For photography enthusiasts, when you're in Wuhan, you must visit Luoyan Island! It's an excellent photography spot, very suitable for taking pictures, and the entrance fee is not expensive. Therefore, you will also see many couples taking wedding photos on Luoyan Island, feeling the sweetness of love. Next, let's talk about how to enjoy Luoyan Island. Follow my steps! Step Drive to the north gate of the Luoyan scenic area, purchase a ticket, and start your visit. There are several parking lots near the north gate, but not at the main entrance, about a 5-minute walk. The adult ticket is 13 yuan, and the Luoyan scenery is worth the price! Step After entering the scenic area from the north gate, walk along the shaded road to the lakeside plank road, then walk to the most beautiful pebble beach on Luoyan Island. The trees along the shaded road are ancient and majestic, with deep roots, very spectacular. Along the lakeside plank road, you can enjoy the reeds, juvenile dragonflies, and the 'patrol' of little ducks. The bird-watching area is my favorite part of the entire scenic area, with clear blue water and pebbles connecting the shore to the water surface, providing a vast visual experience. The sporadic, well-designed stone sculptures on the shore and the scene of leaves and branches swaying in the wind inspire endless imagination; at this moment, one just wants to empty their mind and immerse themselves in this scene. We laid out a picnic mat here and quietly enjoyed this view for a very long time. Step After playing on the pebble beach, continue to visit the Nine-Turn Bridge and the bamboo raft area. The Nine-Turn Bridge is great for taking photos, and the scenic area periodically activates mist spraying, making it feel like a fairyland amidst the mountains and forests. The bamboo rafts are fixed on the shore, with good safety, and are a free photo spot for tourists, offering the charm of the water towns of the south. Step Continuing forward, you will reach the last viewing points, the Yan Ying Pavilion and the rope bridge. These two spots are right next to the bamboo rafts and can be viewed together. Opposite the rope bridge are the Die Shi Guan Tao and Qing Feng Pavilion, which are similar to the pebble beach and Yan Ying Pavilion; some spots are similar, and you can choose on your own. Due to the hot weather, we ended our trip after experiencing the rope bridge. Step After finishing the tour at the rope bridge, there's no need to go back the same way. According to the signs, you can quickly return to the north gate, about a 15 to 20-minute walk. The entire tour route is an arc, so there's no need to take a 'return trip'. Tips: 1. The scenic area is very suitable for photography and is also a famous wedding photography base. It is recommended to wear dresses for better photos. 2. During the hot summer, it's important to protect yourself from the sun to avoid sunburn. You can also bring some sprays to prevent mosquito bites, as there are more mosquitoes due to the abundance of trees and flowers 3. The scenic area is mainly accessible by walking, so it's recommended to travel light. Just bring some drinks. Water and supplies are available for purchase at the rope bridge area, but they are a bit more expensive.

"With clear mountains, green waters, and verdant bamboo leaves, the bamboo raft moves slowly, intoxicating the tourists." There's no need to go to the south of the Yangtze River; Wuhan's Donghu Luoyan Scenic Area can fulfill all the fantasies about the south. The Luoyan Scenic Area in sunny weather and in rainy weather each has its own beauty. Although the Luoyan Scenic Area is relatively remote and is a separately charged attraction within the Donghu Scenic Area, it is very photogenic. If you have enough time, it is highly recommended to check it out. ☘️Practical Guide: 🎫Ticket: 13 ⌚️Opening Hours: 8:00-18:00 📍Location: Luoyan Scenic Area, Hongshan District 🚗Transportation: Exit A of Changqian Station on Metro Line 5, take a taxi to the north gate of Donghu Luoyan Scenic Area ✅Recommended Route: From Luoyan North Gate ➡️ Nine-Turn Bridge ➡️ Bamboo Raft ➡️ Yanzhou Rope Bridge ➡️ Die Shi Guan Tao Sunset Viewing ➡️ Exit from the North Gate 📷Recommended Photo Spots: 1️⃣Bamboo Raft Feels like a little Jiangnan, especially suitable for ancient-style dressing 👗Recommended Outfits: Hanfu, Mamian skirt 2️⃣Nine-Turn Bridge Misty and ethereal, the winding trestle bridge is built over the water, with redwoods rising from the bottom to the clouds, and the forest shrouded in mist, like a dream. ⚠️Mist sprays every 5 minutes, lasting about 5 minutes each time, stops at 17:00 3️⃣Yanzhou Rope Bridge A suspension bridge crossing Donghu 4️⃣Die Shi Guan Tao A beautiful spot to watch the sunset, you can use the rocks as a frame, with the sparkling lake behind, and the atmosphere is full when the sun sets. ❤️Kind Tips: Wearing white clothes looks better in photos

The boat ride takes about 20 minutes, 40 for a single trip, 70 for a round trip. If you drive to the Luoyan Scenic Area, you can choose the round trip

