The most beautiful spot of East Lake in Wuhan is still the Tingtao Scenic Area
Tingtao Scenic Area is one of the six major areas of the East Lake Ecological Tourism Scenic Area, and it is the earliest established and opened scenic spot in the East Lake Scenic Area. Its predecessor was the private garden of the national capitalist Mr. Zhou Cangbai - "Haiguang Farm".
In 1930, Mr. Zhou Cangbai built the "Haiguang Farm" by East Lake, forming the embryonic form of a city park, which was later renamed "East Lake Park". On December 2, 1950, East Lake Park was renamed "East Lake Scenic Area".
The Tingtao Scenic Area was the earliest to be established and opened. In the 1970s and 1980s, the hottest spot in Wuhan was "Tingtao". Here, the lake shore is winding, the harbors are crisscrossed, the blue waves are vast, the green mountains surround, the islands are scattered like stars, but it is also rich in Chu culture and exquisitely Chu in charm.
The historical and cultural significance of the Tingtao Scenic Area is centered around Qu Yuan, with major attractions including the Xingyin Pavilion, Changtian Tower, Jiunv Dun Monument, Huguang Pavilion, Fable Sculpture Garden, and Bitang Viewing Fish.

Wuhan | There's a Miyazaki summer by the East Lake too!
||Today is another fine day, and I took a stroll to the Tingtao scenic area during lunch break.
🚗You can navigate to the 'Lakeside Guest House Parking Lot' by car (see the last picture).
🏞️I looked up by chance, and it seemed like a painting before my eyes, I couldn't help but take a photo. The sky was a brilliant blue, and the sunlight was clear. Under the dense shade of the big trees, mottled light and shadow were scattered on the stone path, small flowers bloomed in the grass, and the green branches and leaves swayed gently in the wind, with only the sound of birdsong and the rustling of leaves around.
I'm in love with this tranquility. In a daze, it felt like I had stepped into an anime world, it was clearly a spring afternoon, yet there was an illusion of the chirping of cicadas in summer, as if just over this step, there would be a flowing stream ahead.
🐈I encountered a little orange cat, and in the blink of an eye, I couldn't catch up with it.
☕️I passed by the very popular FLatmos coffee shop, which must be the place with the highest foot traffic around here.
🌸Then there was a field of blooming internet-famous hydrangeas, with many young ladies taking photos with their photographers, just navigate to 'The Archer and the Oil Seller' to get there.
I wandered towards the direction of Xianyue Pavilion, the willow trees all took the shape of the wind.
🍃Walking and enjoying the breeze is the freedom I want.

Wuhan, you are confused!! Why don't you promote this beautiful autumn-viewing park
The metasequoia has turned red, like walking into the world of oil painting in Wuhan's winter citywalk! East Lake is really beautiful this season. Before the temperature dropped and it rained, I went to East Lake for a walk. Most of the cedar forest has turned red, as if entering a fairy tale world.
I recommend the East Lake cedar viewing route to everyone, starting in detail from the Tingtao Gate, passing by the Xingyin Pavilion, Luoyu Bridge, Bitan Fish Watching, Luoxia Waterside Pavilion and other attractions along the way, all of which are cedar trees, both water cedar and pond cedar. If you think the route is a bit long, you can choose to walk only half, or choose one of the two routes "Tingtao Gate➠Li Garden Gate" and "Chufeng Garden➠Return the same way".
It is recommended to choose a sunny day to take pictures of the cedar trees, and the colors will be redder with the sun.
Regarding transportation, there are two choices: subway and self-driving. The subway line 8 can reach Tingtao Gate and Liyuan Gate; if you drive by yourself, there are parking lots in Tingtao Scenic Area and Chufeng Garden.
Especially recommended is the section along the lake from Luoyu Bridge to Luoxia Waterside Pavilion in Tingtao Scenic Area. The cedar trees here have turned red, which is particularly beautiful. Xingyin Pavilion can overlook the distance, Bitan Fish Watching has many carp, and the buildings here are very suitable for taking portraits.
East Lake Greenway is also a very good choice. The road in the lake is all cedar and plane trees, and the red and green are also very beautiful. Remember to return the same way in real time! The 🌈Rainbow Bridge in the Overseas Chinese Town Ecological Wetland Park is a place not to be missed. The red metasequoia reflects in the lake like an oil painting, and there is a Little Prince sculpture waiting for you to discover.
East Lake in this season is really beautiful! Come and walk into the world of oil paintings together!
