Yichang, Hubei: Qu Yuan's Hometown

Visiting Qu Yuan's hometown in Yichang, I felt like I was having a conversation across the millennia. As I entered the scenic area, I was immediately struck by the strong sense of history and culture. The winding cobblestone paths and ancient buildings seemed to bring Qu Yuan's presence to life. The solemn temple displayed many artifacts related to Qu Yuan, each one bearing the weight of history and telling the story of his patriotism and literary achievements. From a high vantage point, I could see the magnificent Three Gorges Dam. The dam spans the Yangtze River, cutting off the clouds and rain of the Wushan Mountains, and creating a breathtaking scene of a lake in the high gorge. It is not only a modern engineering marvel, but also closely connected to the history and culture of this land. In ancient times, Qu Yuan cared for the world and left behind timeless works; today, the Three Gorges Dam benefits millions and showcases the power of a great nation. Qu Yuan's hometown is a place where history and modernity meet, and where culture and technology collide. It allowed me to experience the rich cultural heritage and feel the pulse of the times. This journey will be an unforgettable chapter in my memory.
