Things to do in Ezhou

Su Dongpo, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, pioneered the bold and unrestrained style of ci poetry. His poems "Nian Nu Jiao: Reminiscences of Chibi" and the two "Odes to the Red Cliff," written in Huangzhou, transformed personal sorrow into a sense of cosmic vastness, achieving a pinnacle in the history of Chinese literature. He proved with his life that adversity not only tempers character but also gives birth to the greatest art. The Red Cliff of Su Dongpo in Huangzhou is worth visiting.

Xishan Mountain in Ezhou was called Fanshan Mountain in ancient times. It was named Xishan Mountain because it is located to the west of the ancient capital of Wu Wang, the current urban area of ​​Ezhou City in Hubei Province. Xishan Mountain is located on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, 68 kilometers away from Wuhan, a metropolis in central China. It faces the Red Cliff of Huangzhou in the north, and is adjacent to Yanglan Lake in the south, connected to the vast expanse of blue water. It is connected to the prosperous downtown in the east, and is supported by the 100-mile Fanchuan River in the west, with the river and the lake, rising from the ground. Xishan Mountain has nine bends, nine peaks and six valleys, and mountains and pine and cypress trees cover the sky. There are green gullies and red cliffs, and waterfalls. The whole mountain is about 1.6 kilometers long from east to west and about 1.2 kilometers wide from north to south. The main peak is 170 meters high, and the total area is more than 4,000 acres.

The Yiai Lake Scenic Area is very large, and the Yiai Qing Scenic Area is only a part of it. At the north end of the Yiai Lake, you can climb up to the Liuguang Pavilion to overlook the Yiai Lake, or walk across the unique Xugong Bridge to see the shore scenery in the lake. The Yiai Lake North parking lot is free and is located in the Yiai Qing Scenic Area, but parking spaces are tight on holidays.

You can buy and use it at any time, which is very convenient. Buying adult tickets is a little cheaper than buying them on the spot. I was very lucky this time. I got on the boat directly after buying them. There were two tumbler ladies performing at the place where I landed. Fish head tofu soup and Liangzi Lake hairy crabs are must-eats on the island.

The environment is good with mountains and water, so I'll continue to go there later hahahahahaha

Yellow Crane Tower, a famous scenic spot in Wuhan, is a must-see. It's not just a tower, but a large park; the gardens are surprisingly beautiful, and you could easily spend a whole day exploring it. There are also performances, dance shows, and recitations of Li Bai's poems. You can also take an elevator up the tower for only 10 yuan; seniors get it for free.

The exhibited artifacts were quite good; I've also been to joint exhibitions organized by museums like the Hunan Provincial Museum. The Kremlin artifacts here are well-prepared and thoughtfully designed. However, the souvenir and merchandise section was rather boring. I was thinking of buying a pendant or something, but that saved me some money.

It is a mountain that is recommended to climb in the eastern Hubei region. It is free to enter the scenic area. If you are physically fit, the scenery along the way is worth climbing. If you are with children, you can take the scenic area tour bus or watch the immersive experience performance, which requires additional tickets.

A few years later, there have been great changes. The park is well greened and the lake is well managed. The temple is under construction and the main hall has been renovated. The overall look is solemn and dignified. The tower is still the same as before.
