LuotuoChevy: I chose this hotel because of the words ”Dangyang Hotel”. The location of the hotel is not in the city center, opposite the Dangyang Sports Center, but there are still many restaurants nearby, and there is also the hotel's own restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. This hotel must be a few years old. The Yingbin Building is shared with Home Inn, and the rooms are on the 6th and 7th floors. The front desk clerk was very warm and polite, which is worthy of praise. The facilities in the room are relatively old. From the layout, it can be seen that it used to be very good. I heard from the waiter that the rooms are full recently, but the hygienic condition is average. There is dirt on the faucets. This can actually be removed. The room The walls were peeling in many places and were not treated. The most unacceptable thing is that the lighting in the room is too dim. Even if the lights are turned on, they are not bright enough. The biggest plus point is that the shower room has a large amount of water. At least I feel a little comfort when taking a shower. Another thing worthy of praise is that the hotel's breakfast buffet is good. Although it doesn't have a lot of varieties, it can meet your breakfast needs. The freshly cooked noodles are very good!

Want to eat like a local? Don't miss out on these top Dangyang dishes and foodie spots.
The morning mist hasn’t yet lifted as I drive along County Road X230 into a lush area about 12 km southwest of Dangyang city—the Yiquan Mountain. The mountain resembles an overturned giant ship resting among the peaks, hence the name "Fuchuan Mountain." With over 85% forest coverage, the air is filled with the fresh, earthy scent of pine needles and soil. This is a national 4A-level scenic area and a key national cultural heritage site. Both the park and Yiquan Temple are open to the public free of charge. Entering the mountain: first, a 1,700-year-old ancient temple After parking and walking into the mountain, the first thing you encounter is the mountain gate of Yiquan Temple. Founded during the Jian’an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty by Chan Master Pujing, it was officially named "Yiquan Temple" by Master Zhiyi in the Sui Dynasty. It is one of the ancestral temples of the Tiantai school of Buddhism. Historically, it was ranked alongside Guoqing Temple in Tiantai, Zhejiang; Lingyan Temple in Jinan, Shandong; and Qixia Temple in Nanjing, Jiangsu, as one of the "Four Wonders of the World," earning the title "Crown of the Jingchu Forests." Visitors can receive 3 free blessing incense sticks upon entering the temple. The iron pagoda’s underground chamber charges 10 yuan. Passing through the mountain gate and the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the view suddenly opens up—the Mahavira Hall stands at the end of the courtyard. It is the largest ancient building in southern China, featuring a double-eaved xieshan roof style, standing 21 meters tall. Seventy-two golden nanmu wood pillars support the entire hall, showcasing Yuan Dynasty architectural style. In front of the hall are more than a dozen large iron cauldrons from the Sui Dynasty, along with iron kettles and bells from the Yuan Dynasty. On the side of the hall is a stone-carved image of Guanyin, said to be the work of the Tang Dynasty painting master Wu Daozi. I looked up at the colorful paintings on the flying eaves and dougong brackets of the hall. Though weathered, they remain magnificent. As the wind rustled through the treetops and the copper bells at the eaves jingled softly, I suddenly understood what it means to be a "famous mountain of the Three Chu regions." A corner encounter with the Northern Song iron pagoda Circling left from the main hall, on a ridge of the Qinglong Mountain foothills, the Lingjin Iron Pagoda suddenly comes into view without warning. Its official name is the "Buddha Tooth Relic Pagoda," commonly called the "Lingjin Iron Pagoda" or "Thousand Buddha Pagoda." Cast in the sixth year of the Jiayou era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1061), it imitates a wooden pavilion style, with eight sides and thirteen tiers, standing 16.945 meters tall and weighing 26,472 kilograms. It is the tallest, heaviest, and most complete ancient iron pagoda in China. The pagoda’s body has no mortise joints or welding; each piece is stacked and held in place by its own weight. The base features eight Vajra warriors, the body is carved with over a thousand Buddha images, and the top has flying eaves, dougong brackets, and dragon heads soaring into the air. Shooting the pagoda