#中国 Mainland Attractions Yueyang Tower is an ancient city tower located above the west gate of the ancient city of Yueyang City, Hunan Province. It faces Dongting below, Junshan Mountain in front, and the Yangtze River in the north. It has the reputation of "the water is in the world in Dongting, and the tower is in the sky in Yueyang". The Yueyang Tower was built around 220 AD. According to legend, its predecessor was the "Yueyang Tower" of the Eastern Wu general Lu Su during the Three Kingdoms period. It was called the "Baling Tower" during the Western Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was called the "Yueyang Tower" in the mid-Tang Dynasty. Yueyang Tower is the only ancient building that maintains its original appearance among the three famous towers in Jiangnan. Entering the main building, the red city wall makes Yueyang Tower more imposing👍 Climbing the city wall, the Yueyang Tower is majestic, with 3 floors, 19.42 meters high, 14.54 meters deep, 17.42 meters wide, covering an area of ​​251 square meters, supported by four columns and upturned eaves. The four golden nanmu pillars in the building run straight through the roof, and are surrounded by corridors, rafters, rafters and purlins that interlock with each other to form a whole. The whole building does not use a single iron nail. It is amazing. The Yueyang Tower also has a helmet-top structure with a curved roof. Smooth, steep and curved, like the head of an ancient warrior Looking at the Yangtze River in the distance, I think of Fan Zhongyan's heroic ambition in "The Story of Yueyang Tower" "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness"🤗🤗

The migration time of migratory birds mainly depends on seasonal changes and geographical location, and is usually divided into two main stages: spring northward migration and autumn southward migration: Spring northward migration Time: Generally from early March to mid-to-late May. Features: As the temperature rises, migratory birds begin to migrate from their wintering grounds (such as southern China, Southeast Asia, and Australia) to their breeding grounds (such as northern China, Mongolia, the Russian Far East, and near the Arctic Circle). For example, around March, some early spring migratory birds have already begun to return to the north, and birds such as gray cranes and swans will usher in a migration peak in April. Autumn southward migration Time: Usually between September and November. Features: When the temperature in the north drops, migratory birds will leave their breeding grounds and migrate to warmer places in the south to spend the cold winter. In China, there will be a peak of migratory bird migration around mid-to-early November, when a large number of migratory birds can be observed passing through or staying in multiple wetland parks such as Yeyahu International Important Wetland and Nanhaizi Wetland Park. Influencing factors Climate change: In recent years, due to the impact of global warming, the migration time of some migratory birds has been advanced or delayed. For example, some species of migratory birds may start migrating northward earlier because spring arrives earlier; conversely, if the weather is still warm before the end of autumn, the time of southward migration may be delayed. Length of daylight: This is the most stable signal that triggers migratory bird migration behavior. As the length of daylight changes, the hormone levels in birds also change, prompting them to prepare for migration. Temperature: Changes in temperature also affect the migration decisions of migratory birds, especially in terms of food resource availability and habitat conditions. Environmental changes: Factors such as changes in habitat and human activities may also affect the migration routes and times of migratory birds. In short, migratory birds migrate seasonally on a large scale every year according to certain patterns, but the specific migration time and patterns may be affected by various natural and social factors. If you plan to watch migratory birds, please pay attention to the latest information released by local weather forecasts and wildlife protection departments to arrange the best bird-watching time.

The resort hotel is the destination of the trip, and Pullman Yueyang Hotel can meet all the needs of family vacations. 🎂 Birthday surprise: Because of the child's birthday, I specially booked a weekend trip to Yueyang. The hotel upgraded the lake view room, arranged room decoration, and sent a birthday cake, which made the children very happy. 🌊 Hardware facilities: Pullman Yueyang Hotel is adjacent to Dongting Lake, and the scenery outside the balcony is beautiful. The hotel has 3 swimming pools, including an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, and a children's pool, to meet the needs of different people. 🏋️‍♂️ Fitness facilities: The gym is well-equipped, but the body fat and weight meter will release the test data, which is a bit embarrassing. 🎠 Children's playground: The hotel has a large children's playground, which is suitable for family vacations. 🍽️ Dining experience: The hotel breakfast is rich in variety, but the seats are slightly insufficient during the peak summer vacation. Hunan rice noodles taste authentic, and Yueyang barbecue is famous, but it is salty for Wuhan stomach. 📸 Tourist attractions: Yueyang Tower and Baling Square are must-see attractions, and the hotel's wooden room card is also a souvenir worth collecting.

| Bamboo Shadow Mountain Residence. I was really looking forward to staying at Bamboo Shadow Mountain Residence, a lakeside inn with independent buildings, but it was fully booked 😭. I was not discouraged, and decided to visit it on my way back. I drove to the Panda Garden. After contacting the owner, she was so enthusiastic that she not only drove to pick us up for a visit, but also provided free bicycles. The service was amazing 👏! Bamboo Shadow Mountain Residence is newly opened in the Panda Garden. In the morning, when you open the curtains, you will see a picturesque view of the lake and mountains, full of green and blue. It is hard not to feel happy when staying here 🥰. Don't rush when you come to Yueyang, leave a day for Nanhu Lake. Sit on the terrace to watch the sunset, enjoy the lake, feel the evening breeze, eat a bowl of handmade rice noodles, smell the osmanthus fragrance, ride a bike by the lake, and see the cute pandas 🐼 in the afternoon. The homestay has a ferry to the Panda Garden, and the nearby St. Ann's Temple and church school are also very close. The room has a large floor-to-ceiling glass window, offering a panoramic view of the lake. It is located in the Dongting Lake Resort, close to the China Giant Panda Garden, with a shuttle bus service. The lake here is sparkling and suitable for fishing. Cycling and hiking are great, and you can enjoy nature to the fullest. Fall asleep to the sound of the lake at night, wake up to the sunshine in the morning, and stay away from the hustle and bustle. I came to play on the weekend and booked a tatami bed room and a mahjong suite. The Japanese-style decoration is great. The lobby is spacious, the front desk lady is enthusiastic, and there are tea and candies. The room is well-lit, the bathroom is separated from the wet and dry areas, the internet speed is fast, and the disposable slippers are super soft. The hotel is close to Yueyang Tower, and it takes 5 or 6 minutes by taxi without traffic jams. You can visit Bianhe Street and Baling Square next to Yueyang Tower to eat and watch the sunset. Yueyang is really fun! Come and experience it, darlings 💕

And the double public worry and joy sentiment of "not happy with things, not sad with things...worrying before the world, and enjoying after the world" is even more worthy of admiration.
