Complete Travel Guide to Jingzhou: A 5,000-Year-Old Ancient City with Chu Culture and Three Kingdoms Charm, Explore Its Rich Heritage and Scenic Beauty If you love the weight of history, the freshness of nature, and crave authentic local flavors, Jingzhou will definitely captivate you! This ancient city, located in the heart of the Jianghan Plain, is traversed by the 483-kilometer-long Yangtze River. Covering 14,100 square kilometers, it holds secrets of a 5,000-year city-building history. Every step tells a story, and every glance reveals charm. 1. Geographic Background: A Millennium Hub on the Jianghan Plain Jingzhou is in south-central Hubei, perfectly positioned at the junction of the north-south corridor, serving as a gateway city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The area is rich in rivers and lakes with flat terrain, known as the "Land of Fish and Rice." The Yangtze River’s "Golden Waterway," along with high-speed rail and highways, form a convenient transportation network. Whether you take a high-speed train directly to Jingzhou Station or drive between scenic spots, travel is smooth. The distinct four seasons make Jingzhou attractive year-round: spring fills the city with floral fragrance, summer offers refreshing lotus ponds, autumn blankets the city in golden ginkgo leaves, and winter brings serene ancient cityscapes. No matter when you visit, you won’t be disappointed. 2. Travel Highlights: Dual Healing of Culture and Nature 1. Under the Ancient City Wall, Touch the Spirit of the Three Kingdoms The ancient city wall of Jingzhou is a must-visit highlight! With over 2,800 years of history and stretching 11.28 kilometers, it is the best-preserved ancient city wall in southern China. Walking on the bricks, the weathered marks under your fingertips evoke the vivid scenes from the 72 chapters of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Climb up Binyang Tower to overlook the shimmering moat encircling the city and imagine the heroic spirit of Guan Yu guarding Jingzhou. Don’t forget to visit the Guandi Temple inside the Old South Gate, the earliest Guan Temple in the country, where the incense smoke seems to carry the sound of galloping horses from the Three Kingdoms era. 2. In the Museum, Decode the Secrets of Chu Culture Jingzhou Museum holds many "national treasure-level" surprises. As one of the first national first-class museums, it houses the exquisite embroidery from the Mashan No.1 Chu tomb, as thin as cicada wings and as brilliant as clouds at sunset, showcasing the craftsmanship of ancient people. There are also various bronze ritual vessels and wooden lacquerware, each reflecting the wisdom of the Chu ancestors who "pioneered through hardships to open up the mountains and forests." Best of all, it’s free to enter. Spend about 1.5 hours wandering slowly, and it’s like traveling back to the capital of the Chu Kingdom over 400 years ago. 3. Between Mountains and Waters, Encounter a Poetic Slow Life Not just history—Jingzhou’s natural scenery is equally enchanting. In the Honghu Wetlands, reeds sway in the breeze, migratory birds occasionally flutter by, and a boat ride through the wetlands fills the air with the fresh scent of aquatic plants. The Weishui Scenic Area offers boating, hiking, and cave exploring, where the harmony of mountains and water instantly relaxes you. In autumn, visit the Qianshan Forest Art Park, where red leaves cover the hills and lakeside camping creates perfect autumn photo opportunities. At Shishou Swan Island’s Milu Deer Park, you can see the "four not alike" deer strolling leisurely up close, offering a deeply soothing experience. 