520 Couple Mountain
You can't miss this attraction when you're visiting Anqing, Anhui. This place is worth visiting especially for couples since it's a ❤️ themed scenic spot.
We went there on spring festival, not too crowded since it was raining. There is a cable car going to the peak of the mountain. We never thought that it's snowing at the top, so happy and excited! We didn't have the chance to play most of the things at the top cuz it's dangerous due to heavy snow.
Nevertheless, it was a great experience, I will definitely go back there and play on sunny days.
❄️Ticket: 210 - (entrance fee/cable/glass bridge)
❄️Restaurants - there are some snack shops
❄️Location - Luoling town, Yixiu District, Anqing

Worth The Stay!
What you see in the picture is what you get in person. It was the Chinese New Year, the stay was awesome up to the last day. The hotel is huge, rooms are spacious and clean. Staffs are so accommodating and helpful. You can order food online and there's this little guy ( picture 4th ) that sends food from the lobby straight to your room without delay. I was so amazed by it😂.
The surroundings are beautiful, you can choose to get a room with a garden view with more than 300rmb cost. Breakfast is good too, there are variety of food you can choose and they tasted nice.
The hotel is just 8km away from Anqing Railway station. So there won't be a problem if you're commuting.

Running along the Yangtze River
Just recently the banks of the Yangtze and many smaller rivers in the Anqing area have build up with beautiful bicycle and running paths. As you run along you will find temples, small islands to be accessed by boat and some very nice parks. interspersed you can find drink dispensing machine where you can hydrate yourself while running. there are also nice little pavilions where you can take a break before you continue on. All in all better than I expected. If you access the river bicycle path near Anqing Foreign Language school, you have about 10 kilometers to run towards the east. Ah yes lest I forget there are plenty of very clean WC’s along the river.

The Jiuqu River rafting with the reputation of the first drift of East China is 6 kilometers away from the main scenic spot of Tianzhu Mountain. The scenery here is beautiful, the waterfalls are connected, and the water is rushing. It is an ideal place for rafting. The whole journey is 2700 meters and the drop is 243 meters. It is called a water roller coaster. The trees are shaded by the coast, surrounded by 10,000 mu of bamboo sea, and the negative ion content is extremely high. For the crush, it is fun and cool here, because it is the only gorge jungle rafting in East China!
Due to the rapid flow of the Jiuqu River Before you drift, you must wear a life jacket, wear a helmet, and do not carry valuables such as mobile phones on board.
Sit on the kayak. At the beginning, everyone was full of smiles. When it came to the next drop, in addition to the screams and screams, from near to far, the mountain silence was instantly broken.
There are a lot of tourists coming to drift, some rivers need to wait a little before they can go forward, friends patted the chest and said, fortunately, they can slow down, otherwise they will fall into the river. There is also a new attraction near Tianhu Gorge. The newly developed high-altitude glass water slide is a key project recommended in the scenic area. It has a total length of 1,600 meters and a height drop of 107 meters. It is one of the few high-altitude glass waters in East China. One of the slides is known as "air drifting."
Tongcheng, Anhui Province, is a thousand-year-old city. This county-level city is small in size, but the cultural heritage is profound. Tongcheng Wenpai has been in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. The Liujiu Lane in the city has also become a famous attraction because of the spirit of tolerance and courtesy. The town of Kong, 12 km from the city, still has an 1800-year-old street.
Kongcheng Old Street is very clean. This scenic spot is now under development and operation by Zhongkun Group. It belongs to the same group as Hongcun in Huangshan, Anhui Province, but the number of tourists is very different, with tickets for 60 yuan.
This old street is still very distinctive. During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Meng of Wu State once built it here. In the Song Dynasty, Kongcheng has become one of the nine towns of Shuzhou, Huainan Road, and it was an important business in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Merchants and goods are gathered here.
Kongcheng Old Street is 2.2 kilometers long and is divided into ten groups along the way. The whole street is in the shape of S, running north and south, one main street, one horizontal street, the street width is about 4 meters, and there are seven lanes. Lanes, lanes, lanes are all paved with long strips of stone. During the reign of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, sent people to set up a bank in the old street of Kongcheng. It was mainly to facilitate the exchange of old merchants and people's money, so it was called Li Hongzhang.
However, there are very few tourists here, and many shops along the street have not opened the door. It feels that there are more merchants than tourists.
The third place.
Tanhuadi is located on Nanguan Mosque Street in Anqing City. In the fifth year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1727), Ma Day, the eighth-generation descendant of the Ma family in Anqing, used his high school martial arts to explore the flowers. The Emperor Yongzheng awarded him a gold plaque with the words "Testing the Flowers and the First Place" and hung it high in the mansion, hence the name. It is one of the former residences of prominent officials and officials among the Hui people in Anqing City.
Tanhuadi originated from the Ma family mansion in the early Ming Dynasty. Ma Yi, a descendant of Ma Hazhi, was promoted to the general army of Guangxi with military merit and eventually returned to Anqing. In order to unite the clan, when Ma Yi built the mosque, he transformed it into a public space with the functions of worship and dispute resolution. After Ma Dayong became the third grandson of the eighth generation of the Ma family, he hung the honorary plaque of "Tanhua and the first rank" on the door of the Muslim Dunyue Hall. Since then, the building has been honored as the third daughter of the Ma family, symbolizing the Ma family's success in Anqing. The prominent position in the south of the city.
After years of vicissitudes, Tanhuadi has two existing buildings, maintaining the ancient charm of the Ming Dynasty's brick-and-wood beam-lifting style. Among them, the second entrance is 6 meters high and 8 meters deep, showing the simplicity and elegance of the nine-purlined front and rear corridors; the third entrance is a two-story pavilion with a height of 6.6 meters and a depth of 8 meters, with an exquisite structure. The flags, drums and stone drums on both sides of the gate are plain without lines and have fine reliefs. The patterns of dragons playing with beads and auspicious clouds complement each other, showing the superb skills of stone carving. Not far away, the "Haijiang Pillar" stone monument commemorates Ma Dayong's achievements in protecting the family and the country. Together with Tanhuadi, it reflects the glory of the Ma family.

