The degree of commercialization is low, and you can see a strong life atmosphere on the road, the stream is gurgling, and there is a poetic joy between the mountains and the wild. There are many historical ancient buildings, ancestral halls, etc. in the scenic area, and there is a small pavilion where Li Bai and Wang Lun drank together.

Jing County is a region with relatively many attractions. If you like ancient villages and don't climb mountains, you can mainly play in Jing County, 【Taohuatan-Chaji Ancient Town-Ink Tingxi】 and so on. 2. If you like climbing mountains and experiencing the culture of Huihang Ancient Road, you can choose to play mainly in Jixi, climb the Huihang Ancient Road, and take a look at the Hu's Ancestral Hall. Huihang Ancient Road is also very suitable for team building. 3. Xuancheng also has the famous 【Wannan Sichuan-Tibet Line】, which runs through Qinglong Township, Ningguo City and Jing County, Xuancheng City, and has the essence of Wannan's mountains and rivers. Every scene matches its poetic and picturesque name. Xuancheng Food Recommendation🍲 The special food in Xuancheng is also very good, Huizhou cake, hairy tofu, spicy vermicelli, Jixi vermicelli, Jixi fried vermicelli, flower pork field chicken, each one is worth a try! ♥In general, Xuancheng is very beautiful, but the attractions are relatively scattered, and self-driving is more convenient!!

XuanchengJingtingMountain 1. Yancheng Binhai County, Picture 1 to Picture 4 There are not as many people here as in the urban area of Yancheng, and there are not many attractions, but it is super suitable for self-driving tours. You can see the sea. Although it is a muddy beach, not a sandy beach, there is a lighthouse and a place for BBQ, which is very suitable for self-driving tours. The sunset view is really amazing. Then there is a famous pig's trotter wonton shop on the old street of Binhai, which is very delicious. Huaiyang Tower is also pretty good. 2. Xuancheng, Anhui, Picture 5 to Picture 9 I went there during the National Day holiday, and there were not too many people. You can spend two days in Chaji Ancient Town. The homestay I booked there is very beautiful. The ancient town is not big, but the scenery is amazing. It is very suitable for photo shoots and strolling. Chaji paste is a specialty, you can try it. There is a restaurant called Chaji Renjia which is quite delicious. The Shen Yin Coffee Shop is also a good place to sit. But Chaji Ancient Town is quite far from the station. I didn't plan my trip well, so I ended up taking a taxi for more than 100 kilometers. You can also go to Taohuatan, but I didn't go, so I won't comment. Jingting Mountain is quite low, you can climb up to see the sunrise. It takes half an hour to an hour to climb up, but you need to make a reservation in advance. There will be many elderly people climbing the mountain to exercise, and it's quite interesting to climb with them. The scenery is also quite beautiful.

