The Three Gorges Dam in Yichang, Hubei Province is extremely controversial, with both advantages and disadvantages. Although there are analyses of it in books, it is rare to see it in person. The spectacular dam architecture, the elaborately arranged ship locks, the unique cultural history of the reservoir area, the difficulties of the construction project, the benefits it brings, the concerns it causes, and the saying: reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, definitely makes sense and is worth a visit and a deep experience. #travelinspiration#besttravelexperience#overseastravel#i miss you

In the past, I read a line from the poem "The Yellow Crane Tower Farewells Meng Haoran to Guangling" by the poet Li Bai, "An old friend said goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower in the West". When I go to Hubei and Wuhan, I must go to the Yellow Crane Tower. It is a famous scenic spot in Wuhan. Climbing to the top of the Yellow Crane Tower requires a lot of stairs and requires some physical effort to get to the top. However, the beautiful scenery is in front of you and is very exciting. It is definitely worth a visit. #Overseas travel#High-altitude viewing#I’m so hung up#A good place to go in hot summer

Wuhan University is one of the universities with the oldest history in China. It originated from the Self-Strengthening Academy founded by Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Huguang, at the request of the Qing government in 1893. For more than a hundred years, Wuhan University has emphasized and promoted the university spirit of "self-reliance, perseverance, truth-seeking, and innovation." I was fortunate to visit this place. The green environment is very well done, the traditional ancient architectural style is very imposing, and when I entered the university campus, I felt the strong academic atmosphere, which is absolutely suitable for studying. #travelinspiration #overseastravel #i miss you so much #hot summer places

The Hubei Provincial Museum has a collection of more than 240,000 pieces, including nearly 1,000 national first-class cultural relics, each of which is a national treasure and very impressive. Those bronze artifacts, lacquerware, bamboo slips, and the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, have been famous for a long time. Seeing them up close is particularly surprising. The blue and white porcelain vase from the Yuan Dynasty is the treasure of the museum and is worthy of its name. It is a rare opportunity to visit and it is well worth the trip. #Overseas Travel#Explore the Museum#I'm so worried

Those who love water and mountains must listen to this. Because today I will review Xiandaohu, located in Hubei Province, China. This place is very beautiful. It is a very beautiful view of the river and mountains. It is considered the Pearl of Hubei. It is very worthwhile to visit. I would like to recommend that those who have plans in the future, those who have plans to travel to Hubei Province in the central part of China must stop by Xiandaohu. It is really worth visiting. #MissingNature

The Yellow Crane Tower, the first of the four famous buildings in China, has been destroyed for a long time in history and its structure has changed several times. To come to a city, it is necessary to go to the place where it can best represent the city.

Discovered a new idea for avoiding holiday crowds by traveling in reverse. If you don’t want to be squeezed by people, you can take some time to walk around a university, where there are fewer people, beautiful scenery, and fresh air. Today I went to Hubei Institute of Fine Arts and found a new exhibition ——🦋The Appointment of Breaking the Cocoon, New Creation Exhibition (9.29-10.30) Although the exhibition hall is not large, it is very exquisite, and each 🦋 butterfly is given a different meaning. After viewing the exhibition, you can stroll around the campus, which is very pleasant😌 Navigation: Hubei Institute of Fine Arts, Canglong Island Campus, A9 School of Visual Arts and Design Tips: No reservation needed, just bring your ID card and register at the entrance to enter Art Exhibition Check-in

Hubei Homo Erectus Sites: The main sites include the "Xuetang Liangzi Site" and "Jianshi Homo Erectus Site" located in Yunyang District, Shiyan City. These are relatively niche attractions.

Xuan'en Tourist Street: Similar to Chongqing's Hongya Cave, it features a large cluster of ancient buildings, sculptures depicting the Tujia ethnic group's crying marriage culture, and well-maintained riverbanks. At night, the river comes alive with fountains and boat tours, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Hongya Cave.

#AugustDestinations2025 #Hubei #Suizhou #CountryGarden #DaCi'enTemple The Country Garden Phoenix Hotel in Suizhou is comfortable and quiet, right next to the Country Garden, and a fantastic location. 👍 The DaCi'enTemple in Suizhou is also majestic and solemn.

The weather in Wuhan these days is really great, sunny every day, very comfortable😍, but I have to say, Wuhan is really big, without a plan you’ll definitely take detours😅😅 ㅤ (🌹 My friend and I are both introverts and don’t want to join group tours with strangers, so we chose a private custom tour.

