Things to do in Wuhe

100 yuan is alright; the scenery is quite nice, with lots of swans and ducks. Sitting on the boat, listening to the boatwoman's explanations, was very comfortable. After it rained at the Twenty-Four Bridges, we transferred to the park's shuttle bus. It cost 20 yuan and took about 10 minutes. After that, I explored the surrounding area on my own. If you have enough time and energy, I think exploring on foot and slowly appreciating the scenery would be very pleasant.

The overall price is too high for tourists who only want to spend a day there. There isn't much scenery to see, and it's far inferior to Huangshan. It's not even as good as Qiyun Mountain, a Taoist holy site. In fact, Buddhist holy sites are just places for burning incense and worshipping Buddha. In short, some people think it's worth it, while others find it uninteresting.

We were very fortunate that our top guide today was Ms. Dong Ling. Her professional expertise was solid; she didn't just recite from memory. She eloquently explained the stories and archaeological backgrounds behind each of the museum's treasures, making dry history vivid and easy to understand. My son and I deeply experienced the thousand-year history of Nanjing. Highly recommended!

It's pretty good, quite fun. It's a small island, quite large, with many Buddha statues and other attractions, but climbing the mountain can be a bit tiring. You have to take a boat to get there, so it might not be the most exciting part, but it's still a nice place to relax alone on the weekend.

The Confucius Temple and Jiangnan Examination Hall along the Qinhuai River in Nanjing offer stunning nighttime views. A stroll through them in the gentle autumn breeze is incredibly pleasant. There are free performances and some attractions that charge admission, so you can choose what to do. In short, anyone visiting Nanjing should definitely check them out.

If you haven't been there, it's worth a visit. It's a famous spot in Nanjing, always packed with people. As for the boat tour, if you haven't been before, you can take a ride, but it's probably a one-time thing, so the price isn't great. It's a 40-minute round trip on the boat, listening to the announcements, watching the night view of the Qinhuai River, with its many bridges along the banks. You can learn about history, see the waterscape and night view, and soak in the atmosphere.

Sanhe Ancient Town is a free ancient town near Hefei that's well worth visiting. With its charming canals, ancient streets, and alleys, it exudes a captivating atmosphere. You can stroll along the cobblestone paths, visit historical residences, and sample local delicacies such as rice dumplings, rice wine, and dried tea. It's not overly commercialized, making for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Overall, it offers great value for money and is perfect for a short trip to experience the charm of a Jianghuai water town.

I visited twenty years ago. In those twenty years, scenic spots across the country have undergone tremendous changes, but the Three Confucian Sites seem to have made little progress. The Confucius Cemetery looks like a mountain in the suburbs; besides Confucius's tomb, there's not much to see. The Confucius Mansion is basically a Republican-era style; everything is new. Compared to other grand sites like the Qiao Family Compound and the Zhu Family Garden, it's nothing. The Confucius Temple is alright, with history and artifacts. The entire scenic area reeks of horse urine, and the roads are covered in tree sap that sticks to your shoes. This was supposed to be one of the earliest 5A-level scenic areas!

Encountering Tuohu Wetland is indeed a pleasant surprise. Under the background of ecological protection, local governments have raised awareness of wetland park protection and improved construction at a rapid pace. Tuohu Wetland is blessed with beautiful natural scenery, strong cultural atmosphere, rich water quality and pleasant climate. It is one of the few natural ecological wetlands in northern Anhui, and the best place for tourists to travel, vacation, family gatherings, and leisure.

The biggest surprise of my trip to Xuzhou was undoubtedly the Guishan Han Tomb, absolutely worth a special trip. The ancients carved this Chu king's mausoleum into the mountainside, a feat of engineering that is truly astonishing. The long, straight, and orderly passageway, with its tightly joined stones, showcases the superb craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty artisans. The tomb chambers are clearly divided into functional areas, and the dense chisel marks on the stone walls are all imprints left from two thousand years ago. The guide's engaging explanations of the tomb's occupant's story and the fascinating legends surrounding the stone walls' illusions keep the experience entertaining. A visit to the Imperial Edict Museum is also included, with its impressive collection. The overall tour is of moderate length and not too tiring; history buffs shouldn't miss this place.
