Yichang 2-Day Nature Escape | Last-Minute Getaway from Wuhan

#discoverchina Caught a spontaneous travel bug in Wuhan? Here’s how I made the most of two stunning days in Yichang — nature, waterfalls, and fairyland vibes included! Day 1: Three Gorges Waterfall Arrival 11:45 — Arrived in Yichang 13:30 — Met at Yichang East Station, boarded a shuttle to the waterfall 15:00 — Reached the Three Gorges Waterfall (RMB 170 for 2 people, round-trip shuttle + ticket; excludes electric cart inside the scenic area) Experience The environment was quite nice, but a strange odor lingered (possibly due to ongoing renovations) The waterfall? Absolutely majestic Best moment: standing behind the waterfall, facing the sun — I saw a double rainbow Though the waterfall didn’t seem that big from the front, walking behind it gave me that wow moment — it looked massive and magical from there! Tip: Bring or buy a raincoat — you’ll get soaked in the best way! Day 2: Qingjiang Gallery Scenic Area Tickets Shuttle: RMB 150 Entrance: RMB 230 Journey 09:00 — Took a small 9-seater shuttle (only 3 of us on board, super chill!) 10:00 — Arrived at the scenic area Chose the "shadow painting" style tour route Highlights The scenery was surreal — the water was as green and clear as jade Many spots are inaccessible by boat, so we hiked to a final dock for a short cruise on the river Skipped some peaks (like Immortal Village) because we were too tired — but still, worth every step! Return 15:30 — Headed back after a magical day surrounded by pure, fresh air and fairytale landscapes #thingstodo #travel
