    "It is a bit far from Zhaomingtai, but it is quiet and the environment is very good. It is very comfortable to walk in a large circle. Be sure to go to the Guangde Temple in the middle of the shuttle bus. You can park in the middle. The Guangde Temple is delicious. The pagoda is very special and worth seeing!"

    "The three-crown Shennongjia Scenic Area is worth a deep experience. Each of the six major scenic spots has its own characteristics. It is suitable for travel that likes nature and likes to explore. The scenery of Dajiu Lake and Shennong Valley is the best. The golden monkeys are now in the big and small dragon pools. The tickets are not included in the joint tickets. It is said that they have to make an appointment in advance. It is a pity that they have not seen it."

    "A large photography base, various antique buildings, wearing Hanfu Tangfu to take pictures here is good. It is a pity that there was a TV crew stationed in November, which caused Tangcheng night scene to be suspended. It was a pity that there was no night view of Tangcheng. But when the peak came to Tangcheng, there were indeed a lot fewer people. Yes, I punched in and took pictures."

    "I personally think that the scenery is like that. It is estimated that southerners are tired of seeing it. The view of the front position on the second floor of the cruise ship is estimated to be left to VIP, not as good as the first floor deck. I bought a cafe for 30 yuan and drank a cup of tea."

    Highlights: The Three Small Gorges in Wushan County is located in the lower reaches of the Daning River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. Longmen Gorge, Bawu Gorge and Dicui Gorge span 50 kilometers along the river, all of which offer tranquil and splendid scenery. The best way to enjoy the Three Small Gorges is to take a cruise down Daning River, passing by Longmen Gorge, Bawu Gorge and Dicui Gorge. The entire journey takes about 3 hours. If you like, you can switch to a smaller boat at the end of Dicui Gorge to further enjoy the serene area. Floating along the river can be a mystical experience, as the cliffs on both sides of the river tower over the boat, offering a humbling perspective. On the edges of the cliffs also stand mysterious hanging coffins.

    Highlights: The Three Gorges Summit Attraction is located on the top of Chijia Mountain, above Kuimen. The Attraction starts from Zuofangcao in the north, overlooks Baiyan Mountain in the south, Baidi Poetry City in the west, and Wushan Airport in the east, stretching for more than 10 kilometers. The Three Gorges Summit Attraction was named after Du Fu's poem "Ten Quatrains of Kuizhou Song" "The red armor and white salt both pierce the sky, and the neighborhoods are winding around the mountain tops". It was successfully opened on May 1, 2020 and was rated as a national AAAA-level tourist Attraction in October 2020. The top of the Three Gorges is located in one of the birthplaces of ancient Kui music more than 4,000 years ago, where a musician in Chinese history and the originator of elegant music, "Kui", was born. The Attraction deeply integrates green mountains and clear waters with tracing one's roots, singing and dancing, and elegant music, writing in thick ink the magnificent landscape of "green mountains are a painting without ink for thousands of years, and green waters are a zither without strings for thousands of years", and carefully creates the Kui drum altar, the four-view music altar, the statue of the ancestor of music, the Kui gate, the bamboo rhythm railing, the Yinglongtai and other music holy places. The highest point of the Attraction is 1,388 meters above sea level, which is the highest point in the physical form of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the most beautiful point in the landscape form, the best point in the cultural level, the highest point in the spiritual level, and the most perfect point in green development. When you climb here, you will see clouds and mist, and colorful clouds; looking around, you will see continuous mountains and peaks; looking down from the sky, you will see the winding and floating jade belt of the Yangtze River. Stepping on the glass plank road, you will feel the peerless artistic conception of "standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on all the small mountains", and a landscape painting of "hanging, dangerous, surprising and strange" will be in full view.

    "When Li Bai's "chaoshi Baidi Caiyunjian" echoed in his ears, and when Du Fu's "infinite fall wood Xiaoxiao" rippled in his heart, did you also aspire to enter the ancient poems in person? Baidi City·Qitang Gorge Wind and Rain Covered Bridge: From here in the morning, this bridge will be closely connected to Baidi City and the county seat, which is undoubtedly an excellent place to punch in and take pictures."
