Things to do in Yicheng

5/5 An absolute adrenaline rush — the glass bridge is every bit as thrilling as it looks! Booking through Trip.com was smooth and reliable, and the Line B combo ticket (178 yuan) is the one to get — it covers the glass bridge, the canyon, and the boat ride in one seamless package. The 430-meter bridge hangs 300 meters above the valley floor, and walking across it is surreal — the glass is crystal clear, and you can see straight down to the waterfalls and greenery below. Pro tip: don't stop for photos at the entrance — everyone crowds there. Walk further onto the bridge for the killer shots with fewer people and insane views beneath your feet. Another must: don't just turn back after the bridge. Take the zipline down (included in the combo) — a 50-second flight over the canyon that's genuinely unforgettable. Then hike the 3-kilometer river trail through emerald water and towering cliffs — it's quiet, shaded, and easily the most underrated part of the whole experience.

This time, I took my parents, both in their eighties, on a trip and chose the Yichang Jiaoyun Group package. Thankfully, it was a premium itinerary; the tour guide contacted us the day before departure to make the arrangements. Our guide, Mr. Wu, was patient and attentive, providing a car pick-up, a private entrance to our VIP seats on the fourth floor, and even fruit and snacks. He explained each attraction and helped us take photos at the most beautiful spots, making us feel very safe and secure. At the Three Gorges Dam Museum, our guide, Ms. Ziyi, was incredibly professional, answering all our questions fluently and giving us a deeper understanding of the engineering and management. A salute to everyone who has contributed to the Three Gorges Dam! Yichang is wonderful; we'll definitely come back! 💕

The only real historical relic in the Prince Xiang's Mansion is the Nine-Dragon Stone Screen Wall; the rest are replicas of ancient architecture. Since many key figures from both official and unofficial histories overlap here, offering a glimpse into the past, it feels like a parallel universe—quite interesting!

Shennongjia, located in Hubei Province, is known as the "Roof of Central China" and a World Natural Heritage site. Its dense primeval forests are home to golden monkeys, boasting an exceptional ecosystem and earning it the title of a "green miracle." The scenery is picturesque and breathtaking, with stunning views at every turn.

Compared to Enshi Grand Canyon, I highly recommend Pingshan Canyon. Don't choose the so-called "lazy person's route" with boats in and out; you still walk quite a bit, and you repeat the same route both ways, going up and down a long stretch of steps inside the cave and missing a lot of scenery! Just take the regular route; even as a lazy person, I thought it was fine. The cliffside views are absolutely stunning!

Nice park. Opposite is the shopping mall on the main road. You can come and have a look when you have nothing to do.

The Three Gorges Family Scenic Area is beautiful, and the folk song performance at Bawangzhai was wonderful—very authentic. The wedding performance at Longjinxi was also beautiful; the performers were all gorgeous! The children had a lot of fun playing in the water at Longjinxi; the stream was so green and beautiful.

The scenery was beautiful, especially after the rain, like walking through a painting; the tour guide at the Three Gorges Dam was beautiful, had a lovely voice, and provided thorough explanations; the young man who accompanied us was professional, dedicated, and provided detailed explanations and made excellent arrangements! Highly recommended!

Compared to the crowds at Tingtao Pear Garden during holidays, Luoyan Scenic Area is much quieter. There are no tour groups bringing people here, so it's a good place to stroll around East Lake and enjoy the scenery.

The south entrance of Hankou River Beach is very close to Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street. It's a free attraction with excellent greenery, walkways, plenty of benches and trees, and a pleasant environment. You can see ships coming and going on the Yangtze River, and across the river, the skyscrapers of Wuchang stand tall. You can also see the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the Second Yangtze River Bridge, which integrate urban living, green spaces, and exercise facilities. Enjoying the river breeze is very pleasant.
