Li Hongzhang's former residence is located in the middle section of the bustling Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street in Hefei City. It is a typical residential building in the Jianghuai region in the late Qing Dynasty. Li Hongzhang was born in Hefei. He was an important military official in the late Qing Dynasty and a leader of the Westernization Movement. His five brothers also held high positions. At that time, the Li family residence was known as "Half a Street of Li Mansions". Unfortunately, only a few houses are left now. But you can still admire the exquisite wood carvings in Zoumalou, visit the exhibition about Li Hongzhang, and learn about his life with mixed reputations.

I took my children to Hefei Sunac Land for fun during the May Day holiday. The coupons for the group tour on Tik Tok were super cost-effective, including hotel + tickets + buffet. The park is not particularly large, but the project has a high floor area ratio. Basically, there are all kinds of exciting projects you want to play. If you don’t want to queue, you can scan the code to buy quick pain. The average price of each project is ¥50-60, which is quite cost-effective overall.

Laoshan Island is located in the center of Chaohu Lake. The island is covered with lush forests and is an "oasis on the lake" of the 800-li Chaohu Lake. Besides its beautiful natural environment, Laoshan Island also has rich cultural landscapes. The natural shelter "Nanlu", the popular Shengfei Temple built overlooking the lake, and the Wenfeng Tower on the top of the mountain are all worth checking in.

Business hours: Open from 08:00 to 17:00 tomorrow

evaluate:

1. Stunning natural scenery: Laoshan Island is known as the "first scenic spot in the lake and sky". It is the largest island in Chaohu Lake and has a unique landform of "three mountains and nine peaks". It is evergreen all year round, just like an "oasis on the lake". In spring, the sea of roses stretches for kilometers, and in autumn, the forests are dyed with colors. The scenery of lakes and mountains complement each other, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts.

- "The sea of roses is so beautiful, every shot is a blockbuster!"
- "The combination of humanity and nature is just right, more interesting than a purely commercial scenic spot."

Sanhe Ancient Town is located about 40 kilometers south of Hefei city. It is named after the Fengle River, Hangbu River and Xiaonan River that flow through it. The ancient town was developed from the ancient wharf on Sanhe River and has a history of more than 2,500 years. It was named Que'an in the Spring and Autumn Period and was called Sanhe Town in the Ming Dynasty. In 1858, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom defeated the Qing army here, which was called the "Sanhe Victory." The old streets of the ancient town are paved with bluestone slabs, which have been polished smooth by the pressure of pedestrians and vehicles for thousands of years. The Hui-style buildings on both sides are unique, and many of them are made of exposed blue bricks directly into the walls. The flying eaves on the horse-head walls are much more exaggerated than those on the horse-head walls in Hongcun and Xidi.

Address: Sanhang Road, Sanhe Town, Feixi County, Hefei City

Opening hours: 24 hours a day, all year round

I guess I once stayed at Mr. Yang's grandmother's house. The house is well preserved and the family is wealthy. Mainly looking at display boards introducing family and personal life, there are not many real objects. It happened that there was a commentary, which made the lecture more lively and interesting.

The new building of Anhui Provincial Museum is located on Huaining Road, Shushan District, Hefei City. Its architectural shape embodies the unique style of Hui style architecture with five directions connected and four rivers returning to the hall. After the opening, the museum launched a basic exhibition - "Anhui Civilization History Exhibition", special thematic exhibitions - "Ancient Architecture of Huizhou", "Xin'an School of Painting", "Four Treasures of the Study of Anhui" and "Treasures of Jianghuai".

Address: No. 87 Huaining Road, Hefei City, Anhui Province

Anhui Museum, located in Shushan District, Hefei City, is a large comprehensive museum that integrates the past and the present, and integrates collection, research and display. The architectural design of the new museum is also very distinctive, cleverly combining traditional Huizhou architectural style with modern fashion elements, becoming a new landmark in Hefei. The exhibition hall now has an Anhui History and Culture Exhibition, which comprehensively displays the cultural development of Anhui from ancient times to modern times according to the timeline, which is both systematic and exciting.

Hefei Wildlife Park is located on the southwestern foot of Dashu Mountain. Taking advantage of the good ecological environment of Dashu Mountain, the zoo is also lush with trees and the terrain is winding and undulating. The entire park is very large and has a wide variety of animals, but some species are not numerous. Since Hefei itself does not have many famous tourist attractions, places like this one that are suitable for parent-child travel are crowded during holidays. You can buy feed to feed the gentle little animals, stroll along the unique viaduct to overlook the free-range beasts, and enjoy wonderful animal performances. The zoo has two gates, east and west, and more buses stop at the east gate. Spring and autumn are good seasons for visiting, when animals are more active. For example, spring is the mating season, and it is easier to see peacocks spreading their feathers. In summer and winter, animals like to hide and sleep. It is very interesting to watch the animals during meal time, as the keepers will tease them into doing various performances. Enter from the east gate, pass the peacock garden, and come to the herbivore area, where you can see precious elk, cute alpacas and other animals. Don’t miss the penguin house, where penguins swim right in front of visitors through the floor-to-ceiling glass. You can get close to birds in the Bird Park in the west. Buy some feed and let the swans and ducks peck at the food in your palm. The aviary is surrounded by primates, including palm-sized squirrel monkeys, large-faced mandrills, clever chimpanzees, and nearly a hundred Japanese monkeys, which always make visitors laugh. The northern part of the park mainly houses large beasts. The viewing viaduct on the east side is for tourists to walk on. Siberian tigers and African lions are strolling freely under the bridge. If you are lucky, you can see the "famous scene of Hefei Wildlife Park" where black bears and deer live together.

Address: No. 600, Wangjiang West Road, Shushan District, Hefei City, Anhui Province

Business hours: Open from 08:30 to 17:30 tomorrow (ticket sales stop at 16:40; admission stops at 17:10)

It is worth recommending, there is a sea lion show inside! But go early! There will be a lot of people late at night during holidays, and you will have to queue for ticket checking. A must-have for family outings! It can dissipate children's energy, it is the best choice! ! ! !
