Teacher Wang Hui's explanations were fantastic. The two-hour visit allowed us to explore the museum's ten most treasured treasures and learn about 800 years of Chu history. It was definitely worth the trip. At Wang Hui's recommendation, we also listened to the chime bells, which was a truly unique experience.
Tour guide Xiao Jin's explanations were incredibly detailed and interactive, and the photos he took were beautiful too. A truly worthwhile experience! Highly recommended!
Also, I was lucky enough to get a front-row seat for the chime performance!

Yueyang Tower, one of the three most famous towers in Jiangnan, is renowned for Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower Inscription" from the Northern Song Dynasty. It boasts historical, cultural, and natural beauty. The following are key points for appreciation:
Architectural Features
Unique Structure: The main tower stands 19.42 meters tall, with three floors and four pillars. It is constructed entirely of wood, using the mortise and tenon method, without any iron nails. Its helmet-shaped crest (resembling a general's helmet) and ruyi brackets are rare in ancient architecture.
Exquisite Craftsmanship: Four nanmu golden pillars extend through the roof, supporting the entire structure. Inside, a carved screen featuring "Yueyang Tower Inscription" (inscribed by Zhang Zhao during the Qing Dynasty) and a carved screen featuring Du Fu's poems (inscribed by Mao Zedong) hang.
I visited all three famous towers, but only this one had a paid scenic area to go upstairs. You can take photos of the other two outside the park without entering, but this one has to be seen inside. It's not worth the price of admission. If you're not obsessed with it, don't go. Just look at the beautiful Dongting Lake next to it.

The Qutang Gorge is beautiful! The boat trip was great, but Baidi Island was a bit of a filler. It was boring and newly built, just for show. After a long climb, I was speechless. The Three Gorges are truly beautiful, and the wonders of nature are always captivating! The only thing that's lost is the dam, which made the water so calm and still. It's a bit of a loss of the gorge's soul.
Personally, I think the entrance fee to the scenic spot is too high and the playability is relatively low. I suggest that friends who go there should have a tour guide to explain, otherwise it will be boring to wander around by yourself! Those who like history can go there. I am obsessed with Li Bai's poems, so I went there 🤣🤣

We chose a ferry trip and a return bus. First class is recommended, departing at 8:00 AM and returning to the visitor center at 4:30 PM. VIP service is provided throughout the trip.
Before departure, we had a simple McDonald's breakfast in the VIP lounge. We boarded the ferry using the express lane, skipping the line and going directly to the fourth floor, where we were provided with fruit, snacks, and juice. We also had a free VR session lasting nearly ten minutes, where we watched a short film about the construction of the Three Gorges.
At noon, the ferry arrived at Sanduping. Our group of nine enjoyed a group meal with a rich menu (the guide asked if the guests had any dietary restrictions). There were only two vegetarian dishes, and the rest were all meat, which was quite good for a group meal. The food was served quickly.
After lunch, the car that picked us up was already parked outside the hotel. In the afternoon, we visited the Three Gorges Museum, the Yangtze River Diversion Memorial Hall, the Three Gorges Dam, Tanziling, and Scenic Spot 185.
The tour didn't involve much walking, and the guide provided detailed explanations, making it a great trip for the elderly and children.
I visited here with my family and the whole experience was very pleasant. The signs in the scenic area were clear and the tour guide was very enthusiastic, helping us better understand every corner of the dam. The children, in particular, learned a lot about water conservancy projects and environmental protection in the science museum, which is of great benefit to their growth.

This scenic spot is highly recommended, featuring multiple live performances of various genres. Upon entering, there are two options: a cable car and an escalator, which are both energy-saving. It's recommended to allow ample time for the visit; a full day is quite relaxing and enjoyable.
The scenic area is small and a bit commercialized. The boat ride to and from the Three Gorges offers pleasant views. The elevators inside the scenic area are a rip-off, costing 30 yuan for three small elevators. The five elevators in the Three Gorges Dam are all free. The performance square was very crowded, so I only watched from the outside platform. Longjin Creek is a great place to play in the water, refreshing and cooling. Bring your own slippers if you want to play in the water; slippers inside are 30 yuan a pair.

Now is the off-season, the price is relatively cheap, the total tour time is 3.5 hours, the scenery is pleasant, although there are no red leaves, but the mountains and rivers, embrace nature, feel the magic of nature. You can come again when the mountains are covered with red leaves.
The whole journey takes 4 hours, so you need to plan ahead. The scenery of Xiao Sanxia is very good, the water is very clean, and the tour guide introduced it in detail. I recommend buying chicken jerky on the return trip, which tastes good. It is still a bit hot to visit during the summer vacation. It is recommended to come in late autumn and early winter, when you can see the red leaves all over the mountain.

The scenery of the Earth's Core Valley is nice, and there are not as many people as in Pingshan. The package ticket price is more cost-effective than that of Pingshan. Personally, I feel that if you go to the Earth's Core Valley, you don't need to go to Pingshan. After all, Pingshan is far away and the ticket price is expensive. The main purpose of going there is to take a celebrity photo of a small boat. In fact, the Earth's Core Valley also has the same photo-taking scene, and the effect is no worse than that of Pingshan.
The scenic area's transportation and entrance ticket checking are in good order. We experienced the lazy route, glass bridge elevator and magic carpet. The whole journey took three hours. It was mostly cool, except for the Bayan Ancient Road, which was a little hot.

It's really nice to come in the off-season. You can watch all the shows clearly. The NPC interactions are also very enthusiastic. Tang City is quite large. The performances are mainly in the East and West Markets and the Vermillion Bird Gate. You can easily spend a day there.
The architecture looks impressive from a distance, but up close it lacks detail and a sense of history. It would be helpful if the performances and fees could be separated from the ticket price, as not everyone enjoys watching these shows.

Follow the cement road to the left of the "Ancient Longzhong" stone archway until you reach the scenic shuttle bus stop. To the right of the stop is a road up the mountain, the gentlest and easiest of all the uphill roads. This road leads to Tenglong Pavilion. Another road descends the mountain (on the side of Tenglong Pavilion) to Sangu Hall and Zhuge Thatched Cottage (two adjacent attractions) and then to the scenic entrance. I personally think you can skip Laolong Cave; it's quite ordinary and I might have mistaken it for a fake mountain if I hadn't noticed.
For children who love the Three Kingdoms, this is definitely worth a visit. It's an immersive experience. Although everything is a replica, you can at least see and touch the buildings, utensils, weapons, and culture of the Three Kingdoms period. There are performances along the way, so plan ahead (see the attached schedule and map). Unfortunately, we arrived too late and missed the Zhuge Crossbow and the cable car.

It's worth the experience. I went with my children. Adults are 120cm tall and children over 1.3cm tall are half price. After boarding the boat, there are many people on the deck and limited chairs. For a better experience, I upgraded the cabin and sat at the bow. There are free snacks and drinks. Adults are 88 and children are half price. The whole journey takes one hour.
I've been on the Two Rivers Night Cruise many times. Sitting on the top of the boat, feeling the gentle river breeze, is so refreshing! The night scene on both sides of the river is dazzling and colorful, it's really beautiful! I highly recommend it!
