A very nice scenic spot. The poem "An old friend bids farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, heading down to Yangzhou in the third month of spring" perfectly describes the trip from Yangzhou to Wuhan. It was a great trip, I had a lot of fun, and I'd love to come back again.
Many people choose to visit at night, but I personally think visiting the Yellow Crane Tower on a clear day is much more interesting; the area near the West Gate is great for taking photos. Zhang Fei Square is less popular but still has many photogenic spots. The Poetry Stele Corridor is also well worth seeing.

A group of four drove up Laojun Mountain and parked at the Yunjing Cableway parking lot. We entered the visitor center at 12:30 PM. Having purchased our tickets online in advance, we quickly boarded the cableway, making our ascent to the summit and enjoying the stunning scenery. Details are as follows:
Itinerary
- Ascent: First, take the Yunjing Cableway (approximately 10 minutes) directly to Zhongtianmen. Then, transfer to the Fenglin Cableway (approximately 5 minutes) to the entrance of the Ten-Li Painting Screen. Walk through the Fairyland Tunnel and along a section of the Ten-Li Painting Screen (a typical walk of about an hour), enjoying the scenic views along the way. Climb to the Golden Temple. Only bring water and chocolate with you on the mountain. Wear windproof clothing or a down jacket.
- Descent: At 6:15 PM, after taking photos at the Golden Summit, we quickly descended the same way we came. First, take the second-level cableway (Fenglin Cableway), waiting in line for about 20 minutes. Then, take the first-level cableway (Yunjing Cableway), where the line was shorter.
I've climbed many mountains in China, and Laojun Mountain ranks highly in my mind. Its natural scenery is beautiful, and I can describe it as "beautiful." The five peaks (Fu, Lu, Shou, Xi, and Cai) are majestic, grand, and spectacular. The climb isn't difficult.

History and cultural heritage are precious treasures left to us by our ancestors. They are the crystallization of the wisdom and hard work of the ancient working people. So many exquisite cultural relics can make people feel excited and proud of China's five thousand years of cultural heritage.
A worthwhile trip! I finally saw the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, which I'd been longing to see!
A huge thank you to our guide today, Ms. Yu Chengfang! She's incredibly knowledgeable! Her explanations were lively and engaging.
She was also very considerate of us throughout the trip!
I'd love to bring my kids here again sometime.

Yueyang Tower is easily accessible; it's a 12-kilometer, 30-minute taxi ride from Yueyang East Railway Station. Stamp collectors should bring a notebook; there are 26 stamps to collect throughout the scenic area, distributed across various smaller attractions. Xiao Qiao's Tomb is also located there. Climbing Yueyang Tower offers panoramic views of Dongting Lake. Literature enthusiasts can explore the various exhibition halls to gain a deeper understanding of the classic poem, "The Yueyang Tower Inscription."
The scenic area is not large, but Yueyang Tower is a "three-dimensional history book" that requires quiet contemplation. Its appeal lies not in the entertainment projects, but in the immersive cultural experience and spiritual resonance it provides.

Yes, I checked the weather forecast, and it said it would clear up, and indeed, it was sunny when I went.
However, the fog on the mountain never dissipated. We were following the classic route, starting in the morning and going to Taizipo, Xiaoyao Valley, Zixiao Palace, Nanyan, Nanyan Palace, Mingshendao, the First, Second, and Third Gates, and the Golden Summit. When we reached Nanyan Palace, we realized we had to backtrack and climb again to the Golden Summit. Time was tight, and the fog was getting thicker, making it impossible to see the path ahead. The climb up a very steep staircase was exhausting; by the time we finally reached the Golden Summit, we were soaked in sweat, and our hair was frosted. We finally arrived at the Golden Summit at 4 pm, but unfortunately, it was so foggy that we couldn't see the summit's scenery, the magnificent sunset, or the sea of clouds. We took the cable car down, and all we knew was that the cable car line was very steep, but it was all shrouded in fog. I didn't get to experience all the beautiful scenery, but after climbing and paying my respects, I had a great experience. There's a really ancient cliffside building near Nanyan Palace that's definitely worth seeing, though you have to backtrack, and the weather wasn't great either. Finally, be sure to drink the ginger soup at the Golden Summit to warm yourself up!
The fairy mountain... the golden summit and sea of clouds are magnificent. The path down the mountain is also okay, but I prefer the quiet and clean Xiaoyao Valley! The ticket allows you to play for three days and includes shuttle bus, but most people only stay for one or two days. However, there are a few drivers who are quite aggressive!

