Wuhan Donghu Travel Notes

How can we not mention the East Lake in Wuhan after mentioning the West Lake in Hangzhou? In fact, Donghu Lake in Wuhan is still very beautiful, especially when the sun sets. It is a super beautiful scenery. I won't say too much about it, but the scenic spots are indeed good

I am a genuine 'lake girl', born and raised by the lake. I have spent more than ten years with Donghu, and in this fleeting time, I have witnessed each other's growth bit by bit with Donghu. To me, Donghu Lake should be beautiful, right

The beauty of Donghu Lake lies in its mountains. Moshan, which is famous throughout Wuhan and has a strong Chu literary style; The Yujia Mountain, which stands out without any artificial carving; The Nanwang Mountain, which embodies the unique characteristics of the Warring States period and has a respected military position. Every mountain has its unique charm, and every mountain serves as the most solid foundation for Donghu Lake. They stand there, no matter the wind or rain, still proudly telling people the beauty of Donghu Lake

I have been to Guilin, which is famous all over the world, and enjoyed the strange peaks and rocks there; I also climbed the top of Mount Huangshan Mountain to appreciate the magnificence of the small mountains; I have climbed Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot in Zhangjiajie to appreciate its exquisite workmanship, and also climbed Mount Lushan, which is known as "the most beautiful place in the world", to taste its beauty. The famous mountains and rivers in China are vast and boundless, and the mountains I have walked are countless. However, what lingers me the most is the mountains of Donghu Lake. The mountains of Donghu are not tall, with the highest being Yujia Mountain at an altitude of only 149.5 meters. The mountains of Donghu are not magnificent, without any smoke or strange peaks or rocks. Some are just wildflowers in the forest and stone benches by the roadside. Perhaps due to its proximity to higher education institutions, every time I walk into Donghu Lake, I always feel a modern cultural atmosphere mixed with ancient heritage that is tempting

The beauty of Donghu Lake lies in its water. The second largest urban lake in China, second only to Tangxun Lake, is divided into six major scenic areas: Tingtao, Moshan, Luoyan, Luohong, Chudi, and Baima. Every scenic spot is connected to a lake, a water with strong local sentiment

I have once visited the most beautiful water in China, the Li River, with clear blue waves that ripple with infinite charm. I have experienced the world-famous West Lake, riding on a wooden boat with Jiangnan tunes and wandering in the green lotus pond. I have been to the vast and boundless seaside, watching the most beautiful sunrise, and admiring the stirring and surging emotions. Water is a human spirit bred by nature, connecting every Rivers and Lakes. The water in Donghu lacks the grandeur of the sea, the surging of the river, and the five step one scenery and ten step one pavilion of West Lake. The water of Donghu Lake, without much artificial carving, is simple yet elegant and pleasant. Each piece of land has its own nostalgia

I like to climb up the not towering mountain peak in the morning and shout out all my displeasure to my heart's content; I like standing by the lake in the evening, watching the most beautiful sunset in the west, experiencing the pain of a heartbroken person at the ends of the earth; I like to sit alone by the endless lake, accompanied by a gentle breeze, lost in thought. All kinds of money, fame, and relationships are thrown into the bottom of the lake. I like to sit and watch the endless blue sky of Donghu Lake amidst the blooming and falling flowers; I enjoy watching the misty rain of Donghu Lake in the drizzling rain

Moshan in Donghu Lake is a place filled with Chu culture. Just over a hundred meters from the north gate, you can see an ancient and charming Chu city. Within a 200 meter long corridor, there are bluestone paving, red painted pillars, yellow walls and black tiles, and hanging attic houses with a dazzling array of Chu culture items. While dazzling, it also deepens people's understanding of Chu culture! There is a magnificent and majestic phoenix emblem in the city of Chu. Walking along the phoenix emblem towards the mountaintop, passing through 345 steps, you will see a layered platform and pavilions, a three tiered and even giant hall. This hall is located by the mountain and water, called the Chu Tian Tai. When you reach the front of the hall, you can hear the beautiful chime of the bell, the ancient sound and rhyme, especially the "General's Order", which makes people excited and surging. It seems that you can see thousands of soldiers fighting in blood, the general leisurely commanding, watching the soldiers fall one by one, the general became angry, fought hard to kill the enemy, and finally led the soldiers back triumphantly

The falling geese of Donghu Lake are a "paradise on earth" in Wuhan. The spring of falling geese is romantic, with flowers on the ground connected to the lake. This scenery should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world. Walking on that magpie bridge, I believe even the coldest heart will be melted in an instant! The summer of falling geese is refreshing. Walking into the winding corridor, the scorching sun instantly becomes gentle spots, making one unable to detect any heat. The autumn of falling geese is magnificent, sitting beside the withered grass that is taller than humans, what a unique scenery! The winter of the fallen geese is ethereal, standing on the 120 meter long cable-stayed bridge, gazing at the crystal clear lake surface, and the snow covered sky and earth! In addition to the unique scenery, there is also a group of cute little elves - squirrels - living in Luoyan. Entering Luoyan, you can see these cute little rascals all year round, either sitting or climbing, sometimes with sleepy eyes, and sometimes craving the food of pedestrians

White Horse in Donghu Lake, a scenic spot still under planning and development, has a 50 acre orange orchard in the park, allowing people living in the city to fully enjoy the fun of rural picking

The flute of Donghu Lake, the perfect place for leisure in the city, the scenery of mountains and rivers, the flat and boundless green grassland, hurried people always use their leisure time to stop here, barbecue, live music, boat tours, monkey watching...

The beauty of Donghu Lake lies in its authenticity, its purity*** After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he inspected Donghu Lake 44 times and was required to live by the lake every time. Zhu De also wrote the poem "East Lake is temporarily better than West Lake, and will be stronger than West Lake in the future" more than 50 years ago. Today's Donghu Lake has confirmed Comrade Zhu De's words. As people's pace of life accelerates, work pressure increases, and living conditions become more comfortable, they begin to value tourism and learn to relax in nature. More and more people travel thousands of miles to Wuhan to appreciate its unique features. I have talked about Greater Wuhan with others on many journeys. Whenever Wuhan is mentioned, people always say that the East Lake in Greater Wuhan is not worth the trip, and the scenery surpasses the iconic Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan

We hope that in the future construction, the beautiful name of Donghu Lake will not only spread within the province, but also throughout the country! I firmly believe that Donghu Lake in Wuhan is different every day
