Things to do in Shiquan

My trip to Wudang Mountain far exceeded my expectations! Reaching the Golden Summit and overlooking the surging sea of ​​clouds, the ancient architectural complex built against the mountainside was magnificent. The Taoist temples along the way were serene and ancient, and the mountain breeze, carrying the scent of pine, was refreshing and invigorating. The scenic area's signage was clear, and the staff were attentive and helpful. Every step along the mountain path revealed a beautiful view, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the profound cultural heritage of this sacred mountain – a truly unforgettable journey through its mountains, waters, and culture.

Basically it is a big theme park that recreates the Tang Dynasty vibes and gorgeous era during the Tang Dynasty period. Best to go late evening and stay until all the lights up. If short on travel time actually can skip this place.

Because of the rain that day, the ape trail was closed, so we could only choose the bird trail. It was still a worthwhile trip. If you don't choose one of the trails when you arrive at Jianmen Pass, you won't be able to feel how dangerous it is.

Da Ci'en Temple is where Xuanzang translated Buddhist scriptures. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is ancient and solemn, the ancient cypress trees in the courtyard are serene, and the murals in the Sanzang Courtyard are full of stories, showcasing a rich historical heritage. The only drawbacks are that it gets quite crowded and noisy during peak season, and there's an extra charge to climb the pagoda due to the narrow steps. Those interested in Silk Road history should definitely visit the temple for a closer look; for those simply looking to take photos, the outer plaza offers ample opportunities for capturing scenic views.

As a historical C-drama fan, visiting The Longest Day in Chang’an Theme Block was exciting! 🏮 The traditional architecture made us feel like we had stepped back into ancient China.However, our booking experience was confusing. We weren’t told that banquet seats needed to be reserved in advance, and without a Chinese mobile number, we struggled. Thankfully, a helpful staff member managed to get us seats, although my sister and I had to sit separately.The included dress-up experience was also disappointing. The makeup was rushed, and we looked far too pale, so we removed it straight after the banquet. We had hoped to walk around in hanfu and fully immerse ourselves in the experience.Overall, we’d love to do it again, but next time, we’d skip the banquet and dress-up package. ❤️

It's great in every way. The only starting point for the Three Gorges Summit hike is Baidi City, and the scenery is beautiful. Food and drinks on the mountain cost 10 yuan per serving. There are many steep uphill sections, and the hike is about 10 kilometers and takes about 6 hours. After the hike, there are local private cars available for 30 yuan per person to take you down the mountain from the high-speed rail station or other places.

It was pretty good! Although there was a bit of a wait, the presentation started at 3 PM and was quite good. The two-hour explanation was engaging from start to finish. Thankfully, the presenter was excellent. 😁

The ticket price is high, the tourism form is single, it is more suitable for free opening
