There is a 600-year-old eternal lamp in the hall. On a clear day, you can see a 360-degree sea of clouds and sunrise. (Cash is required for drawing lots, CNY 30/lot💰) 2️⃣Taizipo The red walls built along the mountain on the ancient road are winding and tall, like waves, with varying heights. (You can take more photos here, as you may be too tired to take photos later on🧗) 3️⃣Nanyan Palace The palace is built on a cliff, and it is said that Lü Dongbin once practiced Taoism here. There is a stone carving protruding from the cliff, which is commonly known as the "Dragon Head Incense." (Nanyan Scenic Area is still under renovation until December 31, only the main hall can be visited) 4️⃣Zixiao Palace A Ming Dynasty palace building covering an area of 274,000 square meters. The surrounding mountains naturally form a treasure chair with two dragons playing with a pearl, which was named "Zixiao Blessed Land" by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty.

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

Those who love water and mountains must listen to this. Because today I will review Xiandaohu, located in Hubei Province, China. This place is very beautiful. It is a very beautiful view of the river and mountains. It is considered the Pearl of Hubei. It is very worthwhile to visit. I would like to recommend that those who have plans in the future, those who have plans to travel to Hubei Province in the central part of China must stop by Xiandaohu. It is really worth visiting. #MissingNature

The Yellow Crane Tower, the first of the four famous buildings in China, has been destroyed for a long time in history and its structure has changed several times. To come to a city, it is necessary to go to the place where it can best represent the city. It may be regrettable to go, but it will be regrettable not to go, the photos record some sincere light and shadow, and there is a memory of the ancient peoples love and a flying crane. Tenderness!

#AugustDestinations2025 #Hubei #Suizhou #CountryGarden #DaCi'enTemple The Country Garden Phoenix Hotel in Suizhou is comfortable and quiet, right next to the Country Garden, and a fantastic location. 👍 The DaCi'enTemple in Suizhou is also majestic and solemn. I highly recommend the night view of Mochou Village, which is truly worth seeing. The reflections of the lake and the ancient bridge are truly magical. Dahongshan Scenic Area, with the Golden Summit Buddha's feet visible beyond, and Huangxian Cave, are truly unique natural monuments. Nature is truly magical. The Zongheng Hotel is also a fantastic hotel. 👍 #ZonghengHotel #MochouVillage #PhoenixHotel

The weather in Wuhan these days is really great, sunny every day, very comfortable😍, but I have to say, Wuhan is really big, without a plan you’ll definitely take detours😅😅 ㅤ (🌹 My friend and I are both introverts and don’t want to join group tours with strangers, so we chose a private custom tour. The route was arranged reasonably based on our needs and interests, including 🎫, 🚗, attractions, tickets, and restaurants, plus private transfers. The whole trip was relaxed and enjoyable with no extra expenses, truly pure leisure) ㅤ ✨🎉 Here’s my itinerary for my sisters to see: Day ❶: Gude Temple → Lihuangpi Road → Xian’an Lane → Jianghan Road → Hankou Riverside Park ✅ Mainly exploring the Hankou area, 🏛 visiting Wuhan’s historical and cultural buildings Day ❷: Tanhualin → Liangdao Street → Yellow Crane Tower → Yangtze River Bridge → Zhonghua Road Wharf ✅ Mainly exploring the Wuchang area, 🍜 enjoying food, wandering alleys, and crossing the river! Day ❸: Hubei Museum of Art → Hubei Provincial Museum → East Lake → Wuhan University → Lingbo Gate ✅ Mainly exploring the East Lake area 🌳, a relaxing day tour to enjoy the natural scenery of the City of a Thousand Lakes 🏞 ㅤ 🎈 Travel tips: ① Wear comfortable shoes, as walking time around East Lake is long. 👟 ② East Lake is large; if the weather is good, visit the Tingtao Scenic Area. 🌞 ③ No drinking water allowed inside the Hubei Museum of Art ④ Don’t buy souvenirs on Hubu Street; it’s cheaper and negotiable on Wuhan University campus. 💸 ⑤ Wuhan has many riverside parks; choose one to visit. 🏖 ⑥ Allow 30 minutes for ferry queue; after boarding, go to the railing on the second floor. 🚢 ⑦ Not recommended to go to Hubu Alley; Baosheng Road is better. ❌ ⑧ Don’t visit exhibition halls on Mondays; most are closed. 📅 ⑨ Gude Temple closes early; dress appropriately. 👗 ㅤ

