During the Spring Festival, I started my trip to Wuhan with my family. We went to Snake Mountain in the Year of the Snake⛰️ and the country thought the same thing. So one gate was closed and we had to go back and forth to the other gate. It was a long detour, which was not very convenient.😵💫
Well, it's good to be here. It's not a big place. It's definitely a cool day in the hottest Wuhan, so this place is good overall, but it's too hot. It's newly built and very good.

Mr. Tang's explanations were very thorough, and I could truly feel his heartfelt love for Hunan. The exquisite lacquerware and silk fabrics are rare in other museums, and I was truly enlightened.
We missed out on the free museum entrance, so we booked it through Ctrip the night before. The staff was incredibly helpful, contacting us immediately after 11 PM. The next day, we were escorted directly into the museum without having to wait in line. The staff's explanations were excellent, and it was definitely worth it.

Maybe it was summer vacation so there were more people there. The square was packed with people to watch the light show and climb to the top of Tengwang Pavilion. The corridor was quite hot, so the elderly and children could take the elevator.
Watching the performance in Tengwang Pavilion, a thousand-year performing arts grand prize, the light show and the pavilion are the same color, showing the atmosphere of Hongfu Xindu. The light show is worth recommending, but the scenic area service and signboards have not kept up. The route to the pavilion has changed at night. Tourists have been queuing for half an hour without anyone directing them. No one explained and guided them to the right side of the pavilion.

I really like this set of travel. When I put it on, it happened to catch the sunset and took a lot of beautiful photos. I didn't have any thoughts during the whole trip and no one advertised. It was very comfortable.
Orange Island overlooks Yuelu Mountain to the west and Changsha City to the east. Surrounded by water, it stretches for 5 kilometers, measuring about 40 meters across at its narrowest point and 140 meters wide at its widest point, with a maximum width of just over 300 meters. Its long and narrow shape resembles a dragon. Its most famous feature is the magnificent stone statues of great men.

The sightseeing bus is very convenient. Each scenic spot is quite interesting and you need to walk a lot within the scenic spot. Therefore, you can quickly reach each scenic spot by taking the sightseeing bus, which helps save time and energy.
Lushan is a beautiful mountain. Its beauty lies not only in its natural landscape but also in its profound cultural heritage. In 1937, Zhou Enlai visited Lushan twice to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek. Finally, on July 17, 1937, Chiang Kai-shek issued an anti-Japanese declaration in Lushan. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party jointly fought against Japan. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong also visited Lushan many times.

Built in commemoration of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu, the Du Fu River Pavilion is a replica of an ancient garden structure. Its four-story main pavilion stands 18 meters tall. Facing Orange Island and Yuelu Mountain across the river, it is less than a kilometer from Tianxin Pavilion, forming a cultural connection. Visitors to the Du Fu River Pavilion can experience history, reminisce about Du Fu, savor the poet's masterpieces, and experience Hunan culture. It is now one of the ten new scenic spots of Xiaoxiang.
Arriving in Changsha, I saw the Du Fu River Pavilion, nestled on the Xiangjiang River. This exquisitely simple and elegant building, with its inscriptions in cursive script on the plaque, made me feel as if I had traveled back to the Tang Dynasty, having a close conversation with the great poet Du Fu in his later years. Entering the attic, I learned from the exhibition halls about Du Fu's youthful vigor, his joyful life in his thirties, the turmoil of the An-Shi Rebellion, and his wanderings in his later years. These experiences deepened my understanding of the poet. In the evening, ascending to the top floor of the attic, I witnessed the lights of the Du Fu River Pavilion being turned on, which filled me with awe. The Du Fu River Pavilion offers us clues to understanding the rich cultural history of ancient times and a crucial language for us to engage in dialogue with the ancients. Let us explore Du Fu's magnificent and legendary life together, feel his noble concern for his country and his people, appreciate his heroic demeanor of loyalty and righteousness, and learn from his integrity and perseverance.

Good, good! We went during the day. It has historical and cultural value. Built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to commemorate Dayu's flood control efforts, it's an important symbol of Wuhan's history and culture. It offers excellent views, facing the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. It's a national AAA-rated scenic spot with free admission, making it a very cost-effective tourist attraction.
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island. This is the best place to view the Yangtze River and the three towns of Wuhan. The Yuji Palace itself has a long history, but the scenic area is too small and too single, resulting in a tour time of only about an hour. In short, except for the lack of content, it is worth recommending.

Tour guide Xiao Jin's explanations were incredibly detailed and interactive, and the photos he took were beautiful too. A truly worthwhile experience! Highly recommended!
Also, I was lucky enough to get a front-row seat for the chime performance!
Going in the morning when the park opens was the right decision. We missed the crowds at every point, and seeing the cultural relics up close was quite stunning. After a tiring day, listening to the chime performance was very nice! The entire itinerary followed the pace of our guide, Shang, and was very comfortable. The explanations were also very interesting, making it a worthwhile trip for children.

Not many people visit, and it's still underdeveloped. Admission is free if you recite the Yueyang Tower Inscription.
The weather was beautiful and sunny.
The breeze by the river was refreshing, making it worth a thorough visit.
The weather was very hot, but the scenery was beautiful. There was history, scenery, and what I read in books and felt with my heart. It was not bad. Worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world.

We descended the mountain a little after 1:00 PM. The queue lasted an hour and a half, a bit less than expected, but the line was winding and endless, and quite agonizing. The weather was scorching, and even with the misting, it was still unbearable. Each carriage only held six people, so there was no rush. There's an emergency downhill route below the Golden Summit that takes you to the cable car in 30 minutes, saving a lot of time.
The hotel and mountain both is paradise. No words to explain
