Qingjiang Gallery

Qingjiang River is the birthplace of the ancient Ba people and the mother river of the Tujia people. There is a poem that says: "The 300-li Qingjiang River is as beautiful as a painting, and the 300-li Changyang River is like a gallery." Qingjiang Gallery got its name from this.

The scenery is very beautiful, more beautiful than Xiling Gorge. The boat of Qingjiang Gallery is not as big as the Xiling Gorge cruise ship. The windows can be opened, which is more ventilated. There are narrow and long cabin passages on both sides, and there are decks in front and behind. It is more convenient to view the scenery than the Xiling Gorge cruise ship.

Qingjiang Gallery is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot, a national forest park, a national geological park, a national water conservancy scenic spot, one of the top ten emerging brands of national ethnic cultural tourism, and one of the first batch of national smart tourism scenic spots, including the three core scenic spots of Reflection Gorge, Xianren Village, and Wuluo Zhongli Mountain. There is an advertising slogan for the Qingjiang Gallery Scenic Spot: "The 800-mile Qingjiang River is as beautiful as a painting, and the 300-mile gallery is in Changyang". Qingjiang River has the majesty of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the clarity of the Lijiang River in Guilin, and the beauty of the West Lake in Hangzhou. There was once a poem praising it: In spring, the Qingjiang River is full of fragrance, in summer, the Qingjiang River is foggy, in autumn, the Qingjiang River is red like fire, and in winter, the Qingjiang River water is smoky.

Is the front photo scary? Are you envious of the back photo?

Haha, you need to make a good plan for traveling during a holiday like National Day. Be diligent and use the most commonly used communication app to find Qingjiang Gallery Self-Driving Tour. Plan ahead and you won’t regret it when you go.

Qingjiang River is a lyrical poem, a beautiful song, and a charming painting.

Qingjiang lacks the noise and glitz of a big city, but has more beautiful and charming scenery. It lacks the chimneys that symbolize industrial civilization, but has more of the comfort of the afternoon sun.

Like the vast misty waves of the Dai River, the winding paths leading to the high gorges and green forests, the Qingjiang River is known to have the majesty of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the clarity of the Lijiang River in Guilin, and the beauty of the West Lake in Hangzhou. Its scenery is infinite and unparalleled.

The boat is sailing on the blue waves, and people are swimming in a painting. The rolling green hills are competing to stand tall in a patchwork arrangement, with softness and strength, and strength and elegance.

Is Qingjiang River beautiful? Let's take a look at the pictures. The sparkling river and the rolling green mountains are like a quiet painting. I stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the dark green river water and listening to the sound of the boat's side stirring the river water. It was like I was in a dream and arrived at the core attraction Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, which is the birthplace of the Tujia Ba people. Standing on the mountain, I felt like I was overlooking the world. At the same time, I also learned more about Tujia culture and customs from Captain Liu's service. I also tasted local specialties on 1398. 6820 (the super service of Tianci Qingjiang Boatman is worth it (838丿 Travel and Recommendation

It is definitely worth a visit. The water is as clear as a mirror and the air is as pure as a painting. The surrounding mountains are steeper and more magnificent than those in Guilin. It is a real pleasure to stand on a moving cruise ship and feel the river breeze.

This is a great place. Since the scenery of Sanxia Renjia and Qingjiang Gallery is similar, I chose Qingjiang Gallery. The water in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is so clean. I had a meal of fish freshly caught from the river in the scenic area. It was so delicious! ! This is also said to be the origin of the Miao people. The whole scenic area is surrounded by mountains and waters. Sitting on the boat and watching the scenery is like an ink painting.

Qingjiang Gallery is a place suitable for people of all ages to travel and play. (①③⑨⑧) The most beautiful thing is the Qingjiang River. Qingjiang, formerly known as Yishui, was named Qingjiang because "the water is clear and bright for ten feet, and people see it as clear." Qingjiang originates from Qiyue Mountain in Lichuan City, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, (⑥⑧②零) and flows through seven counties and cities including Lichuan, Enshi, Xuanen, Jianshi, Badong, Changyang, and Yidu, and merges into the Yangtze River in Lucheng, Yidu. The basin is beautiful and beautiful, (838) known as the 800-mile Qingjiang Gallery. The water is clear and bright for ten feet, and the sand and stones are separated. The people of Shu saw it and named it Qingjiang. This history was told to us by the boatman. The captain explained the local culture, history, customs and people very well. It was also a very satisfying trip and worth recommending. It is really a mid-range trip among the green mountains and waters, and the Qingjiang landscape is first-class.

