🗨This hotel is near Xiangyang Railway Station. My friend and I booked a standard room for around CNY 120. It's suitable for students on a weekend trip. The room has two 1.2 m beds, a TV, a table, two bottles of Danjiangkou water, and a full-length mirror. The quilt isn't very soft, but the room is cozy. The room is a bit small and there's not much space left after putting in two beds. However, the bathroom is separated into wet and dry areas. There's also a door chain, but I forgot to take a photo. The hotel is quite big and seems to occupy an entire building. 🌲The front desk is on the first floor. You can call the front desk if you need anything. The environment is relatively quiet. The hotel is near Xiangyang Railway Station and is within walking distance.🌟

October 9th, cloudy, number of steps: 12599 The itinerary was changed again and again due to the epidemic, so we had to return to Xiangyang. It’s a rare opportunity to come back and see the Xiangyang City described by Jin Yong (free). Xiangyang city is not big and it only takes more than an hour to walk around. There is a pedestrian street in the city with food and drinks. There is a river outside the city, it is so pleasant to take a walk. #CyclingChina

I came to the Yulin Military Academy and waited for the upcoming exciting Wuwu Emperor School. In AD 36, Liu Xiu went through a unified war that lasted for ten years and unified the countries that fell apart. However, the northern Xiongnu and Xianbei repeatedly committed the Dahan border. In order to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, Liu Xiu decreed to summon the generals in the "Yuntai 28" and held a grand military exercise at the Yulin Military Academy. The weather for a few days is very good. There is no hot and blazing sun, no pattering rain, warm and gentle weather, just like the feeling of the small city of Zaoyang, warm and comfortable. But at this time, the school ground still has a strong heat, and the heat wave is followed by a burst of heat, and the persons cheeks are hot and red, which is an impassioned passion radiated from the bottom of my heart. The galloping horses and the flying dust test not only the Yuma's superb technology but also the sensitive reaction ability. The battlefield is full of winds and waves, and it is lost when you accidentally. Therefore, it is not only necessary to liberate the hands and wield the knife and gun on the galloping horseback, but also to respond to the surrounding environment with extreme sensitivity, and to make the most favorable judgment and the most effective response in an instant. seems to have returned to the turbulent era of the yellow sand. Thousands of young lang have left their parents, left their sweethearts, left their hometown and rushed to the front line, throwing their heads and sprinkling blood, just for the dream in the heart. Only to solve the battlefield for the country to die, why the horse is still wrapped in corpses, is a singer and lovely person.

As a native of Xiangyang, I always thought the scenery at my doorstep couldn't compare to distant lands—until last week when I brought my out-of-town bestie to stay at Yuelai Hotel (Xiangyang East Station OCT Fantasy Resort Branch). That's when I discovered how many surprises my familiar city held! 🌙【"Xiangyang Chronicles" at the Breakfast Table】 My friend is a beef noodle fanatic, so I specifically took her to the hotel's breakfast area for "inspection." Watching the chef toss alkaline noodles into boiling water and the steam rising as beef bone broth was poured, I suddenly remembered childhood mornings following my grandpa to noodle shops. The beef noodles here didn't disappoint: the broth simmered for a full 8 hours, and with a drizzle of chili oil and a mix of pickled beans, my friend devoured two bowls and wanted more🌶. A local uncle nearby, seeing us enjoy our meal, smiled and said, "They're generous with the beef here—more than my usual spot!" 🎢【"Childhood Nostalgia" at OCT】 Taking my friend by shuttle to OCT, the driver reminisced: "This area used to be farmland, now it's a hotspot for young people." Inside the park, the changes were striking: the carousel that felt thrilling as a kid was now a dreamy photo spot, while the new "Galactic Adventure" rollercoaster weaved between buildings, offering screams and glimpses of Xiangyang's ancient city walls🎡. Tired from playing, we bought sugar paintings at the "Fantasy Market"—the vendor was the same grandpa who once had a stall at People's Square. Suddenly, Xiangyang's blend of old and new felt incredibly romantic. 🍢【"City Code" at the Late-Night Eatery】 At night, we headed to a barbecue joint near the hotel. The moment we sat down, the owner asked, "The usual? Mild spice, less scallions?" Turns out, this was my college roommate's and my "secret spot." The sizzling beef fat burst with cumin and juices upon the first bite; garlic-covered grilled oysters made my friend say they were fresher than coastal cities'🍢. Passing my old middle school on the way back, the sticky rice wrap stall was still there—it hit me why locals always say, "No matter how good food is elsewhere, nothing beats the warmth of home." Local Musings: I used to think travel meant going far, but staying at a hotel in my own city as a "tourist" made me see Xiangyang's beauty—in beef noodle broth, OCT's lights, and barbecue smoke. And Yuelai Hotel? It strung all these wonders together perfectly.

| Happy moments at Yuelai Hotel. Girls! Coming to Xiangyang with my bestie, Yuelai Hotel (Xiangyang East Railway Station OCT Fantasy Resort Branch) became our happy home🥳!

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiangyang Guangde Temple offers a rare retreat of serenity. Located 13 kilometers west of Xiangyang City in Hubei Province, adjacent to the historic Longzhong, the temple was established during the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty and is renowned as one of the prominent Buddhist monasteries in Hubei's history. Inside the temple, towering ancient trees provide shade, while outside, clear waters encircle the grounds. The ancient ginkgo tree, bestowed the title "Protector of the Dharma" by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, stands as a testament to the passage of time with its lush branches and leaves. The Duobao Pagoda is another treasure of the temple, built between the seventh and ninth years of the Ming Hongzhi era. This Sino-Indian style ancient pagoda features 45 stone-carved seated Buddhas embedded throughout its interior and exterior, leaving visitors in awe. On May 31, 2025, the temple held a scripture chanting ceremony for the Dragon Boat Festival, attracting numerous devout followers who joined in to share the blessings of Buddha and experience the joy of Dharma. If you missed this event, you can still visit the temple at other times to immerse yourself in its tranquility and harmony.

Strolling along the cobblestone paths, you can feel the solemnity and majesty of the ancient temple, listen to the monks chanting scriptures, and let your worries fade away.
