Hey everyone👋, is there a song that, like a gentle breeze carrying the dust of history and the spirit of chivalry, opens the door to your yearning for a thousand-year-old city? I came here because of the song "Xiangyang": "Xiangyang's beautiful days, leave me drunk with the mountain elder. The Han River flows gently, the ancient city remains, and the wisdom of Longzhong endures for thousands of years." These simple, melodious, and meaningful lyrics vividly showcase Xiangyang's historical charm and cultural appeal, making me eager to explore this city. In February, filled with anticipation, I embarked on a journey to Xiangyang.

Walking along the wall, you can overlook the Han River and imagine the battles of the past, feeling the weight and vicissitudes of history📷 📍Gulongzhong: "The mountains are not high but elegant, the water is not deep but clear; the land is not vast but flat, the forest is not large but lush." This is where Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion and where the "Longzhong Plan" was conceived. Entering Gulongzhong, the mountains and forests are tranquil, and the halls and temples are solemn, as if you can hear Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei discussing their strategy. 📌Practical Tips 1. Xiangyang City Wall is free to visit, but some towers charge a fee. You can choose according to your needs. Madam City is an important part of the ancient city wall, and Zhongxuan Tower offers panoramic views. North Street has a variety of food options.

Pair it with a bowl of sweet yellow wine to ward off the cold and start your day full of energy👍 🍘Yicheng Crayfish: Although February is not the peak season for crayfish, some restaurants still serve them.

🗨This hotel is near Xiangyang Railway Station. My friend and I booked a standard room for around CNY 120. It's suitable for students on a weekend trip. The room has two 1.2 m beds, a TV, a table, two bottles of Danjiangkou water, and a full-length mirror. The quilt isn't very soft, but the room is cozy. The room is a bit small and there's not much space left after putting in two beds. However, the bathroom is separated into wet and dry areas. There's also a door chain, but I forgot to take a photo. The hotel is quite big and seems to occupy an entire building. 🌲The front desk is on the first floor. You can call the front desk if you need anything. The environment is relatively quiet. The hotel is near Xiangyang Railway Station and is within walking distance.🌟

ot took all pf 3 days to prep everything - from a handmade pumpkin booth to hand painted canvass stands but we made it and celebrated like kids do

I came to the Yulin Military Academy and waited for the upcoming exciting Wuwu Emperor School. In AD 36, Liu Xiu went through a unified war that lasted for ten years and unified the countries that fell apart. However, the northern Xiongnu and Xianbei repeatedly committed the Dahan border. In order to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, Liu Xiu decreed to summon the generals in the "Yuntai 28" and held a grand military exercise at the Yulin Military Academy. The weather for a few days is very good. There is no hot and blazing sun, no pattering rain, warm and gentle weather, just like the feeling of the small city of Zaoyang, warm and comfortable. But at this time, the school ground still has a strong heat, and the heat wave is followed by a burst of heat, and the persons cheeks are hot and red, which is an impassioned passion radiated from the bottom of my heart. The galloping horses and the flying dust test not only the Yuma's superb technology but also the sensitive reaction ability. The battlefield is full of winds and waves, and it is lost when you accidentally. Therefore, it is not only necessary to liberate the hands and wield the knife and gun on the galloping horseback, but also to respond to the surrounding environment with extreme sensitivity, and to make the most favorable judgment and the most effective response in an instant. seems to have returned to the turbulent era of the yellow sand. Thousands of young lang have left their parents, left their sweethearts, left their hometown and rushed to the front line, throwing their heads and sprinkling blood, just for the dream in the heart. Only to solve the battlefield for the country to die, why the horse is still wrapped in corpses, is a singer and lovely person.

