xavier_demetriusnightshade Magical area- Yellow Crane Tower 🗼🗼🗼
This historical tower is hot spot for tourists in Wuhan.
The current building was built in 1980-85 years but original layout has knows ancient drawings.
The Tower has 5 floors which you really need to climb around the building but you absolutely will not feel tired. With each floor you will discover more and more breathtaking view to the city.

A day out in Wuhan
Upon climbing to the top of the Yellow Crane Tower, the whole of Wuhan reveals it's true beauty. Fill yourself up with enough hot dry noodles 热干面 and that should give you enough energy to explore the this historic site.
If you still have time for more, then head over to the East Lake and witness another beautiful site. If your legs are tired at this point, then hire one of the many bikes available around the park.
When evening comes, why not visit Jianghan Street for a taste of Europe in the heart of Wuhan. With many designer stores, coffee shops and restaurant, it's a perfect place to finish your trip.

🌸 East Lake Cherry Garden (admission fee): The garden has over ten thousand cherry trees and is an excellent place to view cherry blossoms in Wuhan. Despite the constant flow of people, the beauty of the cherry garden is still captivating.

🌸 Wuhan University (free but reservation by phone 📱 required): Early cherry blossoms have bloomed near Luojia Villa and the entrance of Teaching Building 5, but they have started to wither, while the cherry blossoms near Cherry Blossom Castle have not yet bloomed, but the buds are already visible, expected to bloom around March 20th.

Here you can take photos of the cherry blossoms with the Turtle Mountain TV Tower 🗼 in the same frame, and from the top, you can see the Parrot Island Bridge, the Yangtze River Bridge, the Yellow Crane Tower, and other famous sights.
🌸 Qingchuan Pavilion (free): Located opposite Turtle Mountain, you can check in here as well. The cherry trees here blend perfectly with the surrounding environment, and the photo effect has a strong Japanese style.
Before taking photos, why not visit Grandpa Doesn't Make Tea, a flower-themed store, to buy this year's new cherry blossom 🌸 products, available in three flavors: Spring Return·Cherry Blossom, Spring Return·Cherry Snow, and Spring Return·Cherry Longan.

Hurry up and take a photo with the cherry blossoms - my heart, I just can't let go ❤

Enshi Grand Canyon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
we started from cable car down to up station and did 6k on the top of the ridge until escalators. followed by few kilometers bus ride from escalator down station to cable car down station back. then walked down the stairs to follow the green path on the bottom of the valley. all together 15 km GPS measured was gold. highly recommended for hiking lovers !
The Grand Canyon is approximately 2 hours by car from Enshi. The total trek is around 10 kilometres and takes around 4-5 hours. Do take the cable car as it covers a lo of grounds over a not very scenic part of the mountains. There are plenty of food stalls along the way for u to fuel up
#roadtrip#hiking#nationalpark#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
Enshi five-day tour self-driving route recommended!
Enshi is located at the intersection of Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou provinces. It is cold in winter and cold in summer. It has abundant rainfall and abundant four seasons. The most famous one is Enshi Grand Canyon, but there are many small attractions. Shaojingmei, hurry to Mark
Itinerary recommendation:
D1 Arrival, live in Enshi Grand Canyon
D2 Enshi Grand Canyon Qixingzhai, Yunlong Ground, "Dragon Boat Tune" live performance
D3 Golden Cave, Tangya Toast City, Live Tree House
D4 Enshiping Dam Camp, Sidongxia
D5 Return
Transportation:
1 There are not many flights directly to Enshi. If there is no direct flight to Enshi in your city, you can consider going to Wuhan and then taking a train to Enshi.
2 After you get to Enshi, you can pick up your car and drive. Since there are many mountain roads, it is recommended to purchase the whole car insurance at the same time.
3 If you encounter thunderstorms in summer, you should pay attention to the road conditions in time, there may be mudslides or landslides leading to road closures.
:
1 Enshi Grand Canyon is divided into two main scenic spots: Yunlong and Qixingzhai. The upper seven-star village can take the cable car, and there are also hand-held elevators to go down the mountain. The entire scenic area is very large. There are no attractions in the two sections of the mountain and the downhill. It is recommended to take the cable car to save energy and time.
2 "Dragon Boat Tune" is a folk song of Lichuan. The real performance is based on the love story of a pair of Tujia boys and girls in the Tusi era, describing their touching stories of breaking away from feudal ties and pursuing free love. The scene is spectacular and you can better understand the local culture.
3Tangya Tusi City is a late Ming Dynasty ruins. If you just think of yourself as a hillside, it is recommended to find a explanation.
4 The number of tree house hotels in Lupingbaying is limited. It is often full in the peak season during the summer vacation. It is recommended to book in advance.
Hotel recommendation:
Enshi Grand Canyon Daughter Village Hotel. Very close to the Grand Canyon, the rooms are large in size, with balconies facing the mountain and elegantly furnished. The hotel has breakfast available and is cost effective.
pingbaying tree house. As if living in a Nordic cabin, the air in the virgin forest is exceptionally good. The detached chalet is quiet and romantic, but the facilities are not luxurious, but clean and comfortable.

