A Day in Xunyang, Starting from the Hotel **Morning: Lock River Tower, Gazing at the Mighty Yangtze** North of the hotel lies the Yangtze River, with the Lock River Tower just a short walk away. This Ming Dynasty relic has stood by the river for over 400 years. Ascend the tower to behold the majestic scenery described by Du Fu: "Stars hang low over the vast plain, the moon surges with the great river’s flow." At dawn, the misty river resembles an ink-wash painting. **Noon: Xunyang Tower, Reliving "Song of the Pipa"** Stroll along Binjiang Road to Xunyang Tower, where Bai Juyi once wrote, "By Xunyang River at night, I saw off a guest; maple leaves and reeds rustled in the autumn wind." The tower houses centuries of poetry.

Wander through Lingxing Gate and the Sage Worship Hall, savoring the hermitic vibe described by Tao Yuanming: "I built my hut amid the human world, yet hear no noise of horse or carriage." **Evening: Mount Lu, Sunset Over the Sea of Clouds** Just an hour’s drive from the hotel, Mount Lu awaits. If time allows, take the cable car to Guling Town for a panoramic view of Jiujiang’s stunning landscapes, as Li Bai wrote, "Jiujiang’s beauty can be gathered in one glance."