The entire city dons autumn attire ranging from latte brown and caramel to chestnut, warm and mellow. 🍂 In Gulongzhong, the ginkgo trees in the mountains filter mottled golden light, creating a warm and cool contrast with the ancient blue tiles. The leaves of the Chinese tallow tree in front of Sangu Hall gradually turn from green to red, like slowly roasted coffee beans, exuding the fragrance of wisdom. Here, visitors quietly line up, waiting just to capture the moment of autumn, yet no one shakes the branches to forcibly keep a season that does not belong to them. 🏯 Stepping into Tang City is like entering the prosperous Tang Dynasty soaked in caramel hues. You can take photos with friends in the Imperial Garden, enjoy tea and fragrance in Ximing Temple, or simply stroll around watching leaves and shadows chase and play. Trash bins are clearly categorized everywhere, and young people holding hot drinks will take a few extra steps to accurately dispose of empty cups in the "other waste" bin—these civilized behaviors of tourists make this autumnal tenderness last even longer. 🌳 The autumn colors of Xijia Pool are understated but withstand close appreciation. The pool water remains as green as ever, while the surrounding trees are layered with hues—the light brown of the phoenix tree, the deep red of the Chinese tallow, and the rusty color of the fir forest, reflected in the water like a spilled eyeshadow palette. Visitors tacitly maintain this tranquility; no one speaks loudly, and photography enthusiasts wait at the best vantage points but always leave passageways open so others can also enjoy this moment of beauty. 🖌️ Autumn at the Mi Gong Shrine is like a slowly yellowing calligraphy masterpiece. The century-old ginkgo in the courtyard sheds golden fan-shaped leaves, forming a painting together with the black tiles and white walls. Between the stone inscription corridors, light filters through the branches, casting mottled shadows on the stele inscribed by Mi Fu’s hand, as if time is leafing through an ancient book. Autumn in Xiangyang is brief and precious, and this Maillard color palette scenery is at its best viewing period. The civilized behaviors in these subtle details—no picking flowers or branches, no littering, no loud noise—together with Xiangyang’s autumn colors create an even more splendid landscape.

