2025 Hubei Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Shennongjia is known as the roof of China for its high mountains and deep valleys. The area is full of ancient trees and exotic flowers, and is known as a green treasure house. Enshi Grand Canyon is famous for its complex and steep terrain. Its magnificence is comparable to the Grand Canyon in the United States.

The Three Gorges Dam in Yichang, Hubei Province is extremely controversial, with both advantages and disadvantages. Although there are analyses of it in books, it is rare to see it in person. The spectacular dam architecture, the elaborately arranged ship locks, the unique cultural history of the reservoir area, the difficulties of the construction project, the benefits it brings, the concerns it causes, and the saying: reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, definitely makes sense and is worth a visit and a deep experience. #travelinspiration#besttravelexperience#overseastravel#i miss you

In the past, I read a line from the poem "The Yellow Crane Tower Farewells Meng Haoran to Guangling" by the poet Li Bai, "An old friend said goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower in the West". When I go to Hubei and Wuhan, I must go to the Yellow Crane Tower. It is a famous scenic spot in Wuhan. Climbing to the top of the Yellow Crane Tower requires a lot of stairs and requires some physical effort to get to the top. However, the beautiful scenery is in front of you and is very exciting. It is definitely worth a visit. #Overseas travel#High-altitude viewing#I’m so hung up#A good place to go in hot summer

Wuhan University is one of the universities with the oldest history in China. It originated from the Self-Strengthening Academy founded by Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Huguang, at the request of the Qing government in 1893. For more than a hundred years, Wuhan University has emphasized and promoted the university spirit of "self-reliance, perseverance, truth-seeking, and innovation." I was fortunate to visit this place. The green environment is very well done, the traditional ancient architectural style is very imposing, and when I entered the university campus, I felt the strong academic atmosphere, which is absolutely suitable for studying. #travelinspiration #overseastravel #i miss you so much #hot summer places

The Hubei Provincial Museum has a collection of more than 240,000 pieces, including nearly 1,000 national first-class cultural relics, each of which is a national treasure and very impressive. Those bronze artifacts, lacquerware, bamboo slips, and the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, have been famous for a long time. Seeing them up close is particularly surprising. The blue and white porcelain vase from the Yuan Dynasty is the treasure of the museum and is worthy of its name. It is a rare opportunity to visit and it is well worth the trip. #Overseas Travel#Explore the Museum#I'm so worried

It is really worth visiting. #MissingNature

Tomato beef brisket, the beef brisket is stewed until soft and tasty, the tomatoes are sweet and sour and appetizing, and the soup is delicious with rice! After eating one bowl, I want another bowl Potato Chips Chilli Chicken, stir-fry the fried chicken with potato chips. The potato chips add a unique crispy taste. The more you eat, the more addictive it is. The chilli chicken is tender and fragrant. Fried bacon with Artemisia selengensis is a homely delicacy on the table of Hunan people. The salty fragrance of bacon and the fragrance of Artemisia selengensis are combined, and it is light with a hint of chewiness. It is definitely worth a try~

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Wudang Mountain 🏞️ Early that morning, my friend and I set out on a journey to Wudang Mountain. Wudang Mountain, this beautiful place located in Hubei Province, is not only a holy place of Taoism, but also the birthplace of Wudang martial arts. When it comes to Wudang Mountain, people will yearn for it and look forward to exploring this place with rich cultural heritage. The scenic area of ​​Wudang Mountain is very vast. We first went to the tourist center at the foot of the mountain to prepare for the whole day's tour. The main attractions are located halfway up the mountain and at the top of the mountain. We need to first take the scenic area’s vehicle to the halfway point, and then we can choose to take the cable car or hike to the top of the mountain. First we came to the famous scenic spot in Wudang Mountain - Taizipo, which is the famous Fuzhen Temple. This is a building with a long history and culture. It has undergone many renovations, and each building contains a profound Taoist cultural heritage. When you enter Fuzhen Temple, you will see the winding Nine-bend Yellow River Wall, which looks like rolling waves. Walk through the second mountain gate and enter a quiet and secluded courtyard, where you can see various buildings built against the rocks and feel the strong cultural atmosphere. Then we came to another famous attraction – Zixiao Palace. Zixiao Palace is located at the foot of the main peak of Wudang Mountain. It is one of the relatively well-preserved royal temple complexes and has a rich historical background and cultural value. Standing at the Zixiao Palace and looking at the surrounding mountains, it feels like you are in a fairyland. During the tour, we also discovered many interesting little surprises, such as winding paths hidden in the mountains and small bridges beside clear streams. Each one of them was amazing. The beauty of Wudang Mountain lies not only in its scenery, but also in its long history and rich cultural heritage. This trip to Wudang Mountain made me deeply feel the charm of ancient Chinese culture and made me full of respect for Wudang Mountain. I look forward to setting foot on this mysterious land again next time and feeling the soul-stirring power again. The meaning of travel is to explore the unknown and discover yourself on the road. I hope everyone will have the opportunity to come to Wudang Mountain and experience its unique charm! 🌄🌿 #Wudangshan #HubeiTourism #ChinaTravel 📍Address: No. 1, Jin Street, Wudang Mountain Tourism Economic Zone, Danjiangkou City, Shiyan City, Hubei Province

