Following the “Golden Week” holiday, the APEC Summit has given Beijing another “surprise break.” It’s reported that in response to the travel surge during the APEC holiday, Beijing Railway Bureau has launched special car transport trains heading in six directions for self-drive trips: “Free Travel to Zhejiang,” “Free Travel to Sichuan,” “Free Travel to Jiangxi,” “Free Travel to Hunan,” “Free Travel to Shaanxi,” and “Free Travel to Hubei.” So here comes the question: With this unexpected holiday falling from the sky, where do you plan to go and make the most of it? Haven’t decided yet? Then let us take you on a trip to Taiji Lake in Hubei, where you can experience a fun and unique water park and relax amid beautiful mountains and clear waters.

The Hubei self-drive car transport trains launched during APEC allow travelers more freedom in planning their journeys. After enjoying the stunning scenery and exciting water activities at Taiji Lake, you can also drive to the Taoist sacred Mount Wudang, known as the “No.1 Fairy Mountain under Heaven.” There’s also the Yellow Crane Tower, which Li Bai wrote about in his poem “Seeing Meng Haoran Off at Yellow Crane Tower to His Appointment in Yangzhou” — the tower faces the vast Yangtze River and is located south of the ancient city. And don’t miss Hubu Alley, hailed as the “No.1 Snack Street in Wuhan,” right by the Yellow Crane Tower. These numerous scenic spots and attractions will surely make your trip worthwhile.
Tired of the concrete jungle, the steel and cement, tired of smog-filled skies everywhere? The Save-Your-Breath Plan is now officially underway, and the countdown has begun. Embark on a journey to Taiji Lake and make the most of this surprise holiday.
