Budget Travel Diary | Ezhou Travel Guide

🚉Transportation Guide: Ezhou is really close to Wuhan, you can choose either high-speed rail or regular train. After getting off the station, you can directly take the No. 8 bus to the museum to reach Xishan Park (Ezhou is a small city, and the attractions are basically concentrated around the museum). Xishan Park Xishan Park is indeed a treasure spot that Su Shi and his brother Su Zhe visited many times. Ancient Lingquan Temple, Jiuqu Pavilion, Songfeng Pavilion, King Wu's Summer Palace, Wuchang Tower, and so on are scattered here. It is recommended to start climbing from the south gate and descend from the north gate to the museum, basically covering all the scenic spots along the way. Free, playtime 2 hours Xishan Scenic Area Wuchang Tower Wuchang Tower was built by later generations to commemorate Sun Quan's relocation of the capital to E County during the Three Kingdoms period, with the name meaning 'prospering through martial prowess'. Climbing the tower for a distant view, the wide river is refreshing, and you can see the Fan mouth where drums and horns competed in the past, the distant Ehuang Yangtze River Bridge, and Huanggang on the opposite side of the river. Ezhou Museum Free, playtime 1-2 hours, Ezhou Museum is small but full of surprises: for example, the name 'E' is really related to crocodiles, such as a whole exhibition hall of mirrors in various forms, such as the Three Kingdoms post office where you can stamp Ezhou scenic postmarks and the cultural and creative store with strange Wuchang fish dolls... As the hometown of ancient bronze mirrors, the bronze mirrors here are really worth stopping to admire slowly. Within a small square, the ingenuity of the ancients is fully displayed, and there is also a romantic story of 'mending a broken mirror'. Binjiang Park In Binjiang Park Square stands a tall statue of Sun Quan, not far behind him are Longpan Rock and Guanyin Pavilion. Guanyin Pavilion, also known as Longpan Rock Temple, was built during the Yuan Dynasty. After more than 700 years of river baptism, it stands firm in the river heart regardless of floods or droughts, a true spectacle, no wonder it is known as 'the number one pavilion along the Yangtze River'. Nowadays, for the protection of cultural relics, Guanyin Pavilion is not open to the public, but you can stand by the river and admire its elegance. Dayu Tower In the old streets of Ezhou's ancient city area, there is an ancient tower named after the Eastern Jin celebrity Yu Liang, who once admired the moon here, and later became famous for a thousand years because of Li Bai's poem 'The clear wind in the south tower at night, the style is in Wuchang. Yu Gong loves the autumn moon, riding on the mood to sit on the Hu bed'. Now only Dayu Tower remains in the ancient city, and other historical sites are almost nowhere to be found, so there is no need to make a special trip here. Liangzi Lake Ecotourism Area Speaking of Liangzi Lake, one cannot help but think of the famous Liangzi Lake hairy crabs and it is also the mother lake of Wuchang fish, the fish here are even fresher than other places! Moreover, the scenery on the islands of Liangzi Lake is very charming, you can camp or picnic here, a must-visit place for foodies and photography enthusiasts Lotus Mountain I really like this scenic spot, with vast misty waves and beautiful lake and mountain scenery, it's no wonder that poets and scholars of all dynasties have composed poems and writings here, leaving behind many well-known masterpieces! ~ Guanyin Pavilion The 'nail household' in the Yangtze River, after more than 700 years of river baptism, still stands firm, like a pillar in the current, majestic. During the flood season, the river rises and the pavilion is submerged, after the flood season, the water recedes and the rocks emerge. You can stroll along the river, many nearby residents enjoy playing chess, playing cards, and sunbathing here Recommended food: Intangible Cultural Heritage Wuchang Fish: Ezhou is the hometown of Wuchang fish, you must try the Wuchang fish here, it tastes different from what you eat in Wuhan!
