2025 Yuan'an Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

| I have always loved ancient villages. Explore the secluded ancient-style paradise in Hubei｜Photography and summer retreat📸✨ In the embrace of Hubei, there lies an ancient village untouched by the hustle and bustle of the world—Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley. It is like a gentle hermit, quietly waiting for every traveler's visit. Turning leisurely from the vastness of Baili Wild, just a short distance away, you step into this dreamy place for summer photography. 🌿【Ancient Charm of Green Mountains, Peaceful Time】 Surrounded by verdant mountains, this simple and tranquil village is gently embraced. The ancient wells from the Ming and Qing dynasties still flow slowly, the bell of Yangdong Xianyuan Temple seems to echo in the ears, the ancient military fortress of Yindong tells the stories of past wars, the Longfeng Temple on Longfeng Mountain watches the clouds roll by, and the 'Tongyi Gongjin' stele silently witnesses the vicissitudes of history. All of this is so well preserved, as if time has slowed down here. 🏡【Descendants of the Pang Clan, Primitive Charm】 In the village, the descendants of the Pang family have lived for generations. The smiles of the elderly are full of the gentleness of years. There is no city noise here, only the most simple rural life and authentic farmhouse dishes. If you want to stay overnight, the homestay, though not cheap (500+), offers a view outside the window that will make you feel it's worth every penny. Watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening, every moment is a cleansing of the soul. 🍽️【Accompanied by Food, Feast for the Taste Buds】 The farmhouse dishes in the bamboo forest are fresh and delicious; the delicacies in the Pang Mansion are even more memorable. And those cute children who accidentally enter the camera lens add a touch of fun and warmth to the journey. 🐾【Simple Folk Customs, Dogs Seeing Off】 The villagers here are simple and kind, even the dogs in the village are particularly hospitable. They wag their tails and welcome every visitor from afar in their unique way. When parting, their reluctant eyes seem to say, 'Welcome to come again.' 🍂【Scenery in All Seasons, Summer Retreat】 In summer, this is a cool place to escape the heat, with fresh peaches to pick; in spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom, in autumn, the forest is dyed in layers, and in winter, it is an elegant ink painting. No matter when you visit, you can harvest a different beauty. 📍【Travel Guide】 Navigate directly to Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley, it takes only one hour by car from Yichang city, with picturesque scenery along the way. If departing from Wuhan, it takes three hours by car, or you can choose a two-hour high-speed train to Yichang, then transfer to a taxi for one hour to reach. Come, let's step into this secluded paradise gently treated by time, capture those heartwarming moments with the camera, and let the soul truly rest and release in this pure land.

Hidden Yarlung Zangbo Grand Bend in Hubei🌿 Linglong Gorge in Yu'an, Yichang, Hubei, is truly a hidden stunning secret! Due to the construction of the Xuanmiao Reservoir dam, a unique landscape has been formed. This is a closed canyon composed of Ordovician limestone landforms over 400 million years old, with towering cliffs and jagged rocks. The more than 10-kilometer-long valley appears calm but actually has rushing waves, full of infinite mystery. There are more than 20 shallow areas, especially the nearly 90-degree Linglong Big Bend, which is thrilling and unique, known as the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Bend of Hubei.

I’ve long heard that Yichang Bailihuang is like a 21°C summer, a Miyazaki-esque summer—pleasant air, beautiful scenery, herds of cattle and sheep, plus horse shows, cloud coasters, grass sliding… Is it really like that? I took my kid there this week! Just got back, and here’s my take on the family-friendly experience: ✅️ Mornings and evenings are around 21°C. No AC needed at night—just a light cover for the kiddo. ✅️ Wear comfy sneakers! Bailihuang is huge. Shuttle buses connect the play zones, but you’ll still walk a bit after hopping off. ✅️ Midday sun can feel hot (sunscreen alert!), but shaded spots stay cool. Overall, it’s much cooler than Wuhan! **Pro itinerary**: - Early morning: Feed sika deer at the Deer Park → Head to the tent campsite for cloud coasters (a kid/parent fave!) and grass sliding. - Post-lunch: Catch the horse show at Cloud Horse Ranch → Stroll the forested trails (shady, breezy, Insta-worthy) with rope bridges and scenic views. - Pre-sunset: Feed cows and horses—photo ops galore! My city kid was thrilled to see real livestock. ✅️ **After dinner, the fun amps up!** Walk to the Family Square for sunset, then dive into the vibrant night scene: light displays, Sichuan face-changing shows, DJ sets, live concerts, laser shows, and even fire performances! Plus, there’s a kids’ power-play zone. Parents can unwind at the beer bar—we partied till 9:30 PM! ✅️ **Overnight options**: - Camp under the stars at the *Hawthorn Tree* romance spot (tent glamping = next-level cozy). ✅️ **Pro tips**: - Cloud seas aren’t daily—check forecasts. Post-rain days boost your chances. - Kid-friendly dining? No stress! Hawthorn Tree Hotel serves decent homestyle dishes (my picky eater loved their fresh veggies). - New wooden villas (with balconies!) are a kid-approved upgrade—only slightly pricier than the hotel but way comfier. 📍 **Yichang Bailihuang** 🚗 4hr drive from Wuhan 🚄 2hr high-speed rail to Yichang + 1hr shuttle to the resort