#chinatravel Exploring Wuhan Town in Hubei was a lively and colorful experience. The streets are full of energy, with a mix of modern shops, traditional markets, and local eateries offering tempting aromas at every turn. I enjoyed wandering along the busy lanes, spotting old buildings with intricate details that tell stories of the city’s past. The snack stalls are a highlight, serving local favorites like hot dry noodles and spicy duck neck, which are must tries if you want a taste of authentic Wuhan flavors. In between the hustle and bustle, there are peaceful spots such as riverside promenades where you can slow down and enjoy the view. The blend of history, culture, and everyday life makes Wuhan Town feel both vibrant and welcoming. Whether you are here to shop, eat, or simply soak in the local vibe, it is a place that leaves you with lasting memories of Hubei’s charm.

#chinatravel Located along the mysterious 31°N latitude, Shennongjia Nature Reserve is a land of legends—where Shennong is said to have tasted hundreds of herbs and where wildman sightings are whispered about.

Travelers can fly in or take a high-speed train to either Shennongjia or the closer Xingshan Station (recommended).

Whether you’re chasing myths or simply soaking in nature, Shennongjia is a refreshing journey into the wild.

#chinatravel Taking a cruise down the Yangtze River is one of those slow travel experiences that just hits different. You’re not rushing anywhere, it’s all about soaking in the epic views while the boat glides through mountains, gorges and little riverside towns. Most cruises go through places like Hubei and Chongqing, and the landscapes are seriously next level. You’ll see cliffs rising straight out of the water, misty peaks, and old temples tucked into hillsides. Sometimes it feels like a scene from a movie. Plus, the vibe on the boat is super relaxed. Grab a drink, chill on the deck, and just watch the scenery float by. There are little stops along the way too, so you can hop off, explore a bit, then get back to cruising. It’s not action packed, but that’s kind of the point. Just easy days, good views and peaceful river energy. Perfect if you want to unplug and let China’s landscape do the talking.

When traveling with kids, what I feared most was hassle and exhaustion, and even carefully planned itineraries could have pitfalls. This time, I took my child to Enshi, Yichang, and Shennongjia, and the whole trip was easy and fun. I can't help but share my unique kid-friendly route with other moms! ㅤ 💖 Exclusive Companionship, Intimate Bond In the past, group tours were always rushed, with little time to interact with my child. This time, I planned it myself, and the entire trip was exclusive time for me and my child. While hiking in Shennongjia, he held my hand tightly, curiously observed the wild flowers and plants by the roadside, and chattered non-stop with questions. Every interaction made me feel incredibly happy. Without strangers disturbing us, the full devotion to companionship made our parent-child relationship even closer. ㅤ ⏰ Flexible Itinerary, Travel at Your Own Pace When traveling with kids, their routine is the top priority. While taking a boat trip through the Three Gorges in Yichang, my child was too excited the night before and didn't sleep well, so he woke up late. We temporarily adjusted our schedule, had a leisurely breakfast, and then set off, without feeling rushed. Every day, we played for as long as we wanted, and when tired, we found a quiet place to rest. This kind of travel, where you freely control the pace, is so comfortable. ㅤ 🚗 Diverse Transportation, Peace of Mind for the Whole Family Transportation is also crucial! The roads there are not easy to drive on. For a small family of 2-3 people, chartering a 5-seater economy car allows flexible travel through city streets and scenic area paths. It's quite reassuring. ㅤ 🌟 Featured Itinerary Reference Enshi Ethnic Charm Three-Day Tour Day 1: Enshi City - Pengjiazhai (admire the stilt house clusters, experience the charm of Tujia architecture) - Eat Shefan (a traditional Tujia dish) - Stay in a characteristic B&B Day 2: Wujiatai Tea Garden (experience tea picking and making, taste fresh green tea) - Visit Tusi City to learn about Tusi culture Day 3: Enshi Dixingu (walk the glass skywalk, explore unique karst landforms) - Return trip Yichang Landscape Wonders Two-Day Tour Day 1: Yichang - Three Gorges Waterfall (pass through "Water Curtain Cave", feel the magnificent water flow) - Taste Liangxia (a local dessert) Day 2: Qingjiang Fangshan (stroll along the suspended walkway, admire strange peaks and rocks) - In the afternoon, return to the city to explore the ancient streets Shennongjia Nature Exploration Three-Day Tour Day 1: Muyu Town - Guanmenshan (see rare animals and plants, visit the Nature Museum) - Stay in a forest hotel Day 2: Tianyan Scenic Area (walk the Rainbow Bridge, enjoy the beauty of the primeval forest) - Stargazing at night Day 3: Dajiuhu (enjoy the misty wetland scenery in the morning, watch black swans play) - Return trip Moms, don't hesitate!