Take a bus from the bus station to Changyang, and then there is a scenic spot bus arranged according to the boat schedule to go directly there, but it takes time to wait for the bus. The scenic spot line A takes two hours to go back and forth by boat, and then climb the mountain. It is nice to take pictures at the top of the mountain. Qingjiang Gallery is well-deserved.

By tigress |

The scenery along the river is indeed nice, and the naturally formed Qingjiang Buddha is also very vivid. Wuluo Zhongli Mountain is just so-so and not worth climbing. What about the Reflection Gorge and Xianrenzhai attractions on the itinerary? As for the cruise, it's all routine. They give away small keychain photos for free, but in the end you have to pay 20 yuan to buy a large photo. If you don't buy it, the service staff won't leave. Fortunately, I didn't take a photo!!! The overall feeling is so-so. If you have to come, you might as well take Route B and take a boat to see the scenery along the river, which saves time, effort and money!

By Freelancer |

A must-see place in Hubei! If you don't go there, you haven't been to Hubei. The 800-mile Qingjiang River is as beautiful as a painting, and the 300-mile art gallery is in Changyang. I just went there this month, and here are some pictures.

By winterrain |

It is suitable to take a passenger ship on holidays to experience the local people's water transportation. Next time, go there again on weekdays, and experience the scenic spot's cruise when there are not many people.

Because I was delayed in going to Fangshan and arrived very late, Master Liu called me and asked me if I was in a hurry. He was waiting for me. I am really grateful. Fortunately, I listened to Master Liu's advice and went to Fangshan first, otherwise I would not be able to come down at night. The Qingjiang River in the evening is cool, artistic and beautiful.

Qingjiang Gallery is a painting of two sides of mountains and waters. It is quite nice to stay by the river for a night. Feeling the river breeze and opening the window, you can see a natural scenery. It is very comfortable.

By Alone with the wind |

There is a military base in front of the scenic area, and the basketball court has been turned into a parking lot. Although we were not the first group, we were also very early tourists.

After parking the car, I continued walking to the ticket gate, passing another parking lot (which was full)

Not long after entering the scenic area gate, you will find the cruise ship terminal. By the way, you must take a cruise ship to visit the Qingjiang Gallery Scenic Area, otherwise it is the same as not entering, so there is no need to worry about whether to buy a boat ticket or not.

However, of the three major scenic spots in Qingjiang Gallery, the cruise line A only goes to Zhongli Mountain and Xianrenzhai, while the B line only goes to Daoying Gorge. The B line does not have a boat until 2 pm. When we entered the scenic area early in the morning, the B line had already stopped, leaving only the A line.

The cruise ship is very large and can usually carry 400-500 people, so I am not too afraid of the tourists queuing. The cruise ship is divided into three floors, with indoor seats and outdoor deck platforms for viewing the river view.

The third floor is charged, 30 yuan per person. My companion rushed to buy tickets for the third floor private seats, but they were sold out.

So we took photos and watched the scenery on the deck, not wanting to squeeze into the cabin. But we didn't expect that the voyage would last an hour! In the end, we were freezing and had to go back indoors to keep warm.

After an hour's sailing, we finally arrived at the first stop of this voyage: "Wuluo Zhongli Mountain".

There is a square on the shore, with a very eye-catching "White Tiger Hall" on it. Opposite the White Tiger Hall is a steep step road on the mountain. All the tourists who got off the boat walked up the mountain under the guidance of the tour guide. I guess the scenery is up there?

We also lowered our heads and walked up.

Climb up this steep staircase to a platform. In front of the platform is a huge "shadow wall" with inscriptions and murals. On both sides of the platform are two symmetrical buildings: a bell tower and a drum tower.

