    It's worth going in for a stroll. The Four Seasons Archway gives you a sense of traveling back in time. The statue of Yue Fei is solemn and dignified, exuding a righteous spirit. Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower allows you to feel the presence of our ancestors from that era...

    The museum is free, just need to make a reservation. We arrived an hour before closing time, so it was very rushed, but the advantage was that we didn't have to queue to see the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue; we could just walk in. Unfortunately, we missed the chime bell performance. The gold artifacts of King Liangzhuang were absolutely stunning. We also managed to buy the souvenirs we wanted before closing time!

    Enshi Grand Canyon: a geological epic within a karst wonderland. Deep sinkholes, winding fissures, sheer cliffside corridors hanging from the mountains, and dove trees blooming like white doves taking flight. Walking through the canyon, you'll find yourself unwittingly entering a "natural museum of karst topography."

    Everyone is chasing the sunrise at the Golden Summit, but Taoist thought tells me that the most beautiful sunrise will be found where I am at the right time, in the right place, and in the right mood. I happened to see it from the small hilltop east of Nanyan Palace.

    The cruise offered stunning views of the high gorges and tranquil lake, perfect for taking photos. The ship was clean and tidy, and the service was warm and attentive. They even provided complimentary green tea and snacks. It was a very satisfying trip.

    Overall, it was a good experience. The Harmony cruise ship was probably the best for the Three Gorges Dam tour. The itinerary was well-designed; we boarded at the passenger terminal, first passing the Gezhouba Dam to experience the rising water level, then the Three Gorges Dam to experience the ship lift. Along the way, we passed classic scenic spots like the Xiling Gorge and the Three Gorges Family. The overall route was well-designed. After visiting the Three Gorges Dam, we returned by bus. The only drawback was that this VIP tour was served in a regular 45-seat bus, and the bus was in poor condition and not very clean. Hopefully, they can improve the related services.

    This was my first time visiting this place. I've been to the city many times before. The transportation is convenient, the scenery is beautiful, and there were many cyclists. The foreign guys were so handsome! Riding the sightseeing bus was so pleasant. There were many people, but it wasn't crowded. The water was very clean. It was a pity that the tunnel was closed. I will definitely go again next time I have the chance.

    I visited Shennongjia in December. Although it was the off-season and the scenery wasn't as stunning as in autumn and summer, I must say the Shennongjia Scenic Area was truly excellent. A 5-day, 6-attraction combo ticket for only 150 yuan was incredibly reasonable. The accommodations at Muyu and Dajiuhu were both good. The road to Shenlongding was icy and snowy, so I bought snow chains for the first time. I visited Shenlongtan, Guanmenshan, and Dajiuhu once each, but I visited Shenlongding three times because… it was simply too beautiful.

    Yichang is definitely a hidden gem of a tourist city in Hubei. During the May Day holiday, a road trip along the G348 Three Gorges Geological Highway offered breathtaking scenery all the way. The Three Gorges Family Scenic Area is an absolute must-see, with its magnificent gorges, clear waters, and the unique Tujia ethnic minority performances of the traditional wedding lament and boat tracker demonstrations. These live performances set against the backdrop of the mountains and rivers create a truly immersive experience! Highly recommended! 👍

    It's a highlight of Enshi tourism, but unfortunately the journey is too long. It takes 6 hours to travel to and from Enshi city by bus, and 3 hours to visit the scenic spot. The entrance fee is also expensive, so it's not cost-effective unless you have a special fondness for that small boat.
