I regret only now coming to this severely underrated small town in southern Anhui—it's stunningly beautiful

I only found out about this place on my trip to Anhui! Who would have thought that such an off-the-beaten-path gem is hidden in Tongling ✅Gorgeous autumn scenery ✅Natural hot springs ✅Jiangnan-style gardens ✅Quiet and serene - This place isn't as crowded as Hongcun and is relatively less known. After spending two days and one night, I've put together this travel guide for enjoying autumn in this small town👇Scroll down👇 - 📍Location: Yongquan Town, Tongling 🚗Self-driving: It's accessible by car from the surrounding areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, and the scenic area is very close to the highway exit 🚄High-speed train: You can get to Tongling North Station and then take a taxi for about 15 minutes - 🚶'Travel Itinerary' Remembering Jiangnan's 12 Sceneries—Jiubao Hot Springs—Jiangnan Snack Street—Garden Stroll—Hot Spring Hotel - ✅Remembering Jiangnan's 12 Sceneries The essence of the trip! Along the way, you can climb up to enjoy the autumn scenery, accompanied by pavilions, streams, and autumn colors... The scenery changes with every step, very charming~ (It takes less than 2 hours to hike up the mountain, and you can take a glass slide down) ✅Jiubao Hot Springs In autumn and winter, it's really impossible to refuse a hot spring. The outdoor private hot spring baths allow you to enjoy the warmth while admiring the scenery~ ✅Jiangnan Snack Street You actually use 'copper coins' to buy food!! You need to exchange them at the money exchange in advance. Spicy crab, mutton in copper pot, Jiangnan snacks... and there's even a host and a bonfire party at night, creating a great atmosphere! ✅Garden Stroll If you don't want to climb the mountain on the first day, you can stroll around the gardens. There's also a children's playground for families with kids - 🏨'About Accommodation' The hotel I stayed at is a hot spring hotel in the scenic area, each room has its own hot spring access, allowing for the freedom of enjoying hot springs♨️ They also offer buffet meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it's really quite cost-effective!
