Things to do in Nanling

Although the scenic area I visited wasn't large, the discounted package deal was incredibly cost-effective! There weren't many people when I went, so there were no queues for any of the facilities, making for a perfect experience. The rafting only ran once an hour because there were few tourists, and we waited a little while, but it was totally worth it. The glass walkway wasn't very clean, which actually made it less scary, haha. I have to give it five stars, mainly because it's super pet-friendly! I took my dog ​​on the cable car, walked on the glass walkway, went on the glass rafting, and the zipline – everything was seamless and we had a blast!

The environment is fantastic, the air is so fresh, perfect for a relaxing stay. Some of the wood-fired rice dishes are spicy; first-timers should ask. I didn't ask, and my child and I barely ate any. It was too spicy!

Xihe Town is an ancient port in southern Henan Province that is steeped in the fragrance of tea. The long bluestone street winds like a dragon's spine, with old houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties on both sides. The red sandstone wall foundation holds up the carved wooden building, and the tea plaques drying under the eaves are rolling in the green waves. The stone steps of the ancient wharf are submerged in the tributary of the Huaihe River. Although the grand scene of thousands of tea boats in the old days has passed, the sound of the pestle of the laundry woman still breaks the sparkling waves. The most colorful place is the tea market - the beams and pillars of the century-old tea shop are filled with tea smoke, and the rustling sound of the iron pan frying new leaves, the cocoon patterns between the fingers of the tea farmers and the veins of the baskets tremble at the same frequency. The mottled stage of the boat gang hall is hidden in the deep alley, and the residual warmth of the merchant gang's secret language remains under the flying eaves; the broken walls of the ancient village are covered with vines, and golden chrysanthemums and yellow flowers peek out from the gaps in the arrow crevices. There is no pretentious "ancient town" label here, only the shoulder pole bent by the tea basket and the steam rising from the purple clay teapot in the old teahouse, which have boiled 600 years of commercial port memories into mellow tea soup. You can taste the warmth of time in every sip.

The scenery is beautiful!!! 👍👍👍 Great (✪▽✪)!!! High cost performance, beautiful scenery, fun and interesting, overall awesome, first time here!!!

We randomly picked a spot while driving with friends, and it turned out to be the most unforgettable stop on our trip to southern Anhui. There were no crowded tour groups, and we strolled around the cave, joking and laughing. Even the little bats we encountered along the way became fun surprises. This relaxed feeling was truly rare.

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.

I'd seen advertisements for Jingting Mountain many times while passing through Xuancheng, but never actually visited. This time, after traveling along the Anhui-Sichuan-Tibet Highway, I stayed overnight and finally decided to go. Overall, the experience was okay, but it didn't exceed my expectations. I learned about the connections between historical figures like Li Bai and Jingting Mountain, and was particularly surprised to learn about Marshal Chen Yi's relationship with it (see picture). The mountain isn't particularly steep or high; I checked the altitude at the "Summit of Jingting," and it was around 300 meters. Climbing slowly, it took a little over an hour (the time it takes a recently retired person) to reach the top. There's a shuttle bus available from the visitor center to the Shitao Memorial Hall for 10 yuan per person. By the time you reach the Shitao Memorial Hall, you've climbed about two-thirds of the way. Unfortunately, although the morning fog was light, the view from the summit was hazy, with the city's high-rises obscured and only the two suspension bridge towers visible through the thin mist.

There are only two slopes, and you still get soaked. The rest are for the elderly. The green mountains and green waters are quite comfortable. I like the elderly. It is comfortable and cool to lie down all the time. The 30-degree temperature feels like 20 degrees on the boat. The water is a bit dirty when you are about to reach the end. There is a free shuttle bus back to the starting point at the end. If you want to change clothes, you still have to park your car at the end and take the shuttle bus to the starting point.

After a long and tiring journey, I was fortunate to find this gentle haven. The clean room, soft bed, and warm, attentive service offered respite from the outside world, providing a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle. Outside the window, a gentle breeze and the glow of the sunset graced the space; inside, relaxation and tranquility prevailed. This trip was truly worthwhile; I look forward to returning.

It was absolutely worth the climb and spending the night on the mountain to witness the sunrise.If you plan to stay overnight on the mountain, I recommend staying at Guangmingding Hotel or Baiyun Hotel. Take the Yuping Cable Car up and descend via the Yungu Cable Car.However, if you're planning a one-day trip, I recommend taking the Yungu Cable Car up and descending via the Yuping Cable Car instead.
