(Translated by Google) The location, room, food, and comfort were good, but the entertainment safety measures were not good. I almost flew out while playing the pirate ship. The seat belts were all loose! And I still sit in the middle! Fortunately, it wasn’t 360 degrees. My father held me and my brother down so that we didn’t fly out. My brother and sister were sitting in the back seat and were so scared that they almost flew away! ! We also meet the conditions and can play. Playing in amusement parks can scare people to death! ! Think twice about using entertainment facilities, especially pirate ships! Everything else is fine. Even though many years have passed, the shadow never goes away!

The Longji or Dragon’s Backbone rice terraces were built over 500 years ago during the Ming Dynasty. The terrace fields are found in Longsheng about a two hours drive from Guilin. From a distance, during the growing season, these winding terraces appear as if they were green woven cables laid out over the hillsides, starting at the riverbank and ending near the mountaintop. Visitors can meander through the paddies and villages, greeting and being greeted by horses, pigs, chickens and hard working locals.

One of the best experiences I've ever had. Breathe taking views unlike anything I've ever seen before. Was fun especially because me and the wife started hiking up the terraces with our friends from the Wada hostel, and then eventually hiked a different path. We later found out our friend Yen took a great photo of us from a higher elevation than us. Bring a map with you as its easy to get lost. And may have only locals high in the terrace villages to give you direction which usually don't speak good English. Lots of beautiful views to see. Also the rice they heat up in a bamboo stick was surprisingly very good. Highly recommend coming here if you stop by Guilin!!

The Chengyang Yongji Bridge, located approximately 18 kilometers north of Sanjiang, is a remarkable wooden bridge that dates back to 1912. It stands out among the over 100 wind-and-rain bridges in the area due to its grand size and intricate design. This picturesque black-and-white bridge spans about 78 meters and was constructed using cedar wood and stone over a period of twelve years during the early twentieth century.

(Translated by Google) Chengyang Bridge is the most famous of the many wind and rain bridges in the Zhuang area of Guangxi. The entire bridge does not require a single nail or rivet, but is made up of large and small strips of wood and hewn wood, connected by tenons. Today, Chengyang Bridge has become a national key cultural relic protection unit.
Tourists can only watch and take photos from a distance, and then take the bridge next to it to enter the village. There are a bunch of vendors selling souvenirs on the wall, which is very lively!
However, most of the village areas have no shelter. It is recommended to go there in summer and bring a parasol and hat to avoid sunburn!

Chairman Mao was giving birth at this small villages in Shaoshan farmer family. This residence where he lived for 17 years with his siblings and parents . The old residence show case of his childhood and the farming works. He loves to study instead of doing the farm work as one of the eldest son, he has high expectation from his dad to inherit the family business. Great to visit if you happen to be here to see his childhood residence ! This is just another 10 mins walk from the bronze statue. You may expect to have Long queue into visiting if his house and you also need to keep your camera and big carrier in the locker!

Guan Yu was careless and lost Jingzhou...
As a result, Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms had a tragic journey of no return...!
The historical ancient city and the Old City River are still there, making people nostalgic for the stories of ancient history. Now it has become "the charming ancient Jingzhou and the pilgrimage site of Guan Gong"...
It is a national tourist area (spot) with AAAA level...
In addition, Binyang Tower was built in the Ming Dynasty, rebuilt in the 11th year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1861), and later destroyed. It is now a 1986 study by the National Cultural Relics Protection Department🧐Ming Dynasty style reconstruction...
Taking a boat trip on the river to see Jingzhou, the splendor and beauty are unparalleled, but to feel everything that happened in that era, one wrong decision will lead to a total failure and regret! Therefore, the lessons of history tell us that we must not take any decision 🙅 lightly🤔...
Guests can come here if you have the opportunity🈶️opportunity🤔 to reminisce about the past and the present...

