2025 Dangyang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

Today, I will take you to a picturesque place—the Guanju Riverbank Tourist Area in Dangyang, Hubei. “Guan guan ju jiu, on the islet in the river,” do you already hear the ancient ballad from the Book of Songs in your ears? That's right, this is the origin of the love poem "Guanju." Stepping into the scenic area, you feel as if you have entered a corridor of time. Strolling through poetic spots like Guanju Garden, Jianjia Garden, and By the Water, the ancient verses carved in stone will transport you across millennia, letting you experience the romantic roots of Chinese culture. Of course, the beauty here goes beyond the classical. The scenic area enjoys the lake and mountain views of Yangshu River Reservoir, with over 90% green coverage, making it a natural oxygen bar. In spring, you can take a sightseeing car to wander through thousands of acres of flower seas, watching cherry blossoms and crabapple flowers bloom brilliantly; in summer and autumn, the 500-acre ecological orchard is laden with blueberries, grapes, and yellow peaches, waiting for you to enjoy the fun of picking them yourself. You can also boat on the lake, watch cormorants fishing, and admire the sunset along with swans flying together. If you prefer tranquility, renting a fishing boat to enjoy peaceful moments is also a great choice. The scenic area is open from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. This weekend, why not escape the hustle and bustle and come to Guanju Riverbank to find your own poetry and leisure!

In late autumn in Yichang, I was completely conquered by this golden landscape🍂. This time at Dangyang Yuquan Temple, the real golden autumn beauty was absolutely breathtaking. Just search "Yuquan Temple Parking Lot" on your navigation, and it’s about a 90-minute drive from downtown Yichang. A reminder for everyone: be sure to take the Tuxia route! The Hanyi Road near Yaque Ling is currently under construction, the road is narrow and hard for cars to pass, which can be especially stressful for new drivers. 🚗 Parking tips: 1. It takes 20-30 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the temple along mountain paths, so wearing comfortable shoes is very important. 2. Visiting the ginkgo trees before December 15th will still catch the best viewing period. 3. Be sure to pick a sunny day, as the ginkgo leaves will shine with a golden glow under the sunlight✨ 【Accommodation Recommendation】 This time I stayed at the Orange Hotel · Fun (Yichang Yiling Xiaoxita Branch), which was really convenient! 📍Address: No. 2 Luohe Road, Yiling District (near BRT Xing’an Station) The hotel is right next to the district government, and it’s a 5-minute walk to the night market and snack street. The front desk staff even proactively gave me a travel guide for Yuquan Temple, and the room was prepared with aromatherapy, which was a nice touch. The best part is the great value for money—clean and tidy rooms for just over 200 RMB. 【Yuquan Temple Travel Tips】 That saying from netizens, "Golden ginkgo is expected, but the lush green grass is stunning," is so true! Don’t forget to take plenty of photos on the lawn. The temple itself is also super beautiful, with red walls and golden tiles paired with ginkgo trees—every shot looks like a masterpiece. Open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, morning visits are recommended for the best lighting. 【Food Recommendations】 The night market just a 5-minute walk from the hotel is amazing: ▫️Yichang specialty grilled fish (look for the one with the longest queue) ▫️Handmade rice noodles are a must-try ▫️Freshly fried oil cakes paired with soy milk are absolutely delicious ▫️Pork liver noodles for 7 RMB a bowl will fill you up completely A few extra photography tips📸: 1. Wearing light-colored clothes will make your photos stand out more. 2. Bringing a small folding fan can sometimes create magical light spots. 3. The sunlight is gentlest between 3-4 PM. 4. Don’t miss the few giant ginkgo trees by the side gate—fewer people and beautiful scenery.

This autumn, finally fulfill the dream of visiting Yuquan Zen Temple! The millennium-old temple and the golden ginkgo create an autumn symphony, each frame a poetic masterpiece transcending time and space📸 🚗 One-day deep travel itinerary guide Drive early morning straight to Yuquan Zen Temple in Dangyang, Yichang (about one hour from the city center; arrive before 9 AM to enjoy the serene Zen atmosphere alone). The Tang Dynasty ginkgo tree inside the temple is the absolute star — in mid to late November, its branches are like golden armor, fallen leaves form a golden carpet, perfectly framed with flying eaves, dougong brackets, and incense smoke. It’s recommended to bring a telephoto lens to capture the moment light filters through the leaves or shoot upward to capture the stunning scene of ginkgo and ancient temple together. 🍂 Zen-inspired culinary experience At noon, savor the “Zen food charm” at the vegetarian restaurant beside the temple. Set meals priced 30-50 RMB per person include Arhat vegetarian dishes, mushroom soup, and handmade tofu products, light yet flavorful. Highly recommend trying the “Ginkgo nut stir-fried seasonal vegetables,” which incorporates autumn-exclusive ingredients with a delicate and sweet aftertaste. 📸 Outfit and photography tips for great shots • Clothing: Solid colors (white/cream/gray) convey tranquility; a touch of vermilion or navy adds more Zen vibe. Avoid flashy patterns. • Props: Bring an oil-paper umbrella, bamboo scroll book, or tea set to pose under the ginkgo tree for maximum atmosphere. • Timing: Soft light from 9-10 AM; after 4 PM, the slanting sun gilds the leaves’ edges, backlighting reveals every vein in the leaves. 🏨 Accommodation recommendation · Orange Hotel · Fun (Yiling Xiaoxita Branch) • Prime location: No. 2 Luohe Road, 5-minute walk to the night market. Recommended late-night snacks: “Yiling crispy dumplings” and “cold shrimp,” breakfast features “spicy oil noodles.” • Warm service: Front desk offers hand-drawn local guides highlighting hidden photo spots (like Huangbai River sunset viewing platform). • Self-driving perks: Free parking + 24-hour security, rooms equipped with smart speakers, excellent value at around 200 RMB. 💡 Practical tips 1.

Etiquette: No photography inside the halls, do not touch prayer flags, and be humble when greeting monks with palms together. 3. Alternative plan: If time allows, visit the Three Gorges Longquan Lake Scenic Area (8 km from the temple) to enjoy the sea of pink muhly grass flowers. Autumn exclusive bonus: Occasionally, monks sweep fallen leaves inside the temple. When the golden broom arcs through the air, the shutter captures not just a scene but a moment of Zen flowing through time.

Wearing light-colored coats under the trees, any pose looks like a gentle autumn photo shoot (Photos 1-2 are from here!) 2.

Yuquan Temple Ancient Ginkgo The ginkgo tree in the thousand-year-old temple shines bright yellow. Red ribbons and a courtyard covered with golden leaves overflow with Zen and autumn vibes (Photo 3 shows the super soothing yellow ginkgo!) 4.
