We came here during the Spring Festival. The mountain road winds up, the mountains are high and steep, and the trees are lush. In spring and summer, the scenery is lush and green, and it should be more beautiful. Private cars can drive all the way to the foot of Jinding, and then walk 5 kilometers up the mountain road, or take a ten-yuan one-way battery car to the top of the mountain. There is a group of antique buildings on the top of the mountain, which is extraordinary. Climbing up Jinding, you can see all the mountains, and your mind will be broadened. You can also drive private cars to other attractions, such as Zhuangyuantai and Liangwangdong, which can be reached by self-driving in more than ten minutes.
Overall, it's not bad. But it feels like imitating Wudang Mountain, but it doesn't have the beautiful scenery of Wudang Mountain, and the historical heritage is also insufficient.
The scenic spot is quite large and can be visited all year round.
Because there are not only ginkgo trees here, but also Golden Summit, Zhuangyuan Terrace, and Dacien Temple. In summer, there are also waterfalls and Liangwang Cave.

The beauty of East Lake lies in its breathtaking scenery, ecological heritage, and cultural heritage. A stroll through its landscapes feels like stepping into a vibrant landscape painting. Moshan Scenic Area, the core of East Lake, is particularly captivating, surrounded on three sides by water and framed by six winding peaks. It is China's largest Chu culture tourist area, where ancient and magnificent structures such as the Chu City and Chu Tiantai showcase the profound heritage of Jingchu culture. It is also one of the world's three best cherry blossom viewing spots. In spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, their dazzling splendor draws countless visitors. East Lake is the perfect place to relax and immerse yourself in nature and history.
Yesterday, I took the East Lake sightseeing bus for 40 yuan, and tried three routes round trip. My overall experience was disappointing, with two main issues:
1. The driver's service attitude lacked courtesy: Upon arrival, he didn't offer polite guidance, simply urging passengers to "get off the bus," lacking basic service awareness.
2. The speed of the bus affected the sightseeing experience: As a sightseeing bus, it should have slowed down to allow visitors to enjoy the scenery, but it drove too fast, rushing past the scenery and failing to meet the core needs of sightseeing.
I hope to strengthen driver training and adjust the driving pace to ensure that visitors can truly enjoy the sightseeing experience.
The East Lake Falling Wild Goose Scenic Area is beautiful and highly recommended!

Summer in Wuhan Jiefang Park is a season of dense shade, clear water, lotus blossoms, and vibrant life. The highlight is the visual delight and ultimate coolness brought by the vast expanse of blooming lotuses and the pervasive, dense green shade. It's not only a great place to admire natural beauty (especially the lotus blossoms), but also a prime spot for residents seeking a refreshing oasis and diverse leisure activities amidst the scorching summer heat. Strolling through the park, one can experience the poetic beauty of "the lotus blossoms glowing in the sun" and enjoy the comfort of "resting under the shade of a majestic tree."
Dense shade, cool and comfortable:
Towering trees: The park boasts numerous tall trees, such as sycamore, camphor, metasequoia, pond cypress, and ginkgo. These age-old trees, lush and leafy, form a continuous green dome.
Natural Sunshade: The dense canopy effectively blocks the intense summer sun, creating vast shady areas along forest trails, benches, and lawns. The perceived temperature is significantly lower than outside the park, making it a perfect place for residents to escape the summer heat. A stroll through the park brings a cool breeze, instantly relieving the summer heat.
Elegant Waterscapes and the Fragrant Lotus:
Surrounded by a water system: The park boasts numerous lakes, ponds, and winding rivers (such as the "Deep Willows and Sparse Reeds" scenic area that runs through the park), encompassing a vast expanse of water.
Blooming Lotuses (One of the Highlights): Summer is the peak season for viewing the lotus blossoms at Jiefang Park. Vast expanses of lotus blossoms cover the park's waterways, particularly near Gates 2 and 3 and in the central lake area. Vast expanses of lotus leaves blanket the water's surface, while graceful pink and white lotuses bloom in a myriad of shapes and colors, exuding a delicate fragrance that creates a truly iconic summer scene.
Waterfront Landscapes: The water's surface is dotted with small bridges, pavilions, and plank roads (such as the "Flowing Shadow Slope"). Aquatic plants such as weeping willows and reeds are planted along the water's edge, creating swaying reflections and adding a lively and poetic touch. Waterfowl such as wild ducks and egrets play amidst the water, adding to the wild charm.
Lush Greenery and Colorful Scenery:
Lush Lawns: In summer, expansive lawns (such as those near Pigeon Square and the central lawn) radiate a vibrant emerald green, making them popular spots for leisure, picnics, and kite flying.
Flower Borders: The park's meticulously arranged flower beds and borders display a variety of seasonal flowers (such as summer pansies, zinnias, globe amaranths, cannas, and crape myrtles) in vibrant bloom throughout the summer, creating vibrant embellishments between the greenery and waterscape.
Featured Plants: In addition to lotus flowers, summer also features blooming crape myrtles ("crape myrtles"), magnolias (large, white flowers), and albizzia (velvety flowers).
Jiefang Park is a popular summer destination for family outings (including pigeon releases, a children's playground, and lotus viewing). It's also an ideal spot for both tourists and residents to exercise and escape the summer heat.
Wuhan Jiefang Park is an urban oasis full of vitality and humanistic atmosphere. The park is shaded by green trees and flowers bloom in four seasons, especially the tulip exhibition in spring and the chrysanthemum exhibition in autumn. The artificial lake is rippling with blue waves, where you can enjoy the scenery by boating, and the trail along the lake is suitable for walking or jogging. The park retains historical marks such as the Soviet Air Force Volunteer Team Monument, adding a sense of heaviness. Elderly people doing morning exercises, children playing and artists sketching form a harmonious picture, which is an ideal place for citizens to relax.

