    The hotel boasts a great location and affordable prices. My two-night stay was excellent, and it's very convenient for getting around. In the evenings, you can easily walk to the Yellow Crane Tower, Hubu Alley snack street, Tanhualin, and the Yangtze River Bridge. The hotel's location on Liangdao Street is convenient, and the price is reasonable, making it a great value.

    The museum is free, just need to make a reservation. We arrived an hour before closing time, so it was very rushed, but the advantage was that we didn't have to queue to see the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue; we could just walk in. Unfortunately, we missed the chime bell performance. The gold artifacts of King Liangzhuang were absolutely stunning. We also managed to buy the souvenirs we wanted before closing time!

    It was pretty good. The climb was of moderate difficulty, and the cable car down the mountain prevented overexertion of the knees. There was no queue for the cable car down just after 3 PM, which was great. I love Wudang Mountain most in the early morning; there are no tourists at Nanyan Palace then, and the peace and sunshine are just right.

    This was my third visit to the Three Gorges Dam. The first time was before construction even began, the second time it was under construction, and this time, seeing the completed Three Gorges Dam was truly awe-inspiring. The Chinese builders are truly magnificent. I carefully watched the raising and lowering of ships through the five-stage ship lock, and I was completely captivated.

    When accompanying my parents on a trip to the Three Gorges in Yichang, a visit to the dams and gorges was a must. For seniors in their 80s, the best option was the VIP package, which included less walking, less queuing, a dedicated guide, a private vehicle, and a private area. Our guide, Xiao Yang, was also very professional and responsible. My parents were satisfied, and the trip was well worth it.

    The driver was very enthusiastic and attentive during the tour, patiently explaining things to us and acting as both guide and photographer. It would have been even better if he could have been punctual. I'll contact you again if I don't have any friends coming next time.

    Shennongjia is wonderful; the scenery is beautiful and unique, it's a comfortable place to escape the summer heat, and there are no mosquitoes. The food is also delicious, though a bit strong in flavor. It's a great place to drink tea and chat. So many flowers and plants, so beautiful!

    Yichang is definitely a hidden gem of a tourist city in Hubei. During the May Day holiday, a road trip along the G348 Three Gorges Geological Highway offered breathtaking scenery all the way. The Three Gorges Family Scenic Area is an absolute must-see, with its magnificent gorges, clear waters, and the unique Tujia ethnic minority performances of the traditional wedding lament and boat tracker demonstrations. These live performances set against the backdrop of the mountains and rivers create a truly immersive experience! Highly recommended! 👍

    Pingshan Canyon The canyon is so deep it seems to have no ground, steep cliffs reach for the sky. A plank road soars into the clouds, mist hangs over the canyon entrance. A winding stream with rushing waterfalls, a clear lake with blue waters. Willow-leaf boats float on the ferry, passenger boats travel on the green stream. Where the canyon narrows, it truly deserves the name "One Man's Pass." November 6, 2025
