One-Day Tour Pitfall Avoidance Guide for Three Gorges Family, Enjoy Easily Without Mistakes!

Choose the Right Transportation, Save Time and Worry

- Boat In and Out: Depart from Huangbaihe Wharf of Yichang Transportation Group by boat (one trip daily at 9:00 AM), return at 4:30 PM. Only one boat in the off-season with fixed time, plan ahead, suitable for friends who want to experience the river view.

- Car In and Out: Self-drive directly navigate to "Three Gorges Family," exchange paper tickets on the second floor, then take the park shuttle bus to Hujintan Ferry, and then take a boat to Dengyingge Wharf. More flexible.

Essential Tour Route, No Detours

Recommended route: Dengying Stone → Bawang Village → Bawang Palace → Longjin Creek
(Tips: It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain, 30 RMB per person one way, saving time and effort; walk down the mountain, you can overlook the entire Mingyue Bay, the scenery is stunning, every shot is a masterpiece!)

1. Dengying Stone
The stone on the mountaintop resembles a lamp shadow, a few minutes' walk after taking the cable car to the top. There is a best photo spot on site; find the right angle to capture the unique charm of the stone.

2. Bawang Village
Full of Tujia ethnic architectural style, rich performances all day (9:30 AM - 4:30 PM, one show every hour), folk customs display, intangible cultural heritage shadow puppetry, and mountain village style performances are staged alternately. Don't miss it!
There is an inconspicuous small shop in the village with surprisingly delicious food: grilled sausage, corn, pancakes, cold noodles, hot dry noodles, potatoes, etc. Highly recommend the potatoes and cold noodles, the taste is excellent!

3. Bawang Palace
Once the palace of the Ba people's leader, the architectural style is distinctive, but if you have been to the Nine-Entry Hall of Enshi Tusi City, it may seem a bit ordinary. You can arrange your stay time according to your interest.

4. Longjin Creek
The farthest but must-visit attraction, accessible by mountain road or walking along the river. There is a snack street and poetic corridor along the river, making it very pleasant to stroll, eat, and enjoy the scenery.
Highlights along the way: Taiji Cat Cave → Toad Spring → Poetic and Picturesque Corridor → Seven-Layer Bridge → Sweet Liquid Pavilion → Huanglong Waterfall → Monkey Mountain → Hanging Coffin Viewing Point → Wedding Building Performance → Waterwheel → Longxi Bridge Performance (Boatmen's Song), scenic spots at every step with special performances.

Return Tips, Say Goodbye to Backtracking

After visiting Longjin Creek, go directly to the nearby Dangyang Ferry Wharf to take the boat back. The boat will pass Dengyingge Wharf and finally return to Hujintan Wharf, traveling straight without detours.
