Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is very big. We chose the East Gate B Line and took the Bailong Elevator first. To be honest, the ascent was really average. Then we went to Yuanjiajie and checked in at the Avatar filming location. Then we went to Yangjiajie and Tianzi Mountain, but they were very average. We waited in line for an hour and a half to take the cable car down the mountain. Bad review!
⛰️While there's no need for much mountain climbing during a visit to Zhangjiajie, you'll still be walking around 20,000 steps daily. We visited Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, Sky Garden, and Tianzi Mountain in that order. I'd especially like to visit Sky Garden. You'll need to take a scenic electric car to get there, but I personally think it's well worth it. The view of the Bailong Elevator across the way is stunning from this vantage point. You can slowly descend the steps to the scenic plank road, where you can literally have the entire mountain to yourself.
⛰️The mountain's climate fluctuates, so bring a raincoat. Be prepared for rain or shine.
⛰️Visiting Zhangjiajie, I marveled at the wonders of nature, its unique landscapes, and its endless beauty, leaving a lasting impression.

The current Yellow Crane Tower, completed in 1985, sits on the banks of the Yangtze River. Every floor offers panoramic views of the city. Inside, there are large murals and a model of the tower. The entire scenic area is vast, allowing you to stroll around for an hour or two. As one of the Four Great Towers, it's a must-see when visiting Wuhan.
It's a bit tasteless. We went there at night. To be honest, it was very average. The performance was also very short. I brought my children here, so it would be a pity not to go. After entering, I felt it was very tasteless. The price did not match the attraction. I thought there were four performances, which would be pretty good. As a result, I could only laugh at this performance. The elevator cost ten yuan per person to go upstairs, and the same applies to children. The important thing is that you can only take the elevator up after paying, not down, and you can only go downstairs by yourself. If I didn't have a herniated disc and my back hurt, I really wouldn't spend money to accompany my children. It's too unfair.

Mr. Tang's explanations were very thorough, and I could truly feel his heartfelt love for Hunan. The exquisite lacquerware and silk fabrics are rare in other museums, and I was truly enlightened.
We missed out on the free museum entrance, so we booked it through Ctrip the night before. The staff was incredibly helpful, contacting us immediately after 11 PM. The next day, we were escorted directly into the museum without having to wait in line. The staff's explanations were excellent, and it was definitely worth it.

Maybe it was summer vacation so there were more people there. The square was packed with people to watch the light show and climb to the top of Tengwang Pavilion. The corridor was quite hot, so the elderly and children could take the elevator.
Watching the performance in Tengwang Pavilion, a thousand-year performing arts grand prize, the light show and the pavilion are the same color, showing the atmosphere of Hongfu Xindu. The light show is worth recommending, but the scenic area service and signboards have not kept up. The route to the pavilion has changed at night. Tourists have been queuing for half an hour without anyone directing them. No one explained and guided them to the right side of the pavilion.

I really like this set of travel. When I put it on, it happened to catch the sunset and took a lot of beautiful photos. I didn't have any thoughts during the whole trip and no one advertised. It was very comfortable.
Orange Island overlooks Yuelu Mountain to the west and Changsha City to the east. Surrounded by water, it stretches for 5 kilometers, measuring about 40 meters across at its narrowest point and 140 meters wide at its widest point, with a maximum width of just over 300 meters. Its long and narrow shape resembles a dragon. Its most famous feature is the magnificent stone statues of great men.

The Lushan Sightseeing Bus offers a convenient and comfortable way to explore the mountains, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the stunning scenery. The buses are clean and tidy, the drivers are attentive, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking. A bus tour of Lushan Mountain not only saves effort but also allows for a more comprehensive appreciation of the scenery, making it an unforgettable experience.
The Lushan Cableway soars like a giant dragon among the mountains. Riding it, you feel as if you're in the clouds, overlooking the rolling hills and lush greenery. The ride is smooth and fast, allowing you to experience the grandeur of nature in comfort. This trip to Lushan was an unforgettable experience, saving energy while enjoying the mountain scenery. It's truly an excellent choice for exploring Lushan.

Many people take photos while traveling here. The scenery at night is quite beautiful and it is a place worth checking out. It is recommended to buy a ticket to go in and take a look. The ticket is more than ten yuan, which is still okay and not expensive!
The ticket for Du Fu Jiangge is 40 yuan. The lighting ceremony opens at 8 pm. Du Fu performs a talent show of reciting poems and writing couplets. The scene is very shocking. There are many programs and the atmosphere is high. If you come to Changsha, Hunan, you must come here to check in to understand history and understand Du Fu. The environment is good and the environment is good for taking pictures. It is definitely worth it.

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.
The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island. This is the best place to view the Yangtze River and the three towns of Wuhan. The Yuji Palace itself has a long history, but the scenic area is too small and too single, resulting in a tour time of only about an hour. In short, except for the lack of content, it is worth recommending.

Going in the morning when the park opens was the right decision. We missed the crowds at every point, and seeing the cultural relics up close was quite stunning. After a tiring day, listening to the chime performance was very nice! The entire itinerary followed the pace of our guide, Shang, and was very comfortable. The explanations were also very interesting, making it a worthwhile trip for children.
The Hubei Provincial Museum is truly one of the top ten museums. Its grandeur and splendor are truly remarkable. Each rare treasure is truly captivating. Guide Shang's gentle explanations bring each treasure to life, allowing children to gain a deeper understanding of ancient culture. The final chime performance was breathtaking, offering a glimpse into the essence of an ancient symphony.

Not many people visit, and it's still underdeveloped. Admission is free if you recite the Yueyang Tower Inscription.
The weather was beautiful and sunny.
The breeze by the river was refreshing, making it worth a thorough visit.
The weather was very hot, but the scenery was beautiful. There was history, scenery, and what I read in books and felt with my heart. It was not bad. Worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world.
