The Hubei Provincial Museum houses over 240,000 artifacts, including nearly 1,000 pieces of national first-class cultural relics. As of February 2023, it occupies a total land area of 85,000 square meters and a total building area of 114,000 square meters, of which 36,000 square meters are exhibition space. The museum is laid out as a south and north building, with two independent east and west exhibition halls. Among its artifacts are the Zeng Hou Yi chime bells, the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, and the Tiger-shaped Drum Stand.
Our tour guide, Chen Yao, was very professional. She provided detailed explanations of the museum's treasures and arranged the route reasonably. With so many visitors today, she saved us a lot of time.

It was fantastic! We went straight for the top-of-the-line option. The top deck is definitely different. Before, the Qingjiang Gallery was open-air, but this one is indoors with 270-degree panoramic glass. The environment is great, and you can even change clothes, though you'll have to be quick to grab the best ones! There's also complimentary tea, drinks, bread, and pastries.
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.

I must give Yinji Animal Kingdom and Monkey Planet a five-star rating! This was definitely the most surprising stop on our trip. Over 100 primates, white tigers, and lions created a truly joyful atmosphere. Whether you're traveling with family or friends, you're guaranteed to have a wonderful time!
It's definitely worth a visit, ideally for about two days; even one day requires some planning! Overall, I highly recommend it; the kids had a blast 😁 from morning till night. The November temperature in Zhengzhou is still quite warm, perfect for a family trip. It was crowded due to Halloween activities, so I recommend going to the Chief's House first; you can buy a U-Pass there, which is definitely worthwhile.

The guided tour exceeded my expectations. I regret that I forgot to ask the guide's name. The tour was exceptionally good. It lasted from 2:30 to 5:00 and we still wanted more. The guide even gave us a special talk about the stone carvings. It was outstanding!
I'd been looking forward to visiting Luobo for a long time, but the biggest surprise of this trip wasn't just its unparalleled collection, but also our encounter with our award-winning guide, Mr. Dawei.
About the Collection
The richness of the Luoyang Museum's collection completely exceeded my expectations. From the magnificent bronze artifacts of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties to the diverse pottery figurines of the Han and Wei dynasties; from the magnificent Tang Dynasty sancai (three-colored glazed pottery) to the golden nanmu Buddhist shrines of the Qing Dynasty. Especially the unique Tang Dynasty sancai, exquisite bronzes, and stone Buddha statues imbued with the imperial grandeur—each one a national treasure, a breathtaking sight, deeply astounding the depth and breadth of Heluo civilization.
About the Guide
I enjoyed Mr. Dawei's guide this time. He completely overturned my stereotype of guides who simply read from a script.
He not only explained the origin of each item, but also shared the story behind it, why it was important, and the relevant craftsmanship, techniques, and development process. His explanations were incredibly engaging. He was able to connect the dots between the entire story of a cultural relic, from domestic and international events, leaving you stunned and truly learning! His presentations were incredibly engaging, and you could tell he truly loved history. We were also captivated, never bored at all.
After this trip, it felt more like I wasn't just visiting a museum, but rather like I'd traveled back in time with him. The artifacts came alive in his words, each with its own story.
If you're going to the Luoyang Museum, I highly recommend listening to Professor Dawei's lectures! It's absolutely worth the 198 yuan ticket price and the most rewarding part of the trip.
In summary: It's well worth the money, and the "30% viewing, 70% narration" approach was truly enjoyable today.

A nighttime tour of Tang City amazed me at the grandeur of this man-made film and television city.
There were many performances, and the scale was quite impressive, but why didn't it feel truly breathtaking? I offer the following analysis:
1. The actors weren't particularly dedicated. Their expressions were dull, their movements were unfocused, and even when they approached the audience, they weren't enthusiastic. The group performances weren't cohesive. Perhaps they were tired from performing multiple shows daily and didn't really enjoy the job.
2. The scriptwriting wasn't professional enough. Three large-scale performances, recommended by netizens as highly worth seeing—Mingde's Victory Song, Suzaku's Display of National Prestige, and Fireworks at Hu Yulou—had no plot at all. They also lacked any relevant content; they were simply light and music shows. If I could offer a suggestion, I'd definitely design them according to a timeline. The first could depict the Tang Dynasty facing war, with assassins attacking the city and warriors rushing to the rescue. The second could see soldiers defending their country, a general returning victorious, and meeting a beautiful woman. The third could feature a beautiful scene of the flourishing Tang Dynasty, with fireworks and water curtains celebrating its splendor. Adding excellent lighting and sound effects would have been even better. 3. There were so many programs, and the venue design was a mess. It was difficult to run around.
Overall, the ticket price was worth it, and the schedule was very fulfilling. The venue was beautiful, with many photo-worthy spots, and it was a very pleasant experience.
We recommend visiting in the afternoon. During the day, you can explore Tang City, following the route from Zhuque Gate to Mingde Gate, then East and West Markets, then Xingqing Palace, and finally East Market Restaurant. You can also rent Hanfu costumes for photos and enjoy performances. In the evening, experience a night tour of Tang City, enjoying light shows and Flying Apsaras dance performances. Recommended photo spots include the square in front of Guangde Temple and the East Market Bridge.

