It has been a long time since I came back from Wuhan, but the trip to Wuhan still left a deep impression on me, especially the beautiful Yellow Crane Tower, and the garden at the entrance was particularly impressive. The tour guide's explanation level was a little poor, but it was also acceptable.
The trip to Wuhan was very impressive. I hadn't originally planned to enter the park, but a few friends decided to watch the night light show. It was really good. The show by the pool was great, especially the main show in front of the tower. We all watched it at the foot of the Yellow Crane Tower. It seemed like half an hour. It was very impressive. At night, the lower floors of the Yellow Crane Tower are closed, as are several areas of the park. I recommend buying a night tour ticket if you can.

The price/performance ratio is not high. I felt sleepy after watching it for a while. The three of us insisted on watching it to the end because we spent money. It was not as good as the entertainment performances in Xi'an. The stage was too far away and we could not see anything clearly.
Qingming Shanghe Park: Recreating the bustling scene of the Northern Song Dynasty, entering the park feels like stepping back into ancient times. Enjoy wonderful folk performances and a variety of local snacks. The night view is truly breathtaking. I even got to see the long-awaited iron flower show. This intangible cultural heritage skill was truly breathtaking, and the audience was thrilled.

The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, while the lush grass covers Parrot Island. This attraction is free and perfect for a leisurely visit with children and the elderly. Take in the tranquil Yangtze River and admire the nearby Yellow Crane Tower and Guishan Park. Visiting in spring or autumn is ideal; sunny summer days can be too hot, but the proximity to the Yangtze River creates a refreshing breeze. The night view is also stunning.
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 Hanyuan Forest of Steles is a hidden gem of culture, steeped in the fragrance of ink! Over 4,000 steles showcase ancient and modern calligraphy. The elegant gardens and stele corridors complement each other beautifully, and regular cultural events add to the vibrant atmosphere. A stroll through the area is filled with poetic charm, making it a must-see destination for experiencing the charm of Chinese calligraphy. It's also very close to the Qingming Shanghe Park, so it's a great place to visit.
Before I went there, I couldn't imagine how much fun it was. After I went there, I felt that I really couldn't leave. I spent a day unknowingly in one wonderful show after another and playing fun games. The food and beverage prices in the scenic area are very affordable. There are drink vending machines and free drinking water. I highly recommend young people to participate in the games, the elderly to feel the joy of their youth, the middle-aged people to experience the passion of their youth, and children to play freely. One ticket is very convenient for unlimited admission for three days. You just need to scan your face. I highly recommend everyone to go.

Teacher Wang Hui's explanations were fantastic. The two-hour visit allowed us to explore the museum's ten most treasured treasures and learn about 800 years of Chu history. It was definitely worth the trip. At Wang Hui's recommendation, we also listened to the chime bells, which was a truly unique experience.
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!

This place is truly worth a visit. Spend a day immersing yourself in the pure, unspoiled culture of the Central Plains, encompassing stories from thousands of years ago, modern times, happening right next to you, and stories you've heard since childhood. The visuals are powerful and impactful, and each theater experience is unique each time you visit. The price may seem high, but it's truly worth it. Many of the plays are touching, and many leave you thinking. 🤔
You can spend a whole day there, and there are places to rest and eat. The area is well-established, and the service is excellent. It's also a great place for photos and check-ins. I wouldn't recommend bringing young children, but it's educationally valuable for those in elementary school. This place embodies youth, history, open-mindedness, impulse, passion, and regret...
It's a place you can spend a whole day in. Due to time constraints, we only bought a ticket for one big show. The rest were many small shows. The performances were all great, and the scenes were great, very suitable for taking pictures. It's still nice to walk around and watch the performances slowly.

It was very hot during the day. The government office is quite large, but it doesn't seem to have much content. There aren't many exhibits, and there isn't much historical content or interesting content. Maybe there will be more programs in the evening...
There are some differences between evening and night tickets. Evening performances are better with the added lighting. Several performances are only held at night, which is more interesting than during the day, and you can interact with the performers. However, there are no e-bikes nearby, and parking is difficult to find. If you go at night, you'll need to either hail a taxi in advance or scan an e-bike and ride there, then lock it temporarily.

