Three Visitors Cave and Park
Â¥48
On a peninsula outside the city

The Cave contains some poetry engraved in stone, not very big though but has a nice little story to it. The surrounding park has a view of the Yangze River as well as some old military defense walls, Sino-Japanese war memorial stones, river viewing pavillion and some ancient city remains. The walk around the park has lots of steps and is pretty decent, good relaxing spot.

On the edge of the Xiling gorge, about 20km west of Yichang downtown, bus 10-1 will take you there in about 30 minutes

Has an amazing view of the river. The theme park style site features ancient Yangtze tracker's remind, a natural karst cave like an under-earth palace.
