Wuhan, don't just recognize the Yellow Crane Tower
When it comes to Wuhan tourism, one can think of the rich tourism resources here. The city has three national 5A-level scenic spots: the Yellow Crane Tower, East Lake and Mulan Cultural Tourism Zone. Especially the Yellow Crane Tower has been y rooted in people's hearts since the books of student days. So where are the most romantic spots in Wuhan?
Maybe someone will guess Wuhan University? After all, the cherry blossom season is popular all over the country. But actually it's not! Strictly speaking, the university can't be considered a scenic spot. What's more, universities give me more of an impression of youth. Although romance is also a part of youth, but after all, it is only a part. This time, when I came to Wuhan Flower Expo with my friends, I decided that this is the most romantic attraction in Wuhan, but it's not only romantic, but also rich in elements. Come on, let me arrange it for you in 48 hours!
: A practical guide
1. Wuhan Flower Expo is located at Tianxing Village 1, Caidian District, Wuhan. The best plan for foreign visitors is to take the subway from the airport or high-speed railway station to the Sports Center subway station, and then transfer to the 760 bus to Huayinhu Avenue Huabo station. Or take a taxi directly from the sports center subway station, about 30 yuan;
2. You need to do a good job of sunscreen when you go out in the summer. When it's hot, you can buy cold drinks at the store or milk tea store in the park to prevent heat stroke. You don't need to bring too much cash. Stores in scenic spots basically support mobile payment;
3. Tickets for Wuhan Flower Expo are 60 yuan per person, and discount tickets are 30 yuan per person. Go to Wuhan Flower Expo to enjoy the flowers, you can look ahead to the flowering period, choose the right clothing with. Hanfu, my sister chose, is very good. When we went, the park had nearly 300 acres of verbena flowers in full bloom.
4. The scenic area is large and when it is crowded, be careful not to get separated from your companions. Try to take a planned tour of the park. There are maps at the entrance and at the visitor center. You can watch the tour route here.
5;Because of the large size of the scenic area, there are also electric sightseeing buses that you can take, and you can stop at fixed stops along the way to make it easier to get around. In addition, parents with children can also choose to snail visit the small train, more popular with children. Tickets for the mini-train cost 40 yuan per person, 60 yuan for 1 big and 1 small, and 80 yuan for 2 big and 1 small.
DAY1, 10:00 Let's start from the purple flower sea
Wuhan Flower Expo listen to the name. Many people can imagine that it is a theme park for enjoying flowers, right? On the first day, we arrived at the scenic spot at 10:00 a.m. and many tourists were already there.
That's right, in June, the season of verbena blooming, the park nearly 300 acres of verbena is in full bloom, full of purple and romantic, as if people at a glance traveled to Provence, France. Most tourists come here for this reason.
There are a lot of tourists who come to Wuhan Flower Expo every day to take pictures, but I thought only young people liked it here. The crowds that didn't come in and out that day were pretty broad, not only the young ladies we clocked in hanboks, but also the square-dancing mothers who took pictures with colorful gauze. Equally indispensable is the figure of lovers, this extremely romantic scene how can lack of couples to take wedding photos.
Beyond the ladies, the amazons are always the most eye-catching. Usually, their clothes are bright and their shapes are full of imagination. Anyway, it's good to have fun. If I get another chance, I'd like to bring my parents to experience the shocking sea of flowers.
The Verbena flower sea is so large that some people even get a photographer to follow them. This photographer doesn't have to be too professional. He could be one's husband or a family member. While taking pictures, they also leave good memories for each other.
Also, a nice person with a baby alone was found under the tree, which was the best of the day. The baby's mom was taking pictures in the sea of flowers!
Unlike the long shot of DSLR cameras, most tourists prefer to take selfies with their cell phones, which will be easier and faster to post on social media platforms. Such a sea of flowers guarantees an endless number of likes, facing the camera they give the truest smile.
The sea of flowers is also the first choice for parent-child tours. It's perfect to take your kids close to nature using weekend vacations and the following summer vacations. For them, learning more about the world in their senses is more meaningful than looking at their cell phones and facing the ipad at home.
A pair of young men and women taking wedding photos is especially enviable. Looking at the scene below, I admit that I am a lemon! All of a sudden, people feel like traveling to the lavender sea of Provence. However, due to geographical differences, verbena is more appropriately grown in Wuhan than lavender. Anyway, they're both purple, so there shouldn't be much difference!
Romantic atmosphere, even the bees come to join in the fun. The hardworking little guys are always busy, bringing vitality to the whole kelp. Friendly reminder: there are a lot of bees in the sea of flowers, but they are very gentle and will not actively attack people. Be careful to avoid unintentionally hurting them when taking photos.
There are many ways to swim in the sea of flowers, and taking a helicopter ride should be the most special one. The helicopter in the scenic area is an extra paid program, charging from 2 to 300 yuan depending on the length of the route. If you just want to see the flowers, you only need 60 yuan for the entrance fee. In addition to the flowers, there are many other free recreational activities.
There are other recharging programs that are more suitable, such as cycling and swimming in the sea of flowers.