#chinatravel Exploring Wuhan Town in Hubei was a lively and colorful experience. The streets are full of energy, with a mix of modern shops, traditional markets, and local eateries offering tempting aromas at every turn. I enjoyed wandering along the busy lanes, spotting old buildings with intricate details that tell stories of the city’s past. The snack stalls are a highlight, serving local favorites like hot dry noodles and spicy duck neck, which are must tries if you want a taste of authentic Wuhan flavors. In between the hustle and bustle, there are peaceful spots such as riverside promenades where you can slow down and enjoy the view. The blend of history, culture, and everyday life makes Wuhan Town feel both vibrant and welcoming. Whether you are here to shop, eat, or simply soak in the local vibe, it is a place that leaves you with lasting memories of Hubei’s charm.

#chinatravel Located along the mysterious 31°N latitude, Shennongjia Nature Reserve is a land of legends—where Shennong is said to have tasted hundreds of herbs and where wildman sightings are whispered about. This UNESCO-listed wonder offers lush forests, cool mountain air, and breathtaking scenery, making it perfect for a 3-day, 2-night summer escape. Travelers can fly in or take a high-speed train to either Shennongjia or the closer Xingshan Station (recommended). From Xingshan, it’s about an hour by bus to Muyu Town (25 RMB), while airport transfers cost around 50 RMB. Whether you’re chasing myths or simply soaking in nature, Shennongjia is a refreshing journey into the wild.

#chinatravel Taking a cruise down the Yangtze River is one of those slow travel experiences that just hits different. You’re not rushing anywhere, it’s all about soaking in the epic views while the boat glides through mountains, gorges and little riverside towns. Most cruises go through places like Hubei and Chongqing, and the landscapes are seriously next level. You’ll see cliffs rising straight out of the water, misty peaks, and old temples tucked into hillsides. Sometimes it feels like a scene from a movie. Plus, the vibe on the boat is super relaxed. Grab a drink, chill on the deck, and just watch the scenery float by. There are little stops along the way too, so you can hop off, explore a bit, then get back to cruising. It’s not action packed, but that’s kind of the point. Just easy days, good views and peaceful river energy. Perfect if you want to unplug and let China’s landscape do the talking.

When traveling with kids, what I feared most was hassle and exhaustion, and even carefully planned itineraries could have pitfalls. This time, I took my child to Enshi, Yichang, and Shennongjia, and the whole trip was easy and fun. I can't help but share my unique kid-friendly route with other moms! ㅤ 💖 Exclusive Companionship, Intimate Bond In the past, group tours were always rushed, with little time to interact with my child. This time, I planned it myself, and the entire trip was exclusive time for me and my child. While hiking in Shennongjia, he held my hand tightly, curiously observed the wild flowers and plants by the roadside, and chattered non-stop with questions. Every interaction made me feel incredibly happy. Without strangers disturbing us, the full devotion to companionship made our parent-child relationship even closer. ㅤ ⏰ Flexible Itinerary, Travel at Your Own Pace When traveling with kids, their routine is the top priority. While taking a boat trip through the Three Gorges in Yichang, my child was too excited the night before and didn't sleep well, so he woke up late. We temporarily adjusted our schedule, had a leisurely breakfast, and then set off, without feeling rushed. Every day, we played for as long as we wanted, and when tired, we found a quiet place to rest. This kind of travel, where you freely control the pace, is so comfortable. ㅤ 🚗 Diverse Transportation, Peace of Mind for the Whole Family Transportation is also crucial! The roads there are not easy to drive on. For a small family of 2-3 people, chartering a 5-seater economy car allows flexible travel through city streets and scenic area paths. It's quite reassuring. ㅤ 🌟 Featured Itinerary Reference Enshi Ethnic Charm Three-Day Tour Day 1: Enshi City - Pengjiazhai (admire the stilt house clusters, experience the charm of Tujia architecture) - Eat Shefan (a traditional Tujia dish) - Stay in a characteristic B&B Day 2: Wujiatai Tea Garden (experience tea picking and making, taste fresh green tea) - Visit Tusi City to learn about Tusi culture Day 3: Enshi Dixingu (walk the glass skywalk, explore unique karst landforms) - Return trip Yichang Landscape Wonders Two-Day Tour Day 1: Yichang - Three Gorges Waterfall (pass through "Water Curtain Cave", feel the magnificent water flow) - Taste Liangxia (a local dessert) Day 2: Qingjiang Fangshan (stroll along the suspended walkway, admire strange peaks and rocks) - In the afternoon, return to the city to explore the ancient streets Shennongjia Nature Exploration Three-Day Tour Day 1: Muyu Town - Guanmenshan (see rare animals and plants, visit the Nature Museum) - Stay in a forest hotel Day 2: Tianyan Scenic Area (walk the Rainbow Bridge, enjoy the beauty of the primeval forest) - Stargazing at night Day 3: Dajiuhu (enjoy the misty wetland scenery in the morning, watch black swans play) - Return trip Moms, don't hesitate!

