Things to do in Yingshang

Balihe Tourist Area, a 5A-level scenic area, is located in Yingshang County, Fuyang. It's a combination of natural water town landscapes and man-made miniature landscapes. Logically, to be rated a national 5A-level scenic area, it should possess unique cultural or natural attractions; its "Number One Farmer's Park in the World" is probably its unique selling point. The scenic area consists of a Bird Park (children's playground), a West Zone (world miniature landscapes) (Figure 1), an East Zone (Chinese miniature landscapes) (Figure 2), and twelve flower islands in the lake (Figure 3). We skipped the Bird Park and took the scenic shuttle bus directly to the deepest part, visiting the East Zone first, then the West Zone. In the East Zone, there's a Chinese garden in the Scroll Stone Cave (Figures 4-5), the Zen Buddhist landscape Guanyin Mountain (Figure 6), the Seven Treasures Tathagata Pagoda walkway (Figure 7), the Five Pavilion Bridge modeled after Yangzhou's Slender West Lake, and an elevated glass walkway connecting the East and West Zones (Figure 8), perfect for leisurely exploration. The West End features "World Scenery," including a miniature version of the Sacred Heart Cathedral, the Temple of Zeus, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Grand Canyon.

管仲老街：穿越时光的皖北明珠 踏入管仲老街，仿佛一脚迈进了历史的长河。作为以春秋名相“管仲”命名的文化旅游街区，它将古建风貌、民俗体验与商贸休闲完美融合，成为皖北地区一颗耀眼的文旅新星。 漫步在全长约1.3公里的老街上，明清时期皖北合院民居和商业街建筑的风格扑面而来，青砖灰瓦、飞檐翘角，每一块砖石都诉说着岁月的故事，复原了古慎城的历史风貌，让人不禁联想到当年的繁华盛景，不愧有“安徽版清明上河园”的美誉。景区以管仲文化为核心，管仲纪念馆、颍上民俗展馆等文化节点分布其中。馆内通过雕塑、碑刻、互动展陈等形式，生动展现了管仲的生平及治国思想，让游客在游览中能深入了解这位春秋名相的传奇一生 ，“管鲍分金”“老马识途”等成语故事的展示，也为老街增添了浓厚的文化韵味。 这里不仅有丰富的文化内涵，还有多彩的民俗体验。国家级非遗花鼓灯、大鼓书、琴书、快板、推剧等轮番上演，让游客沉浸式感受传统文化的魅力。在老街，还能看到糖画、李氏酿酒工艺等非遗传承人的现场展示。节假日的河道花船、古典婚礼秀更是热闹非凡，整条街都沉浸在欢乐的海洋中。此外，老街的美食也不容错过，管仲贡鹅用24味香料卤制，肉质紧实；颍上米粉配荆芥和酱豆，酸辣鲜香，让人垂涎欲滴。 夜幕降临，老街又是另一番迷人景象。千盏灯笼亮起，灯光倒映在外城河面，水波荡漾，光影摇曳，如梦如幻。此时乘坐游船穿行于拱桥之下，仿佛穿越回古代，惬意又浪漫。 管仲老街虽然在文旅融合上表现出色，但也存在一些小瑕疵。比如规模较小，核心景点不过800米，两三个小时就能逛完，内容略显单薄；商业气息偏重，部分商品和小吃价格偏高。不过，总体而言，管仲老街仍不失为一个值得一游的好去处，它让人们在喧嚣的现代生活中，寻得一处静谧的历史港湾，感受传统文化的独特魅力。

Nice place, you can go and have a look if you have time.

Digou Scenic Area is a national 4A-level scenic area. With its rich Buddhist culture, the exquisite Arhat Hall of Zhuyin Temple, and the rich flora and fauna of the ecological park, it's a great destination for family outings.

Wulihu Ecological Wetland Park is located close to the west of Yingshang County, 1 km from the S12 Chuxin Expressway in the north and Balihe Scenic Area in the south. It is divided into three parts: the urban forest in the north, the water town in the middle, and the wetland paradise in the south. The north and middle sections are open to visitors, and the south section is still under construction. The vegetation in the wetland park is lush. The lotus in summer is not specially enclosed in a piece of land for people to appreciate like other wetland parks, but is scattered throughout the river. You need to discover it yourself. In autumn, the golden wheat on the bank matures, presenting a beautiful rural scene.

The staff has a good service attitude, the projects inside are fun, and the environment is beautiful. It is worth bringing the whole family to play. The projects here are particularly fun, such as the six-color skateboard and the big speaker. You can play with your friends. Balihe Water World yyds

One of the three famous towers south of the Yangtze River, this Wuhan landmark truly lives up to its name. The tower is magnificent and imposing; from its summit, one can enjoy panoramic views of the Yangtze River Bridge and the three towns of Wuhan. The park is rich in inscriptions and murals, imbued with the poetic beauty of Cui Hao's poems. By day, it exudes ancient charm; by night, it is dazzling with lights. The park's pathways are gentle, and the amenities are thoughtful. A must-see when visiting Wuhan, it's an unforgettable experience.

Stepping into Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden is like opening a living "Dongjing Menghualu" (The Eastern Capital: A Dream of Splendor), with every step resonating with the bustling prosperity of a thousand years ago. Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden is a time labyrinth that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the Northern Song Dynasty; once you enter, you'll never want to leave.

It's very worthwhile, but it's also very crowded, which might slightly detract from the overall experience. However, the people are incredibly welcoming, and there are many beautiful spots for taking photos. The food is also affordable and inexpensive, which kids enjoy. I'll definitely go back when it's less crowded.
