Thanksgiving

That moment when your hiking 🥾 trip has turned out to be a cloudy one, but there comes one moment when the sunshines so bright and you can see everything so clearly; such a dopamine effect isn't it ?! I too had the same. After I've already booked the hotel and train 🚂 tickets, through trip.com to go to Huangshan with all my hiking gears ⚙️ in place the day isn't really pleasant. Thankfully, I chose the right hotel because of nice comments from trip.com to Baiyun hotel🛍️. My two complete days of hiking involved not only sightseeing, but also interacting with lot of people, sign 🪧 boards and maps. To be honest, after a long time I did a solo tour like this and I feel so lucky for the convenience of booking, arrangement and especially the remainder about things to do in Trip.com🥸. Totally a nice one, and I had a good trip at Huangshan. #tripcom #summervacation#hikingtrails

March / April are the best times to see the bright yellow fields of rapeseed flowers surrounding villages in Anhui - and Lucun is one of those villages you can explore to enjoy an escape into nature. From Shanghai, you can take a high speed train to Huangshan North Train Station, which is only around 2.5-3 hours. Then, to reach Lucun Village, you can either take a bus from Huangshan North or hire a driver for the day. We decided to hire a driver for a day, at 350 RMB per day, to take us around a number of villages in the area. Lucun is located near Hongcun Village, so you could easily schedule in a visit to at least two or three villages in one day if you’re pressed for time. Lucun is one of the smaller villages, charming and tranquil, and is said to be around 1,000 years old. while strolling through, we saw locals simply getting about their day prepping meals, washing clothes or heading out into the fields to work. The surrounding areas was beautiful - with bright yellow fields surrounding the immediate area around the village, and huge rolling hills in the distance. 📍Lucun Village, Anhui Province, China Ticket Price: 50 RMB #unforgettableexperiences#historicculture#loveflowers#urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel

Discovering Southern Anhui: Beyond Huangshan and Hongcun ✨

#AnhuiTravel #SouthernCharm When it comes to Anhui, many people only know about Huangshan and Hongcun. In fact, the charm of southern Anhui is more than that. The region boasts white walls and daiwa, reminiscent of the Wizard of Oz, and the ancient city of Huizhou with a long history. Qiyun Mountain adds to the allure, offering a life of infatuation and a dreamy escape into the beauty of Huizhou. 👁️ Anhui's May Day tourism strategy recommends taking a high-speed rail to Huangshan North station, where taxis and self-driving options make visiting attractions very convenient. 1️⃣ Hongcun is often compared to Kan, a quiet gem that surpasses the former in tranquility. Every summer, a flock of big white geese play in the lotus flowers, creating a scene that feels almost unreal. 2️⃣ Xixi in southern Anhui is like a local version of the "Wizard of Oz." Walking along the tree-lined stone piers and wooden plank roads feels like stepping into a forest fairyland. The beauty of the forest here is so captivating that it naturally slows down your pace. 3️⃣ Huizhou Ancient City is known for its white walls and black tiles, ancestral halls, and cultural heritage. It has been praised by "National Geographic" as one of China's most charming ancient cities. The entrance guarded by Xu Guozhu adds to its solemnity. 4️⃣ Yangchan Tulou, a thousand-year-old village hidden in the mountains, amazed me. The khaki-colored houses built on the mountainside, layered and bathed in sunlight, evoke a sense of childhood warmth. 5️⃣ Qiyun Mountain offers a hiking experience that rivals Huangshan but is more cost-effective and suitable for beginners. With ancient cliff villages, steep hiking trails, Danxia landforms, and Moyan stone carvings, the mountain has much to offer. When it comes to food in Anhui, don't miss the smelly mandarin fish 🐟, Huizhou hairy tofu, steamed alectoris, Huangshan sesame seed cake, Huainan beef soup, and more.

