May Day Jing County Guide: A Lesser-Known Natural Journey in Southern Anhui

The May Day holiday is approaching, and to avoid the crowds as much as possible, you can choose to travel to the lesser-known Jing County. This place is probably the best scenic spot in southern Anhui, and the attractions are not so famous, but they are still worth seeing. It's definitely worth considering for a trip. 👉Taohua Pool The Taohua Pool is a thousand feet deep, but not as deep as Wang Lun's affection for me. Yes, it's in Jing County. Experience the friendship described by the poet Li Bai at the Taohua Pool scenic area. The entire countryside is also very beautiful, with a picturesque combination of lakes and mountains. 👉Chaji Ancient Village 'Why do I choose to live in the green mountains?'

Traveling through the picturesque southern Anhui, the Peach Blossom Pool in Tang poetry!

"The clouds will eventually disperse" is the most appropriate description of my trip to southern Anhui. The thick fog may have made me miss the beautiful scenery along the way. But when I arrived at my destination, Peach Blossom Pool, the noon sun had already dispersed the fog. The Peach Blossom Pool, a thousand feet deep in the poet Li Bai's writing, was clearly presented before me. Located in Jing County, Anhui Province, Peach Blossom Pool. It was here that the poet Li Bai, at the invitation of his friend Wang Lun, visited and left the poem "To Wang Lun", which is about friendship and has been passed down to this day. "Li Bai is about to sail, suddenly hears a song on the shore. The water of Peach Blossom Pool is a thousand feet deep, but it's not as deep as the love Wang Lun has for me." Walking to the ferry of Peach Blossom Pool, you can encounter the ancient tower in Wenchang Pavilion and the first ancestral hall in the world, Zhai's Chinese Ancestral Hall. Walking through the ancient village of a thousand years, you can also meet craftsmen who are doing traditional bamboo weaving on the old street. Strolling in the well-preserved traditional village of southern Anhui, you will unconsciously come to the Song Tower, where you can overlook the ferry where Li Bai left by boat. Taking a boat to the west bank of Peach Blossom Pool, the Wanjia Hotel here is one of the places where Wang Lun and Li Bai met. Wang Lun also told Li Bai that the so-called "Wanjia" Hotel was just a name. But as long as there is friendship, who needs the so-called "Wanjia" Hotel? The beautiful Peach Blossom Pool is not only a witness to the friendship between Li Bai and Wang Lun, but also the place where Wang Lun chose to wait forever. Leaving Wang Lun's tomb, you can take a mountain path to overlook the entire Peach Blossom Pool. Unfortunately, I came to Peach Blossom Pool in winter. The clear streams in the mountains flow into the water of Peach Blossom Pool, and the peach blossoms on both sides of the bank are invisible. When I left, I saw a sign on the side of the road that read, "A night of spring wind comes, and ten miles of peach blossoms bloom". The encounter with the more beautiful Peach Blossom Pool may be in a spring of a future year!

Recommendations for off-the-beaten-path holiday destinations

XuanchengJingtingMountain 1. Yancheng Binhai County, Picture 1 to Picture 4 There are not as many people here as in the urban area of Yancheng, and there are not many attractions, but it is super suitable for self-driving tours. You can see the sea. Although it is a muddy beach, not a sandy beach, there is a lighthouse and a place for BBQ, which is very suitable for self-driving tours. The sunset view is really amazing. Then there is a famous pig's trotter wonton shop on the old street of Binhai, which is very delicious. Huaiyang Tower is also pretty good. 2. Xuancheng, Anhui, Picture 5 to Picture 9 I went there during the National Day holiday, and there were not too many people. You can spend two days in Chaji Ancient Town. The homestay I booked there is very beautiful. The ancient town is not big, but the scenery is amazing. It is very suitable for photo shoots and strolling. Chaji paste is a specialty, you can try it. There is a restaurant called Chaji Renjia which is quite delicious. The Shen Yin Coffee Shop is also a good place to sit. But Chaji Ancient Town is quite far from the station. I didn't plan my trip well, so I ended up taking a taxi for more than 100 kilometers. You can also go to Taohuatan, but I didn't go, so I won't comment. Jingting Mountain is quite low, you can climb up to see the sunrise. It takes half an hour to an hour to climb up, but you need to make a reservation in advance. There will be many elderly people climbing the mountain to exercise, and it's quite interesting to climb with them. The scenery is also quite beautiful.

