Night Tour of Yichang Chexi|Encounter the Dreamlike Tujia Culture
Yichang is not only home to the stunning Three Gorges landscape but also rich Tujia culture. Located in Dianjun District, the "Chexi Folk Custom Tourist Area" showcases the charm of Tujia life—smiling Tujia maidens, the rhythmic sounds of oil pressing and blacksmithing, and the melodious tunes of ancient Nanyue music, all painting a vibrant picture of Chexi.
Chexi offers both day and night tours. Don’t miss the "Large-Scale Immersive Landscape Performance" on the old street, where the scenes change as the show progresses. Enjoy the performances while exploring the scenic area and experiencing Tujia culture—this immersive performance is truly fantastic! 👍
