Things to do in Ezhou

Xishan Mountain in Ezhou was called Fanshan Mountain in ancient times. It was named Xishan Mountain because it is located to the west of the ancient capital of Wu Wang, the current urban area of ​​Ezhou City in Hubei Province. Xishan Mountain is located on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, 68 kilometers away from Wuhan, a metropolis in central China. It faces the Red Cliff of Huangzhou in the north, and is adjacent to Yanglan Lake in the south, connected to the vast expanse of blue water. It is connected to the prosperous downtown in the east, and is supported by the 100-mile Fanchuan River in the west, with the river and the lake, rising from the ground. Xishan Mountain has nine bends, nine peaks and six valleys, and mountains and pine and cypress trees cover the sky. There are green gullies and red cliffs, and waterfalls. The whole mountain is about 1.6 kilometers long from east to west and about 1.2 kilometers wide from north to south. The main peak is 170 meters high, and the total area is more than 4,000 acres.

The Yiai Lake Scenic Area is very large, and the Yiai Qing Scenic Area is only a part of it. At the north end of the Yiai Lake, you can climb up to the Liuguang Pavilion to overlook the Yiai Lake, or walk across the unique Xugong Bridge to see the shore scenery in the lake. The Yiai Lake North parking lot is free and is located in the Yiai Qing Scenic Area, but parking spaces are tight on holidays.

You can buy and use it at any time, which is very convenient. Buying adult tickets is a little cheaper than buying them on the spot. I was very lucky this time. I got on the boat directly after buying them. There were two tumbler ladies performing at the place where I landed. Fish head tofu soup and Liangzi Lake hairy crabs are must-eats on the island.

Ezhou Museum is the largest comprehensive museum in Ezhou area and is currently a national second-level museum. The scale of the museum is relatively small, the exhibition capacity is average, the lighting is very poor, and the tour effect and experience are very poor. Many of the glass windows of cultural relics have not been wiped, and many pictures and texts are black. The museum is mainly composed of five major museums, including the Ezhou History Museum, the Three Kingdoms Wudu Cultural Museum, the Ezhou Ancient Bronze Mirror Museum, and the Ezhou Folk Customs Museum. The others are not worth mentioning. The History Museum started from the Neolithic Age to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and there was nothing outstanding. The Three Kingdoms Wudu Cultural Museum was the most glorious era in Ezhou's history. Sun Quan ascended the throne here and has been the capital of Eastern Wu since then. Therefore, the Six Dynasties culture was relatively prosperous, and the number of cultural relics unearthed in the Six Dynasties was particularly large. Ezhou is the main production area of ​​ancient bronze mirrors, so the Bronze Mirror Museum has become a special exhibition in Ezhou, but the level of excavation of bronze mirror culture is limited. The Ezhou Folk Customs Museum is very good, and the collections are more local. You can enter the museum by swiping your ID card. The whole tour takes more than an hour. There is Xishan Park next to it, which can be visited together.

The exhibited artifacts were quite good; I've also been to joint exhibitions organized by museums like the Hunan Provincial Museum. The Kremlin artifacts here are well-prepared and thoughtfully designed. However, the souvenir and merchandise section was rather boring. I was thinking of buying a pendant or something, but that saved me some money.

It is a mountain that is recommended to climb in the eastern Hubei region. It is free to enter the scenic area. If you are physically fit, the scenery along the way is worth climbing. If you are with children, you can take the scenic area tour bus or watch the immersive experience performance, which requires additional tickets.

The scenic area is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms. From the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Yangtze River Bridge and the Yellow Crane Tower. At the very top, watching the ships on the Yangtze and the cars and trains on the bridge, with the breeze blowing, is very pleasant, and it's not too crowded. The scenic area isn't large; a leisurely hour is about right to appreciate the scenery. Qingchuan Pavilion and Guishan Scenic Area are directly connected by the Iron Gate Pass, which leads to the West Gate of Guishan. Climbing the mountain and enjoying the breeze and osmanthus fragrance is a wonderful experience.

Compared to the crowds at Tingtao Pear Garden during holidays, Luoyan Scenic Area is much quieter. There are no tour groups bringing people here, so it's a good place to stroll around East Lake and enjoy the scenery.
