Trip Moments in Shucheng
A Road Trip from Hefei to Wanfo Lake.
“Exploring around Hefei | Embark on a gorgeous and serene getaway 🌊 Escape the city hustle this weekend, and lose yourself in the freedom of mountains and water!”
When I arrived at Wanfoyuan, it was close to the evening, but I still felt the scenery was charming. The place with the lake always feels good to you. Wanfo Lake is surrounded by mountains, with artificial earth dams, Wanfo stone forest, cliff stone carvings, Glen New Moon, Wenjiadun and Longwangshu Neolithic Sites, Meishan Xiaoyan, Longbaishan Road, Zuoci Fishing Terrace and Guanyin Cave. Dozens of natural landscapes and cultural landscapes such as Renma, Cuijuling, Bailuzhou, Meiling Power Station, spillway, and horn rushing into the sluice. Wanfo Lake is a collection of mountains, water, springs, rocks, cliffs, ponds, caves, forests, flowers and water conservancy facilities.

DAY 5|Wanfo Lake Island Cruise & Return Trip🚢 Wanfo Lake is a 5A scenic area. The core experience is the dam view + boat trip to the islands! The large boat regularly stops at three beautiful islands: Swallow Island, Zhouyu Island, and Dragon King Island. The entire trip takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. The island trails are easy to walk on, making it perfect for a family outing!👨👩👧 ▫️09:00-09:40【Dam Tour】 Upon entering the park, you must visit the world's first man-made earthen dam—the Longhekou Reservoir Dam‼️ You can also visit the reservoir memorial hall to learn about the heroic history of the 100,000 builders who carried and pushed the dam by hand. It's a great opportunity to bring children for a water conservancy education📚 If time permits, you can also climb the Longhe Tower for a panoramic view of the entire lake and islands—a first-class view! 🌄 ▫️09:40-12:00【Island Tour by Boat from the Pier, Visiting the Three Major Islands】 ✅First Stop: Swallow Island (Bird Island for Families)🐦 Resembling a swallow spreading its wings when viewed from the air, it's a top choice for family trips! The island's bird park offers close-up views of peacocks🦚 and features a peacock flight performance. Children can feed and interact with the peacocks. A cultural and artistic exhibition hall plus small animals—it's a complete experience for both adults and children! ✅Second Stop: Zhou Yu Island (Three Kingdoms Culture Island)🏯 Themed around the culture of Zhou Yu from the Three Kingdoms period, several small islands are connected by floating bridges. Taking photos while walking on the floating bridges is incredibly photogenic📸 We even encountered folk artists performing against the backdrop of ancient architecture—the atmosphere was perfect! You can visit Zhou Yu's Study Building and the Three Mounds, and listen to stories from the Three Kingdoms period. The island also features a popular zipline across the lake; adventurous kids can try it out and experience the thrill of skimming across the water! 💨 ✅Third Stop: Dragon King Island (Largest View Island) 🏝️ The largest of the three islands, it focuses on dragon culture 🐉 With its ancient-style corridors, dragon sculptures, and flower-lined walkways, climb to the viewing platform for a panoramic view of the entire Wanfo Lake archipelago – a truly picturesque scene! There are rest areas on the island where you can relax and enjoy the lake view before returning to the pier. ▫️12:00-13:00【Lunch】🍲 Back near the scenic area, be sure to try Wanfo Lake's signature fish head! The fish soup was milky white and incredibly delicious; even Su Su's eyebrows would fall off from the sip! 🤤 ▫️After 13:00: Enjoy the lake and mountain scenery one last time. The Anhui West trip concludes perfectly, and we return home with wonderful memories! 🧳 💡Travel Notes ▪️Wanfo Lake is located in Shouxian County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province (Address: Wanfo Lake Scenic Area, Shouxian County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province). Opening hours are generally 8:00-17:30. Remember to check the opening hours before you go. ▪️The temperature difference between day and night is significant in the mountains. Remember to bring a light jacket and comfortable shoes for hiking; bring a change of clothes for children playing in the water when visiting waterfalls and canyons. ▪️The Red Museum is closed on Mondays; remember to avoid visiting on holidays. ▪️Hanging pot, mountain bamboo shoots, acorn tofu, and fish head are must-try local delicacies. ▪️Wanfo Lake boat tours have fixed schedules; it's recommended to take them in the morning to avoid afternoon queues; the island is sunny twice a day, so be sure to wear sunscreen! ☀️ #NewYearDestinations2026 #travel2026
