The Yangtze River has given birth to a magnificent and vibrant civilization. Hubei Province hosts the longest stretch of the Yangtze and its ancient Jingchu culture stands as a representative of Yangtze River heritage. The waterway serves as a connector and lifeline, shaping the region’s identity through cycles of travel and exchange.
During the summer and autumn season, the significant event “Different Rivers, Same Heart - Tour of Jingchu” brought together six foreign bloggers from Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa, and Oceania. They followed the Yangtze’s lifeline through Jingchu to capture the evolving “Song of the Yangtze” and contribute to the “Symphony of Great Rivers,” celebrating global cultural exchange.
The bloggers started their journey in Qichun, Hubei—a town famed for its mugwort fragrance—proceeded to the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, traversed the ancient Jingzhou city walls, experienced Wudang Tai Chi, and enjoyed the Three Gorges scenery. Their exploration highlighted the rich and diverse Yangtze River culture across Hubei.
