Surrendered to the charm of Chinese aesthetics! I want to spend my days idly in this small Jiangnan town!

🏡✨When it comes to Southern Anhui, many people think of Huangshan first, but this treasure of a small city, Tongling, located 100 kilometers away from Huangshan, gave me my first taste of the true Jiangnan outside of Huangshan. 🏡✨The architecture of this town is filled with the style of the Jiangnan region during the Ming and Qing dynasties. To me, this is truly the epitome of Chinese romanticism. The grey brick horse-head walls are the romance of Chinese architecture etched in the bones, and the rich ancient style is just like bringing Tang and Song poetry into reality. Yongquan Town is like a natural ink painting. 🏡✨There is a sense of a slow life here that is unconcerned with the world, where one can do nothing for days on end, because everyone's life should have a period of time to be idly spent in Jiangnan... After all, Yongquan Town was designed by a farmer who spent 15 small goals and 20 years to create it himself. 🏡✨Yongquan Town in spring is really suitable for staying a while to clear one's mind, and the azaleas have already bloomed throughout the town, with their bright reds decorating the lush green town with an extra touch of romance. Tips: 📍✨Address: Yongquan Tourism and Holiday Area, Tongling City, Anhui Province 📍✨Azalea blooming period: Every April, lasting about two weeks 🎫✨Tour strategies and routes: Route one: D1: Jiangnan flavor - Jiangnan homestay - Buffet - Night talk by the bonfire - Jiubao Hot Springs D2: Breakfast the next day - Memories of Jiangnan's 12 Scenic Spots Route two: D1: Jiangnan homestay - Buffet - Night talk by the bonfire - Jiubao Hot Springs D2: Breakfast the next day - Memories of Jiangnan's 12 Scenic Spots - Jiangnan flavor 🎫✨Must-visit spots in the town: 1️⃣ Memories of Jiangnan's 12 Scenic Spots The azaleas blooming all over the mountains in the greenery, bringing infinite poetry and romance, the rich ancient style and the vibrant spring colors of the mountain forests and streams, every step offers a view, making one linger and forget to return. 2️⃣ Jiubao Hot Springs Taking a bath in the hot springs among the mountains and forests is the real vacation. Here you not only have beautiful Jiangnan architecture, but also a real hot spring that relaxes the body and mind, especially beautiful at sunset. 3️⃣ Jiangnan Homestay Staying in the Jiangnan architecture of grey bricks and black tiles is the ultimate romance. The quiet and elegant courtyard, with its private hot spring, allows you to enjoy a peaceful holiday~ 4️⃣ Jiangnan Flavor The biggest feature is that you must use ancient copper coins to buy the food, which is really super ceremonial. Holding copper coins, traversing through time, tasting the flavors of Jiangnan~ 5️⃣ Night Tour and Lantern Appreciation The old street at night changes from the seriousness of the daytime Jiangnan buildings, with colorful lights and decorations, making Yongquan Town very attractive at night.