4. Immersive Experiences: Fun Collisions of Past and Present Want to add more ritual to your trip? Dress in a Warring States robe and take photos in the ancient city—Jingzhou is the birthplace of this cultural attire, and every shot is a hit with ancient style. At the Zhang Juzheng Metaverse Art Museum, the 5D immersive show "Repainting Zhang Juzheng" instantly transports you to the Ming Dynasty to experience the legendary life of the prime minister. The digital cultural museum on Jing Street uses technology to recreate the prosperity of ancient Jingzhou, loved by both adults and children. 3. Local Culture: The Deep-Rooted Charm of Jingchu Jingzhou is the birthplace of Chu culture. The 20th generation Chu king established his capital here for 411 years, leaving many unique cultural imprints. On the streets, you might hear the melodious Mashan folk songs or the vigorous Jinghe opera—these are the sounds of old Jingzhou. Craftsmen’s lacquerware, with exquisite patterns and superb craftsmanship, are living fossils of Jingchu culture. Red culture also shines here. Centered around Honghu, the Xiang-E-West Hubei Revolutionary Base produced 67 founding generals. A visit to the Red Army Tree Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Park lets you feel the passionate years of the revolution. Most touching of all is the everyday life vibe of Jingzhou people. The morning market’s Dalian noodles and Yuan Dou Pao glutinous rice smell irresistible. Street vendors bake crispy yet tender Guokui flatbreads on the spot. Evening food stalls fill the air with the aroma of Jingsha softshell turtle and eel strips, making it hard to leave. This is the truest taste of Jingzhou. 4. Travel Tips: Smart Ways to Explore Jingzhou Worry-Free 1. Itinerary (3 days 2 nights is just right) - Day 1: Jingzhou Ancient City → Binyang Tower → Zhang Juzheng Former Residence → Guandi Temple → Dasai Lane Food Street (stay in the city center for easy dining and sightseeing) - Day 2: Jingzhou Museum → Chu King’s Chariot and Horse Array → Jing Street (experience Warring States robe photoshoot and digital cultural museum) - Day 3: Honghu Wetlands / Weishui Scenic Area (choose one) → Return trip 2. Transportation Tips - City attractions are concentrated; take the city sightseeing bus or ride shared electric scooters for flexibility and ease. - For distant spots like Chu King’s Chariot and Horse Array or Honghu, self-driving or tourist shuttle buses are recommended for time-saving convenience. - Jingzhou Shashi Airport is operational; visitors from other cities can fly directly and then take a taxi to the city center. 3. Must-Try Foods - Meat dishes: Jingsha softshell turtle, eel strips, Honghu three-steamed dishes, Jingzhou fish cakes - Snacks: Guokui flatbread, morning noodles, soda rice cakes, Xiao Hu duck - Specialties: Full lotus root feast, pork rib lotus root soup, fresh stir-fried lotus root strips (in autumn, chilled lotus seeds are sweet and refreshing) 4. Accommodation Recommendations - For easy access to the ancient city: Choose Quanfenghuangting Hotel or Yingcheng Yiju Hotel in Jingzhou District, within walking distance to attractions. - For a balance of business district and transportation: Jingzhou R&F Wanda Realm Hotel, Jingwei Hotel, with convenient shopping and dining nearby. - For a resort experience: Honghu Jinwan Hotel, Weishui Holiday Hotel, with lake and mountain views right outside your window. Jingzhou is not a flashy internet-famous city for quick visits. Its beauty requires you to savor slowly—sunbathe under the ancient city wall, read history in the museum, hunt for delicious food in snack streets. Every brick, every bite, every breeze here holds the most touching stories, waiting for you to discover~