The city I liked the most during this year's travels was Anqing, it really has a relaxed vibe
Although I only stayed for half a day, it was really amazing.
Yingjiang Temple is so beautiful, it's incredibly photogenic. The entrance fee is 10 yuan, and it's 20 yuan to go up the tower. You must go up the tower, it's so photogenic up there, sitting on the tower and looking at the Yangtze River is very relaxing.
And the food is generally very delicious! Recommended shops: Dananmen Beef Bun Shop (I guess Zhichang Beef Bun should be even better, but we went late and didn't get to try it. Dananmen's beef buns and oil cakes are very delicious, the mung bean round soup is not as good as at home) Bianjing Fried Chicken (the toothpick meat is quite tasty, but the chicken pieces were cold, which was a bit disappointing) Taoji Beef Balls (the balls are very delicious, the fried noodles are extremely spicy, all three carbohydrate dishes we ordered were great) Next to Dage BBQ there's an iron plate (the small skewers are delicious, tender, different from home, with a strong cumin and chili powder flavor).

Zhenfeng Tower
Anqing | Yingjiang Temple | The First Tower of the Yangtze River Zhenfeng Tower Anqing City, An of Anhui, once the capital of Anhui Province, was once known as one of the 'Five Tigers of the Yangtze River'.
Yingjiang Temple is located in the southeast of Anqing, connecting Jiuhua Mountain in the north, facing Mount Lu in the south, bordering Tianzhu Mountain in the north, and facing the Yangtze River in the south. For hundreds of years, Yingjiang Temple has been prosperous with incense and has produced many famous monks.
The 'Zhenfeng Tower' in Yingjiang Temple was originally named 'Wanfo Tower', also known as 'Yingjiang Temple Tower', and was later renamed 'Zhenfeng', meaning 'to revitalize the literary style'. Because before the Ming Dynasty, Anqing had never produced a top scholar, and the literary style was declining. A master of astrology and feng shui believed that the surging waters of the Yangtze River in Anqing made it difficult for literary talent to take root, and a tower needed to be built to suppress it, so that the literary talent would not flow away. Although there is no scientific basis, interestingly, after the construction of Zhenfeng Tower, the literary style in Anqing did indeed flourish.

