    Overall, it was alright! The kids had a good time! The only downside was that the ticket had to be verified at Gokurakuyu first, which was a bit of a hassle and inconvenient! You had to make a trip there, and I didn't know that at first. I only realized it when I got to the park's ticket checkpoint, so I had to go back to Gokurakuyu!

    A gentle evening breeze, carrying the unique moisture of the Yangtze River, brushed against the gunwale as the cruise ship slowly departed the dock, gradually unfolding the night of Wuhan. On the river, shimmering waves meandered along the wake of the ship, like scattered diamonds, reflecting the lights that lit up one after another on both banks—the eaves of the Yellow Crane Tower were adorned with a warm yellow halo, like a jade palace floating in the night; the neon lights along the riverbank stretched along the shoreline, intertwining with the lights of the rows of buildings on the opposite bank, weaving a flowing galaxy of light and shadow.

    Gude Temple, located at No. 74, Landslide, Huangpu Road, Hankou, Wuhan, Hubei Province, was founded by Long Xi in 1877, originally named Gude Thatched Hut. Between 1914 and 1919, the temple was expanded twice by its abbot, Chang Hong, and renamed Gude Temple, which means "to cherish the ancients and to save all with virtue." The name was inscribed on a plaque by Li Yuanhong himself. The temple covers nearly 30,000 square meters, with a building area of ​​nearly 8,000 square meters. It blends European and Asian religious architectural features, integrating the three major Buddhist schools of Mahayana, Hinayana, and Tibetan Buddhism. This is a rare sight among Chinese Buddhist temples, and is considered "a great wonder of Buddhist sites" and "the greatest wonder of Chinese Buddhist temples." It holds high architectural, cultural, and historical research value. Along with Guiyuan Temple, Baotong Temple, and Lianxi Temple, it is considered one of the four great Buddhist monasteries in Wuhan.

    The scenery was beautiful and spectacular, making the trip worthwhile. However, the boat facilities were somewhat outdated, especially the deck where several wooden sticks lay across the deck, posing a tripping hazard. It is recommended that improvements be made.

    It was very exciting! The parade girls were very pretty. It was thrilling and I had a lot of fun. Except for the wooden dragon ride which hurt my neck, everything else was great. I recommend it! The scenery was also quite beautiful. It was very interesting and I had a lot of fun. I'll definitely come again next time!

    The museum is free, just need to make a reservation. We arrived an hour before closing time, so it was very rushed, but the advantage was that we didn't have to queue to see the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue; we could just walk in. Unfortunately, we missed the chime bell performance. The gold artifacts of King Liangzhuang were absolutely stunning. We also managed to buy the souvenirs we wanted before closing time!
