Hubei Huanggang Dongpo Red Cliffs Nian Nu Jiao·Chibi Huai Gu The great river flows eastward, waves washing away, the heroes of ages past. By the old rampart's west side, people say, is the Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms' Zhou Yu. Chaotic rocks shatter the clouds, startling waves split the shore, rolling up a thousand heaps of snow. The landscape is like a painting, filled for a moment with so many heroes. In distant thought of Gongjin back then, with young Qiao just wed, a figure so brave and handsome. With a feather fan and a silk cap, between talks and laughter, the mighty enemy is reduced to ashes and smoke. A spiritual journey to the old country, sentimental should laugh at me, for prematurely graying hair. Life is like a dream, toasting the moon over the river with a cup in hand. 'Nian Nu Jiao·Chibi Huai Gu' is a masterpiece that has shaken the souls of the Chinese people. Coming to Dongpo Red Cliffs located in Huanggang, Hubei, one can see how many people through the ages have chanted and engraved this work. Su Shi, one of the most charismatic poets in Chinese history, had an astonishing talent, blending a personality of boldness and innocence, unstrained elegance and wisdom.

In Huanggang City, Hubei Province, there is a rather special scenic area known as "Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs," which is different from the ancient battlefield of Chibi in Xianning City, with vastly different connotations. Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs is where Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou to serve as the deputy commander of the local militia. From the title alone, one can guess it was a relatively low-level official position, but Su Dongpo was, after all, an optimistic and renowned scholar. During his more than four years in Huangzhou, he managed to write two prose compositions and one poem, which might represent the pinnacle of his poetic achievements. However, the real battlefield of Chibi, located 100 kilometers away from Huangzhou, was a place of actual warfare... The core area of Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs is not very large, but it is extremely exquisite and worth visiting, featuring attractions like "Su Dongpo's Shrine" and "Heavenly Spring"... Looking through the core area, it seems to be under expansion, which feels somewhat unnecessary.

During the Spring Festival holiday, I went to the Dongpo Red Cliff Scenic Area, and it's really a pity that such a good scenic spot has few people. 🤔 However, having fewer people also has its advantages, making the experience more leisurely and comfortable. 😜 📢I strongly suggest everyone to spend 80 yuan for a guide, you will really gain a lot! The guide will give you a deeper understanding of the history and culture here, adding more fun. 🎓 The scenery of the scenic area is really beautiful, with the river flowing leisurely and the green mountains surrounding, making people feel happy. 🤗 There are also many steles, calligraphy and paintings and other cultural relics, showing the long history and cultural heritage. 📚 Walking here, it seems to be able to feel the pride and talent of Su Dongpo in those years. 😍 🙅‍Don't miss this beautiful and meaningful place!