It was almost noon, and the sun was out and it was not cold at all. The three of us sat on the platform seats on the top of the boat, enjoying the river view, drinking coffee and chatting. We sat there for about half an hour, and the boat took us to the next stop: "Xianrenzhai".

During the climb, you will pass by some scenic spots, such as the remains of the Cuban ruins: these remains are basically in disfigurement because they are so old.

Going further up, you will find the "Xianren Cave" and the gilded Buddha inside the cave. It was not until we got close to the Xianren Cave that we discovered that there was more than one Buddha inside, at least 3 or 4, in addition to Guanyin, Tathagata, etc., there was also a special "Salt Water Goddess" statue.

After finishing the tour of Xianrenzhai, I went down the mountain with other tourists and lined up to wait for the cruise ship.

Just a few minutes after boarding the cruise ship, the tourists were taken back to the pier at the entrance of the scenic spot and dispersed.

I can only say that this scenic spot is extremely unsuitable for holidays, there are too many people! ! The scenic area is too small to carry so many tourists. I left at 7:30, and the Yichang Bus Station departed at 8 o'clock. I arrived in Changyang at more than 9 o'clock. After exchanging tickets, I arrived at the scenic area at more than 10 o'clock. I queued for four hours and saw many people who came at 8 o'clock and boarded the boat with us. An old man fainted, and a bunch of people shouted to refund the tickets in unison! I didn't get on the boat until two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were no seats! I continued to stand. I sat down if there was a seat in the middle. It took more than an hour to get directly to Wuluo Zhongli Mountain. When I got off the boat, there was a person who looked like a staff member to guide the mountaineering to the left and the dining to the right! However, don't fall into the routine. It's just a restaurant soliciting customers. There are several restaurants behind. The mountain climbing was very fast. I came back to find a place to sit on the ground. The return line was so long that it was scary. I was ready to go back at about four o'clock in the afternoon. I queued for an hour before getting on the boat, and there were no seats again! At this time, everyone was tired and didn't go to see the scenery. There were even adults and children lying down and sleeping and occupying a row of chairs! After standing for an hour, we finally arrived at Xianrenzhai. It was already 6:30 and it was getting dark. Those who wanted to climb the mountain could get off the boat. Then they said there were no street lights on the mountain and there were fierce monkeys. As a result, everyone on the boat didn't move at all. Later, it turned out that there really were no street lights, not even one! It was pitch black and scary! We returned to the dock at around 7 o'clock, and the dock was also completely! No! Street! Lights! Not even one! ! ! The tickets that some people bought from Changyang to Yichang were no longer valid. Seeing that there were two boats of people going back to Yichang, the bus driver back to Changyang called and added another car to take us to Yichang. This day was very tiring and too much trouble. I felt that I would never come again. The important thing is not to waste money, but to finally take time out to play and end up spending time on such things. It's not worth it.

By Big belly cat |

Qingjiang Gallery, there are too few boats, and it is basically impossible to book a boat ticket during the peak tourist season. You can only rent a civilian boat.

By China-TravelNote users |

It is really worth a visit. The water is as clear as a mirror, the air is clear, and it looks like a painting. The surrounding mountains are steeper and more magnificent than those in Guilin. It is a real pleasure to stand on a moving cruise ship and feel the breeze blowing on the river. I went there on the fifth day of the National Day holiday. It is inevitable to queue up for the boat ride, but fortunately the flow is not slow. There are many scenic spots that require mountain climbing, so you need to prepare your physical strength. I personally think that the most beautiful view is on the viewing platform of Wudang Zhongli Mountain. The most beautiful part of the boat ride is in the Reflection Gorge.

By Jie Zi |

Qingjiang Gallery is a place worth visiting. It is not tiring to cruise on the Qingjiang River on a boat. The round trip plus the return trip takes about 5 hours. The return pier is Wuluo Zhongli Mountain. You can go ashore for 2 hours to eat and climb the mountain. The itinerary is well arranged. Qingjiang Gallery is very similar to Yangshuo! If you want to learn more about Ba culture, Qingjiang is the birthplace and you must come.

