Things to do in Yangxin

Xian Island Lake is hailed as "the most wondrous lake in Hubei," with its thousands of islands scattered like pearls. The core experience involves ascending to the "Sky City" glass observation deck for panoramic views, followed by a boat trip among the islands. It's recommended to allocate half a day and choose one or two routes for island exploration; a clear day is ideal.

Drive to the Yellowstone Maple Grove's Grand Canyon. Park your car directly at the scenic area ticket office, saving you the hassle of traveling. From the ticket office, a 15-minute walk, accompanied by the forest breeze and the chirping of birds, will take you to the Magic Carpet. For a lazy and effortless ride, the Magic Carpet's gentle ascent is a great option. For a more down-to-earth experience, hike along the asphalt road that runs parallel to the Magic Carpet, enjoying the lush greenery along the way. After the Magic Carpet ride, it's another 6-minute walk to the cave entrance's secondary ticket gate. Tell us your shoe size, and you'll receive your waders and helmets instantly. Children will also receive adorable onesies, like exclusive gear for your exploration. As soon as you step into the canyon, the summer heat is left behind, and a refreshing coolness washes over you, accompanied by a moist air. However, this coolness can be quite persistent; if you stay too long, a slight chill can seep through your clothes, becoming a pleasant little nuisance in the height of summer. The stream beneath my feet is a flowing poem, so clear that I can see the gravel and swaying water plants at the bottom. As I trekked barefoot upstream, the cool water washed over my ankles, instantly dissipating much of the summer heat. While waders are practical, they can cause some heel pain after wearing them for a while. Preparing soft insoles will make your steps lighter. The canyon's karst caves hold secrets dating back eons, with the outlines of stalactites looming in the dim light. For those fascinated by geology, a powerful flashlight will reveal the texture of the rock layers and the traces of time wherever the beam passes, each pattern like a diary written by the earth. This journey to the center of the earth offers both the gift of coolness and the wonders of nature. Even the tiny imperfections become vivid footnotes in my later reflections.

The cave is cool, fun, and full of fun. The staff at the scenic spot are super nice. My husband found that his car keys were lost in the parking lot. He went to the monitoring room to check, and then called the staff of the project we had played to inquire. Finally, the staff in charge of rafting found it in a pile of plastic clothes. It was really touching. I give a thumbs up to the scenic spot and the staff 👍👍👍

Great! The facilities inside are all new, and there are lots of fun things to do without spending extra money. There's also a beach, and the kids played there all day.

The scenery was quite nice, with waterfalls, a glass walkway, and the "Dripping Dream" scenic spot for photos. The "Warrior Rafting" before the main rafting trip was also good, but the time was too short. However, it allowed you to raft directly under the waterfall, experiencing the spectacular sight of the water plunging thousands of feet. It was too hot when we went, so we took a sightseeing bus directly to the starting point of the Warrior Rafting, finished the rafting trip, and left. Next time we'll go hiking.

How can such a unique attraction be free? The Sky City's not cheap package includes this one, besides the cable car. The view from the glass observation deck is pretty good, and there are shops and fast food restaurants around, and of course there is a truly free observation deck.

The scenery of Xiandao Lake is very beautiful. The east line of the tour has more exciting projects, but the cost is a bit expensive. The glass plank road, glass slide, zip line, etc. are more suitable for young people to play. Overall, it is not bad.

Facilities: Better than expected, new and clean. Hygiene: Good. Environment: Beautiful. Service: Butler Xiao Shao's service was very attentive, with various heartwarming reminders. There were performances, late-night snacks, and he even took us to watch the sunrise. Although a bit pricey, it was worth it.

There were no assigned seats, so you could sit anywhere. We spent most of our time on the third deck enjoying the view and taking photos. Although it was very hot outside, there was a breeze on both sides of the deck, so it wasn't too bad. There were karaoke machines and vendors selling snacks and drinks on both the second and third decks. The air conditioning on the second deck was very strong. We arrived at the pier half an hour early, and there was already a queue.

Perhaps it's because you can't see anything on a rainy day, so I don't dare to say much about the scenery. You can usually see colorful birds in this season, but there's nothing happening now. However, I feel that the scenic area's management is still a bit lacking.
