The renowned Yellow Crane Tower is magnificent, with stone carvings from past dynasties and poems by literati. When you climb the Yellow Crane Tower, you can see the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. The two landscapes complement each other. The Yellow Crane Tower is even more beautiful at night. The weather in Wuhan is too hot.
During the Spring Festival, I started my trip to Wuhan with my family. We went to Snake Mountain in the Year of the Snake⛰️ and the country thought the same thing. So one gate was closed and we had to go back and forth to the other gate. It was a long detour, which was not very convenient.😵💫

Nice park to hike. You can also use the bus to visits the different places. I stayed for 2 nights on the mountain. That is enough time to walk everything. If you use the bus, 1 night is fine
The sightseeing bus is very convenient. Each scenic spot is quite interesting and you need to walk a lot within the scenic spot. Therefore, you can quickly reach each scenic spot by taking the sightseeing bus, which helps save time and energy.

The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, while the lush grass covers Parrot Island. This attraction is free and perfect for a leisurely visit with children and the elderly. Take in the tranquil Yangtze River and admire the nearby Yellow Crane Tower and Guishan Park. Visiting in spring or autumn is ideal; sunny summer days can be too hot, but the proximity to the Yangtze River creates a refreshing breeze. The night view is also stunning.
Good, good! We went during the day. It has historical and cultural value. Built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to commemorate Dayu's flood control efforts, it's an important symbol of Wuhan's history and culture. It offers excellent views, facing the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. It's a national AAA-rated scenic spot with free admission, making it a very cost-effective tourist attraction.

Teacher Wang Hui's explanations were fantastic. The two-hour visit allowed us to explore the museum's ten most treasured treasures and learn about 800 years of Chu history. It was definitely worth the trip. At Wang Hui's recommendation, we also listened to the chime bells, which was a truly unique experience.
Tour guide Xiao Jin's explanations were incredibly detailed and interactive, and the photos he took were beautiful too. A truly worthwhile experience! Highly recommended!
Also, I was lucky enough to get a front-row seat for the chime performance!

Take the sightseeing bus, which is a great way to save energy. East Lake is vast and beautiful, truly a famous lake! It's also beautiful and easily accessible by subway. East Lake is divided into several areas, so I recommend following a map. Each area has its own distinct characteristics, allowing you to experience the charm of the Jingchu region. The scenic area is also well-maintained, so it's not too hot on the lake in the summer.
Amidst China's vast and diverse scenic landscapes, Wuhan's East Lake Luoyan Scenic Area stands as a dazzling pearl, exuding a unique and captivating charm, making it an ideal destination for family outings.
Entering this scenic area is like stepping into a meticulously crafted natural landscape. The vast expanse of East Lake ripples with emerald blue waves, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the ever-shifting clouds in the sky and the lush surrounding mountains and trees, creating a vibrant, vibrant painting of interplay between reality and illusion, movement and stillness. A gentle breeze caresses the water, creating ripples that sparkle in the sunlight, like countless diamonds dancing and playing. Willow trees sway along the lakeside, their slender branches swaying in the breeze like soft ribbons swaying by nature, gently caressing the shore and adding a touch of movement and grace to the landscape.
Traveling along the winding paths, a rich and diverse vegetation unfolds in distinct layers. Tall, upright trees form a dense dome of green shade. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting dappled patterns of light, like a golden puzzle on the ground. The bushes are ablaze with vibrant flowers: red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow. Clusters of them vie for attention, emitting bursts of rich fragrance, attracting bees and butterflies to flit among the blossoms. Their buzzing sounds like a beautiful symphony of nature. The verdant grass is like a soft, thick velvet carpet, where children can run, play, and roll freely, feeling the warmth and embrace of the earth. Their laughter echoes in the air, infusing this tranquil scenic area with vibrant energy and vitality.
The ecological environment here is exceptional, making it a home for numerous bird species. Flocks of egrets can often be seen gracefully perched on the shallows, their slender legs slightly bent, their snow-white feathers gleaming in the sun. Sometimes they duck their heads to feed on small fish and shrimp in the water, sometimes they stretch their necks and chirp, flapping their wings and soaring high, piercing the calm surface of the lake and stirring up ripples. And the clever and lively little grebes nimbly navigate the water, diving for food and surfacing to shake off water droplets, their adorable appearance bringing laughter to the eyes. Parents can quietly observe the lives of these birds with their children and share scientific knowledge about them, allowing them to gain insights and cultivate a reverence for life through this close encounter with nature.
The scenic area also features a dedicated children's play area, equipped with a variety of safe and fun facilities. Slides, swings, climbing frames, and more allow children to unleash their energy and develop coordination and courage. In the interactive parent-child workshop, parents and children can participate in activities such as pottery making and painting, unleashing their imagination and creativity to create unique and beautiful memories. As night falls and the lights come on, the scenic area takes on a completely different, captivating scene.

People from Chongqing say that the Yangtze River only shows its true appearance in Wuhan. It is majestic and you can't see any cargo ships in the upper reaches of the city. The night view is also very good. It is very lively on the boat, with brothers traveling alone and lovely elderly tour groups.
We had a buffet on the boat, and later paid an additional 88 yuan per person to upgrade to VIP seats. We watched the night view on the boat for more than an hour. The lights of the buildings on both sides of the river changed, and the wind was blowing. It was really beautiful to watch the night view of the two rivers!

Tianzhu Mountain is a wonderful place worth visiting with children. It's a great way to develop your child's perseverance, and the scenery along the way is also very captivating. Anhui has many famous mountains, and Tianzhu Mountain is probably second only to Huangshan Mountain in terms of importance.

This is different from ordinary performances. It is more immersive and visual, and you can completely immerse yourself in it, which is also very good! But how to maintain high traffic over the long term is the key!
The place is very big. We went there in the afternoon and took a walk and rest but didn't finish visiting all the places. We watched a few programs which were too scattered. We didn't know the way and had to look for places everywhere. The beef noodles we went to in the scenic area were a bit expensive, more than 20 yuan for a small portion. I don't know the situation as we didn't spend any other money.

For children who love the Three Kingdoms, this is definitely worth a visit. It's an immersive experience. Although everything is a replica, you can at least see and touch the buildings, utensils, weapons, and culture of the Three Kingdoms period. There are performances along the way, so plan ahead (see the attached schedule and map). Unfortunately, we arrived too late and missed the Zhuge Crossbow and the cable car.
The environment is beautiful, with a high forest coverage rate. The scenic area is surrounded by lush green mountains and streams. Viewpoints such as Tenglong Pavilion offer beautiful views of the pastoral scenery. Although the five-hour tour was tight (not because there were few attractions, but because I had other plans), I didn't have time to enjoy many attractions. The scenery along the way healed my fatigue. Although it was not the peak period of the May Day holiday, there were fewer people visiting. I didn't dare to enter many buildings to appreciate them. They felt eerie and scary, especially the climb to Tenglong Pavilion. I was worried about wild animals roaming around and attacking. However, the whole experience was very good. It was easy to feel the sense of history and the relationship between historical figures, and it broadened my knowledge and insights!

It's worth the experience. I went with my children. Adults are 120cm tall and children over 1.3cm tall are half price. After boarding the boat, there are many people on the deck and limited chairs. For a better experience, I upgraded the cabin and sat at the bow. There are free snacks and drinks. Adults are 88 and children are half price. The whole journey takes one hour.
I've been on the Two Rivers Night Cruise many times. Sitting on the top of the boat, feeling the gentle river breeze, is so refreshing! The night scene on both sides of the river is dazzling and colorful, it's really beautiful! I highly recommend it!