We went there yesterday. Because we trusted the advertisement of a certain bee too much, we drove to the tourist center. The person who chartered the boat said he would send us the location... (I had never seen bees say that the chartered boat was in another place before. In fact, it was on the other side of the river from the scenic area pier. It was still 16 kilometers of mountain roads from the tourist center, at least half an hour! It was like going back to Changyang County and taking another road!) (See Figure 1) It was so hot that we parked the car and walked to the pier under the scorching sun, but were told that we could only take Line B. The boats on Line A were gone. What the hell! Why did they trick us into running 16 miles here without a boat! In the end, we were asked to wait until 1:30 pm. I called the boat owner and he said he didn’t see us. Oh my god, my buddy has been waiting at the pier! In the end, we were arranged to take half of Line B, and they still charged us for the entire Line B.

To summarize: 1. I saw the Qingjiang Gallery bees on China-TravelNote before saying that you must charter a boat. I suspect it is the masterpiece of the local boat bosses; 2. If you have already arrived at the tourist center, don't bother anymore. Don't go if there are few people. It's not easy to share a boat! 3. The chartered boat is a small boat. For the Qingjiang River, which is one or two hundred meters deep, the safety factor is low. Relatively speaking, the large boats in the scenic area are more secure and more comfortable😌. 4. If you charter a boat to take Route A, you still have to buy another 100 yuan ticket to climb the mountain, so you don't save much money! 5. There is also the possibility of being "eaten" when chartering a boat; 6. There is no formal parking lot on the pier road of the chartered boat, and you may be stuck in it for a long time. 7. I arrived at the visitor center around 9:00 in the morning, and I had to wait until after 1:30 in the afternoon. It was only after I kept calling that they arranged half of Line B and charged me the full price of Line B (usually Line B is 100 yuan, Line A is 120 yuan per person); 8. The weather in August is too hot, and it would be more comfortable in the morning and evening; 9. The scenic spots on the chartered boat feel different from the regular dragon boats in the scenic area; 10. The scenery on the river in broad daylight is really average, not as beautiful as the riverside in the county in the morning (Figure 4).

There are too few boats and too many people. The waiting time is very long. The security maintenance order is not good, which leads to tourists getting heatstroke due to crowding. Worst review.

Qingjiang Gallery fascinates me. The colors in the photos are not enough, you can only experience it in person.

By Antelope Run |

Although I have seen many beautiful photos of Qingjiang Gallery when I was making the guide, I firmly believe that eyes are the most advanced camera, not to mention that a wider wide-angle lens is needed to appreciate it. On the day at Qingjiang Gallery, it rained in the morning and cleared up in the afternoon. The experience is that the scenery is hazy in the rain, which is suitable for appreciation. If you take pictures, you will vomit blood after retouching the photos with your mobile phone. Sunny days are very suitable for taking pictures, but sun protection is urgent. Qingjiang Gallery, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable.

In early June 2018, I made an appointment with a friend to drive from Xiangyang to Qingjiang Gallery. He insisted that I call him Nanjing Daniel Wu along the way...

We chartered a boat and went directly to the farmhouse. The next day, we were taken to the scenic spot. The hot weather affected our mood. However, as a college student traveling on a budget, this was my first time to have such a luxurious trip. Qingjiang Gallery was still very comfortable ~ beautiful ~ recommended ~

By Ringlamn |

Generally, the ticket is 100 yuan and the boat ticket is 50 yuan. You can just contact the boat for a tour. Don't waste your energy climbing the mountain. It will be very tiring. The food on Zhongwu Mountain is not very delicious. It is commercialized. The scenery is really beautiful.

You can take a scenic boat to view the scenery on both sides of the Qingjiang River. The scenery is quite beautiful.

When we went to Qingjiang Gallery, we didn't dock at Xianrenzhai because it was raining, but the scenery was pretty good!

As a fan of Wengweng, let me briefly talk about it. Taking advantage of the free highway in spring, I drove out to relax. We chose Route B. I know how many mountains I can climb by myself, haha! There were few people at the scenic spots during the Spring Festival, and I was in a good mood. Here are some simple photos of the scenery!!

Qingjiang River, a first-level tributary of the Yangtze River, was called Yishui in ancient times. It was named Qingjiang River because "the water is clear and bright, and people can see its clarity". Qingjiang River originates from Qiyue Mountain in Lichuan City, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, flows through seven counties and cities including Lichuan, Enshi, Xuanen, Jianshi, Badong, Changyang, and Yidu, and merges into the Yangtze River in Lucheng, Yidu.