Regret only comes when you realize Anhui is a severely underrated place

This year, for a festive atmosphere that really feels like the holiday season, Anhui is definitely on the list. Let me recommend an off-the-beaten-path beauty spot that's great for photos, Qi Yun Mountain~ During the Spring Festival period all the way to the Lantern Festival, there are also festival-limited activities, such as iron flower performances, fireworks shows, the Hengjiang dance of the golden dragon, fish lantern garden parties, and so on~ 📌: Qi Yun Mountain, Xiuning, Anhui 🚌: After getting off at Huangshan Station, it's a 30-minute taxi ride ⚠️Spring Festival limited-time benefits: From February 1-25, tourists with the zodiac signs 'Dragon, Dog, Rabbit, Ox', upon presenting their ID card, can enjoy free admission to Qi Yun Mountain scenic area❗️ From now until February 16, Huangshan returnees, upon presenting their return high-speed train ticket + Huangshan city ID card, can also enjoy free admission to Qi Yun Mountain❗️ Recommended two-day, one-night itinerary D1: Arrive at Qi Yun Mountain — Qi Yun Town (National style concert, peddler parade, five blessings for the new year, town market) — Night view (fish lanterns, dance of the golden dragon, fireworks show) D2: Take the cable car up the mountain — Hiking (from Yuehua cable car to Xianlou Dream Bridge to Shouzi Rock to Yuehua Street to Taisu Palace — Xiaohu Sky to Yuxu Palace to Ziyun Pass to Wulao Peak to Fangla Fort to Danxia Corridor — to the highest peak and then down the mountain), the whole journey takes about 4 hours, prepare some snacks and water~ Must-visit spots ✅Yuxu Palace, the famous red Taoist temple you've seen online ✅Fangla Fort, a staircase that shoots straight up the cliff, offering a panoramic view of Qi Yun Mountain ✅Yuehua Street, a Huizhou-style village on the cliff, full of life and atmosphere ✅Danxia Corridor, Danxia landform, where you can take photos like in a Western blockbuster Accommodation🏨: I stayed at the Xiangfu Rui Resort Hotel, just a few steps from Qi Yun Town and only a 50-meter walk from the cable car

Surrounding Hefei | A 3-year-old child unlocks their first mountain, friendly for the elderly and children

I swear this is the most interesting mountain I have ever climbed. ⛰ Last week, I took my little one and grandma to climb a mountain. I heard that this mountain is very friendly to the elderly and children, and it is very interesting. So I made arrangements immediately! ❗️ We set out from Hefei in the morning with the little one and grandma, and it took about 2.5 hours to reach Mingtang Mountain. The self-drive scenery along the way was beautiful. It had rained the day before, and the fog was heavy. As we ascended, there was a feeling of walking in the clouds. Recommended route for the elderly and children that doesn't involve much climbing ⭕️ Going up the mountain ⛰ Scenic shuttle 🚍 - Cable car 🚡 - Magic carpet After entering the scenic area, a scenic shuttle takes you to the foot of the mountain. You need to climb for about 10 minutes to reach the cable car 🚡, then switch to the magic carpet, which takes you directly to the 1400m high-altitude sightseeing area. You can visit attractions such as the thrilling steps, high-altitude glass bridge, high-altitude glass walkway, Green Pine Ridge, Moon Rock, high-altitude swing, etc. ⭕️ Going down the mountain ⛰ Glass dry slide - Cable car 🚡 - Rafting - Scenic shuttle You can play while descending the mountain. The dry slide is really fun. The scenic area provides pants, shoe covers, and gloves. Once geared up, you can slide down the mountain through the glass passage, just like a slide. It's really fun, and the little one was so excited, wanting to do it again. Rafting replaces the 10-minute walk down the mountain after coming down by cable car 🚡. The rafting takes about 3 minutes and takes you directly to the scenic shuttle. It's really suitable for bringing kids; I thought the little one would be scared, but she said it was so much fun after coming down. ✅ The whole trip took about more than 5 hours. This trip gave me a new understanding of my little one and my mother. Before coming, I was mentally prepared that they might be too scared to walk on the glass walkway, suspension bridge, etc... It turns out I was really overthinking it! ❗️ They were much braver than me. My mother even dared to take the high-altitude cableway, and the little one could even run on the glass walkway. The little one walked the whole way by herself, without crying or fussing, and was in a very good mood. She asked questions and learned along the way, excited from start to finish. Passers-by all praised her for being amazing. After coming down the mountain ⛰, we ate at a local farmhouse restaurant, which tasted very good, and we were stuffed with an average cost of 50 per person. ⛰ Mingtang Mountain 📍 Yuexi County, Anqing City, Anhui Province It's about a 2.5-hour drive from Hefei, Wuhan, etc. You can drive there and back in one day. The scenic area has a free parking lot, which is very convenient for parking~ ❤️ TIPS: ✅ Although there's not much need for climbing, you should still prepare a pair of comfortable shoes 👟. ✅ It's a bit chilly at the top of the mountain, so you can bring a jacket. ✅ Bring bread and fruit, and make sure to bring enough water.

