When tens of thousands of pink clouds spread over the foot of the Dabie Mountains, and robots dance beneath the peach trees—this is not a sci-fi movie, but the most imaginative way to welcome spring 2025. Starting March 21, Lu’an invites you to a springtime rendezvous that transcends time and space, with flowers as the messenger. 🎭 Three Main Venues · Each Blooming in Splendor Jinchong Peach Garden, the core stage of this Peach Blossom Festival, grandly opens at 9:30 AM on March 21 in Jinchong Village, Zhangdian Town, Jin’an District.

Amidst a shower of petals, you’ll see technology with warmth and spring taking shape. “Before, people outnumbered flowers; this year, flowers are closer to the future.” 🎎 Immersive Time Travel · Myth Meets Reality Make a wish under the peach tree and “summon” three ancient gods—Luban opens the vital transportation routes, the magical brush of Ma Liang paints exquisite routes, and Guan Zhong offers strategies to distribute benefits to the people. Twelve flower goddesses, dressed in splendid costumes, stroll along the boardwalk; reciting poetry at corners can win you peach blossom seeds 🌱. Change into Hanfu and join the Peach Garden Hanfu Show, step into the **“Peach You Joy” Photo Studio**—from a flower viewer to a character in a painting in an instant. 💕 Five-Sense Experience Zone · Collect All the Springtime Joys The place with the best peach blossom luck naturally hosts the most romantic encounters—“Jinyou Qianqian Knot” matchmaking event might find single youths their fate right before the next peach tree. In the “Peach Forest Fun Zone,” children play ring toss, pitch pots, and kick shuttlecocks, filling the woods with laughter. At the “Taste of Spring” food area, follow intangible cultural heritage inheritors to hand-make Artemisia cakes, kneading the flavor of spring into the dough. In the “Spring Tea Aesthetic Space,” enjoy a cup of Lu’an Huangda tea accompanied by guzheng music; the unique crispy rice aroma lets tea and flower scents dance together on your palate. The favorite among young people, the **“Spring Trunk Market,”** opens car trunks to showcase coffee, handmade crafts, cultural creations, succulents... each car is the trendiest way to open spring. The most special is hidden in the woods—the Peach Blossom Time Post Office. Choose a postcard, write down your current feelings, and drop it into the mailbox marked with the corresponding year. On this day next year, or the spring three years from now, this spring memory will arrive on time. Leave yourself an expectation and write a love letter to spring 💌 The blossoms will fade, but memories can be mailed. This March, come to Lu’an—let robots accompany you to enjoy the flowers, let flower gods bring you into the painting, and let your future self receive the spring of this moment. 🌸✨ Lu’an, worth visiting again and again.

As a travel blogger, exploring Lu'an with a budget of 5,000 yuan and a high demand for "no repetition" is both a challenging and interesting task. I have reorganized a seven-day itinerary for you, avoiding backtracking and incorporating the latest spring 2026 experiences, hoping to inspire your creative work in a new way. 🎒 Pre-trip Must-Read: Highlights of Lu'an from a Blogger's Perspective · Core Experience: This route connects the picturesque landscapes of the Dabie Mountains (Tiantangzhai, Wanfo Lake), geological wonders (Western Anhui Grand Canyon), hydraulic monument (Foziling Reservoir), and the limited spring 2026 flower sea. · Transportation: Given the scattered attractions and the most beautiful scenery along the way, self-driving is highly recommended. The 7-day, 6-night itinerary perfectly allows you to deeply experience the essence of the "800-kilometer Dabie Mountain Scenic Road," ensuring you don't miss any surprises on the road. · Budget Allocation (Estimated): · Transportation (fuel + tolls): about 1,500 yuan (even lower per person if two share a car) · Accommodation: about 1,500 yuan (6 nights, balancing cost-effectiveness and unique homestays) · Food: about 1,200 yuan (sampling authentic Huizhou cuisine and snacks) · Tickets: about 800 yuan (selecting core scenic spots reasonably) 🗺️ Seven-Day Non-Repetitive Itinerary Plan Day 1: Hydraulic Wonder and Sunset Avenue · Morning: Arrive in Lu'an and head straight to Hengpaitou Scenic Area, the source of the Pi River main canal, known as the "Hengpai Wonderland," where you can experience the integration of hydraulic engineering and natural scenery. · Noon: Stroll through Dushan Old