The scenic area is quite large and generally quite fun to see. However, the overall cost of the entrance ticket plus the cable car is relatively high, especially the mini-train, which is the least cost-effective, costing 38 yuan for only 1.5 kilometers.
I bought a Line A ticket, but unfortunately the cable car to the upper station was under construction, so I could only go to the middle station. From there, I took an eco-friendly bus to Tianmen Cave Square and climbed 999 steps. However, the steps were relatively gentle, so it wasn't too difficult for me. I spent the whole day exploring both the east and west lines. The scenery was beautiful, and Yunmeng Xianding is a great spot to watch the sunset – it's spectacular!

Zhangjiajie, world-renowned, certainly has something special, especially the misty, cloud-shrouded scenery while climbing. This unique landscape is mesmerizing. After crossing the Natural Bridge, looking back reveals that this naturally formed giant stone cave has only a thin layer of mist covering it. Looking at it from afar, one can only marvel at the wonders of creation; I hadn't noticed it at all when I was walking through! 😂 The mountains and valleys are like two different worlds, making a trip to Zhangjiajie quite strenuous. One day is spent admiring the mountain scenery and sea of clouds, and the other day is spent traversing streams and canyons – a truly wonderful experience!
Buying this package on Ctrip was very convenient; the price was the same as the official price on the official WeChat account, and changing the flight time was also easy on the official WeChat account. We spent two full days there, buying a four-trip ticket (three cable cars and one elevator). We didn't go to Yangjiajie but went to Huangshizhai. If you don't backtrack, the four-trip ticket is just right.

I booked this hotel for my elderly family members. They stayed in a deluxe king-size bed on the tenth floor, and they said it was excellent—the breakfast and service were both great. That's why I'm writing this genuine review. Thank you to the hotel for taking such good care of the elderly! It was truly wonderful, and being so close to the Yellow Crane Tower, you can definitely see the night view of the tower.
A landmark building in Wuhan with a rich cultural heritage, offering insights into history. It's not too crowded at this time of year, and from the top you can enjoy panoramic views of Wuhan's three districts. It's definitely worth a visit.

One of the three famous towers in Jiangnan, it's definitely worth a visit! It's best to climb the tower in the afternoon so you can wait until sunset and experience the beautiful scenery of the sunset glow and wild geese flying together, and the autumn water blending with the sky.
I visited Tengwang Pavilion three times in one day, coming to Nanchang just to witness its splendor! One of the four famous towers, Tengwang Pavilion is built along the river, offering a panoramic view of the Gan River! The architectural style is based on Mr. Liang Sicheng's design, imitating the Song Dynasty, and it's so beautiful.

I booked a guided tour and a chime bell performance a day in advance. The guide, Xiao Tang (Tang Xia), provided a very detailed explanation; I felt like two hours wasn't enough. Also, the seats for the chime bell performance were excellent. A very enjoyable museum trip.
The Hubei Provincial Museum houses over 240,000 artifacts, including nearly 1,000 pieces of national first-class cultural relics. As of February 2023, it occupies a total land area of 85,000 square meters and a total building area of 114,000 square meters, of which 36,000 square meters are exhibition space. The museum is laid out as a south and north building, with two independent east and west exhibition halls. Among its artifacts are the Zeng Hou Yi chime bells, the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, and the Tiger-shaped Drum Stand.

The scenic area was restored in 1983. From Yueyang Tower, you can see Dongting Lake. A visit takes about two hours. Outside the south gate, there's a commercial street where you can stroll around and then walk to the Houyi Shooting Eight Demons exhibit.
Yueyang Tower, one of the three famous towers south of the Yangtze River, stands on the shore of Dongting Lake. Leaning on its railing, one can see the vast expanse of Dongting Lake stretching for miles, its waters and sky blending seamlessly into the autumn sky. The tower's upturned eaves reflect the flowing clouds and soaring birds, seemingly still echoing Fan Zhongyan's timeless words, "Be the first to worry about the world's troubles, and the last to enjoy its pleasures."

Wugong Mountain is truly beautiful; the alpine meadows are absolutely gorgeous, especially under the sunlight. Buying cable car tickets through Ctrip is super convenient! Going down the mountain can be tough on your knees, so I highly recommend taking the cable car down!
Taken on November 15, 2025. I've never seen such a clear sky, paired with orange-yellow grass—it's a different kind of beauty. I challenged myself, climbing from the Pingxiang side for the first time. I started climbing at 8:05 AM and reached the Golden Summit at 11:30 AM. It took an hour to circle the entire area around the base of the Golden Summit. At 12:30 PM, I set off for the glass walkway, but it ended after a short walk. I continued on, and by 1:30 PM, I was about 1000 meters from the Starry Sky Outdoor Campsite—exactly an hour later. When I saw a sign saying the Starry Sky Outdoor Campsite was one kilometer away, I panicked a little. I thought continuing straight ahead would allow me to circle back to the Golden Summit, but a quick online search revealed that wasn't possible. I quickly turned back, knowing I'd gone a long way and it would take a lot of time to get back. I needed to catch the bus back to the visitor center by 5:30 PM. I thought the buses stopped running at 5:30 PM, but after checking, I discovered the shuttle bus runs until midnight on Saturdays. It took about 20 minutes to get back to the glass walkway entrance. After resting for a while, it was already 2:33 PM when I reached the foot of the mountain. Incredibly, I arrived at the base around 4 PM, just in time to catch the bus. That means the descent took an hour and a half. It proves that fast is slow, and slow is fast. My only regret is not staying overnight at the summit; I heard the starry sky is especially beautiful there.

I loved every bit of it. The whole setting including the construction and architecture, the variety of shows, the exhibition, the food. Highly recommended.

The scenery was indeed beautiful and magnificent; it was well worth the trip, and I would love to come back! The service at the scenic area was excellent, and the routes were suitable for all ages, with both challenging and easy options. There were plenty of places to buy water, and the area was clean with minimal littering. However, I was surprised to find factories nearby, with several large chimneys standing around, which must be polluting the air.
Our family was stunned when we climbed Gaoyiling! This wasn't just a mountain, it looked like a giant red dragon lying on the water. The kids excitedly pointed and said it looked like a dinosaur's back. I was taking pictures on the dragon's spine walkway, my legs were shaking a little, the scenery was so breathtaking!

Mount Heng, one of the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains in the south, is a must-climb. It's so beautiful, and you can even see a sea of clouds. It's tiring but joyful. There are many temples along the way, so you can visit them as you walk.
The hiking trails are closed, and hikers can only take the Bailongtan road, which is a poor experience. The buses down the mountain only run until 5:30 PM. After that, you can only take private cars that are soliciting passengers on the roadside to get down the mountain.