Good time in Anhui

Visited this little paper factory town for my school field trip. It was a great learning experience.

Anhui's Tianzhu Mountain (as magnificent as a palace atop the clouds)

Tianzhu Mountain is known for its unique geomorphology, characterized by granite collapse landforms, encompassing nearly all types of granite geomorphic landscapes. The main peak, Tianzhu Peak, rises 1489.8 meters above sea level and is the highest peak of Tianzhu Mountain. Ancient people said, 'After visiting the Five Great Mountains, one need not visit other mountains; after visiting Huangshan, one need not visit other peaks; but after visiting Tianzhu, one need not visit other summits,' hence it is acclaimed as 'a pillar holding up the sky.' Within Tianzhu Mountain, there are forty-two named peaks, eighty-four unnamed peaks, eighteen ridges, fifty-three caves, sixteen rocks, seventeen cliffs, seven passes, eight pools, three rivers, two streams, forty-eight forts, and many other places of historic interest and scenic beauty. The mountain is divided into nine main scenic areas: Meicheng District, Gukou District, Jiujing District, Mazu District, Liangyao District, Xiguan District, Tianzhu District, Feilai District, and Yujing District. Major attractions include Tianzhu Peak, One-Line-Sky, Feilai Peak, and numerous cultural relics, including thirteen sites that are national key cultural relics protection units and provincial key cultural relics protection units. There are also many cliff inscriptions left by literary figures such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, and Wang Anshi. In 1982, Tianzhu Mountain became one of the first national key scenic spots. In 2005, it became a national geological park, and in 2011, it joined the Global Geoparks Network and was rated as a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction.

I thought Hongcun was already beautiful until I went there

Don't want to go to work? Just stay here for a week! This is the most surprising place I've visited this year! Compared to Hongcun and Wuyuan, I love this little mountain town even more🌳 Among the 'Twelve Scenic Spots of Southern Yangtze', Jiubao Hot Spring, and Yongquan Town, each one is a delightful surprise!

Each room comes with a private hot spring♨️ I took a dip as soon as I got to the room! It's just too good! 2️⃣ Don't miss out on the breakfast the next day, it's full of various flavors from the Jiangnan region and very rich～ After breakfast, head to the 'Twelve Scenic Spots of Southern Yangtze' (about 2 hours of touring). It's really beautiful! Truly a scene at every step, I kept taking photos with my friends all along the way. 3️⃣ At noon, visit the town's market to eat and stroll! Here you use copper coins to exchange for snacks, which is really interesting! 4️⃣ In the afternoon, you can go to the hot springs, which are incredibly comfortable! Your whole body feels smooth after soaking. 5️⃣ Don't miss the bonfire party in the evening! Everyone holding hands and dancing together is really joyful～ 🙆🏻‍♂️For a busy life, coming here to relax couldn't be more appropriate. The season when the azaleas bloom is coming soon!

