Jingzhou
A center of Chu culture and a famous Three Kingdoms city, where the well-preserved Jingzhou city wall is the core attraction.
Jingzhou lies in south-central Hubei on the north bank of the middle Yangtze. It is the site of Jinan, the old capital of the Chu state, and an important setting for Three Kingdoms stories. The Jingzhou city wall is relatively well preserved, and you can walk or cycle around the top of it. The Jingzhou Museum is known for its Chu and Han relics and silk textiles, and sites such as the Guandi Temple are linked to Three Kingdoms culture. Local dishes such as fish cake are distinctive. Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit. The gateways are Jingzhou Shashi Airport and Jingzhou Station, and the Shanghai–Chongqing high-speed railway reaches Wuhan and Yichang.