Friend, if you're looking for a place where you can both feel the heroic spirit of battles and enjoy the slow breeze by the river, Xiangyang definitely counts! I just got back from there, and half of my heart is still wandering by the Han River. Don’t rush, let me tell you how to have the best time on this trip. Day 1: Be a "Guardian of the Ancient City" My suggestion is to dedicate the first day to the Xiangyang Ancient City Wall, one of the most complete ancient city walls still standing in China, with an authentic vibe! Wake up naturally in the morning, no rush. After a good meal, head straight to Linhan Gate. When you see the towering city gate tower and the thick bricks beneath your feet, wow, the feeling hits you instantly! You can almost hear the neighing of war horses from a thousand years ago. You must walk along the city wall, preferably to the section near Furen City. On one side is the vast Han River, on the other side the lively old streets inside the city. This blend of ancient and modern visuals is absolutely stunning! After the city wall, don’t miss Beijie Street. This street runs right under the city wall, with bluestone pavement and various snacks and specialty shops on both sides. Let me tell you, the Xiangyang brown sugar pancake is round and plump, fresh out of the oven and piping hot. One bite is crispy, with the brown sugar inside flowing like lava—sweet but not greasy. I could easily eat two by myself! Also try the old Xiangyang cold noodles and Kongming vegetables (a special type of pickled vegetable, perfect with rice). Walking and eating is the right way to enjoy Beijie Street. In the afternoon, if you have the energy, visit the Xiangyang Museum, located inside the ancient city’s Zhaoming Terrace. It’s free! Explore Xiangyang’s historical timeline, from prehistoric stone tools to weapons from the Three Kingdoms period, which will deepen your appreciation of the city wall you saw in the morning. If you get tired, just find a riverside teahouse, order a cup of tea, watch the boats on the river come and go, and daydream for the afternoon—that’s a heavenly day. Day 2: Dreaming of the Three Kingdoms, Encountering Tang Dynasty Splendor Coming to Xiangyang without visiting Gulongzhong is like coming for nothing. This is said to be where Zhuge Liang once farmed and studied, and where Liu Bei made his "three visits to the thatched cottage." It’s a bit far from the city center, so you’ll need to take a ride. Once inside, the scenery is beautiful with clear mountains and waters. Check out the Thatched Cottage and the Hugging Knee Pavilion. Take a photo under the ancient archway and you’ll feel a bit of the “Wolong” (Crouching Dragon) wisdom aura. Silently recite the "Memorial on the Dispatch of Troops," and the sentiment will instantly resonate. After soaking in the history of Gulongzhong, in the afternoon we’ll “time travel” to the prosperous Tang Dynasty! Xiangyang Tang City is where the movie "Legend of the Demon Cat" was filmed. The architecture is grand and detailed. The Zhuque Gate, Mingde Gate, and the Thousand-Step Corridor... you won’t stop taking photos, every shot looks like a masterpiece. I recommend staying until evening when the lights come on. The entire Tang City glows with golden splendor, and there are various live performances that make you feel like you’re witnessing the scene of nations paying tribute. This day, from the late Han and Three Kingdoms to the flourishing Tang Dynasty, this time-travel experience is worth every penny! Day 3: Han River Charm and Local Flavors On the last day, let’s relax a bit. In the morning, take a stroll by the Han River and enjoy the view of Yuliangzhou Island. The wide river opens your mind and refreshes your spirit. If you get the chance, take a Han River cruise. Seeing Xiangyang city from the middle of the river offers a different vibe, very healing. At noon, you must have a bowl of authentic Xiangyang beef noodles! This is the soul of Xiangyang cuisine. Unlike other beef noodles, it’s made with beef tallow in a red broth, rich and flavorful. The noodles are alkaline noodles, very chewy. Paired with big chunks of beef and a plate of raw garlic, oh, it’s incredibly satisfying! If you can’t handle spicy food, remember to tell the owner “less spicy.” After this bowl of noodles, your Xiangyang trip is basically complete. If you still have time, visit the Mi Gong Shrine (a must for calligraphy lovers) or Xijia Pool (the pioneer of Chinese suburban gardens), both peaceful and elegant places. Summary Tips: · Stay: It’s recommended to stay in Xiangcheng District, close to the ancient city, convenient for eating, drinking, and shopping. · Transport: Taxis and buses are very convenient within the city. For Gulongzhong and Tang City, you might need a ride-hailing car or a tourist shuttle. · Eat: The essentials are beef noodles, brown sugar pancakes, Xiangyang fried sauce noodles, various river delicacies (legally farmed, of course), and authentic farmhouse dishes. Xiangyang is not flashy but has deep roots. It’s not as noisy as some trendy cities. You can feel the ancient charm on the city wall and enjoy the slow life by the Han River. Spend two or three days slowly savoring it, and the flavor will come through.

