It was an amazing experience to go and visit 太乙cave. The lights inside the cave made a great atmosphere and I felt like in the wonderland. I was surprised to see so many nice shapes and halls made out of water and rock. The trip into a cave was 60 yuan for a ticket, there was no english translator. When we finished it we went on the top of the hill to meet monks from the local temples. If you plan to visit it with your baby be ready to carry him or her a lot. Steep stairs are everywhere. There is a small lake nearby where you can spend some time too. If the weather is nice you can rent a boat and sail there with wild ducks. #太乙cave

Hubei Xinjin Net Red Punch, the first cliff ferris wheel in Xianning area! The Ferris wheel is a project that feels both exciting and romantic. If a place is beautiful and you can sit on the Ferris wheel, what a wonderful thing! The Ferris wheel can be a landmark in the city or an item in an amusement park. Generally speaking, as a city landmark, the scale must be not small. If you are only in an amusement park, it will be less irritating and more romantic. But what surprised me was that I thought that the large-scale Ferris wheel was mostly in a big city, but I didn't imagine that in the small mountain village of Xianning, Hubei, I also "hidden" a large-scale Ferris wheel, and it was still built. Ferris wheel above the cliff. is a popular tourist attraction in the Xianning area of Hubei Province. It is located in the village with a very good ecological environment. On a cliff in the town of honey, there is a small Ferris wheel. It is the first cliff ferris wheel in Xianning area. It was just opened this year on National Day and soon became the new network red card punching area in Hubei. The cliff originally had an altitude of 360 meters, plus the height of the Ferris wheel, which makes people feel more exciting. Sitting in the cockpit of the Ferris wheel, you can enjoy the view of the honey town with 720 degrees without a dead end. The forest that stretches for miles is pleasing to the eye. The slow speed of the Ferris wheel makes the whole atmosphere extremely romantic. With your beloved TA, take a romantic Ferris wheel and spend the quality of the two-person world together, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the town and enjoy a romantic journey. Or take a child who is curious about the world and sit on the wonderful Ferris wheel to start a journey of enjoying nature. The Ferris wheel is like its name. Although this is a magic, it does have strange magic and will make people feel happy. The cliff ferris wheel in the town of honey is so chic, it is worth trying.

Many scenic spots now have glass bridges, but the first 9D glass bridge in Central China is actually in Xianning! The heat of the glass bridge has risen so much in recent years that many scenic spots have begun to build glass bridges. At the beginning, I knew that the glass bridge was the Grand Canyon glass bridge in Zhangjiajie. Later, as the glass bridge was hot, it became more and more. In fact, playing glass bridges does not have to go to Zhangjiajie. Today, many scenic spots have glass bridges. But with the increasing number of glass bridges, visitors' surprises seem to start to fall. So some scenic spots began to innovate, playing on the glass bridge, and then the 9D glass bridge appeared. What surprised me was that the first 9D glass bridge in Central China was not in the famous mountains and rivers, but in a small rural town, which made me curious about this place. , Chongyang County, Xianning City, Hubei Province, is a quiet mountain village. The ecology here is very good and it is an excellent health resort. Although it is a small place, it is not ordinary. In the small town of Yingshang Village, it is the first tourist bridge built in China with 9D technology. The glass bridge spans two viewing towers, 320 meters above sea level, and the bridge is 248 meters long. Standing on the bridge is like walking through the clouds. Looking down, it is a lush forest. Looking around, the scenery of the whole honey town is unobstructed. What is the difference between a glass bridge in a small town and a glass bridge in other places? Where is its 9D reflected? 9D refers to the use of surreal visual 9D technology and thrilling special effects in the glass flyover. It has simulation scenes, three-dimensional pictures, and thrilling plots, integrating visual, auditory and tactile feelings. In particular, a few special effects glass at the end of the bridge, stepping on the cracking effect and sound, attracted many tourists to scream again and again, dare not move forward.

There is a large natural lake in the scenic area - Baihu. It is fresh and quiet every morning. Slow walking along the lake, or morning running, is a good way to embrace nature. There is also a yacht marina on the lakeside. When the weather is fine, you can take the boat and the waves to enjoy the lake and mountains. The pool of the mountain lake hot spring is divided into indoor and outdoor. The indoor water temperature is relatively constant, the night lighting is sufficient, and the weather is also less affected, which is more suitable for the elderly and children to soak.

The establishment of Liujiabao Village began in the late Ming Dynasty. It was founded by descendants of Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his paternal half-brother. From Liu Bang onward, the village continued to thrive until the Southern Dynasties period. Among the Liu ancestors in the village, a total of 36 emperors emerged. Currently, nearly 10,000 descendants of the Liu family reside there. Therefore, the village is rightfully known as the "Imperial Village." This status, unattainable by other villages, is the historical asset that the people of Liujiabao are most proud of. The entire ancient village consists of four clusters of Ming and Qing Dynasty residential buildings. There are currently over 2,000 rooms of varying sizes, 38 corridors, 54 courtyards, and one covered bridge and one stone arch bridge. The village is also a well-known scholarly family. According to preliminary statistics, from dozens of families in the village, there have been two *juren* (provincial graduates), four *gongsheng* (imperial college students), six *xiangsheng* (county school students), and 23 *xiucai* (qualified candidates for the imperial examination). The entire clan was very prominent in the Jiangnan region and has been known as the "Mo Zhuang Family" since ancient times. In addition, the nearby Yuyuan Garden was the residence of Wang Mingfan, a magistrate in the late Qing Dynasty. This ancient residential building is grand in scale and is one of the largest existing single ancient residential buildings. It has extremely high cultural relic value and tourism development value, and can be visited together with the ancient residences of Liujiabao. In short, Liujiabao Village is not just a village, but a "historical theme park." Visiting not only allows you to see ancient architecture, but also to claim an emperor as a relative. Why not give it a try?