If you're gasping for breath in Wuhan's heatwave, escape to Bailihuang—a "natural air conditioner" atop the mountains of western Hubei. Here, you'll find cooler, more soothing air than any AC room, along with stories drifting from the Three Kingdoms era and the lingering tenderness of *Under the Hawthorn Tree*. 🌄 First, Understand Bailihuang: Why Is It Worth the Journey? Bailihuang is no ordinary grassland. Nestled in Yiling District, Yichang, with an average altitude of 1,200 meters, the folds of western Hubei's mountains unfold into a spectacle of "alpine grasslands"—blending the elegance of southern hills with the vastness of northern plains. Geography favors it as a summer retreat: average temperatures hover around 23°C in midsummer, with nights cool enough for a light blanket. Wind turbines spin along the ridges, and after rain, sea-like clouds roll over the grassy slopes, turning mountain peaks into "isolated fairy-tale islands." History adds depth: this land echoes the Three Kingdoms battles—where Zhang Fei once trained troops and Zhao Zilong rescued his lord at Changban Slope. Meanwhile, the filming of *Under the Hawthorn Tree* softened the rugged terrain with romance—the iconic hawthorn tree still waits on the slope for those seeking a nostalgic rendezvous. 📅 Two Days, One Night: Live a "Grassland Poem + Three Kingdoms Epic" 🌿 **Day 1: Chase Sunsets on the Slopes, Listen to Stories Under the Stars** - **Afternoon Arrival: Step into a Cool Oasis** A 4-hour drive from Wuhan (or a high-speed train to Yichang + 1-hour shuttle) brings you into a world of green—ride the cloud-piercing "Sky Chaser" coaster or splash down the glass water slide, both perfect urban stress-relievers. - **Under the Hawthorn Tree: Relive the Past** Head straight to the *Under the Hawthorn Tree* filming site. Yellow wildflowers blanket the slope around the tree, and winding paths resemble silver embroidery on a green carpet. Standing beneath it, you might almost hear Jingqiu and Lao San's whispers—even the breeze carries a tender nostalgia. - **Deer Park: A Dose of Cuteness Therapy** Sika deer with dew-kissed eyelashes gently lick your palm as you feed them biscuits (if lucky, you’ll spot wobbly-legged fawns chasing their moms—heart-meltingly adorable). - **Sunset & Fireworks: The Grassland’s Nighttime Feast** The "Ocean & Mountain Vows" viewpoint is ideal for sunset—golden-red wind turbines, churning clouds below, and air tinted orange. At night, beer aromas mingle with the breeze; lasers and fireworks explode under the stars, while the Milky Way cascades down the mountains. 🌅 **Day 2: From Sunrise to Three Kingdoms, Time-Travel Through the Day** - **Dawn Light: Catch the First Rays Kissing the Grass** Wake at first light to watch the sun leap from the sea of clouds, turning the grassland honey-gold—even your shadow glows. - **Changban Slope: Witness a Three Kingdoms Cavalry Battle** Don’t miss the *Changban Slope* live show! Warhorses neigh, banners flap, and actors gallop across the slope, reenacting Zhao Zilong’s heroic rescue—history comes alive (arrive 10 minutes early for front-row views of glinting armor). - **Glass Skywalk: Soak in the Panorama** From the glass bridge, the grassland resembles wind-rippled green silk, dotted with windmills, cabins, and deer parks—distant mountains frame the scene. - **Afternoon Return: Bring the Coolness Home** Lunch on local *kang potatoes* (crispy outside, fluffy inside—perfect with chili dip), then head back to the city, phone full of photos and clothes scented with grass. 💡 **Pro Tips: Fewer Hassles, More Magic** - **What to wear?** Shorts by day, but pack a light jacket—10°C drops at night! Grassland winds turn thin tees icy. - **Save energy?** Shuttles cover most grounds, but wear grippy sneakers for slopes (trust me, canvas shoes = slippery regrets). - **Weather hack?** Check forecasts—post-rain clouds amp up sunset filters. - **Sun & bug defense!** High-altitude UV is fierce (sunscreen + hat); grassy slopes host mosquitoes (repellent or become a "red envelope buffet"). 🏡 **Where to Stay? Sleep Inside the Scenery** - **Forest Cabins:** Wake to grasslands + windmills, birdsong, and privacy—ideal for couples or friends. - **Hawthorn Cloud Hotel:** Kid-friendly! Play areas + Yichang-style breakfast (kids adore the radish dumplings). - **Glamping Tents:** Unzip to starlight—midnight Milky Way views might make you stay forever. Bailihuang’s charm isn’t just its beauty—it’s chasing clouds on slopes, pondering under the hawthorn tree, and feeling history’s pulse in a Three Kingdoms battle. This summer, skip the AC prison. Let 23°C breezes whisper what "life’s true worth" feels like. 📍 **Address:** Bailihuang Alpine Grassland Tourist Area, Yichang, Hubei 🚗 **Transport:** 4h drive from Wuhan; or 2h high-speed train to Yichang + 1h shuttle.