Wuhan East Lake Scenic Area, one of China's largest urban lakes, is renowned for its vast expanse, beautiful scenery, and rich cultural heritage, earning it the nickname "Pearl of the River City." Its key features and highlights are as follows:
Key Features: Scenic beauty of lakes and mountains, blending nature and humanity.
The Beauty of a Great Lake: Its vast expanse, misty waters offer stunning views. The winding shoreline, known as the "Ninety-Nine Bends," offers a changing scenery with every step.
Surrounded by Mountains: Encircled by Moshan, Luojiashan, and Chuidishan, the area forms a unique landscape painting. Climbing the mountains offers panoramic views of the entire East Lake.
Cultural Heritage: Embracing Chu culture, Qu Yuan culture, and the Three Kingdoms period, the area boasts relics such as the Chu City and Chu Tiantai in the Moshan Scenic Area, as well as the poet Qu Yuan's footprints.
A Cluster of Classic Tourist Attractions
Tingtao Scenic Area: A long-established core scenic area, home to iconic attractions such as the Xingyin Pavilion and Bitan Fish Watching, offering tranquility and elegance.
Moshan Scenic Area: A fusion of mountains, water, flora, and Chu culture. The Cherry Blossom Garden (one of the world's three largest cherry blossom gardens) and the Lotus Garden are magnificent, with blossoms blooming year-round. Chutian Terrace offers a stunning view overlooking East Lake.
Luoyan Scenic Area: Rich in natural ecology and home to numerous birds, the scenery offers a more rustic feel, perfect for birdwatching and leisure.
Ma'anshan Forest Park: Enjoy barbecues, camping, and hiking, making it a popular destination for family and friends.
The World-Class East Lake Greenway
The "Most Beautiful Greenway": Over 100 kilometers in length, it connects various scenic areas and is a paradise for cycling and hiking. Its exceptional design has won international planning awards.
Unparalleled Lake Views: Most sections of the Greenway run close to the lakeshore, allowing you to cycle or stroll along the route, feeling like you're walking on water, with panoramic views of the lake and mountains.
Complete Amenities:
5A-rated Restrooms: Restrooms along the Greenway are built to high standards, clean and odor-free, and provide tissues, hand sanitizer, and more for an excellent experience.
Convenient Resupply Points: Numerous convenience stores (such as Today and Youjia), vending machines, cafes, and rest stops are located along the route, making it easy to buy water, cold drinks, snacks, and light meals, ensuring you never have to worry about supplies.
A Four-Season Flower Feast
Spring: Cherry blossoms (Moshan Cherry Blossom Garden, in full bloom from March to April), peach blossoms, and azaleas.
Summer: Lotus blossoms (Moshan Lotus Garden, July to August, "the lotus leaves reach the sky, the green is endless").
Autumn: Osmanthus (the fragrance fills the city), chrysanthemums (there's a chrysanthemum exhibition in autumn).
Winter: Plum blossoms (Moshan Plum Garden, one of China's four largest plum gardens, January to March, with its subtle fragrance and sparse shadows).
A wealth of children's attractions
Donghu Ocean Park: Featuring Ocean World, Bird World, and the Grand Circus, it's a children's paradise.
Moshan Slide: The jungle roller coaster is a fun ride, a favorite among families.
Along the greenway, there are numerous free non-powered play facilities, including sandpits, slides, and swings, allowing children to enjoy them at any time.
Sailing and kayaking bases offer families the joy of water sports.
A national fitness and leisure destination
The greenway is a vibrant destination for Wuhan residents seeking jogging, cycling, walking, skateboarding, swimming, and boating.
The lakeside boardwalk and plaza are ideal for practicing Tai Chi, yoga, dancing, and camping.
Take the sightseeing bus, which is a great way to save energy. East Lake is vast and beautiful, truly a famous lake! It's also beautiful and easily accessible by subway. East Lake is divided into several areas, so I recommend following a map. Each area has its own distinct characteristics, allowing you to experience the charm of the Jingchu region. The scenic area is also well-maintained, so it's not too hot on the lake in the summer.

It is well worth a visit, as you can travel back to the Western Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago. Here, you can see the life view that death is as important as life from the layout of the 15 functional rooms of the King of Chu, marvel at the precision of measurement and positioning while walking along two laser-level parallel lines, and see the spatial mechanics of hollowing out half a mountain without collapse, as well as the underground canal system for drainage and moisture prevention.
Very good, very good value for money. I'd stay here again next time. The subway station is 500 meters away, and the high-speed rail station is about a ten-minute taxi ride away. I took a special express train for only 4.8 yuan. I wouldn't bother taking the subway. There's a commercial building downstairs, the room was clean, and the breakfast was really good. There's also a laundry room and a gym.

The tour guide, Miss Zhou Yang, is gentle and beautiful, with solid professional knowledge. She gave a two-hour explanation that contained a lot of useful information. The tour guide explanations launched by Ctrip never disappoint me and are always a new surprise.
The Henan Museum's main exhibition halls comprise 12, arranged by historical dynasty. There are also two special exhibition halls showcasing Chu bronzes and Ming and Qing ceramics, and a stone carving hall dedicated to ancient stone carvings. For first-time visitors, I recommend dedicating a full day to the museum; it's definitely worth it.
