I personally think this is one of the places in Jingzhou that should not be missed! During my trip to Jingzhou, Hubei, I stayed at the Shiyehuayuan Hotel in the Yangmatou Cultural Park in Shashi for two nights. The hotel is within walking distance to the Dasaixiang Food Street. I really like the style of this hotel, simple in black and white, with a large public space, good quality room details, and a super large bathroom. The side facing the Yangtze River are all river view rooms, the price is not expensive, a river view double room is only about 300 per night, good value for money. The Yangmatou Cultural Park in Shashi is located by the Yangtze River, where the old and the modern are integrated. There are many old buildings with red brick western-style houses, along the Yangtze River there are some restaurants and stylish small shops, retro and artistic. I like to take a walk along the river in the evening, feeling the slow life of this city with the wind blowing from the river surface and watching the ferries come and go. During my four-day and three-night trip in Jingzhou, I stayed in Jingzhou city for two nights. For the sake of Wenshui fish and Songzi chicken, I stayed in the Wenshui scenic area in Songzi for one night, and it felt pretty good. Jingzhou is really an underestimated treasure city, with the feeling of 'being kept in a boudoir and unknown to the public', it has a profound history, a variety of delicious food, and a good travel destination.

Location: Jingzhou city in Hubei province. Getting here: About a thirty minutes train journey from Wuhan city. Highlights: Jingzhou is a small but very beautiful ancient city. There is a wonderful. it wall that goes around the old town. The air is fresh here and I flew my drone to get some wonderful aerial views. This city is really great for a backdrop for portrait photography and it looks like a movie scene. #jingzhou #hubei

#Mainland China Attractions Jingzhou Jinfeng Square Located outside the east gate of Jingzhou District, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, with the ancient city wall and ancient city tower as the background, it is one of the largest urban green leisure and entertainment squares in Hubei Province and one of the must-see attractions for tourists. This is because in 2008, the starting point of the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay in Jingzhou, Hubei Province was at Jinfeng Square. In the center of the square stands the city logo of Jingzhou - the "Golden Phoenix Soaring". The main building of the city logo is a dazzling golden phoenix, with a magnificent design of soaring wings above the blazing sun under the sun. It is definitely a scenic spot to visit, and the elegant surrounding environment makes people feel very comfortable and relaxed.

Love Jingzhou. Jingzhou is bar better than before. Now Jingzhou is developing.

We did a day trip with work for some team building. This park offers a wide variety of activities for all ages. Getting There - This park can be reached by bus. Attractions - There are a lot of different activities inside the park. A 3D show, rollercoaster rides of various kids, different rides for kids and adults, water parks and much more. There’s enough spots to take some beautiful pictures at for those who aren’t keen on going on rides. This park is big and it’s great for spending a day outside with friends. Food & Restaurants - There are several eating places inside the park. The prices are a little high and perhaps the quality of food isn’t that great. Best would be to take snacks with and your own food. Shopping - There are small shops where you can buy some toys. Overall not a bad location for a day outing. #park #rollercoaster #themeparks#roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Basically, Jingzhou will hold a large-scale light show every year, especially the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. This time, in the Jingyue Park of Jingzhou, the Jingchu Lantern Festival, which integrates culture, technology and interaction, produced 57 large and medium-sized light groups and integrated the elements of the light show to blend the culture with the light show. Many dances of the Chu culture theme, such as "Yu Yuan Xing", "Fengming Chutian", "Aspirations to the Central Plains" and "Chudu Impression", will transform the whole art lanterns into a three-dimensional art with Jingchu culture and modern art. Picture. In fact, in addition to the good show of the light show, it is more time to spend time with the family. It is very beautiful to have a memory that can be remembered together. The most important thing in the Chinese New Year is reunion.

The light show in Jingzhou was amazing. If you're in Jingzhou and want to see or do something interesting, I'd suggest it.