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 independent travel itinerary was very flexible. Although it was quite far from the Three Gorges Dam, we were able to visit the beautiful Xiling Gorge, making up for the shortcomings of a cruise trip through the Three Gorges. We also got to pass through the Gezhouba Dam lock – fantastic!
The Two Dams and One Gorge boat tour is definitely worth a try, but the guide was less than satisfactory. First, the timing. My parents and I arrived at the visitor center early, but the guide was nowhere to be found. We texted but didn't get a response, and we called to wait at the agreed time. The tour guide was told to arrive 10 minutes early, but my parents and I arrived over 20 minutes early to avoid being late, and the guide didn't show up! After boarding the boat, there were no free seats available, so we paid for an upgrade, which was fine. However, during the group bus tour, the guide was also talking, but I couldn't hear anything. The guide's voice was hoarse and difficult to hear throughout the tour, and I felt like my throat was sore. It's understandable that service isn't easy, but we paid about 300 yuan per person for a full-price ticket to the Three Gorges, and the tour company assigned us a guide with discounted service. This really tarnished the reputation of the Three Gorges River and One Gorge tour. I hope Ctrip will improve its selection of travel agencies in future partnerships! Don't tarnish their reputation!

There were too many people during the National Day holiday, and the sightseeing bus had to wait for a long time, which made the time a bit rushed. The scenery of Luoyan Island is very beautiful, the tickets are not expensive, and the children's playground is also suitable for children. It is no problem to stay there for a whole day on a leisurely weekend.
Donghu Lake is divided into many scenic areas, where you can ride a bicycle or take a sightseeing bus. The scenery is very pleasant, but the number of sightseeing buses is in short supply during holidays, so you have to wait for a long time. Moreover, pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles are all on the same road, so safety needs to be improved!

Autumn in Tianyan is definitely worth a visit; the colorful forests and mist are stunning. For Shennong Valley, it's recommended to enter from the Fengjingya entrance, as there are more viewing platforms there. If you're short on time or energy, you can walk to viewing platform number 4 and then turn back. Shennongding is mostly for taking photos and checking in, so it's extremely crowded. The scenery of Tianqiao is concentrated in the first half, but fortunately, the scenic area isn't large, so a quick walk around is fine. Guanmenshan is great for seeing pandas and giant salamanders. Shennongtan offers performances. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit Dajiuhu due to road closures.
The combined ticket is valid for 5 days. To see all the attractions in Shennongding Scenic Area (not just checking off the sights), you'll need 2 days. Guanmenshan, Tianqiao, and Shennongtan can all be visited in one day. Tianyan is quite far; you can leisurely explore the scenic area in 4 hours.
In short, the scenery is beautiful, and there are many mountain roads, making it suitable for those who aren't novice drivers, whether driving themselves or hiring a car. Note that some attractions in Shennongding Scenic Area have separate entrances and exits, requiring someone to walk to retrieve the car. 😹
Our timing wasn't ideal. It had rained for a while beforehand, and the roads to Dajiuhu were damaged, making it inaccessible. The autumn colors we were really looking forward to weren't at their peak; some leaves had already fallen, and others hadn't turned red yet! A bit of a disappointment.

I went during the National Day holiday, and the scenery was beautiful. Getting up early gave me a unique perspective; the misty atmosphere made it feel like a fairyland. The air was fresh, and I was in a good mood! It's just a shame I didn't have enough energy to visit Bawang Village.
The Three Gorges Family is a great place worth visiting. There are Tujia performances and you can experience the Batu folk culture. Longjin Creek is even more beautiful. It is full of green, green mountains and bamboos, and the gurgling river water is also green and clear. I really like this place! It is as beautiful as a picture scroll.