Street, once a commercial hub, feel the historical accumulation of blue bricks and gray tiles, and taste authentic farmhouse dishes. · Evening: Drive along the Yongan section of the Dabie Mountain Scenic Road. This is your first encounter with a stunning sunset on the trip, with golden rays shining over wetlands and fields—an excellent opportunity for road photography. · Accommodation: Recommended to stay at Xugu Hot Spring Resort or nearby unique homestays to wash away the day's fatigue. Day 2: Geological Exploration and Lake-Mountain Scenery · Morning: Challenge the Western Anhui Grand Canyon. The rocks look as if split by a giant axe; you will need to use both hands and feet to cross the "Three Gates," experiencing nature's craftsmanship—exclusive video material guaranteed. · Afternoon: Head to Dabie Mountain Scenic Valley, known as Anhui's "Jiuzhaigou," featuring waterfalls, strange rocks, covered bridges, and caves. The valley is fragrant with spring vegetation. · Evening: Drive to Heishidu Bridge to witness the sunset over Sleeping Beauty Mountain. Under the setting sun, the distant mountains look like dark ink, reflected in the Pi River, creating an extremely peaceful scene. · Accommodation: Boutique homestays in Huo Shan County or nearby. Day 3: New China’s First Dam and Rustic Romance · Morning: Visit the "New China’s First Dam"—Foziling Reservoir. Not only is its appearance magnificent, but you can also take a boat tour to admire the dam’s grandeur from the water. The reservoir’s water is as clear as sapphire. · Afternoon: Drive the most beautiful section of the Dabie Mountain Scenic Road in Taiyang Township. Here you will find magnificent mountains and the famous "Figure 8 Curve," a holy spot for motorbike and self-driving enthusiasts. Be sure to stop at the "Wang Jiuchong" viewing platform for a panoramic view. · Accommodation: Stay in Taiyang Township or head to Tiantangzhai Town. Day 4: Climb Tiantangzhai, One Step Across Two Provinces · All day: Spend the day at Tiantangzhai, the watershed between northern and southern river systems. It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain and hike the forest corridor. At the 1,729-meter summit, feel the grandeur of "looking north to Central China and south to Jingchu." On the way down, don’t miss the waterfall clusters, another highlight of Tiantangzhai. · Evening: Taste Jinzhai’s specialty—Diao Guo hot pot. Recommended is Qiaobang Cook (Tiantangzhai branch), with an average cost of 60-70 yuan per person. The decor is distinctive, and sitting around the hot pot on a chilly spring night creates a great atmosphere. · Accommodation: Tiantangzhai Town. Day 5: Hongling Highway and Spring Flower Viewing · Morning: Drive the China Hongling Highway (Mazoling section). This winding road through towering mountains offers stunning scenery. Along the way, visit Dawan Village to experience the new rural style. · Afternoon: Depending on the flower season, flexibly choose to visit Wangchun Valley in Tiechong Township, Jinzhai County (late February to early March, for wild Wangchun flowers) or Cherry Blossom Valley in Quanjun Township (March, for tens of thousands of wild cherry blossoms). This is the most sought-after "limited edition" for spring 2026. · Evening: Visit Meishan Reservoir to experience the grandeur of a high gorge opening into a flat lake. · Accommodation: Jinzhai County town. Day 6: Red Memories and Huai River Charm · Morning: Visit Jinzhai County Red Army Square, an important window to understand Lu'an’s "red gene." · Afternoon: Drive to Huoqiu, enjoying the plain scenery of the Huai River basin along the way. Visit Linhuaigang Scenic Area, Huai River Culture Park, and the Willow Weaving Culture Museum to learn about Huai River management and folk culture. · Accommodation: Huoqiu County town. Day 7: Lakeside Relaxation and Return · Morning: The last stop is Wanfo Lake, with its lake views, mountains, and numerous islands. Focus on quality over quantity; you can leisurely take a boat tour or find a lakeside fish restaurant (such as Zhangjia Fish Restaurant) to enjoy the authentic "one fish three ways." End your trip perfectly with fresh and delicious fish soup. · Afternoon: Depending on your return direction, depart from Shucheng County or return directly to Lu'an city center to conclude your pleasant journey. 