Things to do in Chaohu

Laoshan Island is a small island in Chaohu Lake, the fifth largest freshwater lake in my country. You can take a cruise to the island and explore the surrounding area. After disembarking, turn left onto a flat lakeside path where you can enjoy the scenery of Chaohu Lake. There are several spots to take photos and play in the water. Turn right onto a hiking trail where you can barely see the lake. You can also find restaurants in the small fishing village on the island.

This is my second time here. There are many hot spring pools, making it suitable for family trips. There is a rest area and light meals on the second floor. It starts at 10 am on weekends and holidays, and at 2 pm on weekdays. Soaking during the day is good for taking photos, while you can enjoy a private space at night. The hot spring water has various therapeutic effects on the body, and it feels very comfortable to take a bath after soaking. It's a great holiday experience.

Ziwei Cave is worth a visit. The cave is large, with stalactites, cool inside, and an underground river. It is very comfortable to take a boat tour. There are also many unique mountain features, which I recommend everyone to visit.

It's quite nice, the scenery is beautiful, the sky is clear, the air is fresh, the wind is gentle, looking up at the vastness of the universe, looking down at the abundance of species, so you can enjoy the sight and feel the entertainment, which is really enjoyable. The ladies live together for a lifetime, some take it from their hearts, understand the words in a room. Some rely on their trust and let go of their bodies. Although their interests are different, and their calmness and restlessness are different, when they are happy with what they encounter, they get what they want temporarily, and they are happy and content, not knowing that old age is coming. When they are tired of what they are doing,

It's quite good. It's a very large wetland park. It's also very beautiful. It's suitable for strolling here. There are not many people. The wind by the lake is very comfortable. There are many colors of trees and the wetland area is quite large.

Zhongmiao, also known as Shengmu Temple and Zhongmiao, is 48 kilometers away from Chaohu City. In ancient times, it was called "Zhongmiao" because it was located between Chaozhou and Luzhou. It is known as "the best scenic spot in the lake and sky". Due to its strong incense in successive dynasties, it is known as "Jiuhua in the south and Zhongmiao in the north". Zhongmiao was first built in the second year of Chiwu in the Eastern Wu Dynasty and has been abandoned and rebuilt many times in successive dynasties. The temple was rebuilt in the first year of Longji in the Later Tang Dynasty, "the mandarin duck tiles are mixed with the air, and the beauty is extremely beautiful". It was rebuilt again in the second year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty, with a total of 6 rows and 24 rooms. The statue of Taimu with "red face and peach red eyebrows" "stands in the treasure room and is located in the incense altar". In the Yuan Dynasty, the temple base was arched into a bridge, called "Aobei Cave", and a temple was built on the cave. In the Qing Dynasty, the temple had "a distinguished pavilion, a worship hall, a pavilion, and a terrace". In the 15th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Li Hongzhang initiated the reconstruction of the temple. It was divided into three halls, the front, middle and back, with more than 70 rooms. The back hall has a three-story scripture pavilion with windows on eight sides, flying eaves on the four corners, and bells on every corner.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.

Linggui Mountain Park faces Nanning's mother river, the Yongjiang River. The river water is clear and there are riverbank walkways on the shore, which is very suitable for strolling and enjoying the river view. There is a large lawn in the park for company team building and friends' gatherings. Bringing outdoor barbecue stoves and tents, camping and fishing here is also a good choice.

I went on October 2nd, and it was raining continuously. The first bus started at 5:00 AM, and I was among the first to go up the mountain. I took the cable car from Ciguang Pavilion to Yuping, then visited the Welcoming Pine, Bright Summit, Flying Stone, the first loop, the second loop, and returned to Paiyun Pavilion. From there, I hiked to Yungusi Temple. I took the bus at 5:00 AM and arrived at Yungusi Temple at 1:00 PM.