During the three days of New Year's Day, the rooms were fully booked and more; the lights shone like daylight, and laughter filled the garden. When the last batch of blessing lanterns slowly rose into the sky, we knew that the warmest scenery of this winter was created by you. Here, we sincerely thank every guest who chose Yuexi Peninsula to celebrate the New Year with us. It is you who truly brought this land to life. During these three days, we saw children completing handmade crafts led by their mothers, couples writing down their first New Year's wishes side by side, and families sitting together in the hot springs sharing steaming lotus root soup... These moments are more touching than any promotion. You are not just tourists but the storytellers and bearers of warmth here. To live up to your expectations, we have devoted ourselves fully: the bowl of lotus root soup by the hot spring, the never-ending songs on stage; the blessing lanterns with handwritten wishes, every patient guidance and service smile. Even with continuous full occupancy, we insist—the towels must be warm, the directions detailed, the smiles genuine, and the intentions heartfelt.

Avoiding Pitfalls 1. Yellow Crane Tower: If you want a high vantage point for views, you can also choose the nearby Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge or Qingchuan Pavilion for better value. But as a landmark, Yellow Crane Tower is still worth visiting. 2. Hubu Alley: It’s crowded with tourists, prices may be higher, and some shops might not have authentic flavors. Choose popular shops for the best food. 3. Wuhan University: Visiting requires advance booking, and holidays or cherry blossom season are very crowded, so plan ahead. If you only want to see cherry blossoms, East Lake Cherry Blossom Park is also beautiful and less crowded. Family, Wuhan’s delicious food and beautiful sights are calling you 👏! Save this guide and take a spontaneous trip to Wuhan! Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments. Wishing everyone a wonderful time in Wuhan 🥳!

The ritual of entering winter is definitely soaking in hot springs! The colder the weather, the more you want to immerse yourself in a pool of complete warmth. At Yuexi Peninsula, a 1.5-hour drive from Wuhan, I found a place where time slows down — Yuehe Linquan Yuexi Hot Spring Homestay. As Hubei's first hot spring healing homestay, it embraces every guest with a minimalist wabi-sabi style, including my furry friend. This space is a silent poem dedicated to winter. Each three-bedroom, two-living-room courtyard has its own independent warm spring pool sourced from underground. In the afternoon, sunlight wanders on the rough walls; at night, soaking in the misty hot spring while gazing at the starry sky, you only hear the sound of flowing water and breathing. Body and mind completely relax at this moment, slowly soaked in warm tranquility. 📝 · About arrival: Driving is the most convenient; navigate to "Yuexi Peninsula," and the rural scenery along the way is already a prelude. · About healing: The homestay focuses on "hot spring healing." It is recommended to soak in the afternoon or evening when the light and shadow are most beautiful. It is a healing ritual specially designed for winter. · Most importantly · Extremely pet-friendly: No extra cleaning fee for pets in the room! Being able to run with your dog in the courtyard and soak together in the hot spring creates an incredibly precious shared memory. Soak into a stolen moment of time. Here, warmth and companionship are never let down.

Winter in Keliwan hides a “few people, stunning scenery” surprise — no crowded peak season, just cobblestone paths with light mist, hot pot paired with intangible cultural heritage, excellent value for money, and even those who fear the cold can happily check in! 🚗 Transportation: A joy for self-drivers, 37 kilometers direct Starting from Jingzhou city, drive along the provincial road for about an hour. The road is smooth enough to hum along, much more convenient than the old “river boat ride.” There is free parking at the village entrance, so once you park, you can start the “slow stroll mode” without rushing for buses—super free and easy~ 🌟 Must-Do: Winter-exclusive activities, warm and photogenic 1. Yangliu River Boat Tour: Ride a black-awning boat through the “Ninety-nine Bends.” The water is calm in winter, egrets fly low, and there are no crowds to photobomb—every shot looks like an ink-wash painting of a water town. The boatman also shares old stories about “Xiongyu Du Wharf,” much more interesting than reading a guide. 2. Intangible Cultural Heritage + Folk Customs Double Experience: If lucky, you might witness Hui ethnic group’s year-end pig slaughtering rituals, dragon and lion dances—lively and full of festive atmosphere; don’t miss the evening “Iron Flower” show at Hulu Island, where 1600℃ molten iron sprays into the night sky, reflecting on river lanterns, so stunning your phone might overheat from filming (check with the village committee for showtimes, mostly on winter weekends). 3. Slow Walk in the Ancient Village: Walk on century-old cobblestone streets along Danfeng Chaoyang Street, with gray walls and blue tiles under the winter sun. Visit “Bai Bu San Gong Bridge” and “Jia Shang Jin Pen” ruins from the “Eight Scenic Spots of Keli,” quiet and perfect for daydreaming and photos; listen to stories of the “Water Red Guard” at the village history museum, blending red revolutionary spirit with water town charm, packed with knowledge. 4. Bonus Nearby Spot: A 20-minute drive to Honghu Wetlands, where you can see rare migratory birds flying in winter—nature lovers will be thrilled. 🍲 Food: Stomping cold feet? A pot of warmth to the heart - Must-try hot pot: Gong’an beef three delicacies stew is tender and flavorful, claypot fish head is incredibly fresh, paired with local lotus root soup, lotus root powder absorbs the broth, drinking it warms you all over. - Hui ethnic flavor: Beef meatballs at the village market are springy and juicy, made fresh and sold on the spot, ten times tastier than supermarket frozen versions, and great for packing as gifts. - Snack surprise: Hot rice dumplings and crispy Gong’an guokui (flatbread), perfect for a quick warm snack while strolling, great value for money. 🏡 Accommodation: Homestays with surprises, so warm you won’t want to go out Choose village-run waterside homestays, some with fire pits or heating. Chat around the stove at night with the Yangliu River night view overhead, more authentic than hotels. Prices are around a hundred yuan, some include breakfast with freshly ground soy milk and rice cakes, bringing a huge sense of happiness. ❗ Tips: Avoid pitfalls when traveling in winter 1. Clothing: Jingzhou winters are damp and cold, wear down jackets + thermal underwear, and non-slip shoes (cobblestones can be slippery when wet). 2. Duration: Recommended 1-2 days, staying one night lets you experience “water town morning mist” and “starry bonfire,” more leisurely without rushing. 3. Hidden perks: Winter village markets offer discounts on Honghu sauce duck and lotus root powder, cheaper than peak season, perfect for gifts or personal enjoyment. Winter in Keliwan is synonymous with “slowing down to enjoy life”—when tired of walking, eat hot pot; after admiring intangible cultural heritage, no need to squeeze or rush. This is the right way to travel in winter~

