnessed firsthand the so-called "four wonders": strange peaks and rocks, ancient trees and famous flowers, flowing springs and waterfalls, and seas of clouds and mist. Every step I took in the mountains was breathtaking: this isn't just a mountain, it's a top-tier sculpture exhibition by nature! The Taoist culture is also incredibly rich, with over 230 ancient architectural remains hidden in the mountains, including the Sanqing Palace with its Bagua (Eight Trigrams) layout. Sanqing Mountain is truly beautiful!
