Holiday | Qianhua Ancient Village
Tourist Attraction Punch Guide worth bringing family to see:
🌎Location: Baohua Town, Jurong City, Zhenjiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Baohua Mountain National Forest Park | It takes about 40 minutes by car from Xuanwu District, Nanjing City. It is located at the junction of Nanjing City and Zhenjiang City. The roads along the way are still under construction, and you must pass through village paths or highways where large trucks are rampant
🅿️Parking: During holidays, parking spaces are tight, and the layout of the parking lot needs to be improved
🚶Experience:
From the entrance of the national park, the view is vast but somewhat desolate. Due to the lack of prior understanding of Qianhua Ancient Village, the overall expectation for Qianhua Ancient Village will be relatively low after seeing this scene.
However, once you enter Qianhua Ancient Village, it's a completely different feeling. This is definitely an excellent spot for taking photos, and I super regret not bringing a camera. Next time, I must wear clothes suitable for taking photos and come again:
🧍Crowd: Because it is the May Day holiday, the flow of people has obviously increased a lot compared to usual. It may be desolate on non-holidays, but the flow of people seems just right with the boost of the holiday. The subway cannot reach directly, so generally only local people in Jiangsu will know and choose this place as a travel destination during holidays
🏘️Architectural layout: Different from the general ancient towns or tourist attractions, the buildings in Qianhua Ancient Village are scattered in an orderly manner, not the traditional straight corridor and large bay layout. Not only are there many corners, but there are also many changes in terrain, without any regular pattern, yet constantly creating a sense of surprise
💰Prices: The overall prices are normal compared to other scenic areas. Normal grilled sausages are 6 yuan each, ice jelly is 10 yuan per bowl, and squid is 15 yuan for 4 skewers, which are affordable and basically do not require queuing
⏰Time: The overall scope of Qianhua Ancient Village is not large. It takes about two hours to stroll, stop, take photos, and eat
🤔Shortcomings: First of all, of course, are the problems of the flow of people and geographical location. The surrounding facilities are not perfect enough to attract a large number of tourists; due to the limitation of the flow of people, many shops are not open, causing a certain waste
Overall, Qianhua Ancient Village is a good place to avoid the crowd on holidays and make people feel happy. If the utilization rate of buildings can be maximized, there will definitely be a better travel experience. The buildings on the mountain are very suitable as homestays for tourists to rest, but at present, they do not seem to be well planned. I hope to have a better travel experience next time I go!

Qianhua Ancient Village: Reconstructed in the style of antiquity based on historical background, visitors feel as if they have traveled through time and space
I am Guanhai Tingtao tour+ Global Traveler, please follow me!
(Published the 1693rd travel photography article in 1005 cities across 56 countries/regions on 5 continents)
At the border of Nanjing and Zhenjiang in Jiangsu, there is a Baohua Mountain, with the Longchang Temple on the mountain and Qianhua Village at the foot of the mountain.
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the south of the Yangtze River six times, and each time he went to the Longchang Temple and stayed in Qianhua Village. When the emperor was inspired to write poetry, he left a poem for Baohua Mountain: 'The water flows, the stones remain still; the mountain is tranquil, and the clouds fly on their own.'
Today's 'Qianhua Ancient Village' is a village completely reconstructed in the ancient style. There are no original inhabitants in the village, no hustle and bustle of traffic, only simplicity and tranquility. The splendid 'scene reenactment' performances, the experiences that are both real and fake, make people linger and forget to return. Cloth shops, lantern shops, tofu shops, courier stations, taverns, inns, and banks... recreate the rich atmosphere of the Ming and Qing dynasties, allowing visitors to immerse themselves as if they have traveled through time and space.
In the hazy night, you can enjoy the night view of the ancient village while sitting in a riverside tavern, drinking and chatting. Or you can find a bookstore and carefully search for your own piece of ancient village sentiment.