DAY1, 12:00 Getting to know the Wuhan flavor at Flower Scavenger Hall
Unconsciously, after two hours of photographing in the flower sea, it was time for dinner. Fortunately, there are many restaurants inside and outside the park. In our impression, when we visit scenic spots, the food in the neighborhood may be passable, either hard to eat or expensive, as if these merchants won't stop until they knock a fortune. Tourists usually have to go against the grain and eat, after all.
After a two-day trip, I experienced that each of the four restaurants at the Wuhan Flower Expo has its own specialties, which are not only tasty but also reasonably priced. Next I will start with the first flower stone soup, the other three later, so you can taste the food here!
Cai Hua Tang, the place to eat. Here you can eat authentic Wuhan-style home cooking. Perhaps these dishes can be found in most parts of the country. They are not the most amazing, but they are the most authentic and hungry food. A gourmet meal provides the park with plenty of energy.
The Flower Picking Hall is divided into two floors. The first floor is mainly stalls, suitable for four and under. The second floor has larger round tables, so 10 people can sit at a table without a problem. The reception is quite large.
DAY1, 14:00 Watching a special performance and enjoying afternoon tea by the sea of flowers
After dinner in Huashitang, we went to Su Qing in Wencha Village, where we stayed for the night, put our bags down and took a nap. Then at 14:00, I went to see a special show at the Yinzhi Theater in Chacha Village.
The number of performances here is not fixed every day, depending on the traffic flow will be announced in the scenic broadcast. Because it was a weekend, there were more performances, the audience was very enthusiastic, and the actors were especially hardworking.
The performances here are mostly songs and dances of Hubei local specialties, and it's free to watch the performances, but if you come late, you may not have a seat, *** there are upper and lower seats for the audience to choose from, and the wonderful songs and dances even the little ones are extraordinarily devoted to watching.
After watching the show was also the hottest time of the day, we did not rush to go shopping again, but to the scenic Royal Tea. This brand of milk tea believe that many partners are not unfamiliar, in many cities have franchises. It is excellent that you can drink such high quality milk tea when you are touring.
Seven cups of milk tea have been lined up, reminding me of the classic advertising campaigns "Make a Cup of Tea" and "Seven Cups of Tea" by Mr. Star and Mr. Feng Xiaogang. This is probably an age-exposing advertisement that many post-90s may not know, so search for it if you're interested.
The highlight of Royal Tea is not only the quality of milk tea, but also its environment, in addition to the indoor dining space on the square in front of the door, there is also a viewing space near the sea of flowers at the back of the price of a double enjoyment. Then with some snacks, blowing the breeze, to pass the afternoon the most lazy period of time, very cozy.
DAY1, 16:00 light the best time to take pictures in the park
I don't know the layout, the afternoon tea time came to 16:00, this time the light is much softer, it is a good time to take pictures, so we wandered around the center of the scenic area.
The large lawn in the center of the scenic area is very large, and there are many schools and teams that come here to organize activities. In the center of the lawn there is an artificial lake with a fountain. And the shape of the lake is all in the shape of a heart! The degree of romance can be seen in general, June may be a good day, even the goddess Lin Chi-ling has been rumored to be married, then I wish to come to the Flower Expo couples lovers end up in love it ~
Shopping is very strong and scenic area in the town of Floyd Flowers, that is, we eat where the restaurant is located, which is a colorful colorful buildings, especially good-looking. The creative design of the various stores is also very suitable for photographs, and there is no lack of some very bright elements.
Find your own scene in the town, you can surely take your favorite photos, and I can't help but hum Zhou Dong's song "Istanbul", "It's like a fairy tale, with churches and castles"
DAY1, 18:30 Dinner at an exquisite western restaurant
The first day of dinner is also in the scenic area dining, specially found an exquisite Western restaurant called Yuan Sen Tai. Because dinner is not easy to eat too much, each person here a meal just good. And after playing all day, the dining atmosphere here is more relaxed and comfortable.
The location of the restaurant is also very good, you can find a window seat, directly outside you can see the sea of verbena flowers, accompanied by the setting sun, more mood. Meals here can be ordered with pizza, pasta, steak and some snacks, drinks and even a glass of red wine.
We all chose a variety of different drinks and meals, each with its own characteristics, good flavor and portion size. It was a great time chatting and sipping drinks.
Additionally, there is a B&B in the second floor attic of Yuan Sentai that is open to the public, and there are not many rooms, so it's kind of quiet and no one will disturb you.
DAY1, 20:00 Tea and conversation in a Chinese villa
As mentioned earlier, the place to stay in the evening is the tea village in the scenic area, which is a group of Huizhou style buildings. We all know that the white walls and black tiles of the Huizhou style of architecture is very ornamental, especially in groups of a certain size. There are quite a few villas in the village, plus some stores and a big theater, etc., which are perfectly in line with this scale, and in a staggered manner.
The good looks of Huizhou-style architecture are not just about the scale, but also the aesthetics of the many details, which are very linear. As long as you are willing to pay attention to find, even a window, a light can have an unexpected good-looking composition.
The Ching Joo we stayed in was a double-story villa with four rooms, one of which was a suite upstairs, and the rest were standard rooms that could accommodate 8 to 10 people at a time. Each room is very spacious and even has its own bathroom with shower, bathtub and so on.