🍜 Taste of Lu'an: Blogger’s Private Recommendations As a travel blogger, food is the best language to tell local stories. Besides the Diao Guo hot pot in Tiantangzhai and fish head at Wanfo Lake, I want to recommend some local favorite spots: · Matouji "Breakfast Trio": If time permits, get up early to visit this lively old street. Mung bean balls, vermicelli tofu pudding, and hanging oven sesame cakes—these simple snacks hold the most authentic taste of Lu'an mornings and are excellent subjects for cultural photography. · Weidao Xiaochu / Wanxi Renjia Local Cuisine: For a concentrated experience of Lu'an home-style dishes, these two are highly rated, with good environments and authentic local flavors. · Huo Shan Specialty Set Meals: Near Foziling, you can try breakfast at Yuanpai Nanyue Mountain Villa or the cost-effective set meals at Wancheng Yunhan Hotel (Foziling branch), sampling local dishes like sauced crispy rice. 📝 Blogger’s Ramblings and Tips 1. Flower Season Tracking: For spring 2026 flower viewing, remember to follow "Lu'an Culture and Tourism" for real-time updates. Wangchun flowers (late February to early March), cherry blossoms (March), and peach blossoms (mid-late March to early April) each have their charm. Adjust your Day 5 itinerary accordingly to head straight to the best viewing spots. 2. Road Conditions: Before departure, check "Lu'an City Automobile Transport Co., Ltd." or related traffic WeChat accounts for the latest road construction (such as G312 Helu Road) and detour plans to avoid delays. 3. Accommodation Booking: March to April is peak flower viewing season, especially on weekends. Unique homestays around Taiyang Township and Tiantangzhai are very popular, so it’s recommended to book early on platforms like Trip.com. Hotels near Youran Lanxi Resort offer good value and are suitable as a city base. I hope this guide inspires your trip to Lu'an. The grandeur and gentleness of the Dabie Mountains, the red and green of Lu'an, all deserve your lens and pen to savor carefully. Wishing you new discoveries every day in Lu'an and a pleasant journey!

It is said that West Jiuhua Mountain is the sacred site of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva and was the primary site in the Central Plains before Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva moved to Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui, which is why it is called West Jiuhua Mountain. While East Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui is well-known, West Jiuhua Mountain has remained largely unknown. The Zen cultural scenic area of West Jiuhua Mountain mainly includes attractions such as Luming Hermitage, the Mountain Climbing Ladder, and the Root-Seeking Tower. The tea culture scenic area is set against a backdrop of ten thousand acres of tea gardens. The bamboo sea of West Jiuhua Mountain is a major wonder in southern Henan and the largest natural bamboo sea oxygen bar in the Central Plains region. [Coke] Tour route: South Heavenly Gate — Mountain Climbing Cloud Ladder — Miaogao Zen Temple — Tang People Root-Seeking Tower — Ten Thousand Acres Tea Garden Viewing Area. [Facepalm] However, it must be said that the tourism infrastructure is really inadequate... 1. The road signs are unclear, so self-driving navigation requires extra attention. 2. The scenic area is divided into several smaller areas, but many of these are not open, which is really confusing. 3. There are basically no staff visible in the scenic area; it’s a laid-back, Buddhist-style managed scenic spot. 4. Whether you can find the specific attractions you want to visit depends entirely on luck, because there is no directional information anywhere in this scenic area. [TeaDrinker]

In the scorching summer heat, the city feels like it's trapped in a giant steamer, with the blazing air leaving no escape. So, I packed my bag, escaped the hustle and bustle, and headed to Longjinggou in Lu'an to seek that refreshing coolness and tranquility. Entering the Forest: Encountering Nature’s Cool Gift As the car slowly entered the Longjinggou Scenic Area, it felt like passing through an invisible barrier, instantly cutting off the heat outside. Looking up, all I saw was lush greenery, with trees thick and full, like giant green umbrellas shading the earth with a cool world. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating mottled light and shadow, like a carefully painted natural masterpiece. Walking along the winding path, wildflowers of unknown names bloomed by the roadside—red, yellow, purple, and colorful—gently swaying in the breeze, warmly welcoming every visitor. The air was filled with the fragrance of earth and grass, mixed with a faint floral scent, inviting deep breaths to fully absorb this freshness and purity. Playing in the Stream: Enjoying the Joyful Coolness of Summer The soul of Longjinggou is undoubtedly its babbling streams. The water is crystal clear, revealing the sand and swimming fish below. I eagerly took off my shoes, rolled up my pants, and stepped into the stream. Instantly, a coolness spread from my feet throughout my body, dispelling all the summer heat. The stream was sometimes calm, like a mirror reflecting the surrounding mountains and trees; sometimes rushing, forming small waterfalls and whirlpools, splashing white water droplets. I walked upstream, sometimes bending down to catch fish, sometimes scooping water to splash my companions, laughter echoing through the valley. Children played by the stream, chasing each other with water guns, the splashes sparkling like dazzling pearls in the sunlight. In the stream, there were many stones of various shapes. Some were smooth and round like giant pebbles; others had sharp edges, like natural sculptures. I chose a flat stone to sit on, dipped my feet in the water, closed my eyes, and quietly listened to the flowing water and birdsong, feeling the peace and harmony of nature. Waterfall Exploration: Experiencing the Majestic Power of Nature Continuing along the stream, a roaring sound came from nearby, like thousands of horses galloping. Approaching, I found a spectacular waterfall. Water cascaded from a high cliff like the Milky Way falling from the sky, splashing huge water droplets and forming a white mist. The mist, illuminated by sunlight, refracted colorful rainbows, like a magical bridge connecting heaven and earth. Standing at the foot of the waterfall, I felt the mist on my face, as if in a cool world. The thunderous roar of the waterfall was deafening, making me feel the grandeur and infinite power of nature. Looking up, the waterfall resembled a white dragon roaring down the cliff, majestic and awe-inspiring. Next to the waterfall was a small viewing platform. I climbed up and overlooked the entire waterfall and surrounding scenery. The waterfall looked like a white ribbon embedded between green mountains and waters, complementing the mountains, trees, and streams, forming a beautiful landscape painting. Forest Walk: Immersed in a Sea of Green Leaving the waterfall, I entered the forest of Longjinggou. The forest was tall and dense, with interlaced branches forming a natural green barrier. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating golden patches of light that danced and flickered on the ground. Walking in the forest, the rustling of fallen leaves underfoot sounded like a beautiful symphony performed by nature. Birdsong and insect chirps blended into a harmonious orchestra. I took a deep breath, the air filled with the fresh scent of trees and earth, refreshing and uplifting. In the forest, I also saw many rare plants and animals. Colorful wildflowers, mushrooms of various shapes, and lively squirrels. The squirrels jumped and played among the branches, their fluffy tails twitching adorably. I quietly stood aside, watching their every move, feeling as if I had merged into this green ocean. Taste of Longjinggou: Savoring Mountain Delicacies After a day of exploring, my stomach was growling. I went to a farmhouse restaurant at the foot of the mountain to try local specialties. Most ingredients came from the mountains, fresh and healthy. First came a dish of stir-fried wild vegetables. The greens were vibrant and refreshing, with a faint wild mountain flavor that lingered delightfully. Next was a plate of braised native chicken, tender and juicy, with rich and mellow sauce, paired with fragrant rice that whetted the appetite. There was also steamed fish, tender and smooth, melting in the mouth with a subtle fresh aroma. After the meal, the owner served a cup of homemade mountain tea. The tea was golden in color, fragrant, with a rich taste and long-lasting aftertaste. Sitting in the farmhouse courtyard, enjoying the food while admiring the surrounding mountain and water scenery and feeling the mountain breeze was truly one of life’s great pleasures. As the sunset glow bathed me, I reluctantly left Longjinggou. This summer trip allowed me to escape the city’s noise and heat, get close to nature, and experience its beauty and wonder. Longjinggou, this cool mountain and water secret place, will forever remain deep in my memory, waiting for the next reunion. 1. Core Information of the Scenic Area 1.
