Fantawild Theme-Park Day
The Happy World park that opened in April 2008 anchors a resort that grew into four parks and took the national 5A listing in 2016; the Dream Kingdom next door followed in December 2010, and the water park runs in summer.

Riverside & Jiuzi Water Town
A treaty port since 1876, the city keeps its old customs house on the river walk — downstream the 2000 road-and-rail bridge spans the Yangtze — and the rebuilt Jiuzi quarter, named for the city's ancient moniker, draws the evening.

Yashan Flower Sea & Stone Forest
South into Nanling county, roughly 60 kilometres out, the hillside park where peony beds open in April among weathered limestone — go in flower weeks or come for the rocks alone.
- wuhu yashan flower sea
Caishi Rock — a Ma'anshan Day
A neighbouring-city day, labelled as such — about 45 kilometres north in Ma'anshan, the river cliff counted among the Yangtze's three classic rock faces, steeped in the drowning legends around Li Bai.

Tianmen Twin Gates
Downstream of town, the facing cliffs the Tang poet Li Bai versed in his river crossing — east and west gates pinching the Yangtze into a funnel, best from a boat deck or the river bank.
- wuhu tianmen hill
Fanchang Kilns & Renzidong Cave
In Fanchang county, kilns that fired bluish-white porcelain from the Five Dynasties into the Northern Song, and the cave excavated in 1998 whose diggers dated its stone tools to around two million years back.

Slow Day on the River
A quiet riverside loop — customs house at opening light, teahouse afternoons and an evening stroll through the lit water town.

Walled Quarter & Departure
Morning in the restored walled-quarter streets, then the early-1900s consulate-and-church blocks on Yugeng hill, and an afternoon train or flight out.