|Please keep this travel guide to Anqing. Just came back from Anqing, per capita one thousand, a group of four had a great time, Anqing will punish everyone who doesn't do their homework! Please keep this three-day and two-night travel guide!
Transportation: High-speed train➡️Anqing Station. After arriving in Anqing, to save time, we mainly chose taxis + Didi.
Accommodation: We chose the Kaiyuan Mingting Hotel for the hotel, the executive lake view room has a massage chair and bathtub. The hotel's breakfast is delicious, especially the Anqing fried noodles. Opposite is the Wuyue Plaza, which is very convenient for taxis and dining.
Travel guide as follows:
➡️Day 1 Daobai Lion Pedestrian Street
Depart from various places to Anqing Station, take a taxi to the hotel to rest. After resting, we went to Daobai Lion Pedestrian Street to stroll and eat. The night view of the pedestrian street is beautiful. We chose the Old Chengdu Mao Roast Duck inside to solve dinner, and a group of people enjoyed it very much. After eating, we browsed through various ten-yuan souvenir shops in the old street.
Day 2 Duxiu Garden + 6 yuan ferry + Linghu Park
dx Garden is far from the city center, and it cost 32 yuan to take a taxi there. After that, we also went to Yannian and Qiaonian's former residences, which are located in the alleys. They are still under renovation, and the announcement says they will not open to the public until September 30.
Next stop, cross-river ferry. Navigation + asking for directions, only to know that you can buy boat tickets at Pier No. 9, 3 yuan for a single trip. The ferry here cannot go on the deck, you can only stay in the cabin, and the air circulation is not very good. However, the scenery outside the window is stunning.
In the evening, we went to a local restaurant: Jiuxiang Xi Persimmon·Private Kitchen, located at No. 10 Houwei Wall Street, Yingjiang District. The decoration inside is exquisite, and the taste of Huizhou cuisine is also good.
After dinner, the four of us went to Linghu Park for a stroll. The park is quite large. We arrived quite late, and it was pitch black inside, and the bumper cars, merry-go-rounds, and cafes were all off work. The passing kittens were quite cute. Linghu Park is more recommended during the day! After finishing, the four of us had sore legs and went to He Yangsheng for a massage, and the service attitude of the technician was very good. Recommended!
Day 3 Yingjiang Temple (10 yuan) Zhenfeng Tower (20 yuan) Must go❗️
Yingjiang Temple shines against the backdrop of the blue sky. The Guanyin Temple in the side hall of the temple can draw lots and solve divination, which is said to be very effective. Drawing lots costs 20 per person, and you will also be given a consecrated Guanyin talisman.
You must spend 20 yuan to go up the Zhenfeng Tower! The stairs in the tower are very steep, and the wind is very strong, so be sure to pay attention to safety when going up and down the stairs. The archway at the top of the tower is a great spot for silhouette photography. The feeling of overlooking the Yangtze River Bridge from here is very shocking, with a sense of transcendence like 'the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes'. There are very few tourists on weekdays, and we don't have to queue for photos all the way.
After coming out of Yingjiang Temple, we went to Wuyue Plaza in the city for a meal of Haidilao + hand care. Finally, dragging our tired bodies, we each went back to our own homes and found our own mothers, ending this trip to Anqing.
Overall, Anqing is a famous historical and cultural city with many cultural attractions suitable for sightseeing. This trip was quite rushed, and it is a pity that many places have not had time to visit, and many famous snacks have not had time to eat, such as Anqing fried dumplings, Shanfen round cakes, etc. Will come again next time! By the way, climb Tianzhu Mountain!

