Wow! I've finally found the perfect summer retreat - Yaozhi River

🔻Discovering 'Heaven on Earth', a summer haven in Xiangyang, Hubei||| We stumbled upon a 'fairyland', walking among it, feeling embraced by 'Mother Nature'. Here, the landscape merges with waterfalls flowing straight down, truly a hidden gem for travelers. Teacher Cheng said: This is the 'Baokang secret realm'. The area is vast, with many attractions to explore, such as the celestial Yao Emperor Gorge, the unfathomable Old Dragon Cave, the Three Realms Cave that traverses three worlds, and China's first phosphate mine museum focusing on phosphate exhibits... Each one is astonishing. Oh, and it's also a cool haven in the scorching summer. 🔸【Attraction Tips】 1. The attractions cover a large area, so it's recommended to take a sightseeing car or drive yourself, as the spots are quite far apart. 2. It's advised to allocate at least a whole day; we didn't fully experience many attractions in half a day, like the Three Realms Cave (which tells the stories of the heavens, the earth, and the human world, and is an actual mine cave from the past). The staff mentioned it takes about 2.5 hours. 3. The weather can be quite hot under the sun, but it's particularly cool inside the caves, with an average temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius (bring a jacket). So, you can plan your route wisely, like entering the caves at noon to enjoy the coolness, and visiting outdoor attractions in the morning or at sunset to enjoy the beautiful scenery. 4. There aren't many food supply points in the attractions, so it's a good idea to bring your own snacks and water. 5. Since the scenic area is large, it's recommended to wear comfortable shoes. 🔸【Attraction】Yaozhi River Tourist Area