Can't stand Wuhan's "steamer mode"? Escape to the high-altitude grasslands of Yichang's Bailihuang, where the 1,200-meter elevation acts as natural air conditioning. Sunny days are breezy, and evenings get so cool you'll need a jacket. After visiting last year, I couldn't resist returning this summer! 🌿 Must-do activities to fill your 24 hours 1. Frolic on alpine meadows Hills covered in yellow wildflowers—pitch a tent and watch the clouds roll by. Post-rain clear skies might even treat you to a sea of clouds (scream-worthy luck!). 2. Encounter pasture cows and sheep A newly discovered hidden gem! Watch cows graze lazily; snap a photo from afar and it’s like stepping into Xinjiang’s grasslands. Keep your distance and don’t disturb them~ 3. Visit the "Under the Hawthorn Tree" filming location The old hawthorn tree from the movie rustles in the wind—instant lead role in a pure romance drama (white dresses = perfect photo ops). 4. Pet deer + watch equestrian shows Feed carrots to sika deer at the deer park (they’ll gently lick your palm!). The Yunzhong Equestrian Center’s performances are electrifying—Mongolia’s Naadam Festival vibes without leaving Hubei! 5. Nighttime revelry is a must Every Friday and Saturday: bonfire parties + fireworks shows, featuring Mongolian dance, Sichuan face-changing, and DJ sets—nights here outshine the city’s hustle. 🚗 Getting there • Self-drive: 4 hours from Wuhan directly to "Yichang Bailihuang." • By train: Wuhan→Yichang East (2 hours), then take a direct bus from the station to the South Gate (1.5-hour ride).

Come to Bailihuang to tread meadows, chase clouds, and watch fireworks—who wouldn’t love 21°C bliss?

Cloud Sanctuary · Yuan'an Taipingding Forest Park Perched atop the mountains of Yuan'an, Hubei, lies the 1,325.1-meter-high "Hundred-Well Fairy Mountain" – Taipingding Forest Park. Over 90% of the land here is blanketed by forests, with 4,487 cubic meters of timber reserves forming a green treasure trove. Eleven registered ancient trees, along with rare species like ginkgo and Cyclocarya paliurus, weave together a vibrant natural tapestry. 🌿 Nature's Bounty: A Feast of Wonders in the Forest Sea Poetic Growth of Unique Pines and Trees - The white-barked pine clinging to the cliffside stone pillar gleams like silver armor, shimmering with golden light under the morning sun. Locals call it the "Shining Pine," as if it were fragments of stars left behind by mountain spirits. - The 120-year-old Bashan pine stands straight as a sword, its rugged branches casting deep shade, quietly recounting tales of time. - The round-winged nuts of Cyclocarya paliurus dangle in clusters, swaying like copper coins in the breeze, adding a lively charm to the mountain forest. Ever-Changing Cloud Theater The mountaintop is perpetually shrouded in mist, sometimes dancing like sheer silk, other times surging like angry waves. At dawn, when the red sun breaks through the sea of clouds, a cascade of golden light bathes the peaks, creating a visual spectacle. In winter, snow settles on branches, forming frost flowers that adorn the forest, transforming the entire mountain into a crystal-clear fairy tale world. 📜 Cultural Imprints: Millennia-Old Legends in the Fairy Mountain's Depths This was once a sacred land where Buddhism and Taoism coexisted, with the incense of "Nine Nunneries and Eighteen Temples" wafting through the mountains. Though ancient sites like the Old Temple and Taiping Temple have mostly faded into history, strolling along the stone steps of "First Heavenly Gate," "Second Heavenly Gate," and "Third Heavenly Gate," one can still touch the religious imprints of the past. The legends of Ziyang Cave linger in the mountains, casting a mysterious veil over every rock and breeze. 🏡 Poetic Dwelling: A Holiday Hidden in the Forest Accommodation: Sleeping with Nature Taipingding Forest Resort Hotel blends luxury into the forest sea – chic villas nestle among the trees, offering views of rolling green peaks through every window. Cliffside wooden cabins perch on the mountain's edge, where nights are filled with the whispers of wind and pines, and mornings greet you with clouds cradled in your arms. Palate: The Freshness of Mountain Flavors The hotel's restaurant follows seasonal ingredients, turning forest-raised free-range chicken and high-mountain vegetables into authentic local delicacies under the chef's skilled hands. Every bite is a gift from nature. Leisure: Wild Adventures in the Forest - In the forest craft workshop, find a piece of wood or a leaf to create your own natural keepsake; - Sit awhile at the cloud-top bar, sipping a drink infused with mountain breeze, watching the sunset kiss the peaks; - The oxygen-rich trails wind through the forest, each step filled with negative ions; - Camping barbecues, team-building activities, outdoor weddings... Here, time slows down, allowing you to truly connect with the forest. The beauty of Taipingding is the first ray of sunlight piercing the sea of clouds at dawn, a gentle breeze under ancient pines, an echo of legends. Come here, let your body and soul return to nature, and find a long-lost peace in this cloud-capped sanctuary. 🌄
