Xiangyang in Hubei is a nice summer resort area

🏨 Baokang Yaozhi River Resort Area 🚉Transportation Strategy: It takes 2 hours by highway (exit at Yaozhi River exit) plus half an hour of mountain road driving (the road condition is very good, with two lanes for easy passing) to reach the parking lot at the entrance of Yaozhi River Resort Hotel 🍽Dining Recommendations: You can have lunch at the hotel at noon, or continue driving along the road inside Yaozhi River, where there are many farmhouses available for dining. 👍Most Recommended: Check into the hotel (package deal of 398 includes hotel stay and double scenic area tickets), the hotel environment is really nice, great experience (annual cardholders can also choose farmhouses and homestays at the entrance of Sanjie Dongtian, as well as independent cottages) 🗓Itinerary: Day One Visit Laolong Cave at 3 pm, it's a large karst cave, super cool inside and very suitable for summer heat escape! If you want to experience the mountain slide, you can park your car at the Sanjie Dongtian entrance parking lot and take the slide up the mountain. It is recommended to drive directly to the Laolong Cave parking lot for a better experience! By 17:00 it's basically cooled down, you can go to the glass viewing platform for photos (you will see it when driving down from Laolong Palace, make sure to park your car in a safe place before walking there) For dinner, you can go to a farmhouse, ending the first day's itinerary Day Two Have breakfast at the hotel (try to be as early as possible, if it's late, you can only have noodles) At 9:00, visit Yaodi Shenxia, it's not hot in the morning and very comfortable, you can wear light-colored clothes for better photos, the water in front is green, and near the exit, the water turns blue, which is really beautiful! At 11:00, after finishing the meal, you can start the return trip. There is a country cottage on the mountain top (beautiful scenery but expensive dishes) or you can eat at the hotel and take a rest before leaving. If you have good physical strength, you can continue to visit the Sanjie Dongtian scenic area and return after playing!