Enshi Qingjiang Hudieya Scenic Area, from Fenshui River in Enshi City to Shuibuya in Badong County, is 87 kilometers long. It is the deepest, most beautiful and most pristine section of the 800-kilometer Qingjiang River. The five major features of the scenic area are the majestic canyon, the vertical stone screen, the magical murals, the elegant waterfalls and the Tujia customs. The scenic area has four distinct seasons: flowers in spring, waterfalls in summer, colorful leaves in autumn and fog and snow in winter.

Every time I go to a scenic spot, I will make enough strategies! Because of the parking lot! Scenic spot dynamics! If you don’t book restaurants and hotels in advance, you will waste a lot of time. I searched for the master who drives the boat in Qingjiang Gallery on the Internet! After consulting him about the travel route and funds, I contacted him on WeChat when I set off! I didn’t expect him to pick us up at the highway intersection! Double flashes led the way throughout the journey! Park the car properly! Enter the scenic area and board the boat as quickly as possible, without queuing throughout the journey! There is no extra detour outside the scenic area! Good sight into the scenic area! 360 degrees unobstructed throughout the journey! Bring us the most beautiful scenery of the scenic area! Stop and go throughout the journey! As you please! There are more attractions than the tour guide! One is a staff member, and the other is a local Lao Baixin who was born and raised there. Which one do you think is better? The master is very nice, telling us precautions and refusing hidden consumption! A trip to Line A took a full 7 hours! No rushing out throughout the journey! Then I stayed at the farm! I must recommend it to everyone with all my strength, and hope it will be helpful to everyone! Otherwise you will waste too much time and be at a loss in the scenic area!

The 800-li Qingjiang River is picturesque, and the 300-li Gallery is in Changyang. The natural scenery of the Qingjiang Gallery in Changyang, Yichang is OK, but other than that, the other developed scenic spots are not very good, and there are relatively few tourist experience projects. From getting on the boat to getting off the boat, you have to stay on the boat for a long time.

Oh my god, this is a bug. I have never written a review on China-TravelNote, but to be honest, this place is really, without any characteristics. There are a lot of landscapes like this in Guangxi and Guizhou, so you really don't need to come to Hubei to see it🙃

btw, have you ever experienced the feeling of a group of grandpas and aunts sitting on a cruise ship and making a lot of noise? It will ruin your interest in a minute. Then I charter a boat? Hahahaha, you charter a boat to visit the same attractions. It's so hot and sunny. I'm already doubting my life... What other attractions in China are not commercialized? I'm really going to cry. The hypocritical performances, no special features, forget it, I'm too demanding. Just take a look at the scenery here, here's a picture 666

By China-TravelNote users |

As an old traveler who has traveled all over the country, Qingjiang Landscape Gallery is the most embarrassing attraction I have ever visited. The scenery is as shown in the picture, which is the scenery of any reservoir. When I bought the ticket, it was 10:40 and the boat left at 11:00. None of the ticket sellers said that the ticket office was too far from the pier. There was no text reminder or explanation, and there was no battery car. I could only walk. As a result, I ran desperately in the 35-degree heat. It took me 20 minutes to get to the pier. I jumped on the boat at the last minute. I was exhausted when I ran on the boat. Then the scenery was just like that. I just climbed an island with nothing. Ticket price + boat fee, A line 158/person, B line 95/person. It is not recommended.

It was drizzling that day, with clouds and mist rising, making the scene even more beautiful.

Qingjiang Gallery Scenic Area is located in Changyang Tujia Autonomous County, Yichang City, Hubei Province. It mainly includes scenic spots such as Reflection Gorge, Xianren Village, Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, etc. The scenery is nice

Tourists basically come here with tour groups, because the price of group tours is more reasonable than that of independent tours. The three scenic spots on line A and the two scenic spots on line B are all connected by cruise ships, and the tour time is set according to the ship's schedule, so there is no difference between group tours and independent tours. Group tours are basically line A. Wuluo Zhongli Mountain on line A is the most beautiful, overlooking the Qingjiang Reservoir. But in short, I personally think the scenery here is average. The water is very clear and the green is like emerald, but the mountains here are not majestic or strange, and naturally they are not comparable to any of the Three Gorges, and the traces of artificiality are too obvious and rough. The Qingjiang Scenic Area in Enshi upstream is slightly better than here.

