    "As a fan of the three countries, Gulongzhong is definitely a long-awaited attraction. The scenic spot is not far from the urban area of Xiangyang , and it is very convenient to drive or take public transportation here. The internal mountains and rivers are towering around the ancient trees, and the humanistic atmosphere is also very heavy. It is worth a visit."

    "In summer, it is best to come to the ancient city in the evening or at night, because it is too sun-dried during the day and there are not many people. There are a lot of people every night. I don’t know where they are from. The scenic spot is free to visit. I didn’t buy anything delicious. There are a lot of roadside drinks. My favorite is the ancient beauty of shopping. Those who have not been to the Great Wall can go up to the city bridge. The structure of the city wall is similar to that of the Great Wall, and you can also see the magnificent Han River on the city wall. You can't see such a big river in the north. You can't ride an electric bicycle in the scenic area, you can only walk. Many of the riverside have Kongming lights. 10 yuan three, 10 yuan four. Xiangyang is Zhuge Liang's hometown. Zhuge Liang has a great impact on China's southern regions, especially Yunnan. Now many ethnic minorities in Yunnan worship Zhuge Liang."

    "Very recommended 5A scenic spot, the price itinerary is transparent, the route is clear, and it is easy to choose different routes to visit the attractions. I take the air-conditioned car in the scenic spot from the visitor center, play one by one, Prince Po, Zixuan Palace and Nanyan Palace, and finally start from Nanyan to Jinding, which takes 3 hours and 15 minutes. In fact, it is very slow to walk, the cable car 🚡 down the mountain, and the combination of labor and leisure!