Huangmei Opera, a quintessence of Chinese culture
Huangmei Opera, originally known as Huangmei Tune or Tea-picking Opera, originated in Huangmei, Hubei, and flourished in Anqing, Anhui. Along with Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Pingju, and Henan Opera, Huangmei Opera is known as one of the 'Five Great Opera Genres in China' and was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage by the State Council on May 20, 2006.
Yan Fengying, an outstanding Huangmei Opera artist, hailed from Anqing. She was the creator of the 'Seven Fairies' and a significant pioneer and contributor to the inheritance and development of Chinese Huangmei Opera. Her representative works include 'Picking Herbs', 'Spring Outing', 'Fairy Couple', 'The Princess's Consort', 'The Cowherd and the Weaving Maid', and 'The Couple Watching Lanterns'. We were fortunate to enjoy a magnificent performance of Huangmei Opera - 'The Princess's Consort' at the Huangmei Opera Art Center in Anqing. This was also the graduation play for students of Anqing Teachers College. Although all performers were students, their acting was in no way inferior.
Initially worried about the lengthy plot and slow pace, the story turned out to be very compact, with constant climaxes and dramatic tension. The two-hour-long story had minor twists every few minutes and major ones every few dozen minutes, immersing the audience in the ups and downs of the narrative, with each climax earning thunderous applause. The young actors' singing was mature and stable, emotionally rich, and their performances were delicate, vivid, and utterly captivating. They truly love what they do and perform with heart, making it their mission to inherit and promote Huangmei Opera!
Huangmei Opera has a deep-rooted fan base in Anqing. Besides square dancing, Huangmei Opera is almost universally known, with nearly everyone able to sing a segment. The new style of Huangmei Opera is particularly popular among the youth, making the art form no longer distant and exclusive. It has become a part of life, continuing to be passed down and developed within it.
The First Tower along the Thousands of Miles of the Yangtze River
The Zhenfeng Pagoda in Yingjiang Temple, located within Anqing's Yingjiang Temple, is known as the first tower along the thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, with a history of nearly 500 years. It is situated near the Yangtze River, originally named the Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas, also known as Yingjiang Temple Pagoda, and later named 'Zhenfeng', which means 'to invigorate the literary atmosphere'. It serves both as a Buddhist pagoda and was once an important landmark for navigation on the Yangtze River.
The geographical location of Zhenfeng Pagoda is excellent, with the rolling waters of the Yangtze River to the south and the crisscrossing old city district to the north, standing like the guardian deity of Anqing on the riverbank. The pagoda is nearly 61 meters tall, with a brick and stone structure, and an octagonal seven-tiered pavilion-style plan. The first layer is called 'Zhenxiong', the second 'Two Waters Divide', the third 'Three Reports of Light', the fourth 'All is Void', the fifth 'Wondrous Realms', the sixth 'Remnants of Six Dynasties', and the seventh 'Seven Levels of Stupa'. Inside the pagoda, there are cultural relics and ancient stones including steles, Buddha statues, murals, brick carvings, and stone carvings. The staircase inside the pagoda is very steep, spiraling around the pagoda as it ascends, with a narrow corridor on each level, and looking down from above can induce a strong sense of vertigo. Overlooking the river, thousands of sails pass by, with the Yangtze River bearing the historical changes and the rise and fall of this city's glory and shame.
Because of the Zhenfeng Pagoda, the city of Anqing has gained a bit more spirituality, becoming a geomantic treasure land of outstanding people and a blessed environment. The remnants of the ancient state of Wan can still be faintly discerned, where traditional culture and modern civilization collide, achieving an even more splendid and brilliant Anqing!
Strolling through the ancient city of Anqing at night
Anqing is the hometown of the poet Hai Zi, who once wrote a poem for Anqing, and it is the only one: A dawn of five years old, a horse of five years old, you sit facing the river, drifting everywhere, to the girl who knows nothing of the world, to the restless aunt in the center of Anqing city, asking about you, talking about you, it might be a sister, or it might be an elder sister, it might be a marriage connection, or it might be friendship. This poem is written on a wall in the ancient city of Anqing, countless people pass by and stop to read it, but how many can truly understand the poet's feelings at that time?
The ancient city of Anqing was founded during the Tang Dynasty and has gone through the changes of the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and other dynasties, forming a unique urban pattern. The streets within the ancient city crisscross, and the ancient architectural complex is well-preserved, such as the Anqing Prefecture and Anqing County Yamen, which are witnesses to Anqing's historical culture. Walking through the alleys of the ancient city, the mottled stone roads record Anqing's tortuous and rich legendary history. The century-old shops are lined up in close succession, and by simply walking into one, you can taste the unique flavors of Anqing's cuisine. The thick atmosphere of life in the ancient city and the faint taste of old-fashioned food make people linger and reluctant to leave.

Huang Zhen's Life Story Exhibition Hall (Image 16-18) is located in the Anqing City Revolutionary Relics Exhibition Hall, in the scenic Lianhu Park at the southeast corner of the Linghu Lake tourist area in Anqing city.