The Jingzhou Museum is a remarkable historical museum situated in South China, which showcases relics dating back over 5000 years. It boasts of free entry and features a splendid garden for visitors to stroll through. Despite the advantage of free admission, local visitors may cause some noise within the premises. This museum is dedicated to displaying artifacts and objects that preserve the rich cultural heritage of State Chu, an ancient kingdom that existed for 800 years.
Very interesting museum worth spending a couple of hours. Best if you read a little about it before visiting or if you hire a professional guide as the English explanation boards are limited.

(Translated by Google) Every time you go to a place, you must go to a local museum to learn about history, geography and culture. Although the Yichang Museum is not big, the cultural relics and planning inside are still good and worth a visit.
I was surprised that the materials from the Republic of China period were so well preserved and displayed and organized in such an orderly manner. Seeing the statue of the Founding Father reminds me of the photos and scenes from childhood to the Grand Commandery.
There is a brief introduction on the wall next to the on-site antiquities. Compared with many museums, this is a museum with relatively complete information display and thoughtfully conveying the significance of the cultural relics.
The overall feeling is pretty good, the environment is clean and tidy, there are not many people, there are clean restrooms, there are volunteers patrolling the museum, and it is free to visit. It is recommended that friends who visit Yichang take a look at the Yichang Museum. Local people will also take their children to learn about their own culture and history. It is a cultural city.

This is the largest Power Plant in the world with an installed capacity of 22,500 MW. There are 32 number of 700 MW turbines. The Dam is constructed across Yangtze River and the total relocation was around 20 million. Everything about this power plant is enormous. This is a modern wonder of mankind. The water capacity and everything about this power plant is so huge. This has been rejected by many construction companies considering the impact it creates. But at last China could do it on their own. The ship transferring canal too is one of the man made wonders.

Impressive to see the world's largest dam. In my view there's no need to buy any of the short ship tours nearby. The entrance fee will shuttle you by bus from viewpoint to viewpoint. When I visited it was winter, so the smog/fog mix certainly obstructed the view. Nevertheless the project is very impressive and the viewpoints well-chosen and decorated.

This hydropower dam in the mainstem of the Yangtze river is a disaster for people and wildlife. It is altering the flow and the hydro morphology of the river, hence creating problems with water availability downstream. It has the potential to decrease the fish stock and creating environmental and water quality problems and the extinction of fish species and river dolphins.
Herman Wanningen — Google review
This dam was the only reason I came to Yichang, and I must say it was worth the trip. Despite the controversy surrounding its construction, the structure is doubtlessly a feat of engineering brilliance. There are almost no Western tourists visiting the dam, so if you decide to go here you'll most certainly be the first among your friends.

Its planning layout and architectural techniques are unique. , which played a connecting role in the Ming Dynasty imperial mausoleum rules and regulations. In particular, the mausoleum structure of "one mausoleum and two tombs" is unique among the imperial mausoleums of the past dynasties. [2-3]
In 1988, the Mingming Mausoleum was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council.

(Translated by Google) Gulongzhong is located among the mountains about 13 kilometers west of Xiangyang City. This is where Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion for ten years before leaving the mountains, and it is also where Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times. Stepping into Longzhong, the first thing that catches your eye is the large stone archway built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. On one side of the archway is engraved a famous line from Du Fu's "The Prime Minister of Shu": Three visits frequently make plans for the world, and two dynasties open up the hearts of veterans. On the back are engraved the five characters "Three Generations Next". In memory of Zhuge Liang, he was praised by later generations as the most outstanding figure after Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. In the scenic area, there are also "Ten Scenic Spots in Longzhong" built by later generations because of their admiration for Zhuge Liang. If you go to Gurungzhong, it is recommended to watch "Thatched Cottage Theater". This is the first live-action drama performed in the form of thatched cottage in China, including three scenes including "Longzhong Duo", "The Song of the Ugly Wife" and "Red Cliff Ode".