The program was so captivating! We were amazed by Cao Zhi's unparalleled literary talent, and even more heartbroken by his tragic fate of being "fighting with his enemies." He poured all his passion, talent, pain, and perseverance into this dreamlike encounter. That exquisite figure by the Luo River was a goddess, an ideal, and also Cao Zhi's own noble and lonely soul, forever murmuring and lingering in the mists of history.
After watching "Tracing the Footsteps of Luoyang: Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River," the strongest feeling was that this performance brought the goddess of the Luo River, described by Cao Zhi a thousand years ago as "graceful as a startled swan, lithe as a swimming dragon," to life from the words, and gave the connection between Luoyang and the "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River" a tangible warmth.
It was more than just a visual feast—the lights and mist outlining the misty Luo River, the classical elegance of the dancers' flowing robes, precisely recreated the ethereal imagery of "like light clouds veiling the moon, like swirling snow in a flowing wind," transforming what would otherwise be text requiring repeated reading and imagination into a visually striking impact. Even more moving was its core theme of "tracing the footsteps": from Cao Zhi's deep gaze to contemporary people's pursuit of classical aesthetics, this performance connected time and space, allowing us to see that the "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River" was never just a forgotten piece of writing, but a romantic gene hidden in the soil of Luoyang, flowing in the blood of its culture.
Especially at the end, as the light and shadows dimmed and the ripples of the Luo River blended with the city lights, it was as if one could feel the dialogue between the talent of a thousand years ago and the inheritance of the present – it turns out that the best way to trace culture is to let classical aesthetics find resonance in the present, and let every audience member become a witness to this romance that spans a thousand years.

The Ancient Longzhong Scenic Area is located in the western suburbs of Xiangyang City, about 10 kilometers from the city center. It is easily accessible by public bus; you can take a shuttle bus from the visitor center to the scenic area. The area is tranquil, beautiful, and rich in Three Kingdoms culture, featuring attractions such as the Wuhou Temple, the Ancient Longzhong Archway, and the Tenglong Pavilion. It is well worth a visit.
Since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it. It's nice to take a look; it's not far, and not too crowded. There are original structures and newer additions, so we can stroll around at our leisure. On the way back, we can visit Guangde Temple, with its pagoda and ginkgo trees. Unfortunately, the leaves weren't yellow when we went; it must be incredibly beautiful when they turn yellow. There were quite a few people taking photos there.

A gentle evening breeze, carrying the unique moisture of the Yangtze River, brushed against the gunwale as the cruise ship slowly departed the dock, gradually unfolding the night of Wuhan. On the river, shimmering waves meandered along the wake of the ship, like scattered diamonds, reflecting the lights that lit up one after another on both banks—the eaves of the Yellow Crane Tower were adorned with a warm yellow halo, like a jade palace floating in the night; the neon lights along the riverbank stretched along the shoreline, intertwining with the lights of the rows of buildings on the opposite bank, weaving a flowing galaxy of light and shadow.
The Hankou River Beach is the most scenic and longest section of the riverfront, perfect for a leisurely stroll rather than a rushed photo op. It frequently hosts various cultural and tourism promotional events. There's a chrysanthemum exhibition currently on display, which I recommend checking out; the panoramic views are quite pleasant.

The park was brimming with Halloween spirit, with pumpkin decorations and themed mascots everywhere, as well as creatively designed burger and giant chicken installations, making for fantastic photo opportunities. Visitors also showed great enthusiasm, with various quirky costumes that were eye-catching, creating the atmosphere of a grand costume party with plenty of interaction.
As Halloween approaches, the atmosphere is getting more and more lively. Many new themed haunted houses have been added. The NPCs in them are very good-looking and interactive. Under the lighting atmosphere, taking photos and checking in are very photogenic. After feeling the Halloween atmosphere, you can go to play other projects. The experience is great!

Overall, it was alright! The kids had a good time!
The only downside was that the ticket had to be verified at Gokurakuyu first, which was a bit of a hassle and inconvenient! You had to make a trip there, and I didn't know that at first. I only realized it when I got to the park's ticket checkpoint, so I had to go back to Gokurakuyu!
It's a good place to take the kids out, but there are too many people during the National Day holiday. It's recommended to travel during off-peak hours. There is luggage storage inside, and large luggage can also be stored. The baby's father is only free during the National Day holiday, so he can only squeeze in the crowd. Moreover, the weather is still a bit hot during the National Day holiday. As long as the baby is happy, it's fine. The facilities inside are quite complete, and the indoor air conditioning is sufficient. There are facilities suitable for children over a week old to play, as well as some facilities for older children to play. The variety is quite complete.