against the blue sky, the ancient bronze texture instantly conveys a profound sense of history. I circled the pagoda three times, my fingertips lightly brushing its cool surface. Nearly a thousand years of wind and rain have left little rust—this is the pinnacle of ancient Chinese metallurgy and metal corrosion resistance, silently standing on the hill. Pearl spring: clap your hands and "pearls" rise from the spring bottom Walking down from the iron pagoda, a clear spring at the foot of the mountain comes into view—this is Pearl Spring, one of the three famous intermittent springs in China. By the spring stands a Ming Dynasty stone stele inscribed "Han cloud long manifest holy place." Legend has it that after Guan Yu was killed, his spirit did not dissipate but rose on clouds and mist to the top of Yiquan Mountain, shouting "Return my head." He was then enlightened by Master Pujing and converted to Buddhism—making this the birthplace of Guan Gong worship. I paused on the Pearl Bridge and followed the travel notes to clap my hands and stomp my feet—miraculously, strings of crystal-clear bubbles immediately rose from the spring bottom, like strings of pearls ascending. Song Dynasty poet Su Shi called it "jade rinsing and pearl spraying," and Ming Dynasty writer Yuan Hongdao praised it as "pearl spring jumping jade." The spring water reflects the surrounding ancient trees, with dappled light and shadow, making every captured frame lively and soothing. Millennium ginkgo and forest trail The millennium-old ginkgo tree from the Tang Dynasty inside Yiquan Temple is another surprise. At 1,300 years old, it is so thick that it takes three or four people to encircle it, with branches spreading like a canopy. If you visit in late autumn, the ground is covered with golden ginkgo leaves like scattered gold. Standing under the tree in a light-colored coat, any pose looks like an autumn photo spread. Outside the temple is a dawn redwood trail. The straight rows of dawn redwoods have a cinematic filter effect, and walking against the light makes your hair glow. With over 85% forest coverage, Yiquan Mountain is itself a national forest park, and strolling here naturally slows your pace. In the mountains is the Xianlie Shrine—the earliest Guan Temple in China—as well as the Qing Dynasty stone stele marking the "first place of manifestation," Guan Gong’s whetstone, and other Three Kingdoms relics. When tired, you can rest on the stone pier bridge in Huaxi Wetland. The lake water is clear, Chinese-style pavilions reflect in it, and the atmosphere is fully immersed in traditional culture. Descending the mountain: taste the flavor of Dangyang Before leaving the scenic area, I ordered a pot of Guochang chicken at a farmhouse restaurant at the foot of the mountain—fresh, spicy, and flavorful, a genuine Yichang specialty. Paired with a bowl of Changbanpo flower rice, it’s satisfyingly spicy. After the meal, you can visit Dangyang Guanling (a 15-minute drive), the burial site of Guan Yu’s body, which perfectly complements the "manifestation" legend of Yiquan Mountain.

Once it becomes 5A, this sense of Zen may be drowned out by tourist crowds. If you plan to include Yiquan Mountain in your overall Yichang itinerary or want to visit Dangyang Guanling and Changbanpo together, tell me which city you’re departing from and how many days you’ll stay. I’ll help you plan a seamless Three Kingdoms + Buddhist culture route.
I'm writing this piece on Baili Huang as a "travelogue with a guide" – after all, pure emotional expression is useless; you still need to avoid pitfalls when you go. First, a location: 1,200 meters above sea level, at the junction of Yiling, Yuan'an, and Dangyang counties, the only alpine grassland in the Three Gorges area, an outdoor filming location for "Under the Hawthorn Tree," and "Hubei's Little New Zealand." The average summer temperature is 22–26℃, making it a summer retreat for Yichang locals. Arrival: The mountain road is the first test From Yichang city, it's a 1.5-hour drive + 30 minutes on a mountain road. Navigate to "Baili Huang South Gate" (the North Gate has many sharp turns and steep slopes, not recommended for new drivers). The south route is a two-lane asphalt road with gentle curves; the old north route has many tight turns and can cause motion sickness. Take motion sickness medicine in advance. The best photos are taken when ascending the mountain after 4 PM. Parking is CNY 10/day, and the South Gate parking lot has charging piles. If you don't have a car, there's a tourist special line from Yichang East Station (CNY 22–25, infrequent, easily full during