Master Zhu is knowledgeable in Feng Shui. The Ming Dynasty Mingling Mausoleum in Zhongxiang, the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, and the Thirteen Tombs in Beijing together constitute the history, culture, and architectural aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty's imperial tombs. The Mingling Mausoleum, as an isolated site from the Jiajing era, is both unique and corroborates the existing structures. It's worth a visit. Moreover, the people of Zhongxiang are very warm, hospitable, and friendly. 🌹

Mochou Village is hailed as the No. 1 folk village in Hubei. I heard it was incredibly popular a few years ago, but the number of visitors has decreased significantly in the last two years. When we visited, the number of visitors was just right, making it a very pleasant experience. The village itself is man-made, yet the scenery is beautiful. Because of the moderate visitor numbers, it felt much better than other folk villages. The village itself is free, and there are performances in the evening. The most worthwhile nighttime activity is the iron-making performance. If you really want to see iron-making, this is a great choice. Perhaps because of the decreased visitor numbers in the last two years, the management of the scenic area seems less attentive; I hope this can be improved, and I sincerely hope that such a beautiful village can continue to thrive.

There are mountains and water, it is a good place to escape the summer heat, suitable for slow travel. You can go rafting in the Beauty Valley, and the children like it very much. It is very windy from the Green Forest Village to the top of the mountain, so you can prepare a jacket🧥. When we went to the Tongtianxia Scenic Area, there were not many people, and the scenery was beautiful. Any photo can be used as a screen saver, which makes people linger.

大口国家森林公园景色不错，就是现在水量不大，所谓天池也很小。网上照片都是滤镜，水没那么绿，路不大好走，不要穿拖鞋，想玩水可以穿凉鞋或者把拖鞋放包里。但里面蚊子飞虫真的很多，进门开始就不停有蚊子在面前，一路上耳边一直嗡嗡嗡，有的还飞眼睛里去了。老公说因为人少，人多点就分散了，也不知道是不是这样！🤭

It's perfect for families, with two more thrilling sections and the rest consisting of gentle streams, waves, and calmer waterways. It's suitable for families with children and those who don't like thrills. The scenery is beautiful, there are plenty of rest areas, and rescue personnel are available. Overall, it's a great experience.

The Kongshan Cave Scenic Area is still under construction. The main cave is very magical. The underground water washes the cave in a bizarre way. The entrance of the cave is at the bottom of the mountain. The cave goes deeper and deeper. It takes about an hour to visit. Finally, you will climb about ten floors from the cave to the ground.
