Recently, the weather has mostly been clear, with temperatures between 10-25°C, perfect for a 2-day short trip to fully enjoy the outdoor scenes!​ 📌 Must-visit core: Three Gorges Eternal Love Scenic Area (1 full day)​ ✅ Super comfortable corridors on sunny days☀️: Autumn sunlight filters through the corridors, casting dappled shadows, while the autumn breeze carries the scent of pastries from the scenic area. When tired from walking, sit on a bench and watch nearby visitors play with paper folding — staff teach everyone to fold “boats” and “butterflies.” I tried folding a crooked “star” and even competed with strangers to see who could fold faster, laughter all around📜​ ✅ The classic “Three Gorges Eternal Love” still touches the heart🌟: The moment the lights dim, you’re immersed in the grandeur of Dayu controlling the floods, each scene bringing tears to your eyes😭. When the flood special effects hit, mist gently brushes your face, and excited children nearby whisper in awe. At the end, the audience applauds for a long time, and as people leave, you hear someone say, “Next time I’ll bring my family.”​ ✅ New experience with outdoor live shows🎭:​ Peach Garden Oath: Actors dressed in Three Kingdoms costumes perform the story and actively invite visitors to play Zhang Fei. A friend in our group was chosen, changed into ancient costume, stood beside “Liu Bei” and “Guan Yu,” and recited the oath “not seeking to be born in the same year, month, or day.” The surrounding visitors cheered nonstop, and photos shared online quickly got likes;​ Colorful Carnival: NPCs dressed in bright costumes lead the dance with lively rhythms. My friends and I joined in, swinging our arms and stepping to the beat, instantly wiping away the fatigue of sightseeing, filling the area with laughter;​ Western Region Princess: Watch an actor dressed in Western Region attire dance gracefully in the center of the stage. The elegant dance paired with distinctive music makes you feel like you’re in the Western Regions. Many visitors raised their phones to capture the beautiful moment.​ 📍 Off-the-beaten-path autumn scenery (1 day)​ Day 2: Three Gorges Bamboo Sea🎋: The bamboo sea is lush green in autumn. Walking along the bamboo forest paths, you can hear the rustling of bamboo leaves. Occasionally, you’ll encounter clear streams where you can even step in the shallow water to play. Have a simple meal in a bamboo pavilion at noon, then experience bamboo raft drifting in the afternoon. Paddle the bamboo raft to enjoy the scenery on both banks, with a gentle breeze brushing your face and the fresh scent of plants all around. Few people and beautiful views make it perfect for relaxation.​ Recently, Yichang has had mostly sunny days, making this 2-day itinerary easy and unhurried! The interactive outdoor scenes at the Three Gorges Eternal Love Scenic Area are fully engaging, and the corridors are very thoughtful. Remember to bring a light jacket for the temperature difference between morning and evening, wear comfortable sneakers for walking, and choose accommodation in the city center so you can take the bus directly to the scenic area.
