Xiangyang

A thousand-year-old city on the Han River, whose signature sights are its city wall and moat and Gulongzhong, where Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion.

Xiangyang lies in northwestern Hubei on the middle Han River and is made up of Xiangcheng and Fancheng. It has been a strategic battleground since ancient times. The ancient city wall and broad moat are well preserved, Gulongzhong is said to be where Zhuge Liang farmed in seclusion, Mi Gong Temple commemorates the Northern Song calligrapher and painter Mi Fu, and the Tang City film base is also popular with visitors. Beef noodles are the local breakfast staple. Spring and autumn are the best times to travel. The gateways are Xiangyang Liuji Airport and Xiangyang East Station, where the Zhengzhou–Chongqing and Wuhan–Shiyan high-speed railways meet.
