Chaohu Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Laoshan Island Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Anhui Trip 44
On March 24, 2024, at 12:00 PM, the Heilongjiang Corps veterans' health and vacation tour arrived at today's third destination: Laoshan Island Scenic Area in Chaohu. Located to the southwest of Zhongmiao Street in Chaohu City, it sits in the middle of Chaohu Lake, one of the five largest freshwater lakes in the country. The island is roughly spindle-shaped, with lush forests and evergreen trees all year round, resembling a green snail floating on the water. Surrounded by water on all sides, Laoshan Island is like a leaf drifting on the lake, the only 'green oasis' in the eight hundred li of Chaohu Lake, and it is the premier scenic spot of Chaohu. After a 15-minute boat ride from the dock, visitors reach the island and then take an electric sightseeing car for a tour around the island. Due to heavy fog and poor visibility on that day, the plan to climb the mountain on the island was abandoned.

Hefei really has a sea—Laoshan Island The strongest pit-avoiding guide!!!
Transportation: 🚇Subway👉🏻Bus🚌👉🏻Ferry🚢
308 bus, terminal station - Zhongmiao Bus Station, my friend and I went on the weekend, the bus was super crowded, and basically, you have to stand for the whole journey. Along the route of 308, you can see the lake water by the shore, it's really beautiful~
Tickets: 🚢Ferry 60/person (round trip) every thirty minutes
🚤Speedboat 75/person (round trip) every fifteen minutes
We arrived at Laoshan Island in the afternoon, so we chose the speedboat, which was really exciting. If you go there, try to sit in the back row, you can see the spray, and you can stretch out your hands to feel the wind and the spray on your hands
On the island: 🏔The island is quite large, because the sun was quite strong in the afternoon, so we didn't choose to climb the mountain directly. We strolled around the fishing village, near the lakeside, where the breeze was blowing. Due to the summer, there were a lot of algae, and the lake water was quite green
Photography: 📷Going further in, I found the popular photo spot~ a road with the sign 'Langyurenjia'. Following this road upwards, you can see the boundless Chaohu Lake, taking photos is really photogenic~
Return trip: ⛴The last boat is at 18:00
🚋The last bus is at 18:30
So I arrived at the pier at 5:30 pm, ready to return. I also saw the sunset, which was absolutely beautiful... You must get to the shore before 18:30, otherwise, you might miss the last evening bus
Food: 🍤Shrimp cakes, 10 yuan for three, I personally think they are quite tasty, and the rice crusts are also fried fresh every day, very tender and crispy, I suggest everyone buy a pack to try

Lushan Island is a pearl on Chaohu Lake in Anhui
Once you get to Lushan Island, you can see the endless lake. There are many snack stalls opposite the pier, and almost every shop sells shrimp cakes and fried knife fish, which are three for 10 yuan, probably a specialty of Chaohu. I bought both to try, but they were a bit greasy and not highly recommended. After eating, I bought two yacht tickets at the ticket office, 60 yuan per person. There are two yachts running back and forth, and there are several speedboats nearby, which look quite exciting. After checking the ticket at the pier, I went directly to the second floor of the yacht, where the view is wider. Later, more and more people came. After about five or six minutes, when there were almost enough people, the boat set off. It was my first time and it felt pretty good, especially when the boat got further and further away from the shore. Seeing the endless lake made me feel open-minded. After about ten or more minutes, we arrived at the pier on the island. After getting off the boat, I sat in the rest hall for a while, then went to a scenic spot called Fishing Village. Inside are some renovated old houses, restaurants, and more accommodations. The roads are very clean and there are not many people, which is quite quiet. Further inside, there is a place where you can see the entire lake, which is particularly suitable for taking pictures. It looks good even with the original camera. In the direction of the center of the island, there is a stone staircase that can be climbed to the top of the mountain. There are forests on the side, which is very cool. There are also some pavilions where you can rest in the middle. After climbing a short distance, I felt a bit tired, so I returned the same way. It was almost four o'clock, so I returned to the Fishing Village and found a restaurant for dinner (because after six o'clock, you can't take a yacht). The boss recommended their noodle fish and silver fish, so we ordered two dishes and a soup. The taste was okay, and the price was definitely a bit more expensive than outside. After dinner, I walked around the mountain road for a long time. I originally wanted to walk around the island, but I didn't expect it to take so long. However, the surrounding scenery was really good. There was a tunnel full of rocks inside, which was quite novel. Later, when I saw that it was almost six o'clock, I chose to take a sightseeing car back to the pier on the island. When I went back, I wanted to experience a speedboat, so I added 10 yuan to take a speedboat. At that point, the sunset had come out. Sitting on the speedboat and watching the sunset was incredibly beautiful. Sisters who go to play must experience the speedboat!! When I got to the shore, I called a Didi. I originally thought I would have to queue for a long time to get a ride, as there were quite a few people playing. I didn't expect to get a ride so quickly. My friend and I spent more than seventy yuan each on the taxi ride back and forth, which was a bit heartbreaking. On the way back, there was a section of road that was super congested, which caused us to sit for almost two hours before we got home. I suggest that friends who go to play should go early and return early to avoid traffic jams.

Shumyip Hot Spring Hotel Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
A moon is scooped out of the hot spring, and it's 1h direct drive around Hefei
In cold weather, my favorite thing is to soak in the hot spring! It snowed a few days ago❄️Outdoor activities are definitely not suitable, after thinking about it, soaking in the hot spring is the most suitable for me🥰This time I came to check in with my friends at the Shenyue Bantang Imperial Spring Resort!☺️The hot spring environment is very clean, full of peace of mind☝️

⛱️: Chaohu Shenyue Bantang Imperial Spring Resort
📍: No. 128, Tangshan Road, Chaohu Economic Development Zone, Hefei City
🚗: It only takes 1 hour to drive from Hefei City

Hot spring recommendation♨️:
The hot spring covers an area of 114 acres, with more than 40 characteristic pools, forming a garden-style outdoor hot spring area with different sizes and shapes, and indoor and outdoor hot spring pools. I love the orchid pool and apple soup pool the most. The fragrance of flowers and the faint fruit smell are very good🍎And there are temperature and time prompts next to each soup pool, which is very warm～
.
👉In addition to the public large soup pool, there are also private soup pools. Bantang Town is a volcanic area with natural geothermal advantages. The back mountain is a dead volcano. It is suitable to bring your own family and lover, and it is very comfortable to soak in the hot spring in the mountain.
.
🏠Accommodation: The accommodation is divided into villa area and hotel. The villa is in Huizhou style, with green mountains and rivers🍃The bedrooms are independently built, with their own soup pools, and you can enjoy the hot springs in the yard, which is quite secluded in the mountains. The hotel is a regular hotel with everything that should be.
.
🍴Dining: There are Chinese and buffet areas for dining. I just caught up with the buffet crab feast at night, 🦀️I ate all kinds of flavored crabs to support! The dining is very diverse, with Chinese, Western, Japanese buffets and various delicacies for you to choose from, even if you are on a diet, you can eat nutritious salads and fruits～
.
There is also a tulip scenic spot near the hot spring, and you can go for a walk if you go during the flowering season!