Recently, Jingzhou's cultural and tourism activities have been spectacular, and I chose to stay at Yixuan Youju Jingzhou Olympic Sports Center Branch, embarking on an unforgettable travel photography journey. The Beauty of Jingzhou's Cultural and Tourism Activities The upgraded version of Jingzhou's recent "A Millennium City Full of Elegance" cultural tourism project is truly stunning. On Friday and Saturday nights, I went to the East Gate of Jingzhou Ancient City and was fortunate to witness the "Boat Launch Ceremony + Phoenix Light Show." The ancient boat slowly set sail, and "Qu Yuan," dressed in ancient costume, held wine to offer to the river. The solemn Chu state rituals seemed to take me back a thousand years. Then, two phoenix light shadows danced above the city walls, echoing the phoenix sculpture at Jinfeng Square. Such a breathtaking scene, captured by my camera, every frame looked like a blockbuster. Afterwards, I headed to the North Gate to watch the live interactive performance "Three Kingdoms Heroes Road: I Act the Three Kingdoms in Jingzhou." Exciting segments like "Market Appearance" and "Martial Saint's Debut" made me feel as if I were in the war-torn Three Kingdoms era. The actors' superb performances, combined with the ancient city backdrop, made every shot full of historical atmosphere. The Charm of Yixuan Youju Jingzhou Olympic Sports Center Branch This hotel is located at Liaoyuan Market, Beijing East Road, Shashi District, newly opened in 2024 with a strong sense of design. The warm wood grain and geometric lines in the hotel lobby create a cozy atmosphere, perfect for shooting stylish photos. The guest rooms feature natural wood decor, clean, tidy, and warm. I especially love the floor-to-ceiling windows in the rooms, where in the morning you can gaze at the morning mist and city life in the alleys, providing a perfect backdrop for photos full of everyday life vibes. Nearby Travel Photography Spots It’s just a 15-minute walk from the hotel to Yuqiao Park. The lakeside corridor in the park is an excellent spot for shooting traditional Hanfu style photos. I strolled along the corridor in Hanfu, letting my companion capture every elegant moment. Under the cherry blossom trees, you can create fresh Japanese-style photos, and at dusk, shoot sunset backlit silhouettes, each picture beautifully intoxicating. Attraction: Jingzhou Yuqiao Park A 10-minute drive takes you to Shashi Wharf Cultural and Creative Park. The rusted gantry crane and colorful graffiti walls form a unique cyberpunk background. I ran and jumped in front of the "Shashi Memory" themed wall, letting the camera capture the most dynamic moments, or leaned against the old brick wall to shoot black-and-white portraits, with a strong sense of historical weight. Attraction: Jingzhou Shashi Wharf Cultural and Creative Park There is also a bus from the hotel entrance directly to Jingzhou Ancient City. The ancient city walls and gates are excellent backgrounds for travel photography, especially Binyang Tower. Climbing the tower offers a panoramic view of the ancient city, perfect for shooting wide shots and close-ups of ancient architecture. Standing on the city wall, facing the breeze, I let the historical charm of the ancient city blend into every photo.

Jingzhou introduces a live interactive performance that lets you "become" part of the story! Jingzhou offers not only the conventional "sightseeing" mode but also a unique immersive experience.

🌟A Complete Guide to Jingzhou's 2025 Super Cultural Tourism Month! Wear a Warring States robe for a free tour of the ancient city, and enjoy over 200 exciting activities! > Every day in Jingzhou felt like a journey through history. This 3,000-year-old center of Chu culture amazed me with its ancient heritage and modern vitality! When I first stood on the Jingzhou Ancient City Wall, gazing at the intact Ming and Qing Dynasty city structure below, and the soaring eaves of Zhang Juzheng's former residence in the distance gleaming in the setting sun, I was instantly overwhelmed by the city's rich history. 2025 coincides with Jingzhou's "Super Cultural Tourism Month," which runs from now until mid-to-late October. **Over 200 cultural tourism events** will bring this ancient city a new lease of life. --- 🏯 **Must-See Attractions** **1. Jingzhou Ancient City Wall and Guan Yu Temple** As one of China's best-preserved ancient city walls, the wall surrounding Jingzhou is a must-see. I chose to climb Binyang Tower **in the evening**, watching the sunset gild the ancient city walls and the moat shimmer in the afterglow. At the Guan Yu Shrine, I learned about Guan Yu's defense of Jingzhou. Inside, there's a replica of his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and a camphor tree, said to be a thousand years old, stands at the entrance. This is a must-see for Three Kingdoms enthusiasts. **2. Jingzhou Museum and the Warring States Robe Experience** The Jingzhou Museum boasts an astounding collection, particularly artifacts from the Three Kingdoms period, such as the Sword of King Fuchai of Wu. During the 2025 Super Cultural Tourism Month, the museum also presented a **Special Exhibition of Textiles and Embroidery from the No. 1 Chu Tomb in Mashan** and a "Wonderful Night" event at the Museum. Most interestingly, visitors wearing Warring States robes can receive a transparent postcard featuring Chu culture (limited to 100 per day). Jingzhou, considered the birthplace of Warring States robe cultural elements, is an ideal location for capturing these images. **3. Jingzhou Fantawild Oriental Myths** Although Fantawild is a theme park, it cleverly incorporates elements of Chu culture. Following my guide, I avoided the crowds and headed straight to the "Yu the Great Controlling the Flood" attraction upon opening in the morning, barely waiting in line. At 3 PM, I went to see the "Chu Palace Music and Dance" chime bell performance. It was half the crowd of the more popular "Chu Music," but the effect was just as stunning. In the evening, I watched the fireworks from the stone bridge in the Festival Square, capturing perfect shots of the fireworks exploding off the eaves of the ancient buildings without the crowds. **4. Zhang Juzheng Yuan Universe Art Museum** This newly opened art museum is a highlight of Super Cultural Tourism Month. Using 5D technology, the immersive performance "Re-Painting Zhang Juzheng" brings Ming Dynasty history to life. As a history buff, I find this blend of technology and history particularly captivating and more interactive than traditional exhibitions. 🎎 **Special Experiences** **1. Super Cultural Tourism Month Exclusive Events** What a blessing to be part of Jingzhou's Super Cultural Tourism Month in 2025! From September 20th to mid-to-late October, the city hosted over 200 events, including 95 major events. I participated in the live performance of "Three Kingdoms: Jingzhou Fu" and the interactive skit "Jingzhou City Defense Order" in Jingzhou Ancient City. Actors dressed in ancient costumes performed against the backdrop of the ancient city, creating a sense of transport back to the Three Kingdoms period. 2. Chu Culture Festival Series of Activities As part of the second Chu Culture Festival, Jingzhou launched various cultural activities for the benefit of the people. I watched a performance of Jingzhou's excellent Flower Drum Opera at the Kaile Theater and visited the Yijing Jingen Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition at Guandi Temple Square. The "Friends of Hubei, Chu Charms of Jingzhou" Golden Autumn Pioneer Concert, held at the Olympic Sports Center on September 21st, offered free admission to all A-level scenic spots in the city from September 20th to 26th with a ticket. 3. Jing Street Digital Museum and Night Market The "Spiritual Realm Ruins" digital museum on Jing Street was a revelation, offering a unique adventure through digital technology. Jing Street is even more lively at night, with the debut of the "box lantern" show and intangible cultural heritage folk activities attracting crowds of tourists. The night view here is stunning, making it a great spot for photos and relaxation. 🍜 **Food Recommendations** Jingzhou's food keeps me full every day: - **Zaotang Noodles**: A local breakfast specialty, with chewy noodles and a delicious broth. - **Gong'an Guokui**: Crispy and delicious, it's a must-eat while hot. More authentic than the snacks on the main street. - **Fish Cake Hot Pot**: A hot pot made with Jingzhou's specialty fish cake, it's incredibly delicious. - **Old Street Market**: From September 30th to October 8th, the "Old Street Market - Double Festival Chu Flavor" market is held on Zhang Juzheng Street in Jingzhou Ancient City. Sample time-honored Jingzhou delicacies like Juzhenyuan, Xiaohu Duck, and soy sauce noodles. 🏨 **Accommodation Recommendations** - **Hotels near the Ancient City**: We recommend staying near the ancient city, within walking distance of major attractions.

