🚄 Transportation Guide
Wuhan → Yichang East Station (2-hour high-speed train direct)

🏡 Accommodation Recommendation
"Nihao Hotel Starlight Tiandi Branch"
✔️ Free parking linked with the mall (remember to ask the front desk for a voucher!)
✔️ Although river view rooms are very popular, the standard rooms are also great value (much more spacious than Hanting 3.5.1!)
🌿 Day 1 Lazy Leisure Route
🍲 Quick Lunch: Old Fisherman Fish Hotpot
✔️ Prime location on the pedestrian street｜50+ RMB per person to eat until full｜After eating, grab a coffee nearby for a super cozy time

💡 Route Tips:
Route A = Full boat tour (suitable for elders/lazy travelers)
Route B = Boat + hiking combo (every step is a scenic masterpiece!)
📸 Tested Experience: At the end of February off-season, very few people, almost private! The healing scenery of mountains and water is amazing～ Recommended to spend 3.5 hours
🌃 Nightlife Proposal
🔥 Must-eat: Xiaoyutian Baked Potatoes (potato lovers rejoice!)