古隆中位于襄阳市往西约13公里的群山之中,这里是诸葛亮出山前隐居十年之地,也是刘备三顾茅庐的地方。踏入隆中,首先映入眼帘的是清朝光绪年间建造的大石牌坊,牌坊一面刻着杜甫《蜀相》中的名句:三顾频繁天下计,两朝开济老臣心。背面则刻着“三代下一人”五个大字。纪念诸葛亮被后人誉为夏、商、周以后第一人杰。景区内更有后人因仰慕诸葛亮先后建造的“隆中十景”。如果你去古隆中,推荐观看《草庐剧场》,这是国内首部以草庐形态演出的实景话剧,包括《隆中对》、《丑妻吟》、《赤壁赋》等三个场景。

There are performances in front of Sangu Hall in the scenic area. In addition, Wuhou Temple, Thatched Cottage, Stone Archway, Tuck Tuck Pavilion and other places are must-visit places.

Huashan is one of the Five Great Mountains of China, beyond beautiful, the sharp outlines of the terrain, the white stone of the mountain and the mist surrounding it all, reminds one of classical Chinese paintings. You can understand why this landscape inspired stories of legendary martial arts masters. Highly recommended, and a must see if you are in Xi'an.
In saying that, be warned that it was a 4 hour trek to get from base to the North peak with one break and a few quick rest stops. The path started with paved gradual inclines and as you approach the top it became damp, the steps became steeper and narrower. Some steps were so steep, the only way to climb up is to use a chain bolted into the rocks as a handrail. I would say the trek is considered difficult for the average person, increase your fitness levels before visiting if you're planning to climb up, otherwise take the cable car! Wear reliable shoes and bring lots of water and some food as well. It's also worthwhile to note that Huashan is not free from the infamous crowds of China. We decided to take the cable car back down which required about a 2 hour wait.

Located in ShanXi Province, about 120 kms from XiAn City, Mount Hua is one of the Great Five Mountains of China, chosen by their geographic locations to represent 5 Elements, 5 Cosmic Deites, and 5 Cardinal Directions ( East, South, West, North, Plus Center). As Imperial Pilgrimage sites throughout Chinese History, these five Mountains are very popular tourist attractions. Representing West, Metal and White Deity, Mount Hua has the highest mountain peak among them all , characterized by its steep Cliffs and rugged mountain slopes. If you love Mountain adventures and sceneries, China should be on your priority list indeed. It is recommended that you should try your best to avoid Public Holidays in order to avoid crowds ---- Which is a tip applied to all tourist attractions in China. Two photos from my visiting.

Great mountain bike but the lines are long. We arrived at the ticket station for the West cable car at 11am and it took 3 hours before we stepped into the gondola. Likewise it was 90 minutes from time we arrived at the top of the West car until we stepped into the gondola. The top of the mountain is all up and down so you need to be fit. We spent 4 hours on the top.

great place to hike, be with nature, shout, take pictures, etc. a lot of walking . make sure to wear comfortable shoes with a good traction. some areas are slippery. also plenty of uphills hence train your heart before this journey. this is not recommended for those with disabilities (unfit, no endurance, weak leg muscles -will easily tire). they can use the cable car and walk for a few meters but not travel from south to north then east. not recommended if not ready. bring water. or buy water on the mountains. cloud covered mountains is not unusual. may find trails very heavily trafficked/busy with oceans of tourists. must be in your bucket list if you love mountains, good hike, and beautiful sceneries.

Really beautiful place that's definitely worth trek up! Most fitness levels are able to do this, as the trails are mostly paved stairs and we saw a couple of people actually wearing sundresses and heels going up and down. Make sure to really be aware of your surroundings, as there's not very good crowd control, especially at more popular scenic spots. So sometimes there's quite a lot of pushing and only a central chain rope to hold onto for stability. While we were here, the line for the plank walk was roughly a 2-3 hours wait, so be prepared to wait on average for that amount when coming here. They also have some food stalls along the top, so if you're not bringing lunch, you can stop here for noodles!
Note: Visited prior to COVID, so things may be different.

