Compared to the hustle and bustle of Hongcun and Wuyuan, the autumn scenery of the ancient villages in Jiangnan, Anhui is more unique and delicate. If you're still wondering where to go for autumn viewing, why not stay in the ancient town of Southern Anhui for a couple of days?

Liqiao Shuitown presents a well-preserved ancient village. Walking in the village, you will feel an artistic atmosphere permeating every corner. Strolling through the deep and winding old streets, you can see the horse-head walls of green bricks and black tiles everywhere, which are very Huizhou-style. The ancient and simple old streets are indeed likable. 🪁Tour: Similar to the ancient town, there are many farmhouses outside the water town, and there are many snacks, barbecues, milk tea shops, etc. in the water town. It is recommended that you can go to see the water town during the day at about 5:30 in the evening when the sun is about to set, and then feel the neon lights of the water town as night falls, which is really different~ You can sit on a boat when the 'fairy air' rises on the water to feel the scenery of the entire water town. There are also some children's play projects inside 🎫Ticket: Locals are free with ID, and foreigners are 24 yuan/person ⌚️Tour time: 2-3 hours There is a parking lot at the entrance, and parking is convenient 🏨Accommodation: There are homestays in the scenic area, or staying in Tongling City is also a good choice

Address - Kloof Street, Cape Town Ambiance/Facilities - urban, modern Highlights - jalapeño poppers Avg. Price per Person - R129 Rating - 3/5 Small portions of food. Bao buns didn't really look like regular bao buns. The milk tart was very gelatinous and not creamy/smooth enough and the cheese cake was grainy and heavy, like they'd added too much coconut oil or butter. The waitress was friendly and everything is vegan which is awesome. #café

Recently, the full screen is golden canola, this time I came to Anhui to know that rapeseed is not only yellow! On both sides of the road in Tongling Huagu Valley, pink, orange and white rapeseed flowers are in harmony. It is said that there are six or seven colors of easy-to-live color rapeseed [applause] now is the season of tulip blooms. It is a good place to go to the Qingming small holiday!

In Tongling, Anhui, there's a hidden gem - Tianjing Lake Park. With its stunning lake views, mountains, and rich cultural heritage, it's perfect for a weekend of fresh air and sightseeing. Let's follow my footsteps on this journey through Tianjing Lake! 🎈South Entrance: As you enter through the south gate, a gentle breeze carries the fresh scent of lake water, instantly soothing your spirit. Looking up, you'll see the sparkling lake surface where fish swim freely in the crystal-clear water, with sunlight scattering like golden fragments across the surface. 🌉Nine-bend Bridge Walk: Following the lakeside, you'll reach the Nine-bend Bridge. The winding bridge stretches across the water like a sleeping dragon. From here, you can take in all the surrounding beauty. In the distance, rolling mountains complement the blue sky, white clouds, and lake waters, creating a stunning landscape painting. Nearby, boats dot the lake surface while visitors chat and laugh. 🛶Boat Trip to the Lake Island: From the dock near Nine-bend Bridge, take a boat to the South Lake's central island. As the boat glides forward, ripples spread across the water surface, with a pleasant breeze on your face. On the island, you'll discover the mysterious well. Its water level remains more than two meters higher than the lake year-round, rising and falling with the lake water as if by magic, amazing visitors. Above the well stands the Tongtian Pavilion, with its upturned eaves and classical style, showcasing elegant Ming-Qing architecture - every photo here turns out spectacular. 🖼️Valley Stele Forest: After leaving the island, stroll to the Valley Stele Forest.

The surrounding stone pillars and floor tiles are decorated with intricate copper patterns, showcasing the city's unique bronze culture. Tianjing Lake Park offers both natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Here, you can relax in nature while absorbing knowledge from cultural landmarks. Come and plan your visit now!

