Ancient Longzhong

Ancient Longzhong is located among the mountains west of Xiangyang city, where Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion during his youth. Legend has it that this place is surrounded by mountains, with only one peak "rising abruptly in the center," standing prominently among the ridges, hence the name "Longzhong." At the age of seventeen, Zhuge Liang came here with his uncle, farming and studying diligently for nearly a decade, earning the nickname "Crouching dragon." Later, Liu Bei visited his thatched cottage three times, and Zhuge Liang proposed the "Longzhong Plan" outlining the tripartite division of the world. Ancient Longzhong thus became known as the "cradle of wisdom" and the "birthplace of the tripartite division strategy." Today, the attraction still preserves traces of this history: the Wuhou Temple, originally built during the Jin dynasty, rises in tiers along the mountain slope as a site for commemorating Zhuge Liang; the Three visits hall was constructed to honor Liu Bei's three visits, with ancient cypresses in front said to be the very trees where Liu, Guan, and Zhang tied their horses; thatched cottage pavilion, farming fields, small rainbow bridge, hexagonal well, old dragon cave, and knee-embracing rock collectively form the "Ten scenes of Longzhong" passed down since the Ming dynasty—the knee-embracing rock is believed to be where Zhuge sat chanting "Liangfu yin." At the entrance stands a Qing-dynasty bluestone archway inscribed with "Ancient Longzhong," flanked by phrases from "Admonitions to my son"—"Indifference to fame reveals one's ambition" and "Tranquility leads to far-reaching vision"—with Du Fu's famous couplet "Three visits exhausted the world's schemes, two reigns revealed the veteran's heart" carved on pillars, serving as the attraction's iconic photo spot. Hiking up to Tenglong Pavilion atop the mountain offers panoramic views of Longzhong's forests and fields; nestled in the valley lies a thatched-roof theater once staging the large-scale outdoor drama "Thatched cottage: Zhuge Liang," chronicling his life. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes this place as having "hills not lofty but elegant, waters not deep but clear." The leisurely pace of the visit allows you to share the story of the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage with your children as you stroll. If you're interested in Zhuge Liang's life, we recommend setting aside half a day to explore the inscriptions and exhibits in detail, which is more rewarding than a hurried visit.Xiangyang · 12.3 km from downtown

The ancient city is vast and full of historical atmosphere. It's a pity I didn't go at night and missed the night view. The East Market and West Market were very interesting, with various performances!

A fantastic scenic spot, combining culture and beautiful scenery. It recreates various historical events. Tenglong Pavilion is beautiful, but climbing up the mountain is a bit tiring. We watched a dramatic performance depicting the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage, which was very interesting!

The Xiangyang Ancient City Wall is located in Xiangcheng District, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province. Originally built during the Han Dynasty, it underwent several renovations from the Tang to the Qing Dynasties. The wall was initially roughly square, with a perimeter of 7331 meters, a maximum height of 10.84 meters, and a thickness of 11-14 meters. The overall structure includes trapezoidal cross-section walls and arched gates. The city wall has six gates on its four sides, each with a barbican or inner city, and corner towers at the four corners. Along the wall are watchtowers and beacon towers, and over 4000 crenellations are built. A moat surrounds the city, reaching a maximum width of 250 meters and an average width of 180 meters. On June 25, 2001, the Xiangyang Ancient City Wall was designated as a fifth batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units by the State Council of the People's Republic of China. Speaking of the ancient city of Xiangyang, it inevitably evokes memories of Jin Yong's martial arts novels for a generation. The legendary stories of the heroes Guo Jing and Huang Rong defending the city and Yang Guo losing his arm all took place here. It was also a place where Yue Fei's army once fought.

The location is easily accessible by car or public transport. There are also various food stalls nearby, so if it's not too crowded, you can eat your fill before heading back to explore. You can easily spend a whole day there. When you're tired, you can take some photos. Overall, I would recommend it.

Calligraphy enthusiasts should definitely check this out; the environment is tranquil and cool. I brought some bread to feed the fish, and many koi swarmed around, which was quite interesting, and the kids really enjoyed it.

Overall, the scenic area is rich in content, with good cultural and natural landscapes. You can see the thousand-year-old mountain village and the mountain village museum, take the cableway, slide and cruise, ride horses, pick fruits, drink tea, and walk via ferrata. The mountain is not very high, so it is not tiring to climb. There are also special performances and robot interactions during the festival, and parking is free.

Family, does anyone know anything about this?! The Xiangyang Museum truly amazed me! I initially thought this kind of niche museum would be ordinary, but I was blown away the moment I stepped inside! The general history exhibition here is incredibly comprehensive, covering everything from ancient times to modern times with a crystal-clear historical timeline. The exhibition layout is also incredibly thoughtful; the lighting is just right—not too bright, not too dim. Many artifacts of similar categories are neatly arranged in display cases, making it look incredibly organized and a very comfortable place to browse! I especially love this way of categorizing and displaying artifacts. You can immediately tell the age and type of an artifact, which is so helpful for a history novice like me! And there weren't many people, so I could take my time looking at everything without worrying about being crowded. Overall, it was a fantastic experience! If you also enjoy history and culture, and appreciate in-depth travel and cultural experiences, then the Xiangyang Museum is definitely worth a visit! Trust me, you will be amazed by the artifacts and displays!
