Yichang's most beautiful waterway road trip route

The most beautiful waterway in Yichang is located in Xingshan County, Yichang City, which has become a tourist landscape in western Hubei. At the same time, this highway will also connect Baidicheng, Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Zhaojun's hometown, Shennongjia and Wudang Mountain.

Such as a series of beautiful scenery, is the best place to go in road trip.

Self-driving strategy takes into account that driving on the "most beautiful water highway" may not be able to enjoy the best scenery because of the relationship between visual angle and visual field, so it designs a tourist route starting from the "most beautiful water highway" and returning from the old S32 1 national highway. See the figure, the blue route (water highway) and the yellow route (32 1 national highway) around Xiangxi River.

Bridge museum

On the expressway, with mountains, at the bottom of the garage, clouds are lingering. Bayi expressway, known as the "Bridge Museum", has passed several so-called super-large bridges. On the expressway, there are barriers on both sides, so I don't feel anything on the way to Ma Pingchuan. It is estimated that only by going to S32 1 provincial highway hovering around Bayi Expressway can we appreciate the grandeur of the viaduct.
