| Zhupi Mountain in Jiangxia. Zhupi Mountain in Jiangxia has always been known as the Little Qingdao of Wuhan. This name arouses curiosity and yearning. It is not only a treasure of natural landscape, but also a quiet and beautiful spiritual habitat. The newly built greenway around the mountain is like a golden ribbon wrapped around the mountains, with yellow fences along the way to protect the safety of pedestrians. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the Zhifang city and Bafen Mountain. The view is broad and refreshing. The densely packed and well-arranged red roofs sparkle with warm light in the sun, as if taking you back to a distant foreign country. The unique style of Little Qingdao is perfectly reproduced here. Zhupi Mountain is a relatively low-key mountain with few tourists, but its unique charm is enough to attract travelers who love adventure and discovery.

When you stand on the top of the mountain, a beautiful picture unfolds before your eyes - the red roofs in full swing are like gems inlaid in the earth. Different scenery is hidden at every turn, making you linger. This is why Zhupi Mountain is known as "Little Qingdao of Wuhan". Every step you take tells of the unique beauty and tranquility of the old town of Jiangxia Zhifang.

| Jiangxia Bafenshan Ciyun Temple. Ciyun Temple, originally named Lingji Nan, was founded in the first year of the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era (627 AD). It stands proudly on Zhifang Street in Jiangxia District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, backed by the majestic Bafenshan Mountain. On this ancient land, the "Jiankang Record" states: "The land of Wuchang, though the mountains are majestic, the forests are not lush. At first glance, it seems suitable for settling down, but over time, it feels desolate; this Bafenshan Mountain, with its mountain range resembling the character 'eight,' though not reaching the number 'nine,' has its own mysteries between heaven and earth." In those days, Bafenshan Mountain stretched endlessly, its mountain range like a giant dragon lying on the waves, winding and majestic, with lush vegetation and misty clouds, praised as the "top natural landscape of Wuhan." On this spiritual land, Ciyun Temple resembles a celestial palace descending from the sky, blending harmoniously with the mountains. Its architecture is exquisite, with carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves and upturned corners, appearing and disappearing in the mist, truly a fairyland on earth. Throughout history, Ciyun Temple has received the favor of many emperors. Tang Taizong Li Shimin, admiring its tranquility and elegance, issued an edict to protect it; Song Dynasty's Emperor Xiaozong Zhao Shen and Emperor Guangzong Zhao Dun also successively bestowed titles, regarding it as a royal dojo, providing generous support and visiting it multiple times, making it famous far and wide. Over the years, Ciyun Temple has weathered storms and changes, yet still stands tall, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties, becoming a cultural treasure and spiritual sanctuary on the land of China. In modern society, Ciyun Temple is not only a place for many believers to seek spiritual solace but also attracts countless tourists to visit, experiencing the tranquility and solemnity that transcends millennia. Every time the morning glow rises or the sunset sets, standing in front of the temple, gazing at the distant mountains, one cannot help but feel infinite emotions—what a magnificent scenery, and what a long and glorious history!

After climbing three mountains in one day, I summarized the most comfortable hiking route to watch the sunset in Jiangxia for everyone‼ ️🦶I am lame 🙈 It’s a place I’ve been to a thousand times and still want to go to‼ ️ p1-p7 🚩Coordinates: Xiong Yanbi Park 🚌Transportation: Take Subway Line 7 to Zhifa Street Station (Exit D) and then transfer to Bus No. 11 and get off at Xiong Yanbi Park 🚗Self-driving: Direct navigation to Xiong Yanbi Park (free admission and free parking) ⛰️The steps up the mountain are relatively flat and not very strenuous. It takes about 30 minutes to hike up the mountain. The view from the top of the mountain is very beautiful, a bit like looking at the "sea" in Qingdao🌊 🎋On the way up the mountain, the tall and straight bamboo forest emits a faint light under the sunlight, as if you are in a fairyland 🍁The roads are paved with the "romance" that is unique to autumn The rustling sound under your feet is really relaxing! ! Maple leaves, forest, bamboo forest, watching the sea, which one can’t take a good photo! ! p8-p9🚩Coordinates: Zhupi Mountain 🚗Only 10 minutes drive from Xiong Tingbi Park The car is parked at the Fourth Company of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau (cars cannot go up the mountain) 🚌If you take the bus: get off at Guanshan Bridge Station Get off the bus and walk a short distance to see the entrance to the greenway. ✅If Xiong Yanbi feels a bit like Qingdao Then Zhupi Mountain is like being in Qingdao. The orange trail fence Overlooking the red-tiled and white-brick urban area from the top There are also many friends playing skateboards along the way It should be a gathering place for skateboard boys and girls🛹 🚩Coordinates: Bafen Mountain 🚗15 minutes drive from Xiongtingbi Zhupi Mountain 🅿️There are many private parking spaces at the foot of the mountain. They will greet you warmly when you arrive. 😂Anyway, my parking fee is 10 yuan, not counting the time. Some others charge 15 yuan, not counting the time. You guys bargain hahaha If you have climbed the first two mountains, I suggest you pick up a thick branch or bring your own trekking pole. I didn’t bring anything and lay down for two days after the climb. It takes about 40 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. There are people selling drinks and snacks on the road 🌭 Halfway through the walk, there will be a sign for "Sunset Viewing Area"🪧 Because there is a fork in the road so you don't go the wrong way It was 4:30 when we went there. I saw many people going down the mountain. I was still very nervous because I was afraid that I would not be able to see the sunset. When I reached the top of the mountain at 5:30, it was almost dark and I still didn’t see it. I don't know if it was because of the weather or because we were late, but it's still a pity. I suggest you check the weather forecast if you are going there 🥺 A few hundred words are not enough to summarize my feelings But if you want to hike on the weekend to experience the beauty of autumn oxygen breathing You can refer to my experience and hope it will be helpful to everyone💗
