    The most fortunate part of this trip to the Xu Bo Museum was encountering this wonderful guided tour! Professor Bi's profound knowledge brought the weighty history of the Han Dynasty to life, making it vivid and thorough. His explanations of the museum's treasures, such as the jade burial suit and the Han jade ornaments, were particularly impressive, transporting us back to that era. I listened with rapt attention throughout, benefiting immensely. It was definitely the highlight of any museum visit, and I highly recommend it!

    The scenic area is very large. The shuttle bus costs an additional 20 yuan. The attractions are neither too close nor too far apart; taking the bus is wasteful, and walking is unsuitable for the elderly and children. It takes half a day. Because the signage is not obvious, there are few people on non-holidays.

    I've heard about the Guishan Han Tomb for a long time, and I finally got to see it this time. To be honest, if you're just looking at the scenery, it's just average. But if you're interested in the history, then it's definitely worth a visit.

    The night view is beautiful. The iron flower display is spectacular. There are also various performances during the day. Staying at Sky City in the South Gate area means you'll find the Taierzhuang Battle Relics Park, Guandi Temple, and Xie Family Escort Agency nearby.

    I finally arrived at Langya Mountain after many years of looking forward to it, just to see the Drunken Old Man's Pavilion. The scenic area can be explored on foot or via internal public transportation. The electric shuttle bus only goes as far as Langya Temple; getting to the South Heavenly Gate requires climbing many steps. If you don't want to climb the steps, you can take a bus directly to the South Heavenly Gate at the entrance and then walk down the mountain, which is much easier. The staff at the scenic area were very friendly and patient, especially the girl at the Drunken Old Man's Pavilion station – she was wonderful.

    The autumn colors are absolutely stunning! Right on the banks of the Baohe River, it's within walking distance of Xiaoyaojin Park and Li Hongzhang's Former Residence, and easily accessible by public transportation (bus and subway). The clear blue water and sky reflect the red maples and dawn redwoods, creating a picturesque scene! Traveling from Kaifeng Prefecture, where Bao Zheng worked, to his hometown evokes a unique feeling! Whether it's Bao Gong Lake in Kaifeng Prefecture or the Baohe River in Hefei, both feature willows swaying along the banks, their beautiful scenery further highlighting Bao Zheng's incorruptibility! (So, actually, many prominent figures in the Northern Song Dynasty have their share of gossip, such as Bao Zheng offering wine at a banquet, which Wang Anshi refused to drink…) You can buy souvenirs from the vendors; their stalls are beautifully decorated, and you can even take photos! If you have time, you can take a boat tour on the Baohe River, or climb Qingfeng Pavilion for panoramic views. A leisurely stroll along the riverbank is also very pleasant and refreshing! The restored tomb chamber can be visited, and the park also exhibits some artifacts unearthed from the Bao family tombs... It's incredibly simple! Truly, he was incorruptible!

    The Huai'an Prefectural Government Office is a model of Ming and Qing dynasty government architecture in Jiangnan, its upturned eaves and corners conveying the grandeur and authority of a major water transport hub. The main hall is imposing, and artifacts such as instruments of torture and documents are well-preserved, offering a direct glimpse into the ancient administrative and judicial processes. The courtyard is well-organized, with inscriptions and couplets bearing the weight of history, combining architectural aesthetics with cultural value. It is a must-visit destination for understanding Huai'an's cultural heritage and the governance of local areas during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

    I saw the animal heads at the Old Summer Palace 10 years ago, and I never expected to have the opportunity to visit them again at the Anhui Provincial Museum 10 years later. The volunteer's explanation was especially interesting and I learned a lot!

    The Chinese-style horror is indeed amazing, but it's more suitable for older children. It's not very friendly to children under 120cm, as there are many height restrictions, which is a bit of a shame. The park is very large, and there are many very friendly NPCs. I'll definitely come back when my child is older.
