The Oriental Epoch Scenic Area looks like this in 2024!
I have visited the Yichang Oriental Epoch Scenic Area for the third time and want to share my experience with everyone.
1. Location of the scenic area. It is located in Anfusi Town, Zhijiang City, Yichang, about a 30-minute drive from the city center, and the transportation is quite convenient, mostly via expressway.
2. The scenic area is quite large. It feels like it covers thousands of acres. Many flowers are planted, resembling a flower base. However, they are not very concentrated.
3. For adults, coming here might just be to see the flowers and check in. There are hardly any amusement facilities for adults.
4. Amusement facilities for children. There are a few, which seem to be outsourced, and the facilities are also common in the city.
5. Features. There is a peacock base with many peacocks inside, but the sound of peacocks is not very pleasant.
6. You can pick fruits in the summer.
7. Try not to choose a hot day to visit, as it can be very hot.
Sometimes the Oriental Epoch holds events, which might make it more lively!

The scenic area is themed around ancient Han culture and comprehensively showcases the life and deeds of Wang Zhaojun, one of the four great beauties of ancient China. After visiting the scenic area, I was deeply moved by her great spirit of sacrificing herself for the country.

8. The scenic area is affordable, with electric cart included for 39.9 yuan (Wednesday special price).

Pitstop Lijiang
#familytrips2024 A road trip between Dali and Lijiang offers stunning scenery, but it can also be a long journey, so taking a rest stop is a great idea. A pitstop allows you to sample local specialties at restaurants or food stalls you might encounter along the way. And we managed to grab some local snacks which has a unique flavor to its local delicacy. The sausage cost rm6 for one 😋 #Chinatrip

Gaolan Sceneic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
【Hubei Hidden Gem · Spring Exclusive】The dawn of a new era for hiking and camping in Gaolan
🌸🌿Escape the hustle and bustle, and discover the hidden paradise of Gaolan Great Waterfall area in Yichang, Hubei. Surrounded by lush greenery, it feels like being on the grasslands of the Western Sichuan Plateau, especially when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring, transforming the place into a dreamy forest hiking journey.🎊
📍📍【Location Guide】
Yichang's Gaolan Great Waterfall is only an ideal 4.5-hour drive from Wuhan🚗, or a 1-hour taxi ride from Yichang high-speed train station.🌟 Embark on this extraordinary and less-traveled self-driving route, and prepare to be amazed by the surprises and natural beauty that await.🌈
👀👀【Attraction Recommendations】
🔶🌊Gaolan Great Waterfall: Although currently under maintenance and expected to reopen in June, its majestic grandeur is comparable to the Lushan Waterfall, with a verdant lawn underfoot as picturesque as poetry, as if stepping into a secret realm of Western Sichuan.
🌸🌸Cherry Blossom Forest: It's the peak of blooming season, with cherry blossoms all over the mountains weaving a romantic and poetic scenery, a unique view that's hard to find in Wuhan's urban area. By the end of the month, when the late cherry blossoms bloom, it will be even more enchanting!
💧💧Peach Blossom Creek: I privately crown it as the 'ceiling' of hiking experiences around Wuhan! Following the winding stream deeper, the journey may be long but the beauty is continuous, as if walking into a real-life landscape painting.
💰💰【Practical Information】
Take advantage of the off-season, with budget-friendly ticket prices and fewer tourists, making it a great time for family gatherings and outings with friends. The convenient self-driving option🚗 takes you easily to the outdoor paradise of Hubei's Gaolan, where you can fully enjoy the harmonious blend of man and nature.🌞
🌈🌈In this vibrant spring painting, there is the tender sweetness of cherry blossoms🌸, the graceful charm of Peach Blossom Creek💧, allowing the soul to return to tranquility, and life to be filled with poetry and distance.💕
About Yichang!!! Save me, I will really come again
😃My perception of Yichang is that it's niche and beautiful, full of life, with low living costs, a slow pace of life, mountains and rivers, walking along the river, feeling the breeze, watching the mountains and waters, enjoying the beauty of this moment🤗.
If you don't know where to travel in spring, Yichang will definitely not disappoint you😉!
💖Attraction Choices
Yichang's scenic spots are quite scattered, it is recommended to drive or join a tour🚗. It's impossible to visit all attractions in 3 days, choose a few must-visit spots to optimize time🤔.
