The filming location of the movie Memoirs of a Geisha. People from all over the world come to Kyoto for pilgrimage. When you come to Kyoto, you must come to Arashiyama for pilgrimage. When you come to Arashiyama, you must come to the Bamboo Grove Path. The total length is only 1,800 meters. But the spring breeze is gentle, and the shadows of the bamboos are swaying, which must be matched with the beautiful scenery of Arashiyama, complementing each other. Going further in is Arashiyama Park, which is a different world.

A cultural tourism park that should be little known. It is a theater town that was created for theater performances. This time I happened to come here during the Spring Theater Festival and was fortunate to see many foreign performance groups. The performance program for a whole week is very rich. The theater environment is small and beautiful. There is also an open-air imitation Roman amphitheater. It is a place with a very literary atmosphere. At night, the buildings in the town are dotted with stars, which is very artistic. It is also very pleasant to take a walk in the quiet night. I hope that the transportation can be opened soon. It is a place worth visiting.

Walking on the streets of Huichang County, Jiangxi Province, the air is filled with the unique humid atmosphere of Jiangnan, and the occasional fragrance of osmanthus makes people can't help but take a few deep breaths. Today, I want to recommend a treasure place that is super suitable for holiday trips - Huichang Artist Hotel (Drama Town Branch). Not only does it have a unique accommodation experience, but there are also many beautiful sceneries worth exploring around it! 😉Sleep in the embrace of drama The hotel is located in the Drama Town, and each room is like a carefully designed stage play. I stayed in a room by the water, with the gurgling water outside the window. When I closed my eyes, I could almost hear the melodious singing on the stage. The facilities in the room are also very considerate, with an air purifier and a Cat King Little Prince stereo, which makes people feel like they are living in an art space intertwined with modernity and tradition. ☕A cup in the morning, wake up to a better day Every morning, you can enjoy a rich breakfast in the hotel's coffee shop. Although the breakfast location is a bit far away, walking along the small road in the town, the scenery along the way is enough to make you forget this inconvenience. The breakfast here is rich in variety, with both traditional Chinese breakfast and Western-style light meals, there is always one that can satisfy your taste buds. 🚗Convenient travel, do whatever you want For friends who are traveling by car, this is simply a paradise. The hotel has a spacious indoor parking lot, which is only a few steps away from the room. Whether you are going to Huichang Mountain or other attractions, it is very convenient to travel. 🍜Food exploration, not to be missed Beimen Restaurant and Lai Mama's Private Kitchen in the town are both gourmet destinations in the mouths of locals. Especially Lai Mama's Private Kitchen, where the Gan cuisine is authentic and delicious, and every time I reminisce about it, I feel yearning. If you are a food lover, you will definitely have a great time here. This trip to Drama Town really left a deep impression on me. Huichang Artist Hotel is not only a good place to rest, but also a window to deeply understand the local culture.

Different choices, different stories, and completely different destinies. 🎯 ·About the town· The town takes the old house of the famous drama master Lai Shengchuan as its starting point🏠while retaining the original streetscape, it has built a theater, a garden theater, an experimental theater, a rehearsal hall, etc. And Lai Shengchuan is about to usher in a new round of drama collection.

I always feel like I’m “shooting” a TV series! 🎴 ·About the experience· The immersion is very strong and the game design is reasonable. I personally feel that the difficulty of the clue part is OK, and there is no situation where you cannot continue playing. As long as you think more, you can solve many puzzles. The actors are professional and dedicated, and they never go out of character! 👏 Overall, this immersive theater is incomparable to ordinary script-killing games. It has real scenes, dedicated actors, and some secret room attributes. It is really suitable for playing with friends! 🎉

There is a distance between Hanxian Rock climbing and the cruise pier, which requires the scenic area battery car and bus to connect. You can decide whether to climb the mountain first or take the boat first according to your needs. 🧳Preparation before departure: 1- Buy a pass at least one day in advance on Ctrip, which is a bit cheaper, about 125 yuan, including scenic spot tickets, round-trip buses and battery cars, and boat tickets. 2- Prepare some snacks and enough water. There seems to be only one homestay where you can eat at the foot of the mountain. The rest are small stalls and vendors, selling some simple noodles, tofu pudding and local seasonal specialties. 3- It is recommended to bring two sets of equipment, you must wear sports shoes and sportswear for climbing, and a simple backpack; you can wear ancient style or skirts for boat trips and Yangjiao Shuibao, which will be very photogenic. 🗓Itinerary: It takes about 6 hours in total. Mountain climbing 2:30 hours. Arrive at Hanxian Rock at 11 o'clock, exchange tickets at the entrance of the scenic spot, and probably go down the mountain at 1:30; the climbing part of Hanxian Rock is relatively simple, and the difficulty index is not high; pay attention to get the scenic spot map or take a photo and go around according to the picture. The highlights are the aerial plank road and the Shenlong Canyon. The canyon is particularly recommended. It is deep and cool, with moss on both sides, and you feel like you are walking into a natural oxygen bar as soon as you enter! It's not a must-pass, don't miss it. 1:30—2:00, I ate some noodles, tofu pudding, oranges, corn and white sweet potatoes sold by farmers at the foot of the mountain. The waist is simple, 10 yuan per serving is considered average in the scenic area; the corn and white sweet potatoes sold by farmers are good, fresh and juicy. You can taste the oranges before buying. After eating, take a battery car at the entrance of the scenic spot, about 7-10 minutes to the pier. The cruise takes about 1.5-2 hours in total. There are three shifts in the morning, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, and four shifts in the afternoon, 1:30-4:30 each shift, one-way, you can get on the boat at both piers, arrive at the pier 10 minutes in advance. Pay attention to arrange the itinerary. We took the 2:30 shift, about 50 minutes to the pier; then the battery car took about 10 minutes to the bus parking point, and the bus took about 10-15 minutes to send back to the pier where we boarded. The pier where we boarded is about 200 meters away from the scenic spot. Walk back to the scenic spot to pick up the car, and drive for more than 10 minutes to reach the Yangjiao Castle in Yangjiao Village. Yangjiao Shuibao is free and no tickets are required. It is not a must, but it is recommended to spend an extra hour. In order to protect this ancient village, the government has opened up a piece for the people to build new houses. The old houses are preserved and not renovated or destroyed. There are still some old people living in it, and you can walk around. The city wall is about 1-2 kilometers, the outside is a big river, and the inside is the ancient village. The architecture of the ancient temple can imagine the glory of the past. The city wall was almost renovated in the past 10 years, and a small section of the original bricks was kept, and it would be very beautiful to take pictures of ancient style and skirts. End the itinerary at five o'clock, each back to each home. Overall rating: 4 stars Did not find delicious food; The difficulty and highlights of climbing are not very prominent, fortunately the cruise is quite beautiful to make up for some. I didn't watch the performance at night, so I can't comment. The ticket and the 5A scenic spot are no different, a bit more expensive. The service is okay, the staff and vendors have a good attitude; clean and tidy, the bathroom is also convenient and clean. The location is very convenient, at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. 🚉Traffic strategy: We drove by ourselves, directly navigated to the Hanxian Rock Scenic Area. After parking the car, go up the mountain, and then take the scenic area battery car to the pier after coming down, and then take the scenic area battery car and bus back to the entrance of the Hanxian Rock Scenic Area after getting off the boat.