Wudang Mountain Travel Guide: A Lazy Person's Guide to Spiritual Cultivation As an urban couch potato who gets winded climbing stairs for three minutes, I actually went to Wudang Mountain for spiritual cultivation! It proves that as long as you plan well, even a lazy person can enjoy this Taoist holy land. Transportation: I recommend taking the high-speed train to Wudangshan West Station. From there, a taxi to the scenic area costs about CNY 30. Don't be like me and try to save money by taking the bus. I almost threw up my breakfast on the winding mountain road. Tickets: Peak season tickets are CNY 245, including the sightseeing bus, and off-season tickets are CNY 190. I recommend buying tickets with the bus, or you'll be ready for ascension by the time you reach Zixiao Palace. Student discounts are half price, so remember to bring your student ID. You can use the money you save to buy a Golden Summit ice cream to calm your nerves. Must-See Attractions: 1. Golden Summit: 1,612m above sea level, the cable car costs CNY 80. I chose to hike, but I started contemplating the meaning of life halfway up. I recommend bringing some snacks. The aunties selling water on the way are even better at bargaining than the Shaolin monks. 2. Zixiao Palace: The ancestral home of Taoism, with lots of incense. Fortune telling costs CNY 20, but the interpretation is free. I drew "Great Luck," but then I fell on my way down the mountain. The Taoist priest said it was helping me eliminate bad karma... 3. Nanyan Palace: A palace on a cliff with a dragon-head incense burner extending out over the cliff. It is said that Taoists used to step on the cliff to offer incense. Now there are railings, which is great news for cowards! Food: 1. Taoist Vegetarian Meal: CNY 30 per person, all vegetarian dishes but surprisingly delicious. Especially the "vegetarian Dongpo pork," which uses bean products to create the texture of meat. After eating it, I even wanted to become a monk. 2. Wudang Taoist Tea: CNY 50 per pot. I couldn't taste anything special, but taking photos and posting them on social media makes you look like you're living a healthy life. 3. Farmhouse Restaurants at the Foot of the Mountain: The local chicken soup is a must-order. The owner said the chickens are raised on Chinese herbal medicine, so it's no wonder they can stay up later than I can. Accommodation Recommendations: The hotels on the mountain are average but convenient for watching the sunrise, and the price is CNY 300+. I stayed in a homestay at the foot of the mountain for CNY 150. The owner even gave me a homemade map, although it looked like a treasure map. Tips to Avoid Pitfalls: 1. Don't trust "free tour guides." They will always take you to buy expensive incense. 2. Don't try to climb the mountain on rainy days. The stone slabs are so slippery that they can send you straight to see the Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng. 3. You have to wait in line to take photos at the Golden Summit. I recommend going at 6am to pretend you're very diligent. Finally, a reminder: Wear comfortable shoes!

