Mountain Won't Come to Me, So I'll Go to the Mountain: Yichang Three Gorges Scenic Spot Guide

Be a Miao ethnic girl for a day at Three Gorges Scenic Spot! You must visit Yichang once - the mountains and waters are as green as jade. Only after visiting will you understand why Li Bai loved traveling through mountains and waters hh~ 📍Three Gorges Scenic Spot Self-guided tour with car entry and exit guide⬇️ 🎫Entrance fee: CNY 200/person (car entry) · 🚗Transportation routes 1️⃣After makeup and costume, it's around 11:00. If you're not getting dressed up, I recommend going earlier! Take a taxi to [Wangjiaping Tourist Center], about 40+ minutes. Arrived at the tourist center at 11:40 and didn't choose the boat entry 🚢 route, as boat entry tickets are only available at 9:00, which was too early for us~ 2️⃣Upon arrival at the tourist center, the entrance ticket includes bus and boat tickets. You need to take a bus 🚌 for 20 minutes to reach the dock ⛵️, then transfer to a boat. In about 10 minutes, you'll arrive at the scenic spot. 3️⃣After arriving, I recommend taking the [cable car] up the mountain, then slowly walking down while sightseeing. The cable car costs CNY 30/person. · 🚢Touring route Tour time: about 4 hours 1️⃣Take the cable car up and then hike down. On your way down to the middle of the mountain, you'll reach Bawang Village, pass through the ancient Tea-Salt Road, and arrive at Bawang Village performance square. Performance times: 11:30/13:30/14:30, three shows daily. 2️⃣After watching the performance, head downhill. You can grab a bite at Mingyue Pavilion Restaurant. 3️⃣Continue walking downhill toward Longjin Stream. At 13:00, you can watch a wedding performance at the Wedding Building, but we missed it! 4️⃣On the way to Longjin Stream, you'll pass through Taiji Cat Cave. This is the best spot for photos in my opinion, especially for pictures 2, 4, 7, and 12 - absolutely gorgeous! Take note! 5️⃣Enter Longjin Stream from the left and exit from the right. There are many performers along the way. Make sure to reserve enough time as the scenery here is breathtaking! 6️⃣⚠️Boats returning to Wangjiaping run every 30 minutes, with the last one at 17:30. Be sure to plan your time accordingly! · 👗Costume recommendations I suggest getting dressed up before going. You can rent costumes at Three Gorges Scenic Spot, but they're really expensive! And there aren't many options. If you want great photos, it's better to prepare your outfit elsewhere! 📷Photography guide I took photos with my own camera, using a Fuji XS10 + Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 lens. Every step offers a new view, and even smartphone 📱 photos turn out great. 🏠Accommodation recommendation Yichang Pedestrian Street, Yage Huanju Hotel (Yichang Binjiang Park CBD Shopping Center Branch) - lots of good food nearby