It is quite a trek to get to the top of the mountain. There are lots of stairs and a gondola ride plus some driving, but once you are up there it has amazing views if you are lucky to have a clear day. I really enjoyed the visit. You can spend a good few hours here just don't forget that the gondolas stop at a certain time. It is known for having the world's most dangerous hike, but we just walked around and did not do the hike, which was just fine. It is best to be in good condition while visiting because there is some high stairs and plenty of walking.

Simply a must visit destination if you are a fan of martial arts novelist Jin Yong. Even if you are not, what this mountain offers will not disappoint.
Ascending it on foot is reserved for the adventurous and super fit for it is a long long hike up the thousands of steps, zigzagging as it makes its way up (see photo).
Ascending it in a gondola / cable car is recommended. The ride doesn’t last long, around 10 minutes, but the view you get is nothing but spectacular.
Once you arrive at the cable car station at the bottom of Huashan, the vertigo already begins to hit you. With the grand scale of the mountain as the backdrop, what you see when you raise your head are many tiny, super tiny, gondolas suspended in mid air. You wonder immediately how they are hung. The answer is that the cables holding the gondolas are just too thin and far to be discerned. (see photo). If you are faint-hearted, this one glance may send shivers down your spine. You may even ask yourself the question: ‘Do I really want to take this ride?’
Once you reach the top, there are 5 peaks to visit. 100% of visitors, like me, wouldn’t miss the North Peak as it has the best vantage point to look at why Huashan is so famous. Most visitors will also hike up to the Middle Peak which offers a reverse view of the North Peak. If you have time, and the energy, you may continue to the West and East Peaks. From my observation, it is mostly the young and adventurous who circumnavigate all the peaks of Huashan.

The hike up is not for the faint of heart. If you are faint of heart, be sure to get the optional life insurance at the start of the hike.
The most amazing thing about this hike is not the views, or the journey itself, it's that there are little convenience stores sprinkled along the entire way, and tons of locals who act like this hike is no small feat.
Bring comfy shoes, and be prepared to have your breath taken away.

Well worth a visit if you’re in Xian. To get to the gondola you need to take a bus within the site, followed by about 10 minutes of steps up the mountain before reaching the gondola station. There are walks once you reach the top so allow sometimes to enjoy the view from different peak.
Hooi Yee Ng — Google review
We bought our ticket from the tourist center and entered the bus to the west gate. Those who want to trek the mountain can start their trekking from the pathway starting near the tourist center which takes around 8-10 hours
It took us 40 mins to reach the west gate entrance and we walked around 500 m to reach the cable car station.
There are totally 5 peaks in Hua Shan namely East, West, South, North and middle. The plank walk is in the south peak and the chess pavilion is in the west peak, which are the major two attractions of this place.
Irrespective of these dangerous trekking pathways you can still find people of all ages climbing these paths enthusiastically. Near the south peak summit behind the rest house you can find the entrance to the plank walk. When you walk along the narrow pathway made from cutting down the mountain stones you reach the point where you must wear the safety harness to proceed further as it’s the only thing that’s holding your life from ending. The rent cost of the harness is RMB 30/-, and you can keep your belongings on the opening in the side which is not so safe but there are no other options. It is preferred not to bring too expensive things in your shoulder or hand bag if you plan to do the plank walk.
The pathway ends in a small cliff with a small temple carved out in the mountain which is not of much importance as this trekking has become like an adventure sport and people rarely care about the temple. Such kinds of trekking are very rare in the world for common people and such rush of blood can only be experienced here.
The return journey is through the same way we came and the whole journey in and out of the plank walk on a day when there are fewer tourists can be completed in 1 hour. What we experienced can be written in words but the feeling we got cannot. It’s a must do before you die adventure and can be written in your bucket list, as for us we have already scratched that from our list.
Using the cable car to go to this mountain was one of the scariest moments of my life.
