    After reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," take a trip to the historical sites of the Three Kingdoms... Red Cliff is a must-see. Standing by the river, looking up at the Red Cliff inscriptions, one can only sigh: "The mighty Yangtze River flows eastward, its waves washing away the heroes of the past..."

    The scenic area is beautiful, with towering mountains, abundant trees, and incredibly fresh air! It's one of China's four major summer resorts, and the villa complex on Jigong Mountain, featuring international architecture, is known as a collection of world-class architecture and a museum of global styles. There are also some historical artifacts to see and learn about. On a clear day, you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset views. Overall, it's a well-deserved 5A-level scenic area!

    The scenic area is relatively pristine. The cable car's middle station leads directly to the waterfall group, and the downhill road is well-maintained; it's about a half-hour walk to the scenic area's bus stop. You can take the scenic area bus to Baima Grand Canyon and then walk downhill for about 1.5 hours, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. The ticket allows for two entries; those with good stamina can enter the park a second day to climb the main peak.

    Climbing Yueyang Tower, one truly understands that the phrase "embracing distant mountains and swallowing the Yangtze River" is no exaggeration. The ancient tower, with its intricate mortise and tenon joints and flying eaves, reflects the misty waves of Dongting Lake through its red walls, creating a picturesque scene of "shimmering light and leaping gold." The couplets along the corridors encapsulate a thousand years of cultural heritage, and the spirit of "worrying about joys and sorrows" echoes with the sound of the waves. At night, the tower is ablaze with lights, and the integration of culture and tourism gives this thousand-year-old landmark a new lease on life—a cultural feast where both scenery and spirit are unparalleled. The weather was great, perfect for taking photos.

    The China Giant Panda Garden is quite far from the city center; a taxi ride from Yueyang Tower takes 30-40 minutes. Choose the Giant Panda Garden Visitor Center as your destination; the fare should be around 40 yuan. After getting off the taxi, walk towards the shuttle bus stop. The driver will tell you where the return shuttle bus stop is. The park is large; you can easily walk around in about three hours, including watching the pandas eat and sleep. When I went today, it happened to be lunchtime for the panda cubs, so I was able to film many of them eating. After watching the pandas, it's a long walk to catch the shuttle bus. The panda garden is also some distance from bus stops, so it's best to take a taxi or drive yourself.

    Just in time for the 3rd World Dongting International Reed Art Festival 2025, a cultural tourism event, the festival will showcase the grandeur of Dongting Lake and the elegance of reeds, with "symbiotic life" as its core and natural ecology as its foundation, creating a magnificent winter cultural tourism scene in Yueyang and adding color to the otherwise unremarkable Junshan Island.

    The exact date of Xunyang Tower's initial construction is unknown; the current building was rebuilt in 1987 and imitates the Song Dynasty architectural style. The name Xunyang Tower first appeared in a poem by Wei Yingwu, the Tang Dynasty governor of Jiangzhou. Stories such as Song Jiang's anti-government poem and Li Kui's execution in the novel "Water Margin" brought Xunyang Tower widespread fame. The design of Xunyang Tower was inspired by illustrations of Xunyang Tower in the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and the engraved edition of "Water Margin." Xunyang Tower is a scenic spot that combines a famous building, a famous novel, and a famous wine. Visitors can enjoy wine and tea at Xunyang Tower and climb up to the top to take in the panoramic views of the ancient city along the river.

    Xunyang River Scenic Area, located in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, is a scenic spot where history and nature blend seamlessly. Upon entering the scenic area, the first thing that catches the eye is the Pipa Pavilion, famous for Bai Juyi's poem "The Song of the Pipa," as if one can hear the pipa's sound echoing through time. Strolling along the riverbank, the majestic Suojiang Tower and Suojiang Pagoda stand tall in the distance, having withstood centuries of wind and rain. Xunyang Tower, with its simple yet elegant architectural style, particularly captivated me. Climbing the tower, I gazed upon the shimmering Yangtze River, where water and sky merged seamlessly. I also took a cruise on the Xunyang River, gliding across the water and experiencing the idyllic feeling of "a boat sailing on emerald waves, a person traveling in a painting." This trip to Xunyang River Scenic Area left me captivated by its profound cultural heritage and beautiful natural scenery, making me reluctant to leave.

    #Visit Lushan West Sea, receive West Sea tangerines# Lushan West Sea is truly worth a visit! It's a gem bestowed by nature. Upon entering Lushan West Sea, the first thing that catches the eye is its vast 308 square kilometers of water. The lake water is crystal clear, with a visibility of up to 11 meters, and its Class I national water quality makes you want to get closer. More than 8,000 islands are scattered across the lake like emeralds on a jade plate. A boat trip, weaving between the islands, allows you to appreciate the solitary grandeur of "A Tree Across the Sea" and experience the romantic atmosphere on Heart Island. Climbing the 99-meter-high West Sea Star offers a panoramic view of the picturesque lake and mountain scenery.

    Mount Lushan is truly a place worth visiting, with its breathtaking sea of ​​clouds and breathtaking scenery. My mom wanted to go this time, so I decided to accompany her. We went in mid-to-late September, off-peak, so there were very few tourists. My mom had a blast and took tons of beautiful photos. Mount Lushan is also very senior-friendly, with free admission for those over 65. Tickets for the cable car are available separately.