Departing from Hefei Airport by rental car via Tongling-Chizhou-Anqing Sanhe Ancient Town is another reconstructed ancient town similar to many others. Entry is free, but separate tickets are required for memorial halls and former residences. Package tickets are available at the entrance. Datong Ancient Town Scenic Area, about a 40-minute drive away, truly embodies what an ancient town should be in my opinion. You need to take a ferry to enter and exit the town. There are no cars, only electric tricycles. Few residents remain, with most houses collapsed or abandoned. Only a few elderly residents still make their living by fishing in the Yangtze River. It was raining all day, and walking through the quiet town with barely anyone in sight felt wonderful and peaceful. Along the drive, the roadside rape flowers are in full bloom this season, creating a beautiful golden landscape. Chizhou is a very small city that combines the style and climate of both Jiangnan and Huainan regions. It's particularly pleasant when there's a light rain. Jindizang Temple, located at the foot of Qi Mountain in the northeast of the city, is a newly built temple currently under renovation. It's an exquisite place where locals come to worship. Navigate to Pingtian Lake National Wetland Park and you can drive through the entire scenic area. You'll pass by the popular "Sky Road on Water," though without a drone you won't be able to capture its true beauty. The drive offers lovely views with plenty of spots to stop along the way. The only downside was the weather. You can drive across Pingtian Lake, which brings you back near Jindizang Temple. It's less than an hour's drive from Chizhou to Anqing. Anqing is much more prosperous than Chizhou. The first stop was Yingjiang Temple and Zhenfeng Tower along the Yangtze River embankment. Admission is CNY 10. There is roadside parking but spaces are limited, so taking a taxi or public transportation is recommended. Not far from Yingjiang Temple is the historic Anqing No. 9 Dock Ferry Terminal. It costs CNY 4 per person (recently increased from CNY 3) for a one-way 10-minute trip, with ferries departing every 30 minutes. It has become an important transportation link between Anqing and Chizhou residents (as the Yangtze River Bridge toll is CNY 20 one-way). The ferry cabin only has benches by the windows, with the rest of the space reserved for electric bikes and tricycles. The strong diesel smell and passengers chatting and smoking in the cabin represent authentic local life. Daobaoshi Pedestrian Street is beautiful at night and gets crowded. It's nice to browse the shops here. Together with Guohuo Street, it forms a tourist commercial district that's best visited in the evening. Lastly, the famous Shengjin Lake National Nature Reserve in Anhui is not a tourist attraction but a pure nature reserve. There are small villages by the lake with narrow roads. If the weather is good, it's worth visiting for the beautiful scenery. However, if the weather is poor, it's best to skip it.

I've been so stressed from work lately that I could barely breathe, and I desperately wanted to find a place to hide and escape all the exhaustion. I happened to see someone recommend Yongquan Town in Tongling, Anhui, saying it's a great place to completely relax. My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately decided to check it out 😎. Before I left, I was worried about the transportation, because inconvenient transportation can be a real pain when you're traveling. But after checking, wow, the transportation is super convenient! Take the high-speed train to Tongling North Station, then take a taxi, and you can reach Yongquan Town in about 15 minutes. It couldn't be easier 🚄. My anticipation was through the roof. As soon as I arrived in Yongquan Town, I was captivated by the tranquil atmosphere. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, everything here is slow-paced, as if time itself has slowed down 🕙. At that moment, I had only one thought: I've come to the right place! On the first day, I followed the recommended itinerary and visited the 12 Scenes of Recalling Jiangnan. I deliberately woke up early and set off while the morning sun was still mild and the crowds were small. Strolling along the winding paths, surrounded by mountains and rivers, shaded by lush trees 🌳, every scene was like a breathtaking painting, truly making me stop and admire. I was like a treasure hunter, thrilled with every new beautiful scene I discovered. Here, there was no work pressure, no trivial matters of life, only me and the beauty of nature. The morning breeze gently brushed my cheeks, carrying the fragrance of flowers and the scent of earth. That feeling was truly healing 💕. After a tiring day of exploring, I went to the Jiubao Hot Springs at the foot of the mountain. As soon as I got there, I was drawn to the open-air hot spring pools. I found a pool I liked and soaked in, the warm spring water enveloping my body, instantly dispelling the day's fatigue. Looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by green trees, it was incredibly pleasant. In this fast-paced life, it's such a luxury to have a moment to relax and unwind. As I soaked in the hot spring, I sighed inwardly, this is what life should be like! In the evening, there was a bonfire party in the town. Everyone gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing, filled with laughter and joy. At that moment, I felt the pure joy between people, without barriers, without pretense, only the most genuine smiles and the most sincere emotions. Here, I met friends from all over, listened to their stories, and shared my own happiness. It was a truly wonderful feeling! The next day, I went to Jiangnan Flavor. Stepping inside, it was like traveling back in time to an ancient market. The town uses copper coins for transactions, which is quite interesting. With the copper coins I exchanged, I shuttled between the stalls, tasting the local delicacies. Stinky tofu, sugared taro seedlings, shortbread... everything was so delicious that I couldn't stop 😋. The food here is not only delicious but also full of local flavor, allowing me to experience the local customs. My two days in Yongquan Town were truly wonderful. It's like a forgotten paradise, tranquil and charming. It has stunning natural scenery that allows you to forget your worries amidst the mountains and rivers; it has unique experiences that allow you to fully enjoy your leisure time; and it has a rich local flavor that allows you to feel the warmth of life. If you're like me, struggling under the pressure of life, or looking for a place to relax and experience a different kind of beauty, don't hesitate, come to Yongquan Town! Trust me, you'll fall in love with it, and when you leave, you'll definitely be thinking about when you can come back again. Such a wonderful place is truly worth experiencing! 💖