The scenery is beautiful in the wind and rain, so find a sunny day to go for a walk.

The scenery is nice. The Qingjiang Gallery Scenic Area is located in Changyang Tujia Autonomous County of Yichang. It focuses on creating three major scenic spots including Daoying Gorge, Xianren Village, and Wuluo Zhongli Mountain.

It is recommended that Yichang's scenic spots be taken in the form of a one-day tour, because there are no shopping stores, the whole journey is the same as a free tour, the price is cheaper and very convenient, and at best, eating group meals is voluntary. Some people say that Sanxia People's Home is better than Qingjiang Gallery. The scenery is a matter of opinion. I prefer Qingjiang Gallery. Sanxia People's Home is like a woman with powder, and Qingjiang Gallery is more like a woman close to nature. Each has its own merits. Along the way, the scenery on both sides of the river is picturesque, and the boat is stable, which is also pleasing to the eye. The second attraction is Zhongli Mountain. More than a thousand steps wind up at a 70-degree angle. I hesitated whether to go up. Later, I climbed up with the mood of turning back when I was tired. As a result, the higher I went, the more I found that the Qingjiang River was really beautiful from a high place, so I went all the way to the top. The beautiful Qingjiang River is in full view. At this time, I found that I should not hold the heart that I have come here, because there are always unexpected surprises waiting for you. The return trip is Xianrenzhai, which is also a different world. In short, I prefer Qingjiang Gallery...

Compared with the Three Gorges Family, which is also a 5A scenic spot, it is indeed much inferior. The main way to play in Qingjiang Gallery is boat tour + mountain climbing. Maybe due to the severe smog weather, low visibility, and the cold winter, I don’t think the boat tour scenery is that good; there are two main sections of mountain climbing. The first section, Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, is the birthplace of the Ba people. I personally feel that it is average. The second section, Xianrenzhai, is very good. There is a huge cave in the steep mountain. It is more convenient for a one-day tour with a tour group.

The water of Qingjiang River is clear and deep, like a piece of black jade; the green mountains on both sides are sandwiched, and the mountains and waters reflect each other; sailing on Qingjiang River is like being in a gallery, with scenery at every step. If you plan to sit and watch the scenery all the way, you can choose a window seat on the first floor of the cruise ship, but it will be stuffy and noisy; it is recommended to sit on the second floor by the window. When you have the energy, you can go to the second floor guardrail to watch the scenery and take pictures, which will be a good harvest. It is more appropriate to start the tour of Qingjiang Gallery in Yichang at 8 am, otherwise you will be in a hurry.

The scenery is pretty good. You have to go there on a sunny day. If you go there on a cloudy day, you really can't see anything.

By Stupid Little Good_Vi |

Qingjiang Gallery is divided into two routes, A and B. Route A takes 4-5 hours, while Route B only takes 2 hours. The main way to visit is by boat and mountain climbing. The scenery on both sides is still very beautiful. This time, I was short on time and I was with my 11-month-old child, so I had to give up the longer Route A. I will go to Route A next time if I have a chance😊

The most beautiful Qingjiang River, the most beautiful gallery. We drove there by ourselves. It was so exciting. I have never been so comfortable on a boat in my life. The scenery is great.

The scenery is OK, but the management of the scenic spot is generally a bit messy, unlike the AAAAAA-level scenic spot. The boats are not organized in order and the waiting time is a bit long. It may also be because there are many people during the National Day. I still hope that the scenic spot can improve its organization and management to provide convenience for tourists.

It was raining when we went there. The misty Qingjiang River was really beautiful and the water was very green, but I felt that the Tujia ethnic characteristics of Changyang were not well highlighted.

