Yushan Lake in Ma'anshan, Anhui‖One of the must-visit attractions in Ma'anshan

Ma'anshan in a day|||A city I learned about on the radio during college, and today I finally visited it. It's only a 16-minute high-speed train ride from Nanjing South Station to Ma'anshan East Station. The construction is better than I imagined. I always thought Ma'anshan was a city with a low profile, similar to a large county town. But today's visit proved it worthy of the title of a prefecture-level city, with excellent infrastructure and greening. Let's talk about the trip. Starting from Ma'anshan East Station, take bus No. 4 and get off at the Cultural Palace stop, which is Yushan Lake Park. Maybe because it's a weekday, the bus was almost full of elderly people over 65, some with mobility issues, but still quite impressive. Is it possible that this city has a serious aging problem? Yushan Lake Park is a leisure park built by the lake in the city center, with lush vegetation. The amusement park inside is under maintenance, and many elderly people are relaxing here. Crossing the park, you can reach Dong Alley, a snack street, which is also a commercial center with cinemas and the like. Continue walking south for about two kilometers, and you'll arrive at the Cultural Square, where the library, grand theater, museum, and science and technology museum (youth activity center) are all closely located. The museum is a must-visit to understand a city, and the treasure of the museum is the bronze ware shown in the photo. Across from the museum, you'll find Wanda Plaza, another commercial complex. Taibai Gold Street is full of shops, and many local recommended delicacies are here. I had lunch here. Overall, Ma'anshan's city card should be Li Bai and the Yangtze River, with the most famous attraction being Caishiji, a 5A scenic spot and the foremost of the three great rocks. You can take bus No. 118 from Wanda Plaza directly there, but due to the long intervals of No. 118, I took a transfer. Caishiji, free for locals, 68 yuan for a ticket for outsiders, is a bit expensive, and my legs were too tired, so I didn't enter the scenic area. Opposite the east gate of Caishiji is the Yangtze River Everbright City, built to imitate Xi'an's Great Tang Everbright City. It looks really good, and the light show at night must be exciting, but you can only enter after 5 pm. I walked around from the outside and took bus No. 4 back to Ma'anshan East for the return trip. If I have the chance, I must come to see the Yangtze River Everbright City at night. In general, Ma'anshan is really nice and close to Nanjing. When you're tired of the big city life in Nanjing, it's quite nice to switch to a quieter city for relaxation.