peak season), but carpooling/chartered car (CNY 300–400 round trip) is more reliable. Tickets (2026 current prices, don't buy on-site) · Basic package CNY 105: Entrance ticket + scenic shuttle bus (wristband for unlimited transfers all day, a must-buy as attractions are spread out and walking will tire you out) · Adult single ticket CNY 118 + scenic shuttle bus CNY 25, buying on-site is more expensive · CNY 199 package: Includes Cloud Coaster + Sika Deer Park + Glass Skywalk + Archery + Grass Sliding. Buy this if you want to do activities. · Hubei Culture and Tourism Annual Pass waives the entrance ticket; you only need to pay CNY 25 for the scenic shuttle bus. Two-day, one-night tested itinerary (summer retreat/camping version, most classic) 1. Afternoon arrival, focusing on sunset + bonfire + starry sky 1. 00 PM South Gate ticket check, take the sightseeing bus clockwise (less walking). 2. 30 PM Qingqiu Secret Realm · Immortal Fox Tribe – an immersive Xianxia park that just opened in July 2026, included in the ticket price with no extra charge. Features a naked-eye 3D tunnel + Xianxia NPCs. The white ancient building complex is great for photos. Shows are at 11:00 AM/3:30 PM (canceled in case of rain). 4:00 PM Filming location for "Under the Hawthorn Tree" – white swings, Love Post Office, Love Boardwalk. The hawthorn tree where Zhang Yimou filmed Jingqiu and Laosan is here. Light-colored long dresses are best for portraits. Tour groups gather after 2 PM, so go early. 4. 30 PM Sika Deer Park – tickets include free deer food. The deer are gentle and will nuzzle your palm, a magnet for young children. 5. 30 PM Ten Thousand Mu Cloud Grassland + Wind Turbine Matrix – Baili Huang's signature scene: rolling, breast-shaped grasslands (unique to southern grasslands), turning wind turbines, free-roaming cattle and sheep, and clouds low enough to touch. The white church is a photo spot; on a clear day, any shot looks like a Windows desktop background. 6. 30 PM Wait for the sunset at the mountaintop – orange glow spills over the grasslands, wind turbine silhouettes, stunning without filters. 8:00 PM Bonfire at the camping base (fixed on Fridays and Saturdays, free). Barbecue grill rental is CNY 120/set. It's recommended to buy ingredients at a supermarket down the mountain and bring them up; instant noodles are CNY 15 and water is CNY 8 on the mountain. 10:00 PM Stargazing – high altitude with no light pollution. From June to August, you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye on clear nights. Bring a tripod. 2. Sunrise sea of clouds + high-altitude activities 5:30 AM Watch the sunrise from the summit observation deck – the probability of a sea of clouds is highest the day after rain. Get there before 5 AM to secure a spot. It's around 16℃ in the morning and evening; you'll catch a cold if you don't wear a light jacket/windbreaker. This is a mistake 90% of tourists make. 8:30 AM After breakfast, Glass Skywalk (200 meters suspended, 1,300 meters above sea level, those with acrophobia can walk on the inner side) → Grass Sliding → Cloud Coaster (1,200 meters, self-controlled speed, suitable for all ages). 11:00 AM Paragliding Base (self-funded, starting from CNY 680, overlooking the entire grassland, top-tier photo spot, but may be suspended due to strong winds/rain/morning fog, call to confirm before going). 1:00 PM Return trip. If you only have one day: South Gate → Cloud Horse Ranch (equestrian show at 11 AM) → Hawthorn Tree → Sika Deer Park → Wind Turbine Grassland → Glass Skywalk. A relaxed 5.5-hour trip. Four accommodation options, depending on your budget Category Recommendation Price (weekday/weekend) Who it's suitable for Starway Hotel Independent balcony overlooking the grassland, includes breakfast CNY 298–468 / CNY 328–508, each room includes 2 entrance tickets + scenic shuttle bus Family/seniors first choice Muge/Yunju Tents King bed + private bathroom, pull back the curtain to see stars CNY 318–520 Couples/young people Bring your own tent Site fee CNY 100, public restrooms — Budget travelers Daotianyi Homestay 20 minutes drive down the mountain CNY 150–260/room, includes three meals, CNY 80 per person on average Older adults staying for summer retreat Tents have poor insulation; even in summer, you need a thin blanket at night. Wind turbines have a continuous low-frequency noise at night, so light sleepers should be cautious. Mosquitoes are fierce; strong repellent is essential. Food · Braised pork trotters with potatoes – mountain potatoes are soft, at the Wedding Plaza Restaurant, average CNY 50 per person · Air-dried lamb hotpot – Hongye Inn, small pot CNY 68 · Yiling baked potatoes – Wangshen Snack at South Gate, CNY 10, crispy outside, soft inside · Freshly squeezed goat milk CNY 5/cup, boiled, local specialty Avoid: Snacks at shops in the scenic area are overpriced and generally not good; look for stalls with long lines of locals. Mineral water is CNY 8; bring your own. Several common pitfalls 1. Cool ≠ no sun protection: High altitude with no shade, strong UV + grass reflection. You can get sunburned in 2 hours between 10 AM and 3 PM. Full sun protection: sunscreen + hat + ice sleeves. 