The city’s landmark is of great significance: Standing on the top of Snake Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Yellow Crane Tower is Wuhan’s iconic building, embodying the city’s spirit and witnessing the city’s development and changes.
I rarely leave reviews, but this time was an exception.
First, the hotel service was excellent.
When I checked in, the front desk lady noticed I'd only ordered one breakfast, but after learning I was a group of three, she offered to bring me two. The hotel has a large staff, friendly, and efficient staff. Every time I entered or left the hotel, they greeted me. Calls to the front desk were answered immediately. Room supplies were quickly delivered.
Second, the hotel is in a great location, about 2 kilometers off the highway, and 2-3 kilometers from Wennan Old Street. The rooms are new, the environment is nice, and the amenities are comprehensive. I won't go into detail about this; it was basically as described in the description.
Finally, let's talk about breakfast. I went down around 8:00 AM, and it wasn't crowded. The food was varied and delicious.
I can say that the five stars are for the hotel's service and the front desk lady, and these comments are truly heartfelt. Judging from the value for money, there's really nothing to complain about.

The overall feeling is pretty good. It's summer vacation, and there are a lot of people, but fortunately the tour guide showed me around, I followed him, and heard his explanations. The tour guide was very professional, and I avoided a lot of detours. I strongly recommend buying a tour guide. If you go by yourself, you'll just be watching the crowds.
It's definitely worth it! There are the stunning national treasures of Mawangdui, exquisite bronzes, plain gauze robes, and a huge bronze jar brought back from overseas, along with wonderful explanations. I highly recommend this trip.

I went to check out the night view the night before, and bought a ticket to the pavilion the next morning. It was 38 degrees Celsius, and I took a sauna. The setting sun and the solitary wild goose flew together, and the autumn water and the sky were the same color.
The 50 yuan ticket to visit Tengwang Pavilion at night is more valuable than the ticket to visit Tengwang Pavilion during the day. It is a great place to take the children to check in. Standing on the attic overlooking the scenery on both sides of the Ganjiang River is very beautiful and very photogenic!

Orange Island overlooks Yuelu Mountain to the west and Changsha City to the east. Surrounded by water, it stretches for 5 kilometers, measuring about 40 meters across at its narrowest point and 140 meters wide at its widest point, with a maximum width of just over 300 meters. Its long and narrow shape resembles a dragon. Its most famous feature is the magnificent stone statues of great men.
Changsha's Orange Island, nestled in the heart of the Xiangjiang River, resembles a long, emerald green dragon and is known as "China's No. 1 Island." Lush green trees and fragrant orange orchards adorn the island, while a monumental sculpture of a young Mao Zedong stands at its center, majestically gazing out over the Xiangjiang River. It serves as both a leisure haven for residents and a sacred place for historical reflection. Strolling along the island's edge, visitors can admire the magnificent riverscape, depicting "the river overflowing with emerald green, a hundred boats vying for the current." It is Changsha's most iconic city symbol and cultural landmark.
Features:
1. Core Elements: Identify the location (the center of the Xiangjiang River), shape (the long dragon/aircraft carrier), iconic landscape (the Mao Zedong sculpture), and natural features (the lush green trees and orange orchard).
2. Function and Significance: Mention its leisure function, historical significance (a revolutionary memorial), and status as a cultural landmark.
3. Artistic Concept: Invoke the phrase "the river overflowing with emerald green, a hundred boats vying for the current" to add literary flair and highlight the scenic value. 4. Word Count: Strictly limit your content to around 100 words (approximately 98 words excluding punctuation).
5. Concise Language: Use concise and powerful vocabulary (e.g., "lying quietly," "standing tall," "majestic," "gazing," "magnificent," "visiting," "visiting," "landmark").

Lushan is picturesque and particularly beautiful. It is definitely worth a visit. This should be the most beautiful mountain near Wuhan. Of course, the cost is also high, but the scenery is really beautiful.
The ticket to Lushan is not expensive, but there is a cable car, sightseeing bus, small train, and some trains, all of which need to be purchased, especially to go to San Diequan. You have to go up and down the same way, climb the stairs, and climb until you doubt your life. It is said to be more than a thousand, but it really feels like climbing to the end. We went to San Diequan after climbing the five peaks. It was from 7 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the evening because the sightseeing bus stopped at 7 o'clock. The ticket can be used repeatedly, but you have to pay for the cable car once you use it. My physical strength is limited, so I booked a two-day trip and only went up and down the mountain for one day.

The typical Hui-style village landscape, with its Nanhu Lake and Yuezhao, elevates Hongcun's architectural design compared to other villages. The idea of "a step back, a waxing moon, a waning moon" is ingrained into our daily lives. There were quite a few students painting; next time, they could bring pen and paper for some sketching and pass the time.
However, as a 5A scenic spot, it could certainly add some intangible cultural heritage experiences, such as woodcarving and root carving workshops or fish lantern making. Otherwise, it's just a stroll without any fun, which feels a bit lacking.
The parking lot is often full, a testament to Hongcun's popularity. Hongcun's South Lake is particularly beautiful, bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder. Check-in photos are everywhere.

Take a look at the scenery along the Xiangjiang River. The moment the pavilion is opened and lit up is quite spectacular. You can also see the overall appearance without buying a ticket. The performances are divided into outdoor and indoor. There will be a schedule. Just follow the schedule to go to different locations. There are no seats. You need to grab a standing position in advance. It's a bit tiring. The indoor air conditioning is not very good. It is very hot when there are many people.
The night view is pretty good, mainly because of the evening performances. Overall, it takes less than an hour to complete the tour, but the tickets are relatively expensive. The introduction to Du Fu is not very detailed.

A trip to Jiuhua Mountain is a journey of mental and physical hardship, physical exhaustion, and even physical deprivation. Although we took a bus and a cable car, after the cable car, we still had to hike for 60 minutes (with a 30-minute break) to reach Datiantai Temple. The steep climb was a physical and mental exercise.
It is convenient to purchase tickets on Ctrip. Just show the QR code when checking the ticket. In addition to the bus ticket going up and down the mountain, you can also take the mountain shuttle bus from Huxingshan Station to Wolshenbojeon, Tiantai and other scenic spots.

The resort is perfect for an evening visit. There's a barbecue viewing platform where you can enjoy a meal while watching the fireworks and drone show. However, it's expensive, costing 60 yuan per person for a seat. Of course, you can choose not to eat and watch from the side areas.
Because we went there at 6pm, I felt that the price/performance ratio was not high. I only went in to watch a fireworks show and iron flowers, and there was no interaction afterwards. This ticket should be valid for 2 days.

This trip is coming to a successful end. I will take the high-speed rail home in the afternoon. Although the attractions are a bit far apart and the journey takes a bit longer, it is all worth it to see the beautiful scenery! Tour guide Ayuan explained and accompanied us along the way. The service was enthusiastic and thoughtful. I will come to Guizhou again next time I have the chance.
There are very few people in Qingchuan Pavilion at night, but when I got to the door I was informed that there would be no performances in the evening because it was too hot at night🥵. It can be used as a small tourist attraction and you can take pictures of the Yellow Crane Tower opposite.