Qingjiang Gallery is located in Changyang County, Yichang City. There is no direct bus from Yichang City to the scenic spot. You can only go to Changyang County first and then transfer to the scenic spot. In order to save a lot of trouble, I decided to sign up for a one-day tour group at X, pick up people in Yichang City, and then go directly to the scenic spot. Each group is equipped with a tour guide. Friends who want to go to Qingjiang Gallery can really consider this method. The camera cannot record all the beauty encountered, nor can it record the most perfect look at that moment.

After entering the scenic area, walk for 5 minutes to reach the pier. There are 3 scenic spots in the scenic area, from near to far from the pier: Daoying Gorge, Xianren Village, Wuluo Zhongli Mountain;

The ticket price for Line A is 158 RMB, including 3 attractions and round-trip boat tickets. You can take a boat directly to the farthest Wuluo Zhongli Mountain and then go back;

The ticket price for Line B seems to be 100 yuan, including Daoying Gorge, Xianrenzhai (except Wuluo Zhongli Mountain) and round-trip boat tickets;



The departure time of Line A is 10:00, 11:00 and 13:00. The departure time from the entrance pier is fixed. The three scenic spots are scattered on various mountains. They all rely on cruise ships for ferrying. You need to listen carefully to the voice prompts of the tour guide on the boat. It is best to return to the boat at the specified time, especially for the last tourists;

If you are taking an early boat, you don't have to follow the strict rules. The boats are managed centrally and anyone docked at the pier can take one. If you miss the previous boat, you will have to wait and take the next one, which will take a little longer.

The tour lasts about 5 hours, departing from the pier at 1:00 and returning to the entrance of the scenic area at around 6:00 pm.

The cruise ship in the scenic area is pretty good.



It is beautiful, but we stayed on the boat for a long time and the scenery on both sides did not change much.

We drove from Wuhan for 4 hours to Qingjiang Gallery. We stayed at Xiazhou Holiday Hotel in Changyang County. It was very cost-effective and parking was convenient. There is a street across from the hotel for eating. We found a random one and it was a rip-off. The price was very high and the taste was average. So I suggest you look around.

We took the A route to Qingjiang Gallery. Because there were so many people, we bought tickets directly at the hotel front desk for 120 yuan per person. I heard that there are special private boats. Later, the hotel front desk said that the boatman usually tells tourists to charter a boat for 300 or 400 yuan, and does not need to pay for tickets separately. However, when we row to the middle of the river, they will ask for fees. If we don’t pay, they will not take us back. For safety reasons, we decisively chose the hotel front desk, which is the A route listed on Ctrip.

The scenery was really good after getting on the boat. After paddling for about an hour, we got off the boat and arrived at Wuluo Zhongli Mountain. You can climb the mountain or not. Although the mountain is not high, it is still very tiring to climb. After playing for two hours, we went to the other two attractions. After climbing the mountain, we did not get off the boat. We did not have the energy to go to the other two attractions and rested directly on the boat.

It's really nice. The river is clear and the scenery along the coast is beautiful. You can also climb mountains to exercise.

By Jonny |

The tour organized by the company, the locals are quite friendly and it is worth a visit.

By Jessie |

The main thing is to take a boat to enjoy the scenery, with the breeze blowing on your face. It is very pleasant to tour the world of green mountains and clear waters. I personally think that the road to the scenic spot is very beautiful. Of course, driving around the mountains is also a kind of fun and excitement~

The location of the Qingjiang Gallery Visitor Center is a bit remote, and the navigation can't find it. The parking lot is on the mountain, which is too inconvenient and charges a fee. After 5 o'clock, no one was watching the car. The scenery is average. You can only see the good scenery when you climb to the top of the mountain. The reflection can't be seen. There are many new buildings in Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, and there is no artistic beauty. The time of ordinary cruise is too long. The yacht we took cost 1,200 yuan, but we couldn't go out of the warehouse to take pictures, which was a pity. We had lunch in the scenic area at noon. The price of Qingjiang fish was 138 per catty, which was expensive!

"The 800-li Qingjiang River is as beautiful as a painting, and the 300-li Qingjiang River is a picture gallery in Changyang." The Qingjiang River Gallery is well-deserved, with green mountains and clear water.

