M52***87The 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!
4.7/5M52***87One of the treasures of the Anhui Provincial Museum The design is very unique. It seems that there are very few artifacts related to "drums" from the same period in Henan (lacquerware similar to the style of Zeng Hou Yi and Mawangdui artifacts have been unearthed in Xinyang, but they seem rare elsewhere? There are many chime bells and chime stones, perhaps because drum stands are difficult to preserve...). The signature artifact, the "Cloud Pattern Five-Column Shaped Vessel" It looks a bit like a Lego dragon head? An animal head? A shaped vessel. A very cute little dog? A tiger? The bronzes are indeed different from the traditional Central Plains style, showing a strong fusion of northern and southern characteristics. (And the bronze formula is probably different, and the soil in which they were buried is also different, so sometimes a strange blue patina appears. The most typical example is probably the "Four Vessels of E Hou," but E Hou was from Hubei, while E Jun Qi was from Anhui. I don't know what their relationship is... maybe because they were both from E?) The cultural and creative products for the E Jun Qi Festival are very beautiful! There's a fun little game about E Jun Qi upstairs, suitable for children!

Anonymous userWe went there by speedboat 🚤. The island isn't big, and a full circumnavigation takes about 2-3 hours. The scenery is beautiful, but for some reason, spiders are everywhere 🕷, with spider webs everywhere 🕸. If you're afraid of insects, I recommend taking the electric buggy around; otherwise, you'll be completely terrified by all the bugs...
4.6/5Anonymous userI 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.

BEIZYThere weren't many tourists when I visited, and the park was very beautiful. Climbing to the pagoda atop the mountain offers a panoramic view of the riverside scenery. The park also features cultural elements related to Li Bai. Overall, it's a great place for relaxation and rejuvenation.

把剑长歌There's construction going on at the entrance of the scenic area, making the roads narrow and prone to scratches. It's not a senior-friendly area. The elevators are in the parking lot; you can only tell people when you get to the ticket gate—isn't that inconvenient? You enter from the south gate and exit from the east gate; this should be stated beforehand. The staff's service awareness is poor.

M50***70Hongshan Zoo: A Healing Journey to Reconcile with Nature In this fast-paced urban life, Hongshan Zoo is like a carefully nurtured oasis, providing a rare haven for weary souls. It's more than just a simple visit; it's a profound dialogue about life, respect, and coexistence, inspiring a deeper reverence and love for nature. Upon entering the park, one is immediately struck by its "human-centered, animal-first" design philosophy. Unlike the fenced layout of traditional zoos, Hongshan Zoo cleverly utilizes the terrain to create a near-natural habitat for the animals. Whether it's the giant pandas leisurely basking in the depths of a dense bamboo forest or the African lions running freely in a simulated grassland environment, every detail reveals a deep concern for animal welfare. This "immersive" viewing experience makes one feel as if they are in a vivid nature documentary, experiencing the most primal charm of life. Particularly noteworthy is Hongshan Zoo's efforts in animal conservation and education. The park features multiple science education exhibition areas, conveying rich ecological knowledge to visitors through illustrated panels, interactive installations, and regular animal behavior explanations. Children can not only observe various rare animals up close but also learn the importance of protecting biodiversity, planting seeds of love for nature in their hearts from a young age. Furthermore, Hongshan Zoo's innovative practices in animal welfare are truly admirable. From providing a wide variety of enrichment toys to implementing scientific feeding and management programs, every detail reflects meticulous consideration of the animals' psychological and physiological needs. Seeing animals that were injured or rescued in the wild regain their health and vitality here evokes a warm feeling, a sense of awe at the tenacity and miracle of life. Of course, the beauty of Hongshan Zoo lies not only in its animals but also in its beautiful natural scenery and humanized service facilities. Strolling along tree-lined paths, breathing in the fresh air, and listening to the distant birdsong provides an unprecedented sense of relaxation. The well-equipped rest areas, clean restrooms, and thoughtful guided tours make the entire visit more comfortable and convenient. What's most moving is that Hongshan Zoo is more than just a place to exhibit animals; it's a platform advocating for harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Through its actions, it tells us that every life deserves respect, and every piece of nature deserves to be cherished. Here, we not only witness the cuteness and wisdom of animals, but also humanity's responsibility and commitment to nature. In short, Hongshan Zoo is a spiritual cleansing, a healing journey of reconciliation with nature. It allows us to find a moment of tranquility in our busy lives and gives us a deeper understanding and love for the world. If you're also looking for a place where your mind can relax and your horizons can broaden, then Hongshan Zoo is undoubtedly your best choice.

M63***86Jiming Temple, located on the eastern slope of Jilong Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, is also known as Ancient Jiming Temple. Founded in the Western Jin Dynasty, it is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing, historically renowned as the "First Temple of the Southern Dynasties" and the foremost of the "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples of the Southern Dynasties," serving as a Buddhist center in China during that period. While the existing historical sites are few, the newly constructed buildings are quite impressive, with a harmonious and well-arranged layout and exquisitely carved Buddha statues.

320***46This free park is no less beautiful than West Lake, and its scenery is charming in all four seasons. In summer, there are lotus flowers; in autumn, there are ginkgo trees; in the rose garden, there are roses; in the bonsai garden, there are chrysanthemums. Walking around the lake for exercise or taking a boat trip on the lake is very pleasant!
