Must-visit attractions in Xianning one-day self-driving tour

Xianning is a famous tourist city in Hubei Province with rich tourism resources, attracting many self-driving friends. So if you only have one day, what are the must-visit attractions in Xianning for a self-driving tour? Let’s take a look with the editor!

1. Jiugong Mountain

Jiugong Mountain Scenic Area is located in the middle section of Mufu Mountain, Tongshan County, Xianning City, Hubei Province. It is a famous summer resort in Central China. The total area is 196 square kilometers. It is 58 kilometers away from Tongshan County. It is 178 kilometers away from Wuhan.

In the hot summer, I climbed up Jiugong Mountain and sat by the window of the bus, but I saw "white clouds" everywhere. All the scenery in front of me was covered by the vast "white clouds" and the misty " shrouded in green mist. There are white clouds floating in front of you, and people seem to be walking on the clouds. Moving forward, the white clouds seemed to be deliberately dodging, for fear of colliding head-on; looking back, the clouds on both sides that were busy before closed again, and there was still a vast sea of ??clouds. Stepping out of the secluded realm of "white clouds", there is a misty "green mist" in front of you. It seems that if you walk a little further you can touch the "green mist". What a pity! Although I kept walking forward, I couldn't touch it.

2. Yunzhong Lake

Yunzhong Lake is named Yunzhong Lake because of its height. Because of its height, it causes a sea of ??clouds to reach the sky, and fog clouds often float on the lake. Yunzhong Lake Tourism Area, Yunzhong Lake is the location of Jiugongshan Town and the accommodation base for Jiugongshan tourism. This is a central scenic spot with cultural landscape as its main feature, including pine trees welcoming guests, spring cliffs (waterfalls) spraying snow, Zhenjun Stone Hall, Wu Xiong leaving the customs, turtle pilgrimage, and bronze drums beating the sky.

This is the real summer resort in the editor’s mind, and it should be like this. Then every time I took other friends for a walk, they all felt the same as the editor. When you come here, you can do nothing, just lean on the fence, watch the pedestrians walking around, the young people playing the piano, and the old people walking their dogs, and you can stay comfortably all afternoon. Speaking of which, the editor really wants to move to Yunzhong Lake to see the stars!

3. Tonggubao

Tonggubao, also known as Tonggu Peak, is the main peak of Jiugong Mountain, 4.7 kilometers away from Yunzhong Lake and 1567 meters above sea level. The mountain looks like a huge drum. The mountain is rich in mica, which turns copper-colored when exposed to sunlight, hence the name Tonggu Bao. It is juxtaposed on the same axis as Sanfengjian, Longrui Mountain and Laoyajian, all above 1500 meters above sea level, forming the majestic peaks in the middle of Mufu Mountain. They are all glacial tinder.

It takes about fifteen minutes to get to Tonggu Fort from Yunzhong Lake by car or car. As the name suggests, you can't feel the bustle of the city when standing on the Tonggu Bao. Instead there’s that wonderfully laid-back vibe of being close to the sky. Most of the shops with bronze drums are small businesses selling snacks. It was a weekend when I went there, and I happened to meet some classmates who were visiting Jiugong Mountain for the first time. After some discussion, a few people simply packed up a car and sat in the drum bag. When we reached the top of the mountain, we saw everyone climbing leisurely, climbing ladders as they walked.

It was the weekend!
