    It's also good to learn more about the history of the Yellow Crane Tower. You can see the Yangtze River Bridge and TV Tower in the distance, and it's interesting to see how Turtle Hill and Snake Hill connect. Since you're paying 70 yuan, you might as well spend more time there. I especially liked the different and beautifully designed trash cans on each floor!

    A two-hour guided tour is necessary because there are so many national treasures; it would be even better if the tour could be extended. The guide's explanations were very detailed, humorous, and engaging; a good guide indeed. The chime bells are a must-see. The chime bells are already listed in UNESCO's Memory of the World Register, how could you miss them?

    Enshi Grand Canyon has world-class natural landscapes, and the mountains and rivers here contain the most authentic 'Chinese taste'. The person in charge of Liangpin Shop said, "We hope to use the natural Xiongqi to interpret the vastness of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the unique definition of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the region, so that this reunion festival not only has the warmth of 'moon is the hometown of Ming', but also the surprise of 'taste from the landscape'."

    One of my favorite, most beautiful place I've been to while living and traveling around China for 2 years. The mountains and temples are absolutely stunning. It's full of history, spirituality and lore. It's a must-see place for people interested in taoism and martial arts. Some attractions are easily accessible by bus, while others require more walking up the mountain or even cable car. There are also shops and restaurants near the bus stops which is convenient too. I would recommend travelers to book a hotel on the mountain for at least 3 nights so you can visit all the easily accessible temples. If you want to go off the beaten path, then you should stay for a longer time. I definitely want to visit again to see and experience more the mountains have to offer.

    The best observation point of the Three Gorges Dam, standing at the commanding height of Tanziling, can see the whole picture of the dam and the five-level lock. The huge concrete building spans the Yangtze River, like a giant dragon lying on the river, and the five-level locks are progressively advancing, and the ships pass in an orderly manner. The strong visual impact is amazing at the greatness of human engineering. However, there are too many people during May 1st, and it may be more comfortable to see it in the off-season.

    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!

    The scenic area combines various natural landscapes and cultural performances. It's not bad. It's a little bit strenuous. It's still a bit hot in the summer vacation, but there is a cave inside that is very cool. You can go there to escape the heat when it's too hot. The overall commercialization is relatively high. It is recommended to use a small sightseeing car. If you don't like walking, you can rent one and drive it yourself. I forgot to mention the travel meals inside. I signed up for a one-day tour. I need to pay an extra 35 yuan to have lunch at a store at noon. There are 10 people at a table. It's very unpalatable and very pitfalls. Avoid thunder

    Pingshan Canyon is a breathtakingly beautiful place! Stepping into it is like entering a fairytale painting. The canyon is deep and secluded, with sheer cliffs on both sides, lush with greenery and full of life. The most stunning feature is undoubtedly the water, crystal clear and jade-green, shimmering in the sunlight—a beauty beyond words. Boating through it feels like floating, as if traveling through a painting; every frame is a visual feast. The scenic area has complete facilities, clear signage, and friendly, attentive staff, making the visit very smooth. The boardwalk is well-designed, allowing for easy access to the scenery while ensuring safety. There are also many photo spots along the way, where every shot is a masterpiece. The area offers a variety of activities, from boating to thrilling canyon adventures. Whether you prefer leisurely sightseeing or seeking adventure, you'll find something here.
