Xianning

Southern Hubei's land of hot springs and osmanthus, with Jiugong Mountain's summer retreat and the Red Cliff battlefield as signature sights.

Xianning lies in southeastern Hubei, bordering Hunan and Jiangxi, and is known as a land of hot springs and osmanthus. Jiugong Mountain in Tongshan is high in elevation and cool in summer, ideal for escaping the heat and hiking. In Chibi, the Three Kingdoms Red Cliff battlefield stands along the Yangtze, a place to reflect on history, and Yanglou Dong is an ancient brick-tea town. The hot spring resorts in the urban area are good for winter soaks. Spring and autumn flowers, winter hot springs and summer mountain trips each have their own pleasures. The Beijing–Guangzhou high-speed railway has Xianning North and Chibi North stations, quite close to Wuhan.