2. Windy: Hold onto long skirts, hats, sunglasses, and phones. If something falls from the glass skywalk, it won't be retrieved. 3. Paragliding depends on the weather. 4. For horse riding, choose the official coaches at Cloud Horse Ranch. Private horses on the roadside charge more and offer no guarantee. 5. Scenic shuttle bus queues are 20–40 minutes in July–August/weekends. Try to go on weekdays. Book accommodation 3 days in advance. 6. South Gate parking lot is full by 10 AM. Arrive early or enter the park in the afternoon. Connecting to your previous Yichang itinerary Baili Huang is usually placed as a branch of Line A (Two days for Three Gorges Dam + local residences → One day and one night in Baili Huang for summer retreat → Return or end with Yichang Museum). If you're coming from Jingzhou for a combined trip, Jingzhou to Yichang by high-speed rail is 1.5 hours. Baili Huang is northeast of Yiling District, close to the city. On your return day, you can visit Yuquan Temple + Guanling in Dangyang (both to the north, no backtracking). What season to go? Summer is best for avoiding heat. The ski resort is also open in winter (3 beginner + 2 intermediate slopes). In autumn, Red Leaf Ridge + Hawthorn Tree are also great for photos in October. Tell me your approximate travel month and number of people (with seniors/children?), and I can further refine accommodation and routes.

It gets really cold on the mountain, so be sure to bring a jacket. Don't assume you won't need one just because it's summer; it's especially chilly in the evenings and mornings. 2. The UV rays are very strong on the grassland, so be sure to apply sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 3. The scenic area is very large, so it's recommended to take the shuttle bus; walking will be exhausting. 4. The Dragon Boat Festival holiday will likely be crowded, so consider visiting during off-peak times or entering the scenic area early in the morning. 5.

We fully enjoyed the weekend in Yichang with friends: comfortable stay, food right downstairs, easy self-driving, great photo spots, no rushing, no disappointments—this is what travel should be like. We stayed at Yage Huanju Hotel on Zhongshan Road, Yichang (Yichang Binjiang Park CBD Shopping Center Branch), and the location is unbeatable—right downstairs is Zhongshan Road Food Street, where radish dumplings, cold shrimp, baked potatoes, barbecue, and noodles smell delicious from morning till night, the lively atmosphere wrapping around you. No need to detour to find food; breakfast and late-night snacks are all in one place. A few steps to the riverside for strolling and eating, with sunsets and river breezes making every photo atmospheric. The rooms were a pleasant surprise: clean and bright, with soft yet supportive latex mattresses, skin-friendly breathable down bedding, separate wet and dry bathrooms with tropical rainforest showers to wash away the day’s fatigue; soft mood lighting, electronic aromatherapy for relaxation, every detail perfected. After a day of walking, you won’t want to get up once you lie down, and the sleep quality is simply divine. The hotel offers convenient parking, very friendly for self-driving guests—wake up, eat well, and set off to start your day perfectly. Photo opportunities are abundant, and every casual post gets tons of questions—this is the right way to enjoy a rainy day in Yichang📸 📍Yichang Dangyang Yuquan Mountain Scenic Area Visiting here on a rainy day has a unique charm, unlocking the “ink painting mode.” The Pearl Spring is especially lively in the rain, with water gushing from underground, raindrops falling on the surface, splashing tiny droplets that mingle with bubbles from the spring, like scattered diamonds on the ground. The rainy mountain forest is spotless, with the fresh scent of grass and soil blending together. A deep breath fills you with negative ions, instantly escaping the city’s noise. 