Nowadays, it's easy to play in the Enshi Grand Canyon with the ground cable car and the canyon ropeway, especially the canyon ropeway, which is 2266 meters long with a vertical drop of 792 meters between the upper and lower stations, offering a bird's-eye view of the ten-thousand-meter cliff gallery, waterfalls, peaks, and deep gorges, saving time and effort for a trip with parents, allowing you to fully enjoy the scenery.
♥️ Enshi Qingjiang ——
Qingjiang is the mother river of the Enshi people, and it is also the river that the 'sister' in one of the 'World Folk Songs,' 'Dragon Boat Tune,' wants to cross. It is not only full of stories but also has a high 'face value'! Overlooking it is like a blue ribbon, flowing clearly for eight hundred li. Qingjiang has three wonders (mountain road, Butterfly Cliff, Shuibuzhi), three gorges (Qianpu Gorge, Butterfly Gorge, Bawang Gorge), three resemblances (Jingyang Bridge, Reclining Buddha, Linjun Mountain), and three legends (Linjun Salt Pool Goddess story, Picking Up Son story, Duan Gong story); you can take a cruise on the Enshi Qingjiang, with both antique boats and large cruise ships available for choice. ⛵️Currently, the main boarding points are Hunshui River Wharf Visitor Center and Shuibuya Wharf Visitor Center.
♥️ Honghua Gorge Forest Peak Scenic Area ——
Located on the south bank of Qingjiang, it is one of the best observation points for Qingjiang's multi-level terraces. Taking the 'cross-river cableway,' you can look up at Hongyan Mouth and Honghua Stone Forest, overlook the Qingjiang River Valley, and also go ashore for a tour, immersing yourself in the beauty of Enshi.
♥️ Pingba Camp ——
With the largest primeval forest in western Hubei, this area is full of winding mountains, composed of elements such as ancient, strange, beautiful, quiet, and wild, creating a naturally pristine atmosphere. Taking Asia's largest V-shaped aerial cableway - Jigongshan Cableway, you can glide through the lush ancient forest, experiencing the feeling of 'sliding on treetops.' Another core scenic area of Pingba Camp - Sidong Gorge, is a very rare tunnel cluster landscape, which also contains the mysterious and ancient history and culture of the Tujia people, hence Sidong Gorge is also known as the 'Tujia Holy Land'.
🏠 Accommodation recommendation: Pingba Camp's special forest treehouse, the country's first forest-style all-wood villa hotel. Drawing on the principle of the Tujia stilted building, each villa is built in succession against the ancient trees, with the villas weaving above the ancient trees, living in the treetops, and enjoying the freshness after the rain in the empty mountains.
🍜 Food recommendation: Tujia oil tea soup, Zhangguanhezha, Tujia cured meat, Baiyang dried tofu, Shefan, Zhangguangjiao, Gexian rice, Fengtou ginger, Fubao mountain cress, and New Year meat.