2016.04.30. It costs 17 yuan to get from Yichang Long-distance Bus Station to Changyang Bus Station, which takes about one hour. At Changyang Bus Station, I took a bus to the scenic spot. There were many people on the first day of May Day, so I took a taxi, which cost 35 yuan. It took about 15-20 minutes to get to the ticket office of the scenic spot, and I still need to walk a distance to get to the main entrance of the scenic spot.

Choose Route A. First, take a boat to Wuluo Zhongli Mountain. It takes nearly an hour to drive. At the beginning, everyone was very excited to take photos. The natural scenery along the way is still very good. Wuluo Zhongli Mountain is mainly about climbing stairs. When you are close to the top, the stone steps are quite steep and the place to stand is very narrow. The highest point can overlook the whole view of Qingjiang Gallery. Friends with physical strength can climb and see.

The second attraction is Xianrenzhai, which has plank road steps and is circular. You don’t have to go back any further, and the cruise ship picks you up at another pier, so tourists should choose carefully. Many people give up on this attraction after climbing Wulo Zhongli Mountain.

Both Reflection Gorge and the Big Buddha can be visited on a boat.

It takes at least 4-5 hours to visit Qingjiang Gallery. A passenger ship can accommodate 100 to 200 people. If you encounter peak hours, I waited for 40 minutes at Zhongli Mountain on the day I went there. You should try to go early.

The 800-li Qingjiang River is as beautiful as a painting, and the 300-li Qingjiang River Gallery is in Changyang. The Qingjiang River Gallery really lives up to its reputation! It is like an ink painting. There are also beautiful Tujia girls singing folk songs on the way, which is very beautiful.

The clear river is picturesque, the clear water is like cotton, the painting is intoxicating, the cotton is warming

By Sarah |

This is what is called a picturesque scenery. Even without good photography skills, it is still beautiful.

By Carp |

It is indeed a place worth visiting. The weather is good when coming from the Three Gorges. Lazily basking in the sun gives people a feeling of entering nature.

By evening summer |

The Baili Qingjiang Gallery is pretty good. You can go boating on the Qingjiang River, where you can see green everywhere and the water is very clear, especially in the early morning when the mist is curling. It is a good place to escape the summer heat.

The 800-li Qingjiang River is as beautiful as a painting and lives up to its reputation.

The river flows beyond the sky and earth, and the mountains appear and disappear in the void.

Among the scenic spots on Line A, Wuluo Zhongli Mountain is particularly beautiful. The whole view of Qingjiang River from the top of the mountain is like a painting on earth.

Qingjiang Gallery is well-deserved, the scenery is beautiful, there are not many tourists, it is worth a visit

The Reflection Gorge scenic spot in the Qingjiang Gallery is the first major scenic spot when entering the Qingjiang Gallery Scenic Area. It is located on the north side of the Geheyan Dam. The gorge is 5 kilometers long, with quiet water and secluded valleys, steep peaks, and paintings everywhere. It is famous for its reflection scenery of "fish swimming on branches and birds staying in water". The rock groups on both sides form a unique natural rock landscape. The mountains are lush with trees, swaying tree shadows, gurgling springs, and waves. It is a natural and simple place that integrates mountains, water, gorges, caves, and trees. Its landscape is the Qingjiang Big Buddha Mountain, a natural Maitreya Buddha, 278 meters high and 144 meters wide at the bottom, twice as large as the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan, and can be called the largest in Asia. There are also Peacock Spreading Screen Mountain, which are lifelike in shape and magnificent. The Reflection Gorge can be said to be the finishing touch of the Qingjiang Gallery!

The 800-li Qingjiang River is as beautiful as a painting, and the 300-li Gallery is in Changyang. The Changyang Qingjiang Gallery is not only beautiful, but also has mountains and water on both sides, which tells the beauty of green mountains and clear waters and the wisdom of the Tujia people and the ancient Ba people. The night view of Changyang is also good. Although it is a small county town, it is very quiet. If you have time, you can stay for a while. And it is very close to the Three Gorges Dam. More than 100 kilometers to the west is Enshi, which has many beautiful stories and scenery of the Tujia people. It is a beautiful place. And the tourist facilities there are complete, the people are handsome and the scenery is beautiful, and there is almost no commercial atmosphere.