It's worth the experience. I went with my children. Adults are 120cm tall and children over 1.3cm tall are half price. After boarding the boat, there are many people on the deck and limited chairs. For a better experience, I upgraded the cabin and sat at the bow. There are free snacks and drinks. Adults are 88 and children are half price. The whole journey takes one hour.
I've been on the Two Rivers Night Cruise many times. Sitting on the top of the boat, feeling the gentle river breeze, is so refreshing! The night scene on both sides of the river is dazzling and colorful, it's really beautiful! I highly recommend it!

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, located between Chongqing and Hubei Province in China, are a world-renowned natural wonder and cultural attraction. A vital part of the Yangtze River, the Three Gorges comprise Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge. Their magnificent canyon landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and unique natural scenery attract countless visitors.
First, the natural beauty of the Three Gorges is breathtaking. Rugged cliffs tower along the canyons, while the surging river creates a myriad of unique rock formations and canyon formations. A boat trip through the canyons offers close-up views of the sheer cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and bizarre rock formations, a true testament to nature's unparalleled craftsmanship. Wu Gorge, with its deep canyons and shrouded in mist, creates a fairyland-like experience, a truly captivating experience.
Second, the Three Gorges region boasts a rich cultural history. Once an important settlement for the ancient Ba and Chu peoples, the area has left behind numerous historical sites and legends. The ancient towns and villages along the Three Gorges showcase traditional folk customs and historical relics. The renowned Three Gorges Dam is a marvel of modern engineering, improving navigation and flood control along the Yangtze River while also garnering widespread attention.
Furthermore, the significance of a Three Gorges tour lies not only in admiring the beauty but also in experiencing the fusion of nature and humanity. Whether on a boat trip or exploring the depths of the canyon on foot, one can experience the majesty of nature and the fruit of human ingenuity. Especially in today's climate of heightened environmental awareness, ecological protection of the Three Gorges has become all the more crucial.
In short, the Yangtze River Three Gorges, with its magnificent natural landscape, rich cultural heritage, and modern engineering marvels, is a destination worth exploring for a lifetime. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or a visitor interested in history and culture, the Three Gorges offer unforgettable experiences and profound impressions. It is not only a natural treasure of China but also a treasured global heritage, and its awe-inspiring beauty deserves to be experienced firsthand by everyone.
The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, this magnificent river with thousands of years of history and natural wonders, made me feel endless shock and emotion after I set foot on it. Last year, my husband and I set out from Yichang and started an unforgettable trip to the Three Gorges. Looking back, it is still vivid.
The first time I saw the Three Gorges Dam, I was shocked. Standing on the Tanziling Observation Deck, the "steel dragon" across the river in front of me is magnificent. It is not only a miracle of modern engineering, but also a symbol of national wisdom. During the tour guide's explanation, we learned how the dam tamed the Yangtze River with the design of flood discharge in the middle and power generation on both sides. Watching the cargo ship rise and fall step by step through the five-level ship locks is like witnessing a precise mechanical dance, which makes people sincerely admire the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.
Boarding the ship and entering the Three Gorges, the picture scrolls on both sides slowly unfolded. The majesty of Qutang Gorge is like axe-cut mountains, the beauty of Wu Gorge is like an ink fairyland, and the strange peaks and rocks of Xiling Gorge are like a natural sculpture museum. The boat sailed in the river, the clear water reflected the sky like a mirror, the clouds and mists lingered in the mountains, and the Wushan Goddess Peak loomed, like a fairy in the fairyland, which made people feel the poetic feeling of "the light boat has passed through thousands of mountains". In the depths of the canyon, the echo of the empty valley occasionally came, and it seemed that the cry of ancient apes had traveled through thousands of years. The beauty of nature was breathtaking.
The beauty of the Three Gorges lies not only in the mountains and rivers, but also in the humanities. In the Three Gorges Family, we deeply experienced the unique charm of Bachu culture. The stilt houses were built on the mountains, the fishing boats were swaying by the river, and the local residents showed traditional handicrafts and folk performances in the melodious mountain songs. A bowl of hot Xiajiang tea and a primitive mountain tune made people feel the integration of simple life and natural scenery.
Throughout the journey, nature and humanity blended like twin flowers. The majesty of the Three Gorges Dam contrasted sharply with the elegance of the canyon, while historical legends and folk customs injected soul into the mountains and rivers. Standing on the deck and looking into the distance, the river is surging, and the green mountains on both sides are like dark blue. In a trance, I seem to see the figure of Li Bai reciting poems and the echo of the boatman's call. The long river of history overlaps with the real scene in front of me, which makes people feel excited.
This trip to the Three Gorges made me deeply realize that "the mountains and rivers are so beautiful". The magnificence here is not only a visual feast, but also a baptism of the soul. Whether it is the shock of engineering miracles, the natural beauty, or the heavy cultural heritage, it makes me have a deeper love and awe for this land. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are worthy of being the treasure of Chinese mountains and rivers, and it is worth every traveler to experience it in person.
If you want to find a secret place that can embrace nature and humanity at the same time, the Three Gorges is definitely a must-go place in this life. The beauty here will remain in your eyes and will be engraved in your heart. Five-star recommendation, looking forward to the next reunion!