Who says wetlands in winter are a "cold palace"? Honghu insists on turning winter into a healing experience with tens of thousands of migratory birds and heartwarming delicacies! This "birdwatching + lotus eating" double buff guide helps you avoid detours and precisely capture happiness~ Core Activity: Have a "winter date" with migratory birds - Must-visit spot: The over 1,000-meter birdwatching boardwalk in the core area of Yangchai Lake, known as the "bird runway show"—Great Egrets use their long beaks to "tap the water for food," Baer's Pochards (the "giant pandas" of birds) dive and dance underwater, Oriental White Storks occasionally do a "rumba," and the dense flocks of wild ducks resemble floating withered lotus pods, creating a breathtaking scene that leaves you speechless. - Birdwatching Tips: Arrive before 8 AM for the best experience; migratory birds are busy feeding and very active; bring your own binoculars, or rare birds will only be "far away on the horizon"; wear plain-colored clothes and avoid loud noises, or the "bird celebrities" will collectively boycott and fly away. - Bonus: Take a speedboat from Honghu Tourism Port to tour the lake, with reeds swaying in the wind and flocks of geese flying in formation over the water blending with the sky, instantly understanding the artistic conception of "Honghu waves rolling over waves."

Transportation and Accommodation: Worry-free and easy on your legs - Transportation: A 2-hour drive from Jingzhou city center; Yichang offers passenger buses to Honghu Bus Station, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the scenic area; inside the park, rely on walking and boat rides—no fatigue, just leisurely exploration. - Accommodation: For a laid-back stay, choose Honghu Jinwan Hotel, right at the scenic area entrance; for romance, go to Yuexi Peninsula Hot Spring Resort Hotel—after exploring the wetland, soak in the hot springs and instantly turn the cold winter into a warm spring. Practical Information - Opening hours: 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM; tickets cost 70 RMB + 40 RMB for boat rides; no reservation needed, just go. - Dress code: It’s windy by the lake, wear a windproof jacket and sneakers, plus a hat and gloves to stay warm without missing out on great photos. - Inquiry phone: 0716-3182888, call directly if you have questions—more reliable than navigation.

You will understand— the most beautiful scenery is not on the mountaintop, but in the ripples on the lake surface, in a steaming pot of lotus root soup, in a loud fisher song. ❤️ 📢 Interaction phrases + traffic secrets 🔗 📌 Save this guide, copy it for your next short trip! 🔔 Follow me to discover 100 "disappearing original ecological secrets of China"! 🔄 Share with that friend who says "Hubei is boring": see, this is the real soul of the Jianghan Plain!
