It's not Bali, it's a real-life version of the City in the Sky
The first impression of the City in the Sky comes from the animated world of 🎨Hayao Miyazaki. However, just a 1.5-hour drive from Wuhan, in Huangshi, I experienced another real-life version of the City in the Sky😍.
Standing on the world's largest glass-bottomed viewing platform, it's like starting a thrilling and exciting God's perspective😱, with the mysterious azure of Xian'ao Lake fully in view🤩.
I'm here for the second time🎉! Just to make up for the regret of not walking on the glass bridge last time😭!
📍Location: Wangying Town, Huangshi, Hubei, Nijia Mountain
🚩Navigation: City in the Sky Scenic Area
🌈We went on a two-day and one-night trip over the weekend🚗. On the first day, we relaxed in a homestay🛏; on the second day, we went out happily🎈. The name of the homestay is Xian'ao Lake Mountain Residence Autumn Dusk, which is a new and well-regarded homestay👍. The exterior and interior decorations, such as paintings, flower arrangements, and ornaments, are all very thoughtful❤. There are more than 60 rooms with unique features, such as family rooms, couple rooms, and suites. Each room is named after a poem, such as 'Like a Dream' and 'Longing', all of which sound very nice🎶. We stayed in 'Youth Travel', which has a private courtyard with a swimming pool, and the kids didn't want to go to sleep at all😴.
🚩Travel Tips:
🚗It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Wuhan, and the homestay is only a 5-minute drive from the City in the Sky, which is very convenient🤝.
🚡It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain🚠, as the beauty of Xian'ao Lake gradually unfolds before your eyes as you ascend, a truly breathtaking view😍!
🧗♂️After getting off the cable car, it takes about 20 minutes to climb to the top peak's Sky Mirror glass-bottomed viewing platform🧗.
📸Photo spots: Pink Beach🌸, Little Sky Mirror, Internet-famous Cloud Ladder, Bird's Nest🐤, Sky-reaching Buddha's Hand, Sky Mirror. You can take photos all the way, with a very high success rate, and the viewing effect is excellent🤳!
🛣The whole journey is on stairs, not too tiring, and there's no need to worry about bringing children👶. There are supply points on the mountain, so it's recommended to travel light🎒.
🚡The cable car closes at 5:20, so be mindful of the time⏰. You can choose to walk down the mountain, taking your time to enjoy the scenery, but it's said that the path is quite circuitous🚶!
🅿️Parking here is free, and there are many spots available. There are many restaurants and shops at the foot of the mountain, which is very convenient🥪. After seeing the City in the Sky from God's perspective, if you have time, you can also take a boat tour on Xian'ao Lake🚣.
This Sky Mirror glass-bottomed viewing platform is also a very romantic place💕,
it is located at an altitude of 520.1314 meters🗻,
and is currently the world's largest glass-bottomed viewing platform🤩.
This time, I finally mustered up the courage to walk around on it🚶,
the scenery is stunning, and I'm so happy😆!
🎉Already looking forward to the May Day holiday,
🗻to tiptoe to touch the sky, overlook the 1002 islands, and enjoy the wonderful time of vacation~

2h around Wuhan｜I found the prototype of 'Up'! The real-life Castle in the Sky!
I was amazed by the Xian Island Lake Scenic Area, the 'Bali Island' Hubei branch, during a weekend trip around Wuhan to celebrate my birthday!
✨Two-day and one-night travel guide around Wuhan:
Day1⃣️: Depart from Wuhan, arrive at Xian Island Lake Mountain House Autumn Dusk Homestay in 2h. All rooms are named after Ci Pai, showing Chinese aesthetics. It's great for taking photos in new Chinese style!
Day2⃣️: Castle in the Sky Scenic Area - Flower Sea. It's a 5-minute drive from Mountain House Autumn Dusk Homestay to Castle in the Sky Scenic Area.
📷Photography: Mainly concentrated around the 1314 steps, with a view at every step.
Photography installations: Letters from the Sky, Balloon Flying House, Pink Beach, Cliff Swing, Buddha's Hand, Cloud Ladder, Sky Scenery. They are all connected.
On a sunny day, you can take pictures of the densely packed islands shining, it's recommended to take long shots! The protection is very good, so you don't have to worry about acrophobia. The Lovers' Bridge when going down the mountain is also good for taking pictures.
❤️Route: Cableway-1314 steps-Postcard Installation-Balloon Flying House-Beach-Cliff Swing-Buddha's Hand-Bird's Nest-Castle in the Sky Viewing Platform-Lovers' Bridge-Cable
🎫Round-trip cableway 189 (non-mountaineering enthusiasts are recommended to choose the round-trip cableway)
✈️Travel Tips:
1⃣️The weather is very important, the photos are really good on sunny days
2⃣️Pay attention to sun protection! The top of the mountain is very close to the sky and beautiful, but the ultraviolet rays are also very strong
3⃣️The round-trip cableway is the same, you can return the same way after seeing the Sky Scenery (the journey is closer) or you can go towards the Lovers' Bridge without going back