When the morning light spreads over the 108-meter-high Zhuque Gate, the "Martial Marquis" clad in bright armor march in formation along the stone-paved road, the sound of hooves resonating with the morning bell—this is not a special effect from the film "Legend of the Demon Cat," but the daily time-travel prelude performed at Xiangyang Tang City. This Tang Dynasty-themed film base hidden in the heart of Central China holds a more vivid Tang Dynasty daily life than what the camera can capture, waiting for you to unlock in an immersive way. Before You Go: Tips and Preparation Tickets and Timing - Ticket options: Day tickets cost about 80-90 RMB (8:30 AM - 5:30 PM), perfect for savoring architectural details and hands-on experiences; night tickets are around 120 RMB (5:30 PM - 10:00 PM), with the light show and night performances being the highlight. The full-day pass at 150 RMB is highly recommended—entering at 4 PM lets you catch the sunset over vermilion walls and black tiles, plus enjoy the night scenes and shows, offering great value. - Special periods: On holidays, the closing time may extend to midnight with added fireworks shows. For example, during the 10th anniversary celebration, there were two fireworks shows daily. Check the latest schedule before your visit. Transportation and Gear - External transport: A taxi from Xiangyang East Station costs about 20 RMB and takes 15 minutes directly to the site, or take bus routes 1, 13, etc., which go straight to the attraction. Don’t trust roadside offers to "guide you to parking lots"; official parking costs 10 RMB/day and is more reliable. - Internal mobility: The site is large, with daily steps exceeding 20,000. Renting an electric scooter for 50 RMB/hour can save energy. Wearing sneakers is a must. - Must-bring list: ID card (required for ticket check), high-SPF sunscreen, some cash (some small shops only accept cash). Photography enthusiasts are advised to bring a wide-angle lens for full architectural panoramas. Core Activities: Immersive Experience from Day to Night Daytime Stroll: Unlock Film Scenes and Tang Dynasty Elegance 1. Architectural Exploration: Enter through Mingde Gate, pass the grand Zhuque Corridor, and check in at the Rainbow Bridge featured in "Legend of the Demon Cat." The lake reflects flying eaves and red lanterns; silhouettes taken in the slanting noon sun are stunning. Inside the Hu Yu Building, you can watch pipa dance performances; the second floor balcony offers panoramic views. The majestic Xuanzheng Hall is perfect for powerful photo shots. 2. Film Secrets: Cosplay as a character in the "Crown Prince’s Study," a filming location for "The Long Ballad," check in at the Rainbow Bridge used in "Joy of Life," and if lucky, you might encounter a film crew shooting scenes or even be recruited as an extra to swap a bowl of lamb paomo. 3. Traditional Experiences: The East Market offers ancient games like touhu (pitch-pot) and archery. The Tang City Art Museum displays authentic Tang Dynasty pottery figurines; a macro lens can capture exquisite painted details. The giant bronze-cast Xiangyang City at Xianshan Cultural Square is free to visit. Wearing Hanfu for photos here greatly enhances the atmosphere. Night Highlights: Tang Dynasty Revelry of Lights and Performances 1. Light Feast: When a thousand palace lanterns light up Zhuque Street, shooting with a 0.5x wide-angle lens can produce movie-poster-level photos. The 3D light show at Mingde Gate, synchronized with music, vividly portrays the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. 2. Performance Schedule: At 8:10 PM, watch "Mingde Victory Song" at Mingde Gate; at 8:50 PM, see "Zhuque Displays National Might" at Jinshui Bridge; at 9:25 PM, enjoy "Dream Seeking at Hu Yu Building" at West Market; the grand finale fireworks at 9:38 PM is breathtaking—arrive early to secure a good spot. 3. Immersive Interaction: Wear Hanfu to join the "Night Tour of Chang’an," learn to bow and greet from NPCs, and if lucky, watch the "Courtesan Parade." West Market at night features acrobatics, shadow puppetry, and the dazzling spectacle of iron flower forging. Tang Dynasty Flavors: Must-Try Foods and What to Avoid Must-Try Delicacies - Shui Pen Lamb: 38 RMB per bowl, made with lamb bone broth, served with crescent-shaped flatbread to soak up the soup—delicious beyond words. - Xiangyang Specialties: Deng’s Beef Brisket Noodles with yellow wine for 15 RMB is filling; Lao Xie’s sour vegetable noodles with marinated tofu for 10 RMB whets the appetite; Chen’s brown sugar guokui (baked flatbread) at 3 RMB each bursts with sweet flavor. - Hidden Gems: The film set snack shop sells sesame cakes for 5 RMB, with sesame aroma mixed with Sichuan pepper powder that gets more fragrant the more you chew; the 10 RMB persimmon pancake is crispy outside and sticky inside, sweet enough to make your heart tremble. Avoid These The "handmade dragon beard candy" sold in the park is overpriced; supermarket bags at 10 RMB are more authentic. Some snack stalls charge inflated prices; the old shops in East and West Markets are more trustworthy. Accommodation and Surroundings: Extend Your Tang Dynasty Experience - On-site lodging: "Changlefang Inn" costs 680 RMB/night, modeled after Tang Dynasty courtyards with private hot springs. The butler serves freshly cooked almond tofu, and late at night you can see the film base’s searchlights like the lights of Chang’an night market from the balcony. - Nearby attractions: Across the street, Xijia Pool is a free Han Dynasty garden with a tranquil bamboo forest perfect for rest; at Xiangyang Ancient City’s Han Gate, you can view the Han River, and Zhang’s Beef Noodles on North Street is a local secret recommendation. From the Zhuque Gate bathed in morning light to the fireworks showering the night sky, the charm of Tang City is not just in the replicated buildings but in the genuine Tang Dynasty atmosphere you can touch—holding a sesame cake, chasing performances. Here, every corner may bring a surprise, and every light tells a thousand-year story.