Bishan Ancient Village I An obscure ancient town in Anhui, yet so tranquil that it makes one want to stay

A spring rain is as precious as oil, and in the drizzling rain of spring, Anhui turns into a misty painting. The ancient village also gains its charm, known as the ink painting-like Hongcun, which attracts many visitors every year. The paintings by artists who come to sketch are the embodiment of beauty and romance. This is Bishan Ancient Village. 🎐 Six must-visit places in Bishan Village 1️⃣ Bishan Bookstore The Bishan Village branch of the avant-garde bookstore, called 'the most beautiful rural bookstore in China' by CCTV documentaries, is converted from a century-old ancestral hall in the village. From the second floor, you can overlook the entire Bishan Village and the distant Yunmen Pagoda. 2️⃣ Pigsty Bar & Hostel I knew about the Pigsty Bar & Hostel even before Bishan Village. It's a hostel opened by a couple of poets, and celebrities like Joe Hisaishi and Kenya Hara have stayed here. Originally the old oil factory of Bishan, the transformed hostel blends pastoral and retro designs from the sixties and seventies, instantly giving off the artistic and beautiful vibe of rural life. 3️⃣ Bishan Supply and Marketing Cooperative The original supply and marketing cooperative of Bishan Village, later renovated by architect Shen Run over two years. In collaboration with the Japanese d&department design store, it sells various creative products. In the backyard, there's also a store by the band Wu Tiao Ren, which is very interesting. 4️⃣ Village Entrance Grocery Right at the entrance of the village, you can sit under the tree at the grocery and enjoy a bowl of rice wine dumplings cooked by the owner's wife, very relaxing. 5️⃣ Yunmen Pagoda If there's a landmark building in Bishan Village, it has to be the Yunmen Pagoda in the fields, a solitary and dazzling Song-style five-story pagoda with more than two hundred years of history. 6️⃣ Dog Kennel Bar Said to be opened by the son of the Pigsty Bar owner, it's not a hostel but a real tea and bar place in the afternoon, also very artistic. If you haven't had enough, these five shops are also worth a visit: Cow Pen Coffee, Freedom Coffee & Tea, Han Gongzi Grocery, One Shop, A Seat on the Ground. 🚗 About Transportation Bishan Village is located in Yixian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. Take the high-speed train to 'Yixian East Station'. 🚌: There is a direct bus from the county town to Bishan Village, but the frequency is low, so it is recommended to take a taxi during the off-season.

Fangtang Taxodium Forest

Located in Fangtang Township, Ningguo City, Anhui Province, the over 2,000-acre Taxodium forest has entered the most beautiful season of the year. Clusters of redwoods and clear lake water complement each other, full of poetic and picturesque. Kayak and paddle board enthusiasts from the surrounding area have flocked to the lake, enjoying a leisurely and comfortable time. In recent years, Ningguo City has carried out road environment rectification and improvement work around self-driving scenic corridors such as the 'South Anhui-Tibet Line', promoting the rectification and beautification of the rural environment and scenery along the line, while innovatively developing various tourism service industries, bringing diversified tourism experiences to tourists.

Anhui's first village in the south of the Yangtze River, how amazing it is!

"A life of infatuation, no dream to Huizhou" Because of this poem, I came to ancient Huizhou Its essence is not in the ancient city, but in the ancient villages scattered in the mountains Hongcun, Xidi, Bishan And the "Chengkan" I went to today Yes, it's that "life without bumps" place It was highly praised by Zhu Xi as the first village in the south of the Yangtze River It is also the first stop of my trip to southern Anhui - 🗺Chengkan travel route Yongxing Lake - Sun Autumn Square - Lower House - Yan Wing Hall - Luo Chunfu House - Huanxiu Bridge - Luo Dongshu Ancestral Hall - 🚞How to get there: 1. There is a direct bus to Chengkan at the Tunxi Bus Terminal in Huangshan 2. The ancient villages in southern Anhui are scattered, so self-driving or chartering is the best choice 💳Ticket: 104 yuan ⏰Opening hours: 8.00-17.00 - 1. Chengkan has a history of 1800 years and was founded during the Three Kingdoms period 2. The Longxi River in the village is S-shaped, dividing the terrain into yin and yang sides, and there are eight mountains around the village, forming the natural Bagua layout of Chengkan Village 2. There is a peace ridge when you enter the village. After crossing this ridge, there will be no bumps in your life 3. There is a large lotus pond at the entrance of the village, which must be beautiful in summer. I will have the opportunity to go again in summer 4. There is a "Mr. Luo Dongshu Ancestral Hall" in the village, which is the first famous ancestral hall in the south of the Yangtze River. It was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It is magnificent and large in scale. There is a dragon hidden in the stone pillar and wood carving. It was a big taboo outside the royal family at that time, which shows the wealth and status of the Luo family at that time - Chengkan is worth visiting, and the photos are very good. The next stop of the trip to southern Anhui is Xixi South, an ancient secluded village in Huizhou, which is known as the Chinese version of The Wizard of Oz

