My recent trip to China was an amazing experience. From the beautiful city views to the rich culture and delicious food, everything exceeded my expectations. The transportation system was efficient, and using apps for taxis, translation, and maps made getting around much easier. People were generally kind and helpful, even with the language barrier.
The Tianmen Cave scenic area is quite nice, but the other attractions on the mountain aren't particularly impressive. The cable car was closed, so we ended up walking an extra hour unnecessarily. The mountain signs are very unclear, making it easy to get lost. The Tianmen Mountain Temple at the summit has a long history, having been rebuilt in 1999. It's quite large, and the plaza in front of the temple is beautiful!

If you're not a young, active traveler, and your physical fitness is average, you're not too concerned about cost-effectiveness, and you don't need to see all the attractions, I recommend two days. Of course, arriving a day earlier and staying near the East Gate is ideal.
On the first day, it's best to arrive before 8 am to avoid tour groups. The mountain attractions include Tianzi Mountain, Laowuchang, Yangjiajie, and Yuanjiajie. I strongly suggest only visiting Laowuchang and Yuanjiajie. Tianzi Mountain has too many tour groups, resulting in a poor experience. Yangjiajie requires a hike to and from Wulong Mountain Village, and while the scenery is beautiful, it's nearly 5 kilometers and can be physically challenging. The reason for choosing Laowuchang is simple: fewer people and a superior experience. Yuanjiajie is the essence of the experience and a must-see. The first day's attractions cover the highlights of the mountain; the next day will cover the highlights of both the upper and lower sections.
On the second day, choosing the Ten-Mile Gallery and Golden Whip Stream is sufficient. For the Ten-Mile Gallery, it's best to hike in and then take the mini-train out. This avoids the crowds, as most tourists choose to take the train, resulting in long queues. The walking experience is far superior to the train ride. You could consider taking the train to save energy. There are many monkeys in Jinbian Stream, and the one-way trip is 5 kilometers, so there's no need to walk the whole way.
Be advised, it’s a whole days non stop walking/ travelling. There’s a lot of walking to do and lots of shuttle buses to catch which is included in the price. I went in July and it was mega HOT HOT so choose wisely and stay hydrated. I had a tour guide who knew the whole national park and I’m glad I chose one because without it I definitely would have gotten lost. it’s worth it, it’s huge and seeing the avatar mountain was simply surreal

"Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower to Reflect on the Past" By Me The Yellow Crane Tower reflects the flowing Yangtze River, The river flows gently, the Yellow Crane roams freely. Who rode the Yellow Crane a thousand years ago? Only the crane's cry remains, echoing through the ages.
By the white clouds, I drink wine, thinking of Li Bai. Cui Hao, amidst the misty waves of the river, felt sorrow. Now, the landscape truly resembles a painting; let us invite sages and worthies to climb the tower together once more.
It's worth a visit if you haven't been before. The view of the Yangtze River Bridge from the Yellow River Tower is breathtaking, and there's even a green train coming from the north bank of the river, which is quite interesting. East Lake is huge! I took a boat ride around it.

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.
Our tour guide, Chen Yao, was very professional. She provided detailed explanations of the museum's treasures and arranged the route reasonably. With so many visitors today, she saved us a lot of time.

Walking through the Qixingzhai Scenic Area, you'll often see local villagers setting up stalls along the roadside, selling things like potatoes and glutinous rice cakes. I bought a roasted potato, held it piping hot in my hands, and ate it with the mountain breeze, finding it even better than the most exquisite delicacies.
Take the cable car to Qixingzhai, and after a few minutes' walk, you'll reach the cliffside walkway. This walkway is embedded in the cliff face, appearing from a distance like a thin thread suspended in mid-air. Looking down from the railing, the deep valley is chilling. I walked close to the rock face, hearing my own heartbeat echoing the mountain wind. On the opposite cliff, several maple trees were a vibrant red.

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."
Renowned as one of the three famous towers in Jiangnan, this tower boasts a long history and profound cultural heritage. Its inspiring philosophy and famous saying, "Be the first to worry about the world's troubles and the last to enjoy its pleasures," remain deeply ingrained in our minds today. A truly remarkable tourist attraction.

Many people say that the Seventy-Two Mysterious Towers is very commercialized, and there are indeed many shops, but there are still some performances worth seeing. After all, there is no service without profit. Eating, drinking and watching performances inside is quite nice. When you travel, you should discover and appreciate beauty in order to achieve the desired effect of travel!
Compared to other scenic spots in Zhangjiajie, the price is relatively cheap. We chose the night session, which featured continuous performances and offered a strong sense of participation. It drizzled that night, but the people were still very enthusiastic, the scenery was beautiful, and the performances were quite impressive. However, two performances were only allowed outside the main gate, and those inside couldn't see them; if you wanted to, you could only see their backs, which felt rather strange.

It's definitely worth a visit. Must-sees include the Golden Roof, the Dragon Head, and the Hall of Fortune. If you have plenty of energy, you can climb up; if you're short on time, taking the cable car will save you a lot of time.
Currently, Wudang Mountain offers different discounts on tickets on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, making it a great time for tourists to visit. The attractions are diverse: in addition to famous sites such as the Golden Summit, Taizipo, and Zixiao Palace, Xiaoyao Valley is home to lively macaques, and Nanyan Palace boasts the thrilling Dragon Head Incense Burner. Each attraction has its unique charm, catering to the needs of different tourists.

Located by the river, there's a small park downstairs with trampolines and slides for kids. Parking is free and quite convenient. The latex mattress is very comfortable, and the environment is quite nice.
Of course, a visit to the Three Gorges Dam is a must for a national monument. My self-driving trip took just over three hours, and I wasn't pressed for time. The route was pretty good, but you had to get off at each stop and go to the transfer center to get to the next one. You couldn't skip any you didn't want to see, which was a bit inconvenient. The best parking spot is P1, which is closest to the visitor center.

The story of entrusting an orphan to Baidi City has been passed down through the ages, and the Yanhuidui in Kuimen, Qutang Gorge of the Yangtze River is also well-known. With its natural scenery, cultural history, spectacular views, and wonderful exhibitions, it is one of the most worthwhile attractions in Fengjie. There is a direct bus from the high-speed rail station to the scenic area gate. After crossing the river, some scenic spots are connected to the top of the Three Gorges, which can be visited together.
The scenery was beautiful, but the weather wasn't ideal, with wind and rain. It started raining and blowing as soon as we entered the area. Since we were traveling light, we had to go back to the car to get an umbrella, tell the staff. The area is worth a visit, but the signage isn't very clear. For example, the boat ride directions are listed on the ticket, but there's no signage or explanation inside the area, which isn't very convenient for individual tourists, especially the elderly, unless they can understand the map.
