It was learned from the Yiling DistrictCultureand TourismBureau on May 20 that the Songjiazui-Bailihuang Love-themed Road has become a go-to destination and attracted a great many tourists in the past week.

　　The Songjiazui-Bailihuang Road starts from Songjiazui Village of Longquan Township in Yiling District and ends at the hawthorn tree in Bailihuang Scenic Area, where a famous Zhang Yimou film, Under the Hawthorn Treeshot. As the first love-themed internet-famous road in Yichang, it consists of four sections, including “Chu Jian” (Encounter), “Xiang Lian” (Date), “Re Lian” (Inseparable) and “Qing Ding” (Engagement), as the plots of the love story of “Under the Hawthorn Tree” go. Besides, it is also the only passage to the south of the pilot zone of the rural revitalization around Bailihuang, as well as an important part of “Beautiful Roads Construction Project” in Yichang City.

　　The tree-lined avenue in Leijiafan is like a mysterious passage to the forest castle, along which there are many self-driving visitors stopping to capture the beautiful scenery with their cameras at the first section— “Chu Jian” (Encounter), which is connected with the next stop,“Xiang Lian” (Date), by a beautiful section full of orange flowers and green trees, the 13.14-kilometer length and 520-meter altitude of which are taken as homophonic symbols of forever love in Chinese. What brings greater thrills and spills is the section of“Re Lian” (Inseparable), where it is safe enough for sports-loving self-driving visitors to experience the “Fast & Furious” in the real world. Along the road, it winds up to the hawthorn tree in Bailihuang Scenic Area where the section of “Qing Ding” (Engagement) is located. As a “witness” of true love between the hero and the heroine in the film, it has been made a set-jetting, attracting a lot of visitors to experience the “pure love journey”.