Stop blaming Anhui Culture and Tourism, us outsiders will help promote it

The unique charm of Anhui can only be deeply felt by those who have truly been there. Without exaggeration, Anhui is one of the few places that I want to visit again after going once, it really has a strong appeal. Leaving Anhui feels like a breakup😭, I'm already looking forward to the next meeting. - ⛰️"Climb Huangshan, there are no mountains in the world, and the view is enough." In a so-called off-season of Huangshan tourism, without Lotus Peak, without Tiandu Peak, without West Sea Grand Canyon, I climbed Huangshan for the first time and finally understood why everyone says "After returning from the Five Mountains, don't look at the mountains, after returning from Huangshan, don't look at the mountains." The beauty of Huangshan is the vigorous pines growing in the stone cracks, the endless mountains and seas when looking far away, the ink and wash real scenes of people traveling in the painting, the lifelike monkey watching the sea, the strange peaks and rocks under the magic axe and god work. When people come to Huangshan, they know what a strange mountain is and what a pine is. - 📍"Green water and green tiles·Ink Hongcun" Green bricks and grey tiles horse head wall, Huizhou's ink painting town, Hongcun deserves its name. Hongcun backs the mountain and faces the water, a never-drying spring, two rivers encircling the left and right, lying in the shape of a cow under the mountain. Hongcun has a history of about 900 years and still well preserves hundreds of ancient residential groups with pink walls and green tiles. Walking in the old streets and alleys to appreciate the profound cultural heritage of Huizhou. Walk on the stone bridge where Li Mubai led the horse in South Lake, feel the beautiful scenery like ink painting; watch the red lanterns hanging in the ancient houses and the hanging corridors and flower windows in Moon Marsh, experience the tranquility of ancient Huizhou. - 📍"Ink Jiangnan·Huizhou Lucun" I saw the most beautiful sunrise in my life in Lucun. The morning mist has not yet dissipated, the cooking smoke is rising, and Lucun, like an ink painting, wakes up leisurely in the crisp crowing of chickens, showing the Eastern aesthetics to the fullest. The Zhicheng Hall in Lucun is known as the "First Floor of Huizhou Woodcarving", and the ingenious woodcarving skills, every detail can make people praise. Lucun does not have a strong commercial atmosphere, but retains a more original ancient village form. - 📍"Pillow Mountain and Surrounding Water·Xidi Ancient Village" People say "Hongcun sees the scenery, Xidi sees the architecture", Xidi Village is boat-shaped, all streets and alleys are paved with Yixian green stone, rows of houses, like the cabins of a big boat; the archway and big tree at the head of the village are like masts and sails; nearby farmland and lake fields surround the village, like a big boat moored in the harbor. There are more than 300 existing Ming and Qing residences, these ancient residences are unique in style, beautiful in shape, a model of Huizhou architecture, and enjoy the reputation of "China's Ming and Qing Residential Museum". - 📍"Sketching Holy Land·Pingshan Village" Pingshan Village is much rougher than Hongcun. Most of the people who come here are sketching students. There are many small shops in the village dedicated to sketching, KTV, snack shops, etc., and there are also dedicated sketching bases. The first impression of Pingshan Village is simplicity and tranquility, not commercialized development, ancient villages plus more life-like sketching services, I really want to live here for a long time. - ＊Recently, Yixian County has launched a high-speed rail tour activity, including all scenic spots in Yixian County such as Hongcun, Xidi, etc., all free of admission, and you can also use the ticket to offset the accommodation on the same day. The next note will share a detailed two-day tour strategy, if you are interested, please follow it, your attention is my motivation to update