📍Yichang Longyang Academy Hidden in Yu’an, Yichang, this Hui-style secret spot feels like Jiangnan’s misty rain has been transported here on rainy days. Flying eaves with black tiles, carved window lattices, and five courtyards—rainwater drips from the eaves, splashing on the bluestone slabs, making you feel as if you’re in an ancient Jiangnan town! Wearing Hanfu and walking through the courtyard, the bluestone paths, wooden beams, and bamboo lanterns make every corner a perfect photo spot. Returning in the evening to Zhongshan Road Yage Huanju Hotel, the food street downstairs is still lively. Enjoy an authentic Yichang meal, then return to the comfortable room to unwind. This day had city life, Zen mountains and waters, traditional Chinese charm, and a cozy place to rest. Rainy days in Yichang are never a travel regret but another kind of romance. No need to chase the sunlight or rush the itinerary—just slow down. The ancient charm hidden in the mist, the unhurried relaxation, and the casually captured light and shadow are all unique surprises of rainy days. In Yichang’s misty rain, encounter unexpected gentleness and healing💕

Coming during the off-season is such a steal!!! Yichang! Just checked out!! Stayed for three days... Coming during the off-season is such a steal!!! Winter slows down time, and the warm sunshine seeps into the mountains, Making idleness seem all the more natural. 'Mountain and Temple' Just like the name of this guesthouse, nestled in the embrace of the Yuquan Mountain Range, Adjacent to Yuquan Temple, the place exudes a strong sense of Zen. The relaxed vibe by the mountain and water brightens one's mood. I love the design here, a blend of the ancient and modern. Simple and serene, with bright and clean windows that make one feel clear-hearted. The room's facilities are comprehensive, giving a strong sense of belonging. It even includes a double breakfast. Waking up in the morning and leisurely finishing a meal is just too comfortable.
Yuquan Temple is located on the eastern foot of Yuquan Mountain, 12 kilometers southwest of Dangyang City, Yichang City, Hubei Province, with a central scenic area of 8.9 square kilometers. Legend has it that during the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the monk Pujing built a hermitage here. During the Later Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Xuan of Liang named Yuquan "Fuchuanshan Temple." It was renamed "Yuquan Temple" during the Sui Dynasty. The Mahavira Hall of Yuquan Temple is the largest ancient building in southern China. More than ten large iron artifacts from the Sui Dynasty are displayed in front of the hall; beside the hall is a stone-carved image of Guanyin, said to be the work of Wu Daozi, the Tang Dynasty painter. The existing Yuquan Iron Pagoda is of great value for the study of ancient Chinese metallurgy, metal corrosion prevention, architectural styles, structural mechanics, casting art, and Buddhist history. Yuquan Temple is one of the ancestral temples of the Tiantai School of Buddhism, and was once known as one of the "Four Wonders of the World" along with Guoqing Temple in Tiantai, Zhejiang; Lingyan Temple in Jinan, Shandong; and Qixia Temple in Nanjing, Jiangsu, and was hailed as one of the "Three Famous Mountains of Chu." In 1982, Yuquan Temple and the Iron Pagoda were listed as National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units. On the ridge of Qinglong Mountain, north of the three gates in front of Yuquan Temple, stands the Yuquan Iron Pagoda. Originally named the "Buddha's Tooth Relic Pagoda," it is commonly known as the "Lengjin Iron Pagoda" or "Thousand Buddha Pagoda." It was cast and built in 1061 (the sixth year of the Jiayou reign of the Northern Song Dynasty) to rebury the relics bestowed by Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. Modeled after a wooden pavilion, it is octagonal with thirteen levels, standing 16.945 meters tall and weighing 26,472 kilograms. The pagoda consists of four parts: the underground palace, the base, the body, and the spire. The underground palace is a hexagonal vertical shaft made of stone, with a white marble Sumeru pedestal inside. On the pedestal are three layers of stone boxes, which enshrine relics. The base and body of the pagoda are made of cast iron. The eight sides of the Sumeru pedestal are decorated with iron mountains, the sea, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, two dragons playing with a pearl, and pomegranate flower patterns. At each of the eight corners of the pedestal is a cast a majestic and powerful figure. The flat base of the pagoda body is decorated with a single-hook railing. Each part of the pagoda body has four doors, which are arranged in pairs and staggered in layers.