Honestly, no more crowding to grab the front seats for "Fly with You" at Funworld Jingzhou! I've tried this niche guide three times, spent the whole day never waiting more than 20 minutes in line, and took tons of stunning Chu-style photos without anyone photobombing. Hurry and save this! 🌟 Rush to these two lesser-known attractions first for a full experience The park opens at 9 AM, head straight to "Dayu Controls the Waters"! Don’t wait until noon when it’s crowded. Right after opening, this ride basically has no line. Sitting on the wooden raft rushing through the water, the breeze mixed with mist is super refreshing, and the Chu-style reliefs along the way are exquisite—way better than just standing in line watching people. At 3 PM, go to "Chu Palace Music and Dance," which has half the crowd of the popular "Chu Music." The bianzhong (chime bells) performance is more delicate. Sitting in the second row center, you can clearly see the musician’s fingers dancing on the bells, even the patterns on the bianzhong are visible. After the show, you can chat with the musician about Chu music trivia, much more comfortable than squeezing in to watch "Chu Music." 🍜 Hidden Jingzhou snacks in the alleys, tastier than the main street Don’t crowd the snack stalls on the main street! Enter the third gate on the east side of the Cultural Town, there’s a "Jingwei Snack House." The freshly baked Gong’an Guokui (a type of flatbread) is crispy and flaky, the preserved vegetable filling is perfectly savory, and paired with a bowl of chilled rice dumplings, it’s refreshing and filling. The owner is local and says many employees come here to eat. It’s tastier and cheaper than the fast food on the main street—only 15 yuan to get full. 📸 3 hidden photo spots, no photobombers and great shots 1. "Chu Street Side Alley": When the main street is crowded, turn into the adjacent bluestone side alley. The white walls and black tiles with hanging Chu-style lanterns, with the 4 PM slanting sunlight shining in, create a natural vintage filter effect—no need to dodge tourists. 2. "Nuwa Mends the Sky Exit Stone Bridge": Don’t rush to leave after the attraction. From the stone bridge, you can shoot the distant Chu-style pagoda. Around 6 PM at sunset, the pagoda is dyed warm yellow by the sun, and every shot looks like an ancient-style masterpiece. 3. "Festival Square Stone Bridge": Don’t squeeze into the middle of the square to watch fireworks at night! The stone bridge is lower and you can capture fireworks bursting at the eaves of ancient buildings without being jostled. I filmed here last year and my video blew up on social media. 💡 A final tip: When booking shows on the Funworld app, don’t pick the on-the-hour sessions! For example, choose unconventional times like 10:15 or 14:45 for the "Qu Yuan" show. The lines are about one-third shorter, and the indoor venue is cool—perfect to avoid the midday sun. Trust me, babies, playing Funworld Jingzhou this way lets you catch the details of Chu culture without suffering long lines. You’ll have a relaxed and fulfilling day, way better than blindly following the crowd!