The May Day holiday is approaching, and to avoid the crowds as much as possible, you can choose to travel to the lesser-known Jing County. This place is probably the best scenic spot in southern Anhui, and the attractions are not so famous, but they are still worth seeing. It's definitely worth considering for a trip. 👉Taohua Pool The Taohua Pool is a thousand feet deep, but not as deep as Wang Lun's affection for me. Yes, it's in Jing County. Experience the friendship described by the poet Li Bai at the Taohua Pool scenic area. The entire countryside is also very beautiful, with a picturesque combination of lakes and mountains. 👉Chaji Ancient Village 'Why do I choose to live in the green mountains?' I laugh but do not answer, my heart is at ease. This is also from Li Bai's writings. Chaji Ancient Village is an ancient village from the Ming and Qing dynasties, also known as the number one village for plein air painting in China. 👉China Xuan Paper Cultural Park It is a modern building with a simple and fresh style, suitable for taking photos and checking in. You can also see the Xuan paper making process. 👉Other Check-in Spots Enjoy Green Forest Valley, take a look at the last of the rapeseed flowers in the village, visit the Wu Family Ancestral Hall to see the culture of southern Anhui, and experience the slow life of the countryside. These are all great travel activities. 👉Recommended Homestay: Maolin Xiuzhu Homestay Considering distance and comfort, I recommend the Maolin Xiuzhu Homestay where I stayed before. It's located in Taohua Pool Town, conveniently close to several attractions by car. The natural environment and experience here are quite good. You can also dig bamboo shoots nearby, which is child-friendly. The homestay features include: ❤️The name comes from the 'Preface to the Poems Collected from the Orchid Pavilion', with lush bamboo forests and spring waters by the side, you can feel the charm of the Qingyi River. ❤️The homestay has independent courtyard rooms, each with its own space, especially suitable for family trips. The quiet environment is also great for families to enjoy the fun of the mountains and wilderness. ❤️The homestay is well-equipped with a coffee shop, workshop, tea room, and bamboo hall. You don't have to worry about a comfortable travel experience when you come here. 👉Travel Tips Considering the crowds during the May Day holiday, it's recommended to go to the attractions after breakfast, arriving at the opening time of the scenic areas for a good parking and sightseeing experience. For the homestay, you can communicate any needs with the homestay manager, who is very nice. The main thing is to have a good time with the family.

Peach Blossom Pool Scenic Area is a provincial-level tourist resort in Anhui Province! The natural and cultural landscapes in the scenic area are integrated, with both the fresh and beautiful, green and overlapping scenery of southern Anhui, where you can observe the spirit of the mountains and rivers; and the well-preserved, unique ancient buildings, where you can feel the deep feelings of thinking about the past! The Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai once wrote the eternal masterpiece here, 'The water of Peach Blossom Pool is a thousand feet deep, but it can't compare to the affection Wang Lun gave me'. Upstream along the Peach Blossom Pool is the largest Chen Village Hydropower Station in the mountainous area of southern Anhui. Climbing up the dam of the power station, looking far away, you are facing the 'Huangshan Lovers' Taiping Lake, which is connected to Huangshan by water, and you can take a boat directly to the foot of Huangshan! The lake is full of green waves, with thousands of green hills, presenting a different view! The Golden Island in the lake, like the pearl in the palm of Taiping Lake, stands tall and graceful. The island is densely forested, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, every step is a scene, like a poem and a painting! Address: Within the territory of Taohuatan Town, Jing County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province

In the cold winter, I chose the new homestay 'Maolin Xiuzhu Rural Resort' in Jing County, Xuancheng, Anhui as my winter vacation spot. Not only does it have a warm homestay design, but also the surrounding natural beauty and rich cultural activities, which made me spend an unforgettable holiday. The first impression of staying in Maolin Xiuzhu is its exquisite courtyard design. Each room is full of strong rural flavor and incorporates modern comfort. I especially like the window that opens to the courtyard. When I wake up in the morning, the first ray of sunlight falls on the bed, warm and comfortable. The environment here is quiet and pleasant, surrounded by greenery, as if in a natural oxygen bar. Every night, I would relax in the small courtyard pool of the homestay, look up at the starry sky, and feel the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle. During my stay, I happened to catch the activities during the Spring Festival. I took my family to participate in parent-child paper cutting and DIY small dragon lanterns, as well as parent-child lion dance and dumpling making. These activities not only made our family of three happy, but also made us deeply feel the charm of traditional culture. Especially the experience of writing couplets and sparklers, it is really an unforgettable memory. The surrounding attractions are rich, Taohuatan Scenic Area, Chaji Ancient Town, Fobao Temple, etc. are all within self-driving range. I chose to go to Taohuatan Scenic Area and Chaji Ancient Town for a walk, strolling through the antique streets, feeling the accumulation of history and the traces of time. In general, 'Maolin Xiuzhu Rural Resort' is a very satisfactory accommodation experience for me. Whether it's design, environment or service, I can feel the host's intentions.