水漫三楼Each hall was basically built during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and later damaged to varying degrees and rebuilt or restored, so it has great historical value. The plaque "威震华夏" inside was handwritten by Emperor Tongzhi, and it is the treasure of the museum. It is an original piece of golden nanmu, which is not easy to find.
_U3***24I made a special trip to Yuquan Mountain Scenic Area to check in at the Yuquan Temple Iron Tower🗼, a national key cultural relic protection unit. It turned out that it was under repair, which was a pity. The iron tower was built in the sixth year of Jiayou (1061) in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has 13 octagonal floors. Pavilion style, cast in sections, nearly 18 meters high, tall and handsome, it is the tallest iron tower in China. The dougongs, flat seats, doors and windows of the pagoda are all imitation of wooden structures, and Buddhist figures or inscriptions are engraved on each side. The base of the tower is engraved with sea ripples, and the lines are smooth and rhythmic. At each corner of the Xumizuo are warriors in armored towers, who are strong and mighty.
游侠半仙Changbanpo is located in Dangyang City, Hubei Province. It is one of the famous ancient battlefields of the Three Kingdoms. It is the place where Zhao Zilong showed his power. The story of Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei fighting against Cao Cao took place here. In the tenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the "Changban Xiongfeng Monument" was erected here for people to pay tribute to. The stone monument was re-engraved in the Qing Dynasty, but it was taken away by the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War. The current Xiongfeng Monument was re-engraved in 1947.
游侠半仙A very good place, the food is very good, it is very convenient for our motorcycle friends, there is a large parking lot, and they can also wash our motorcycles by themselves. The boss is also a motorcycle enthusiast. I chatted with the boss in the evening, and the boss said that he wanted to build this place into a motorcycle reception station, so our motorcycle friends will be blessed. We plan to stay here when we come to Shennongjia for a motorcycle tour next year~
_We***53Well built. We all like it here. Good
陈忆玲Definitely worth a visit! Magnificent! The exhibition hall is designed in a dreamlike style, with 3D video displays that make you feel like you've traveled back in time! The park is nestled among lush greenery, and the environment is wonderful! It truly deserves its reputation as a southern chariot and horse formation site comparable to the Terracotta Army in Xi'an! Because it was the off-season, there were fewer people, and the experience was even better than at the Terracotta Army! A must-see for anyone who loves history and culture.
最佳福星This is a great place to escape the summer heat. At over 1,300 meters above sea level, the temperature at the foot of the mountain is 38 degrees Celsius, while atop it's only 30 degrees Celsius at noon and 20 degrees Celsius at night—very cool. The sun doesn't burn you, so wear sunscreen. If you drive to the north gate, parking is free. The scenic shuttle bus is very convenient and you can take it anywhere, stopping at your destination. Unlike some tourist attractions, where you have to transfer to an electric bus twice after taking the shuttle bus, this one goes all the way to the destination. The glass skywalk and the roller coaster are perfect for young children, but there's no package deal for the glass slide, so I didn't try it. Grass skiing is a downhill ride on a small slide, not on real grass. The deer in the deer park are also adorable, with free-range baby deer. The horseback riding at the stables was okay, and the horses were very docile. Food and drinks are a bit pricey, typical for tourist attractions. The Hawthorn Tree Love is just average; it's just a quick stop, so don't expect too much. This is primarily a summer getaway and a relaxing getaway.
我还是真的橘子I recently joined this wonderful Three Gorges one-day cruise tour in Yichang together with my friends. The whole tour cost only 250 yuan per person, and a nice lunch was included in the package, which is really good value.We sailed through the beautiful Xiling Gorge and got to see the world-famous Three Gorges Dam. The river and mountain views along the way were breathtaking. Our tour guide was very friendly and patient. The guide showed us all the sights and explained lots of useful information about the dam and the gorge. All of us were satisfied and enjoyed the trip a lot. The schedule was well planned, and the boat ride was comfortable. I highly recommend this cruise tour if you come to Yichang!
YARA JKI originally wanted to book a half-day afternoon tour, but since it's the off-season and there were no tour groups available, I opted for a direct bus. Surprisingly, there were only eight tourists on a comfortable and clean minibus, and they even had a tour guide! Thumbs up for Yichang's high-quality tourism service!
