Things to do in Linli

Nice town, but 100 RMB is a hefty price just to take a photo of the waterfall. Otherwise similar to most ancient towns. Might look more amazing if it rained the days before for a stronger waterfall.

Was very beautiful inside, but a lot more walking up stairs than I had imagined! Despite it saying it’s always 16 degrees inside, it actually gets very humid and feels quite warm inside with no breeze so consider bringing a fan and ditching any jumpers/jackets.

The park is located in the 19-peak mountain range on the east wing of the Wuling Mountains. It is a low mountain and hilly landform with an altitude difference of 345.1 meters. The terrain is undulating, with peaks and valleys alternating, and the terrain is peculiar, with high ornamental value. The park has a monsoon humid climate that transitions from the mid-subtropical to the northern subtropical, with distinct four seasons, warm winter and cool summer, mild spring and autumn, an average annual temperature of 16.7℃, and an annual rainfall of 1367.1 mm. It is an ideal place for summer vacation, sightseeing and leisure.

The "Biyan Record" he commented on is known as the "First Book of Zen". There are rich historical relics, including more than 10 scenic spots such as the Tomb of King Chuang, the Ink Washing Pool, the Jade Seal Well, and the Biyan Spring. Among them, the Tomb of King Chuang is known as the "No. 1 Tomb in Hunan".

In summary, Jiashan National Forest Park integrates natural landscapes and cultural history, and is an ideal place for sightseeing, leisure vacations and cultural experiences.

I recently joined this wonderful Three Gorges one-day cruise tour in Yichang together with my friends. The whole tour cost only 250 yuan per person, and a nice lunch was included in the package, which is really good value.We sailed through the beautiful Xiling Gorge and got to see the world-famous Three Gorges Dam. The river and mountain views along the way were breathtaking. Our tour guide was very friendly and patient. The guide showed us all the sights and explained lots of useful information about the dam and the gorge. All of us were satisfied and enjoyed the trip a lot. The schedule was well planned, and the boat ride was comfortable. I highly recommend this cruise tour if you come to Yichang!

Changde Liuye Lake is the core tourist resort of Changde City, Hunan Province. It integrates natural scenery, human history, sports events and music culture, and is known as the "No. 1 Lake in Chinese Cities". Along the lake, there are fisherman and woodcutter cultural relics and a group of sculptures themed on the Battle of Changde; Dahe Street, Xiaohe Street and Mayang Street are national-level tourist and leisure districts, integrating ancient buildings and intangible cultural heritage. When Liu Yuxi was exiled to Changde (ancient Langzhou), he wrote "Humble House Inscription", and Sima Tower was built on the lakeside to commemorate him. Myths and legends such as "Liu Hai Cutting Wood" and "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" are circulated.

It's definitely worth a visit. Everyone says that free things are the most expensive, but I think this place is excellent. Li Zijian's works are absolutely worth seeing! The portraits are incredibly lifelike. However, the lunch is really not good, unlike what people say online. You can eat outside.

If you're going to Shennongding multiple times, this is very worthwhile. I went to Shennongding four times just to wait for the weather, and also visited Guanmenshan, Guanmenshan, Tianshengqiao, and Dajiuhu. It was definitely worth it!

Compared to Enshi Grand Canyon, I highly recommend Pingshan Canyon. Don't choose the so-called "lazy person's route" with boats in and out; you still walk quite a bit, and you repeat the same route both ways, going up and down a long stretch of steps inside the cave and missing a lot of scenery! Just take the regular route; even as a lazy person, I thought it was fine. The cliffside views are absolutely stunning!

The Three Gorges Family Village is nestled amidst the serene mountains and waters of the Yangtze River's Three Gorges. Bluestone slabs wind around the stilted houses along the water, fishing boats glide slowly across the clear blue river, and fishermen's chants drift away on the river breeze. The ancient village retains the traditions of the ancient Ba-Chu region, with lively wedding performances and vibrant hand-waving dances, brimming with the rustic charm of the mountains. Leave behind the hustle and bustle of the city, stroll along the riverbank, feeling the moist breeze, and steal a moment of relaxation and tranquility amidst the embrace of mountains and water.

The scenery was beautiful, especially after the rain, like walking through a painting; the tour guide at the Three Gorges Dam was beautiful, had a lovely voice, and provided thorough explanations; the young man who accompanied us was professional, dedicated, and provided detailed explanations and made excellent arrangements! Highly recommended!
