Yichang Chengdong Park Wanderings | A Perfect Blend of Urban Green Lung and Yangtze River Charm

A Stroll through Yichang Chengdong Park 🚶‍♀️ | A Perfect Blend of Urban Green Lung and Yangtze River Charm I recently discovered a great place to relax on weekends in Yichang – Chengdong Park! It's a rare green space in the city, with natural scenery on one side and the city skyline on the other. Every casual shot looks like a postcard! 📸 🏞️Highlights: [Chengdong Park] I absolutely love the trails here! The 5-kilometer long mountain loop trail offers views of Yichang's city landscape from different angles. It's recommended to come in the evening to avoid the scorching sun and capture stunning sunset river views. There are several observation decks in the park; my favorite is the one near the North Gate, offering an unparalleled panoramic view (Address: No. 82 Chengdong Avenue, Xiling District, open 24 hours!). 🌉Nearby Activities: 1. From the park's South Gate, it's a 10-minute walk to [Wanda Plaza], super convenient for shopping and dining. 2. If you want to capture a panoramic view of the Yangtze River, you must visit the 37th-floor observation deck at [Yijing Meiji High-rise River View Hotel] where I stayed. It offers an unobstructed 180-degree river view (No. 162 Yanjiang Avenue), and the evening glow at sunset is breathtaking. 3. In the evening, you can take a stroll along Binjiang Park; the river breeze is especially comfortable. 🍜Foodie Guide: ▫️[A Xin Guotie] outside the park's East Gate always has a long queue; their fresh meat potstickers burst with juice in every bite. ▫️[Yudouji] Soy Milk Hotpot on the 3rd floor of Wanda is a specialty of Yichang; remember to order freshly killed live fish. ▫️For a late-night snack, I recommend [Fang Ma Noodle House] near the hotel; their beef noodles with special pickled vegetables are absolutely amazing. 📌Practical Tips: 1️⃣ There are many mosquitoes in the park, so remember to bring mosquito repellent. 2️⃣ If you want to capture panoramic city views, it's recommended to bring a telephoto lens. 3️⃣ The trails can be a bit slippery on rainy days, so wear non-slip shoes. 4️⃣ For the hotel, I recommend choosing a river-facing room; you'll be gently awakened by the morning sun on the river.
