Day 1: Statue of King Bawang Parting with His Concubine Yu → Gaixia Ancient Battlefield Ruins

Day 1 Itinerary Details Stand before the towering statue of King Xiang Yu bidding farewell to Consort Yu and feel the heart-wrenching sorrow of their fatal separation. Wander the ruins of Bawang City scattered with bricks and tiles from the Qin and Han dynasties; you might even stumble upon ancient relics underfoot.

Within the city ruins lie time-honored attractions that retain their profound charm despite a thousand years of wind and rain: an ancient Han well, the statue of Xiang Yu’s steed Wuzhui, Consort Yu’s Hair-Washing Pool, and an elm tree embracing a mulberry tree. Passing the Guyang City Ruins, Zhang Liang’s Flute-Playing Platform and ancient Han tombs will stir your imagination of the distant past. One full day is ample for you to travel through thousands of years of history in a single journey.