I Froze Like a Dog in Tenglong Cave, but I Captured Unforgettable and Fantastic Blockbusters "Standing at the entrance of Tenglong Cave, I felt as if I was being swallowed into the belly of an ancient beast! The 16℃ cold wind instantly penetrated my clothes, the thermometer on my phone screen went crazy, and the scene in front of me made me dumbfounded—the 150-meter-wide cave entrance was like a gate to another world split open by a god, and the waterfall roared into the center of the earth like a white dragon. Is this a cave? It's clearly a mythical scene from the Classic of Mountains and Seas! Even more magical is that when I stumbled into the middle cave, hundreds of laser beams suddenly exploded from the dome, and the silver ornaments of the Tujia girls drew meteor-like trajectories in the darkness... This 150 RMB ticket was so worth it that I wanted to renew it on the spot!" I. Subverting Perceptions of Cave Wonders: Earth's "Memory Palace" 1. The Visual Violence of Wolong Swallowing the River I was given a blow before I even entered the cave! During the rainy season, the flow rate of the Wolong Swallowing the River Waterfall is comparable to 3,000 bottles of mineral water pouring down at the same time, and the water mist can wet the camera lens 50 meters away. Geography enthusiasts must see: hidden below the waterfall is the world's rare "siphon karst cave" structure, which will form a giant vortex with a diameter of 20 meters during the flood season (safety reminder: the plank road will be closed during the rainy season, don't learn from online celebrities and climb over the railing). 2. The Shock of Digitalization Dome height: enough for 10 Boeing 747s to stack on top of each other (highest point is 234 meters) Cave hall area: can fit 7 standard football fields, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has done acoustic experiments here—the clapping echo lasts for 12 seconds Underground river length: 58.8 km has been explored, the water temperature is constant at 16℃ (legend has it that there are blind fish, but it depends on luck) Fun fact: The calcified layer of the "White Jade Dome" in the cave is like a layered cake, and under the light, it will show geological rings similar to the dinosaur era, which is 10,000 times more real than the LED top of a planetarium! II. Nanny-level Itinerary Breakdown (Including Hidden Gameplay) Morning Section (7:30–12:00) 7:30 "Huangjia Doupi" in Lichuan City must be eaten! Recommended preserved meat bean curd + glutinous rice balls in rice wine, the boss will give you a self-made cave map (hand-drawn version is super cool) 8:30 Choose the right seat on the scenic shuttle bus! You can capture the big bend of the Qingjiang River when passing the "Lianyu Gorge" bend, turn on the 0.5x wide angle on your phone 9:00 It is recommended to walk the "Laoyingyan" path for hiking (not marked by the visitor center). You will encounter wild macaque groups along the way. The zipper of your backpack must be fastened 10:30 Cave Exploration TIP: Bring a strong flashlight! Behind the "Bronze Sacred Tree" stalagmite group, there is an undeveloped gap (you need to crawl forward for 3 meters) to see rare calcite flower clusters Afternoon Section (13:00–17:00) 13:00 The front row seats of the "Yishui Lichuan" performance have mysteries—the center of the 5th row is the best viewing angle for laser projection, and the Tujia brothers will randomly pull the audience to dance "Rou Lian Xiang" 15:30 Bring a tripod to the "Dixin Gorge" in the back cave! The trilobite fossils on the rock wall must be illuminated obliquely with cold light to appear (the staff has hidden explanation services) 16:00 "Rainbow Mystery" at the underground river exit: On a sunny afternoon from 3–4pm, water mist refraction will form a double rainbow bridge. You need to report in advance if you want to fly a drone III. Blood and Tears Summary of Avoiding Pitfalls 1. Quantum Mechanics of Dressing Inner layer of quick-drying clothes + middle layer of fleece + outer layer of windbreaker is the king, the dripping water in the cave is like a random blind box—I have seen the tragedy of a young lady wearing Hanfu with her skirt frozen Choose non-slip stream tracing shoes! A certain "cave exploration shoe" produced by a military factory is more reliable than hiking shoes (the moss on the bottom of the cave is comparable to an ice rink) 2. The Dark Art of Photography When the laser show turns off all the lights, use the long exposure of your mobile phone to capture the "ghost light track" (the actual measurement effect of Huawei P60 is better than SLR) The "White Jade Dome" in the middle cave should be photographed in RAW format, and the shadows can be pulled up in the later stage to restore the iron mineral color bands in the rock layer 3. Hidden Benefits List The first 100 tourists every day can receive karst cave postcards (the postal counter is hidden behind the water curtain cinema) You can get an 8% discount on sour soup fish at the "Bamanzi" restaurant in Lichuan with your ticket. The code is "Qinglong Comes Out of the Water" IV. The Cave Philosophy of Food Don't eat the 35 RMB box lunch in the cave! Detour to "Yiquan Renjia" in Wangying Town on the way back and order a pot of yellow spicy diced fish raised with underground river spring water. The boss will show off his unique skill—putting the fish slices into the iced cave water and they will curl up instantly, dipping them in the wood ginger oil dish, so fresh that your head goes numb! Ultimate Advice: Those bloggers who wear ancient costumes and pose with oiled paper umbrellas will not tell you—the 98% humidity in the cave will make your makeup melt like a horror movie! The worst thing I've seen is a young lady wearing a horse-face skirt who performed a "drum washing machine" on the spot after being hooked by a stalactite... Conclusion: About the Embodiment of Eternity When the setting sun dyed the cave entrance amber, I suddenly realized that those stalactites that have been hanging for hundreds of millions of years need 1,600 years for every centimeter to grow. And the 6 km that we walked in two hours is just a shallow yawn from the earth. Perhaps this is the most shocking revelation of Tenglong Cave—in the face of a sufficiently grand space-time scale, even the word "shock" seems frivolous.