Luo Yan Scenic Area is an important part of Wuhan East Lake Scenic Area, located on the east bank of East Lake, a national 5A-level scenic spot. The scenic area is not large, with a total area of 8.16 square kilometers, of which the land area is only 3.46 square kilometers, and the water area occupies 4.7 square kilometers. It takes 1-2 hours to tour the entire scenic area. Since 2000, the scenic area has successively built eight major landscapes such as Qinghe Ancient Bridge, Magpie Bridge Meeting, Yan Zhou Cable Bridge, Luzhou Ancient Ferry, Zhao's Garden, Ancient Tree Wonder, Yan Xi Ping Sha, Luzhou Luo Yan, mainly featuring lakeside wetlands, wetland bird watching and ancient tree communities. The tall, dense and straight water fir by the lake grows in the water. In the deep autumn, the water fir is all red. Is the water of East Lake wine, making her drunk? A plank road has been built in this water forest, and nozzles are installed in the hidden places of the bridge, intermittently spraying mist. Whenever the mist sprays out, a scene of misty mist is formed on the water under the forest. Stepping on the plank road, the feeling of being like a fairy is born. It is worth mentioning that there is also a squirrel paradise in the scenic area, which is a paradise for children. There are many peculiarly shaped, challenging but very safe amusement facilities, all of which are free! There is also a rose garden and a magpie bridge with the theme of love, and the scenery is very beautiful. It is said that every winter, the scenic area will attract a large number of migratory birds to overwinter, and a large number of cormorants nest on the pond fir on the island, which is very spectacular. Luo Yan Scenic Area is also known as Wuhan's most primitive wetland park and the most beautiful wedding photography base. The sparkling lake and the intoxicating forest in autumn reflect each other, making people feel relaxed and happy. The swaying willow branches here, the flying catkins of reeds, and the scenery of the remaining lotus on the lakeside, make people can't help but feel poetic, 'Don't say that there are few fresh crucian carp in late autumn, the cold river has more green raincoats' 'The garden master don't break the autumn lotus, leave it to the fish to cover the sunset' The verses float in my mind. Must-visit photo spots: Nine Curves Bridge (there will be water mist before five o'clock), water bamboo raft (feeling of Jiangnan Water Village and Little Guilin), Stacked Stone Guantao (seaside déjà vu) The above locations are near the north gate, after entering from the north gate, you can see the word love engraved on the stele, and you can reach it by walking along the lake on the right hand side (the pure color dress for taking pictures is very good, white, green or ancient style clothing).

Wuhan is a city with historical memory, worth savoring. The traces of time flow are deposited in buildings of various styles, and the story of urban changes is engraved in the peaceful life of every brick and tile. ✅Must check-in: 1️⃣Yellow Crane Tower: There is a red wall at the C entrance of the Yellow Crane Tower, which is quite beautiful both during the day and at night when the lights are on from 7-9 pm. 2️⃣Qigu Temple: The European-style architecture is super photogenic! 3️⃣Qili Huangpo Road: A very artistic street, suitable for taking photos and checking in. 4️⃣Donghu Luoyan Scenic Area: The ticket is 13, and the photos are very good! 5️⃣Qintai Art Museum: If you have time, you must go, it's too beautiful～ 6️⃣Budong Lake: The scenic area is divided into several areas, which are quite suitable for taking pictures.

But don't think about going to the Yellow Crane Tower early in the morning! Pay attention to the opening hours.

The East Lake Falling Geese Scenic Area is an important part of the national 5A East Lake Scenic Area. It is bordered by the Baima Scenic Area to the north, the Moshan Scenic Area to the south across the lake, and the Qingwang Road to the east. The total area is 10.24 square kilometers, including 5.92 square kilometers of land and 4.32 square kilometers of water.

The scenic area is lush with vegetation, wind and waves, intertwined ports, and numerous water birds. The unique natural scenery of the East Lake Scenic Area has created its beautiful ecological environment and landscape. At the same time, a group of sculptures and buildings reflecting the history of Chu folk culture have been built in the park, allowing you to enter the historical corridor while appreciating the charming scenery and returning to nature, and appreciate the classics of Chu folk culture. The Bird Language Forest in the Falling Geese Scenic Area is a must-visit place for bird watching in Wuhan in winter. It has become a paradise for cormorants. Hundreds of cormorants perch on the pond cypress, unfolding a scroll with ink texture. The figure of the cormorant is like a little ink, dyeing the winter of East Lake.

West River Moon Each tree trunk stands tall, with layers of needle branches escorting. Egrets accompany rainbows to fly around, reproducing the scene of Chu Phoenix. Looking far away from the Qinghe Bridge, it seems like the battlefield of Ao Dou. Yang Shu's one arrow determines the court, and the Spring and Autumn Period seals the gods in one battle. In the early winter, the entire East Lake Scenic Area is like a overturned palette. Under the clear sky, the forests are all dyed, migratory birds are flying, the lake is clear and the bottom is visible, reflecting all the beautiful scenery. Coinciding with the first anniversary of the 14th Conference of the Parties to the "Wetland Convention", East Lake has once again reached a new height of beauty, waiting for you to check in. East Lake is not only the green heart of the city for Wuhan people, but also an ecological paradise for animals. Large areas of vegetation and wetlands attract countless wintering migratory birds to inhabit here. From November to April of the following year is the bird watching season of East Lake, and it has become a custom for Wuhan people to watch birds in East Lake in winter. If you want to choose a bird watching spot in East Lake, it must be the Luoyan Scenic Area. During the bird watching season, the "Walking Chess·Bird Island" in the Luoyan Scenic Area will welcome groups of migratory birds. Thousands of birds soar above the water surface, writing poetry with their wings on the water surface. Here, the picture of birds and people living in harmony has become a daily routine.
