Laojun Mountain Scenic Spot
It is said that Laojun Attraction is the place where Li Er (Laozi), the founder of Taoism, practiced in seclusion. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a temple was built in the mountain to commemorate it. Later, it was named "the famous mountain in the world" and has always been popular. The mountain is lush with trees and picturesque, and mountain springs can be seen everywhere. In the golden autumn, this is the best choice for viewing red leaves in the Souvenir areas. After the rain, Laojun Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist in each peak, like a fairyland in the sky. The Attraction area is huge and is mainly divided into the main Laojun Mountain Attraction in the center, the Dream Valley Attraction in the west, and the Zhaigou Attraction Area in the east. Generally, tourists will spend a day to visit the main Laojun Mountain Attraction, which is also the most developed area of the entire Attraction. If you go to the top of the mountain, you will also have the opportunity to see the beautiful sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset. The main Attraction of Laojun Mountain includes Zhongtianmen, Jinding, Laojun Temple, Nantianmen, Yuhuangding and Mazongling. Since its construction in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Laojun Temple has been the center of worship for pilgrims from the Central Plains; the Taoist temple on Yuhuangding enshrines the Jade Emperor and is also a good place to view the scenery in the mountain; Jinding and Mazongling are good places to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds. Recommended itinerary: Day Trips Most tourists choose to spend a day to visit the main Attraction of Laojun Mountain. Lingguan Hall - the statue of Laojun at the foot of the mountain - Lincu Hall - Zhongtianmen - tree-lined trail - Lying Yunsong - Bodhisattva Hall - Laojun Temple, Jinding - Yuhuangding, and then return along the original route. Tourists can choose to walk the whole way or take a "walk + cable car" tour of Laojun Mountain according to their own conditions. There is the Zhongling Cableway of the Attraction between the Lingguan Temple at the foot of the mountain and the Zhongtian Gate on the mountainside. Take the Zhongling Cableway and then walk from Zhongtian Gate to the top of the mountain, Yuhuang Peak. The road from Zhongtian Gate to the top of the mountain is not very steep and can usually be completed in about an hour. Two-day tour If you have enough time, you can spend two days to visit Laojun Mountain. The general route is: D1: Visit the main Attraction of Laojun Mountain and stay in the mountain that night.

Longmen Grottoes
One of the four major grottoes of China and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Longmen Grottoes are a trove of 1000 years of Buddhist art treasures. Bounded by the Yi River, the caverns are divided into two sections at East Hill and West Hill. The caverns at East Hill contain mostly Tang dynasty (618-907) works, while the caverns at West Hill were cut out during the Northern, Sui, and Tang dynasties and contain the carvings that are most representative of the site. The Buddha and bodhisattva sculptures that inhabit the caverns are carved into an endless variety of poses and expressions of mercy and kindness, while the caves themselves lend a stately and dignified atmosphere. The artistry of these sculptures is truly a priceless inheritance of Buddhist art.China · Luoyang
The Three Gorges Dam Tourism Area
The Three Gorges Dam Tourism Area is located in the Xiling Gorge section of the Yangtze River in Yichang, Hubei. It is a scenic attraction built around the Three Gorges hydro project, covering over ten square kilometers. Currently, it offers travelers three viewing spots: Tanzi Ridge, the 185 viewing platform, and the river closure memorial park. The dam crest itself is not open to travelers, so visits primarily revolve around these three attractions. Tanzi Ridge is the highest accessible point in the dam area, named for its jar-shaped summit viewing platform resembling an overturned jar. It also served as the survey site for the dam's initial location selection. From the ridge top, visitors can overlook the Three Gorges Project in its entirety—the dam, power station, and twin five-level ship locks are all visible. The five lock chambers cascade down the mountainside, earning the nickname "Fourth Gorge of the Yangtze." The park displays engineering artifacts like ancient riverbed stones, river closure rocks, and foundation stones from the dam site, complemented by model exhibits that help visitors intuitively understand the origins and development of this mega-project. The 185 observation platform is located on the left bank of the dam. It gets its name from sharing the same elevation of 185 m as the dam crest. Standing on the platform feels like being atop the dam: on one side, the dam and vertical ship lift are within close reach, offering a chance to witness ships "riding the elevator" over the dam; on the other side lies the vast, tranquil reservoir upstream. The stark contrast between the stillness above and the dynamism below the dam is striking. The closure memorial park is situated on the right bank downstream of the dam, preserving artifacts like tetrahedral closure stones and large loading machinery used during the construction. It's an ideal spot to view the dam's full frontal grandeur. During flood seasons when the dam releases water, torrents rush out from the deep outlets, creating towering mist and thunderous echoes that reverberate through the valley—a truly awe-inspiring spectacle. The three attractions are far apart, and the scenic area provides shuttle buses for transportation. It is recommended to reserve half a day to visit them in order.China · Yichang

Zhongyuan Erlong Mountain combines humanities and natural landscapes. You can climb the mountain to enjoy the view, exercise and breathe fresh air. Believers can worship Guanyin and Wen Caishen. The cableway glass bridge can reduce the fatigue of the trip and increase the fun. Eat and stay at the top of the mountain or relax at Hanwangzhai to watch the sunrise. At present, only the middle line is feasible for hiking.

Funiushan is a scenic spot in Laojunshan. The weather is not very good today. It is cloudy for a while and cloudy for a while. The scenery is still very beautiful. The peak is also very high. It takes a long time to climb. I feel very tired when I go there, but the air and mood are very happy.

The exhibit mainly features dinosaur eggs, and the collection is very rich.
There's a horizontally excavated tunnel that cuts directly through the strata containing dinosaur egg fossils, showcasing three different geological layers. At the end is a vertical shaft leading directly to the surface, revealing the layered distribution of dinosaur eggs vertically.
The core exhibition hall houses a collection of large dinosaur fossils from various regions, including a gigantic dinosaur estimated to be 10-20 meters long, spanning the entire hall – truly spectacular. It's very interesting for children and a rare and awe-inspiring geological wonder for adults.
While the exhibition hall is large, the exhibits are relatively limited.

Sito bellissimo, incredibile la storia. Da visitare assolutamente nel pomeriggio dove la folla della mattina è passata. Noi all'ingresso abbiamo contrattato con varie guide e alle fine con 30€ abbiamo preso una guida solo per noi (ci hanno detto che il pomeriggio c'è maggior facilità di contrattazione perché non ci sono molti turisti). Il giardino non siamo riusciti a vederlo perché avevamo finito il tempo ma dice meriti...

We hiked up from Lingguan Temple. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and the supply stations were very helpful. After reaching Shili Huaping, the scenery was breathtaking. It was windy and cold at the Golden Summit, but the moment the lights came on was worth seeing.

1. I visited on the last day of the National Day holiday, which was the least crowded day of the holiday, so there were no queues at any of the caves.
2. The only large Buddha statue is the Rushana Buddha, so the overall size of the Yungang Grottoes isn't as large as I've seen before. The caves are mainly concentrated on the west bank; there are only about ten scattered caves on the east bank, and you have to climb a short path to see them halfway up the mountain. I entered the park at 10 am and left at 2 pm, taking my time to explore. I didn't see Xiangji Temple or Bai Juyi's Mausoleum, but I visited every cave on both banks.
