▲ Qingchuan Pavilion Park, located on Guishan Mountain in Hanyang, overlooks the Yangtze River and faces the Yellow Crane Tower on the opposite bank. Together with the Yellow Crane Tower and Guqintai, it is known as one of the "Three Sacred Sites of Chu." Originally built during the Ming Dynasty, the current structure was reconstructed in the 1980s based on historical photographs. Visitors can enjoy the refreshing river breeze and scenic views from the pavilion. The park derives its name from the famous Tang Dynasty poem by Cui Hao: "Clear waters reflect Hanyang's trees, lush grasses adorn Parrot Island." The attraction features three main structures—Qingchuan Pavilion, Yuji Xinggong, and Tiemenguan—along with over a dozen smaller sites, including Yubei Pavilion, Jingchu Xiongfeng Stele, archways, riverside embankments, and winding corridors. These elements showcase the traditional Chu architectural style of building terraces and pavilions along mountain slopes. With its picturesque pavilions, terraces, and lush greenery, the park is a popular spot for Wuhan locals to take wedding photos.
▲ Visiting Guiyuan Temple to pray for blessings is a daily custom for many Wuhan residents, seeking peace and prosperity in ordinary times. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, hundreds of thousands of devotees come here to pray for safety. In the temple's Arhat Hall, counting the arhats to see one's fortune is a must-do fun activity when visiting Guiyuan Temple. Located in Hanyang District, Wuhan, Guiyuan Temple was founded in 1658 during the Qing Dynasty and is one of the local Buddhist temples. The most distinctive feature of Guiyuan Temple is the 500 golden arhats in the Arhat Hall. Inside, each of the 500 arhats is vividly crafted—some sit cross-legged in meditation, others recline on rocks gazing at the sky, and some are engrossed in studying Buddhist scriptures. Visitors entering the Arhat Hall can start from any arhat and count sequentially to their actual age. The identity, expression, and posture of the arhat they land on are believed to reveal their destiny.
