If you come to Wuhan for a trip and don’t see the sunrise at Lingbo Gate and the sunset at the Yangtze River Bridge, you will feel very sorry. The red morning glow filled the sky, and suddenly I understood the poem The sentence "Half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red". Be healed in that moment and start the day in a good mood. Here are the tips: 1 Introduction to the scenic spot: Lingbo Gate Scenic Area is located on Donghu South Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. It is named after Lingbo Gate, which is located on Donghu South Road of Wuhan University. Lingbo Gate consists of several rows of winding piers extending into the lake. It was originally an open-air swimming pool built by Wuhan University for teaching during the Republic of China period. It is now a popular viewing platform for watching the sunrise, carrying the romantic moments of countless people. 2. Sunrise time: The sunrise time in summer is 5:00-5:30, and in winter it is about 5:50-6:50. It is recommended to arrive half an hour in advance. It’s best to stay up all night the night before and have a midnight snack at Haidilao. 3Address::Take a taxi to "Lingbo Gate of Wuhan University", You can go directly to the lake from home, find a place to sit down and wait for the sunrise. !:Due to the frequent drowning accidents, the pier is now maintained every day. Visitors are prohibited from going up before 6 am, and there will be security personnel patrolling) 4 Remember to bring breakfast with you, otherwise you will be hungry. It is not easy to find a place to have breakfast nearby. You can take a taxi to eat near Jiefangkou. 5. Bring sunglasses and sun-protective clothing. It is a bit cold in the summer mornings. Sun-protective clothing keeps you warm and protects you from the sun. Sunglasses can block the sun and protect your eyes when the sun comes out. 6. Pay attention to safety and prevent drowning. Remember to take away the garbage. Finally, I also want to see the sunrise of Lingbo Gate in your photo album.

Suggestion for everyone, you can arrive at 5:20. I went there early and encountered many mosquitoes. Everyone can bring a jacket and some hot water, as it's a bit chilly in the morning around 5:50 when the sky starts to brighten up. The sun officially rises at 6:00 and it gets hot quickly! Around 10 minutes later at 6:15, the sun will rise. So the actual photo-taking time is only about 15 minutes, but after the sunrise, you can still capture the beauty of it, which cannot be fully captured in photos! Worth going to the scene to experience the romance of sunrise. But everyone must pay attention to safety, the water is quite deep, be careful!
