Snake Hill

Getting its name from the snake-like fashion in which it marauds the The Yangtze River's south bank, Snake Hill, or Sheshan, lies opposite Gui Hill and completes a collection of land formations and developments which give the entire area of Wuhan City's Wuchang District its unique allure, coming in as one of the most popular tourist attractions in the whole region.

While the sheer beauty of the land formations which make up Snake Hill is enough of an attraction in itself, as has been proven by a number of celebrities that have come here for some sort of visually stimulated inspiration, if one seeks to take their experience of Snake Hill a notch up, there are a number of attractions contained on Snake Hill worth exploring, like the Yellow Crane Tower.

If fact, some tourists come to Snake Hill particularly for the Yellow Crane Tower experience, but the entire region as a whole offers many attractions and serves as an attraction itself.

Highlights

Exploring Snake Hill's Yellow Crane Tower, by going all the way up top the viewing spot, gives a view of the First Bridge of the Yangtze River like no other, in that the bridge seems to be growing right out of Snake Hill and over the river, so that is something worth checking out as a highlight of any Snake Hill visit.

Snake Hill offers a number of integrated resorts and vantage points to explore, some of which could qualify as attractions on their own, like White Cloud Tower, Shizhao Pavilion and Liuyan Pavilion, amongst many others, but one thing to always look out for is the apparent formation of the Yangtze River in relation to where it is viewed from on Snake Hill, as it can appear to look completely different at times, depicting its many personalities

Entrance Fees: 15 yuan

Snake Hill's admission fees come in two different dimensions, with the modest 20 Yuan option probably less preferred to the 80 Yuan option, since the 80 Yuan option integrates access to all the major tourist attractions on the hill that could qualify as stand-alone attractions, like the Yellow Crane Tower, so that would probably be the better option.

How to Get There

As far as transportation to Snake Hill goes, there is a plethora of choices, including three shuttle bus services, three regular passenger busses and two electric cars, which cater specifically to this area and are available throughout the day.

Opening Hours: 07:00 - 18:00