This area primarily features the Mi family's ancestral hall, along with some stone carvings. It's perfect for those who enjoy history, especially those who appreciate the historical context.
We wandered around for about an hour, but Xiangyang was incredibly hot. 🔥🔥🔥
The price-performance ratio is very high. I think it's not bad to be able to see such a large building for just a few dozen yuan. Of course, the Migong Temple is not large in size, and an hour is enough to appreciate it slowly. It is more suitable as a supplementary attraction. However, I think the building is still very distinctive and suitable for taking the elderly for a walk without getting tired.

Baotong Temple was first built during the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, with a history of more than 1,600 years. It is the oldest existing temple in Wuhan. The temple is built on the mountain, covering an area of about 112,200 square meters, with a construction area of 6,600 square meters. The architectural layout is rigorous and well-proportioned. The main building is a brick-wood structure with a hip roof, brackets and eaves, and painted carved buildings, showing its simplicity, elegance, solemnity and luxury.
Baotong Temple
Also known as Baotong Zen Temple, it is located at No. 549, Wuluo Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. It was first built during the Liu Song period of the Southern Dynasties (420-479), and was originally named Dongshan Temple. It has a history of more than 1,600 years.
Baotong Temple is built on the mountain. The temple covers an area of more than 110,000 square meters.

The Wudang Mountains were filled with fairy air during the rain. It was raining at the foot of the mountain. When we took the cable car to the Golden Summit, the sky cleared up, so we decided to walk from the Golden Summit to the Nanyan along the Mingshen Road, a 4.5-kilometer downhill road that took us three and a half hours. My calves and thighs were sore the next day.
I finally reached the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain today! We took the cable car up, but chose to walk down to see more of the sights. My calves are still shaking; I'm really exhausted.
In summary, the main reason I felt so tiring was because I wasn't familiar with the route. If you're planning to visit Wudang Mountain, here's a plan: first take a bus to Qiongtai, then take the cable car both ways. First, ascend to the Golden Summit. After descending the cable car, take a bus to Nanyan. Ascending uphill, you'll find the Ximei Temple on the left and Tianyi Zhenqing Palace and Longtouxiang on the right. These places are relatively close, so if you don't burn out, you can easily climb them. Then, take the bus down to Zixiao Palace, Xiaoyao Valley, and Taizipo (the bus driver will announce each stop and ask if you want to get off). This way, you can explore the area easily while still not missing out on the main attractions, making the experience much better. (I was tired again today. I only saw many places from afar and couldn’t reach them [covering my face]. According to the introduction, there are 6560 stone steps, which are very steep. The higher you go, the higher the steps are [evil smile])

A large group of 15 people, including the elderly and babies, traveled together on the holiday. It was good, the ecological environment was very good, the boats and sightseeing cars were very convenient, it was really a dream water town. Go early in the morning, there are fewer people, so you don't have to queue.
It's good to bring the elderly and children's wheelchairs together. It's not so crowded during the holidays. It would be better if the exit was expanded. The wheelchair cannot pass the revolving door. The elderly with inconvenient legs and feet cannot be pushed out. I hope it can be improved. I will come again in the future

Tianzhu Mountain has always been a 5A-level scenic spot that I have longed to visit. When you climb up Tianzhu Mountain, you can see the sea of clouds and Tianzhu Peak standing tall in the depths of the sea of clouds. It can really be described as towering into the clouds, like a fairyland on earth, so beautiful that it is highly recommended for everyone to go and experience the wonders of nature in person.
The Dalongwo Cableway of Tianzhu Mountain is located on the west side of Tianzhu Mountain. The cableway there is the closest mountain climbing road to Tianzhu Mountain and the Mysterious Valley. The Dalongwo Cableway is the main cableway with more routes.