My dears, I have lived in Wuhan for many years and I always feel Know it like the back of your hand. It was not until I saw the Huaishan Rock Embankment that I realized that I seemed to have been staying in a "fake Wuhan". It is located in Jinkou, Jiangxia, some distance from the city, but definitely worth the trip. When I stood in front of it, I was instantly shocked. This ancient embankment built in the Ming Dynasty stretches for more than 200 meters and is made entirely of large stone slabs. The stones have been carved by the years and have an uneven surface, but they still reveal an ancient charm. The river water flows slowly, gently lapping against the stone banks, creating gentle ripples. Standing on the shore and closing your eyes, the sounds of wind and water interweave together, as if you can hear the boatmen's songs of the past and see the busy scenes of the dock in the past. In the past, countless ships docked and set sail here, cargo was loaded and unloaded, and the place was bustling with people. But now that the prosperity has ended, only this silent stone embankment remains, upholding the memory of history. In Wuhan, a city full of fireworks and modernity, the Huaishanji stone embankment is like a forgotten pearl, exuding a simple and tranquil atmosphere. It forms a sharp contrast with the skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle of the city, but it coexists in great harmony in the vein of this city. Come here for a walk, feel the warmth of history, and experience the unique charm of Wuhan. Believe me, when you set foot on this land, you will exclaim the same as I did: This is the real Wuhan!

1-8: Dayuwan° (Ming and Qing Dynasty Huizhou-style ancient residential buildings) Tips: Tickets are required! Group purchase and discount prices vary by season, so it's recommended to search on various platforms before going. On-site tickets are full price. Parking is convenient. The experience is not worth the ticket price, but I still recommend it! The buildings have been restored, but there are still a few residents living inside, so you can still see some of the old buildings, which I think is worth it. Maybe it's because I went during the off-season, there weren't many people, and the weather was nice, so it was very relaxing to stroll around the village! Parking is convenient (there is a parking lot in the village, CNY 3/hour) It's worth coming when the weather is nice, as the sun is the best filter. The lake is blue under the sun, and the wide view makes you feel relaxed. In winter, the cruise ships may stop due to the low temperature, but no worries, I'll come back in spring! I took a leisurely stroll around the village, which is a quiet and tidy place. The afternoon sun shines in front of the local people's houses, and the sound of mahjong can be heard inside. I love it! There are many people taking photos at the coffee shop by the lake, and I also recommend the fried chicken shop at the bridge, which has a great atmosphere.

As I prepare to leave, I look back on my year here through the photos I took. I love the spring and fall in Xiangyang, with the gentle weather and beautiful scenery. The summer is too hot and humid, like a steamer, but I spent the longest time here in the summer. Maybe it's because of the walks along the river at sunset with someone special, or the drives we took together, that made this summer so wonderful. The winter is so cold that I, a northerner, spent most of my time at home with the heater on, eating snacks, and watching TV shows. The idle days were a bit boring. I think I like it here. I like the sunsets by the river, the sky lanterns on Beijie Street during festivals, and the mist over the river after a rainstorm, like a fairyland! As a foodie, I found the food here a bit lacking. Because of someone, I fell in love with Xiangyang, but in the end, I don't belong here, and it's hard to fit in.
