Just 2 hours by high-speed rail from Wuhan! Hidden in Hubei lies a 21°C grassland—this is how summer should be spent~

Can't stand Wuhan's "steamer mode"? Escape to the high-altitude grasslands of Yichang's Bailihuang, where the 1,200-meter elevation acts as natural air conditioning. Sunny days are breezy, and evenings get so cool you'll need a jacket. After visiting last year, I couldn't resist returning this summer!

🌿 Must-do activities to fill your 24 hours

1. Frolic on alpine meadows
Hills covered in yellow wildflowers—pitch a tent and watch the clouds roll by. Post-rain clear skies might even treat you to a sea of clouds (scream-worthy luck!).

2. Encounter pasture cows and sheep
A newly discovered hidden gem! Watch cows graze lazily; snap a photo from afar and it’s like stepping into Xinjiang’s grasslands. Keep your distance and don’t disturb them~

3. Visit the "Under the Hawthorn Tree" filming location
The old hawthorn tree from the movie rustles in the wind—instant lead role in a pure romance drama (white dresses = perfect photo ops).

4. Pet deer + watch equestrian shows
Feed carrots to sika deer at the deer park (they’ll gently lick your palm!). The Yunzhong Equestrian Center’s performances are electrifying—Mongolia’s Naadam Festival vibes without leaving Hubei!

5. Nighttime revelry is a must
Every Friday and Saturday: bonfire parties + fireworks shows, featuring Mongolian dance, Sichuan face-changing, and DJ sets—nights here outshine the city’s hustle.

🚗 Getting there

🏡 Where to stay?

• Forest cabins: Newly opened standalone villas with viewing balconies—open the window to grasslands, privacy guaranteed.

• Hawthorn Tree Yunshang Hotel: Budget-friendly, steps from attractions, and their farmhouse-style Chinese restaurant is a must (warning: overeating likely).

💡 Pro tips
Strong UV during the day—glue hats and sunscreen to your skin! But shade spots are refreshing, and the temp drops at night—pack a light jacket.

This summer, ditch the heat complaints! Come to Bailihuang to tread meadows, chase clouds, and watch fireworks—who wouldn’t love 21°C bliss?