Xike Spring bubbles to welcome guests
Located at the northwest foot of Damao Peak in the Maoshan Scenic Area, there is a famous ancient spring called Xike Spring, which is also the last stop of this Maoshan trip. Xike Spring is warm in winter and cool in summer, with sweet water quality, and it does not dry up during drought.
In June 2002, the scenic area carried out restorative development of the divine spring. The attraction integrates the Daoist concept of 'the unity of heaven and man', combining ancient trees, the divine spring, historical relics, and pavilions, forming a natural landscape painting. Xike Spring is named for its 'Three Wonders', which are said to be miraculous and extraordinary due to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the immortal aura of Daoism:
The first wonder: The spring bubbles happily when guests arrive. As long as visitors stand by the spring and clap their hands twice, strings of bubbles will emerge from the bottom of the spring, like pearls tumbling, as if welcoming the guests, hence the name Xike Spring.
The second wonder: The spring water is covered with an oily film. When Xike Spring is calm, there will be a thin film-like substance covering the surface. When bubbles emerge and water ripples scatter, the film-like surface splits open, then suddenly gathers together, and slowly returns to calm, resembling oily water, thus called 'oily film cover'.
The third wonder: The water flows uphill. The water level of Xike Spring is about 8 meters higher than the water ditch on its east side. According to the gravity of the earth, the water flowing down from the mountain should follow the ditch on the east side down the mountain, but surprisingly, it flows into Xike Spring.

Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Nanjing is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the capital of the Ten Dynasties, after thousands of years of nourishment, naturally there is no shortage of delicious food. The Chinese, Western and afternoon teas in the Country Garden Hotel are online, no matter the taste or the value of the face. The exquisite set-up, the brain-opening creativity makes people feel that this is a feast of vision and taste.
The hotel advocates the avant-garde and healthy diet concept of multicolored breakfast, which means that breakfast is the first of three meals, because it is especially necessary to emphasize the rich variety of species and the reasonable and scientific diet. In addition to the hotel's breakfast bread omelet salad milk coffee, the hotel also incorporates the most distinctive pot lids in Zhenjiang near the hotel's buffet breakfast. A bowl of hot pot lid, a Chinese-style congee, is more ironed than a bread toast without temperature.
The area where the afternoon tea is used in the western restaurant is the original wooden table and chair. It is very small and fresh, and it is arranged to be very childlike during the World Cup. It is suitable for bringing this little girl to taste together. Although there are only two types of afternoon tea, the amount is particularly large. The two big ones and three small ones have not finished eating, not to mention coffee and tea drinks. The upper level is tapas and the mum pattern of the snow Mei Niang, the lower layer is a small cake of various flavors. Desserts are salty, especially Xue Mei Niang is especially suitable for children. Although it certainly can't compare with the 3,400 sets of afternoon tea in the international five-star hotel, but this price to eat such afternoon tea, the price is already very high.

The Phoenix Xuan Chinese Restaurant in Nanjing Country Garden is like the level of Country Garden before, and it also has a lot of surprises. Fenghuangxuan Chinese Restaurant specializes in Huaiyang cuisine, the main dish, focusing on fine knife and emphasizing the control of the fire. The dishes retain the freshness and crispness of the southern dishes, and they also absorb the taste of the northern cuisine.
The sashimi of the icy chilly hairy belly, the soup base used for simmering next to it is green and looks "harmless". I didn't expect that the hairy belly of the pot was so hot and spicy that people couldn't help it. I have eaten a few pieces in a row and I am very addicted!
spring water beef soup, soup looks like colorless, similar to boiling water, taste a bit of fresh beef with a unique flavor, is a kung fu dish.
Wensi tofu, this can be said to be my favorite in Huaiyang cuisine, and the chef's knife and fire are extremely demanding.
sauce meat old pastry, the practice of sauce meat, it is a bit of the shadow of this dish. Because the old noodle cake with the gluten Q bomb solves the greasy taste of the sauce, it retains the taste and flavor of the sauce.
Steamed arowana, the most nutritious fish of all fish, even the precious caviar is made from the eggs of the arowana. The steaming method preserves the freshness of the fish itself, dips the sauce, and the mouth is instant.
Spicy fried hawthorn powder, the dish is especially rich in poetic and delicate dishes. The method of frying makes the hawthorn flour crispy and tender, and the surface spice seasoning will blend with the hawthorn powder which has no taste. It is soft and delicious, aftertaste endless.