Xiangyang Ancient City has long been hailed as a renowned historical and cultural city in China. Its majestic city walls, built along Binjiang Boulevard, embody the rich history and culture of the Three Kingdoms period. The story of Guo Jing and Huang Rong defending Xiangyang imbues the ancient city with a martial arts atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for visitors seeking to experience traditional Chinese culture and explore historical landmarks. Best of all, it's open 24/7 year-round, with no reservations required, allowing you to experience the charm of the ancient city at any time of day. Recommended Tour Route: Enter through the main gate at No. 128 North Street and stroll along the city walls for breathtaking views of the ancient walls, moat, and the occasional ancient gatehouses. The riverside area is particularly recommended, offering panoramic views of the Han River and perfect for photo opportunities, especially at dawn or dusk, when light and shadows cast a poetic light across the ancient city. Must-See Activities and Photo Spots: 1. Xiangyang Ancient City Wall: The well-preserved wall offers a sense of history and is a popular photo spot for tourists. 2. City Gate Towers: Each gate tower has its own unique design, with the South Gate and East Gate being particularly iconic. 3. Han River View: A walk along the moat offers panoramic views of the Han River. It's recommended to photograph the ancient city from the riverside. 4. City Streets: The ancient streets and alleys are well-preserved, with many local snacks and teahouses, allowing you to experience authentic Xiangyang life. 5. Historical Story Plaques: Stories about the Three Kingdoms and Xiangyang are often displayed along the city walls, making them a great place for those interested in martial arts or history to stop and take a closer look. Tour Tips: - Wear comfortable shoes, as the walk along the city walls is long and the alleyways are paved with cobblestones. - Mornings and evenings are less crowded and offer better photography, so avoid the direct midday sun. - To immerse yourself in the Three Kingdoms culture, research relevant historical or martial arts novels in advance for a more immersive experience. - The illuminated city walls at night are perfect for photographing, offering a unique experience for those who enjoy Xiangyang Ancient City at night. There are many restaurants in the city, and I recommend trying the authentic Xiangyang beef noodles. Notes: Some areas of the ancient city are residential, so please maintain quiet and respect public order, and refrain from littering. During major holidays, there are more tourists, so avoid peak hours. Closing Topic: #XiangyangAncientCity #ThreeKingdomsCulture #MartialArtsCheck-In #HanRiverScenery #XiangyangFood

Xiangyang Museum really surprised me — it’s one of the prettiest museums I’ve been to lately! The building itself is stunning, with that elegant Tokyo-style vibe — modern, clean, and a little bit mysterious, yet still keeping a touch of traditional charm. It feels very high-end but also peaceful. Inside, there are so many decorations — especially cute little animal ornaments everywhere. The tiny dogs are definitely the stars 🐶💛 They’re all so detailed and adorable, you can’t help but smile while walking around. The museum has several exhibition halls, each with its own theme and atmosphere. You can see ancient relics, traditional art, and even some creative displays that mix history with modern design. Everything is beautifully arranged and easy to enjoy, even if you’re not a history expert. And the best part? It’s still free to visit! 🎟️✨ If you’re ever in Xiangyang, you have to drop by — it’s such a lovely spot for both history lovers and anyone who appreciates beautiful spaces.