The vacation spot you absolutely can't miss this Spring Festival

In the cold winter, I chose the new homestay 'Maolin Xiuzhu Rural Resort' in Jing County, Xuancheng, Anhui as my winter vacation spot. Not only does it have a warm homestay design, but also the surrounding natural beauty and rich cultural activities, which made me spend an unforgettable holiday. The first impression of staying in Maolin Xiuzhu is its exquisite courtyard design. Each room is full of strong rural flavor and incorporates modern comfort. I especially like the window that opens to the courtyard. When I wake up in the morning, the first ray of sunlight falls on the bed, warm and comfortable. The environment here is quiet and pleasant, surrounded by greenery, as if in a natural oxygen bar. Every night, I would relax in the small courtyard pool of the homestay, look up at the starry sky, and feel the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle. During my stay, I happened to catch the activities during the Spring Festival. I took my family to participate in parent-child paper cutting and DIY small dragon lanterns, as well as parent-child lion dance and dumpling making. These activities not only made our family of three happy, but also made us deeply feel the charm of traditional culture. Especially the experience of writing couplets and sparklers, it is really an unforgettable memory. The surrounding attractions are rich, Taohuatan Scenic Area, Chaji Ancient Town, Fobao Temple, etc. are all within self-driving range. I chose to go to Taohuatan Scenic Area and Chaji Ancient Town for a walk, strolling through the antique streets, feeling the accumulation of history and the traces of time. In general, 'Maolin Xiuzhu Rural Resort' is a very satisfactory accommodation experience for me. Whether it's design, environment or service, I can feel the host's intentions. If you are also tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and want to find a quiet and comfortable vacation spot, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Peach Blossom Pool, a thousand feet deep. Peach Blossom Pool, as beautiful as a painting in Li Bai's poem!

It's the Peach Blossom Pool, a thousand feet deep, with peach blossoms, rapeseed flowers, Huizhou-style architecture, and it's quite beautiful. No need to add filters, it's already beautiful. The Peach Blossom Pool is divided into the east and west banks, with the Peach Blossom Pool in the middle. You can take a boat for 10 yuan per person, or drive separately. The parking lot in the scenic area is also free. When we went, it was a weekday and there were few tourists. The west bank has Wang Lun's tomb and Huizhou-style architecture, which is very picturesque. The east bank is Nanyang Old Street, ancestral halls, Wenchang Pavilion, and various other attractions. The play time is about 3 hours, strolling and taking photos, it's quite pleasant. Actually, we also went to Jixi to see the terraced rapeseed flowers, but they weren't blooming yet, maybe because the rapeseed fields are on the mountain. The seedlings are still short, and the locals say it will take another ten days or so for them to bloom completely.

#: Li Bai's Taohuatan, poetic staying place # left the famous saying "Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, not as good as Wang Lun." Taohuatan Scenic Spot is located in Xuancheng County, Anhui Province, and Taohuatan Poetry Painting and Landscape Hotel is located in Taohuatan Scenic Area. Li Bai's famous sentence originated from "Gift Wang Lun". This poem is a gift of poem by Li Bai in the county of Anhui Province, which is now in the southern part of Anhui Province. Peach Blossom Lake, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the Huizhou folk houses are hidden between layers of greenery. Feige dangerous building is looming, like the Penglai fairyland, and suspected Wuling people. Walk in the distance, away from the hustle and bustle, enjoy the relaxed and leisurely. Taotan smoke waves make people intoxicated, Taolin spring color makes people nostalgic. Pushing the morning fog, the beautiful scenery of Taohuatan is in sight. Sleeping in the water, indulge in the tranquility and serenity of the soul home.

Visiting Li Huashi's Taohuatan "Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, not as good as Wang Lun sent me", because Li Bai is the first eternal singer, let me make a special trip to visit Taohuatan. Entering the scenic spot, the first to see the antique original ancient town. The vicissitudes of the house, the porch, the cobblestone paved road, the simple villagers living in it, the cute puppy. Everything is so quiet, laid-back, and people like it. After crossing the street, I finally arrived at Taohuatan. It turned out to be a section of the Qingyi River. The river water washed out a river bay here, with a wide water surface and a smooth flow. Because there were several peach trees on the shore in ancient times, it was named Taohuatan. The pool is clear, the egrets are flying in the river, and there are women washing clothes on the riverside. This scene is suspected to be through time and space, and back to ancient times, it is very amazing.
