TTianfengyangguang: The hotel is in a very good location, opposite Yulong Plaza and Yinxing International Plaza, which is very convenient for dining and shopping. The garden hotel covers a large area, has good greenery, a large parking lot and free parking. The hotel service is very unique. After checking in, the front desk will give you heated mineral water, which makes you feel very warm. The layout of the hotel is a bit complicated, and the concierge helped with the luggage and delivered it to the room. The room comes with a complimentary fruit plate, yogurt and warm water for the night, as well as warm Tremella soup to warm your heart. There are daily weather reminders, Xiaodu butler service, and the bed is comfortable. The hotel's breakfast is rich and delicious, and the mutton soup and spicy soup are delicious. The hotel's decoration is a bit old and has not kept up with the times, which is a bit of a pity for staying in the hotel. The hotel room rate is very cheap, great value for money and very cost-effective.

When Hongcun’s Moon Pond is packed with tourists like a "photo studio," and Xidi’s archways fall silent amid the noise, why not drive 10 kilometers to Zhanqi Ancient Village in Shexian County for an intangible cultural heritage feast of the "One Night Fish-Dragon Dance"? This is not a trendy check-in spot, but it carries a millennium-old cultural lineage named after the Book of Songs; no admission fee is required here, yet you can personally craft a fish lantern and "swim" into the festive atmosphere of Huizhou to the beat of 800 years of drums. If you also believe that "the phoenix flute sounds, the jade pot light turns" is more than just Xin Qiji’s poem, then take this guide and have a millennia-spanning date with Zhanqi’s fish lanterns~ · -- 🚗 Transportation Guide | A Book of Songs Ancient Village Accessible by Car Take the high-speed train to "Shexian North Station" or "Huangshan North Station," then a 15-minute taxi ride (about 30 RMB) to the village; or drive directly by navigating to "Zhanqi Village," exit the Hangrui Expressway at "Huizhou," and enter the village in 5 minutes. There is free parking at the village entrance, but it fills up after 9:00 AM on holidays, so it’s recommended to arrive early or park at villagers’ homes (10-20 RMB/day). The ancient village is open all day for free with no reservation needed! · -- 📸 Must-Visit Spots | Every Frame Looks Like a Scene from "The Longest Day in Chang’an" 1️⃣ Dunmu Hall · Fish Lantern Parade (Core Experience!) The Wang family ancestral hall with 800 years of history, where the fish lantern team "parades" out every night at 7:00 PM. Three-meter-long red fish (symbolizing joy and harmony) and green fish (symbolizing spring’s return) roll and leap to the sound of drums and gongs, performing moves like "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate" and "Dragon Tail Swing." Best photo spots: at the hall’s entrance to capture the lanterns "emerging from the cave," or squeeze into the parade to touch the fish heads—"Touch the fish head, and all worries disappear"! 2️⃣ Tiger Alley · Hometown of Scholars Zhanqi’s best-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty alley, winding with bluestone paths and white walls with black tiles, has produced 18 scholars. The dappled light during the day is perfect for photos; wearing Hanfu and carrying a fish lantern here feels like traveling back to the imperial examination era filled with "the roar of tiger-like study sounds." 3️⃣ Fish Lantern DIY Workshop · Handmade Intangible Heritage At the "Fish-to-Dragon Fish Lantern Workshop," personally craft the bamboo frame, paste cotton paper, and paint fish scales, experiencing the entire process from skeleton to finished product (about 1.5 hours, fee 80-120 RMB). You can take your fish lantern home and even join the evening parade to immerse yourself in the joy of "swimming fish." 4️⃣ Zhanqi Academy · Cultural Heritage The century-old academy at the village entrance is now a café and cultural space. Order a "Fish Lantern Latte" and flip through the Book of Songs · Wei Feng — "Look at the depths of Qi, the green bamboo lush and tall," from which the village’s name originates. The second-floor terrace offers a panoramic view of the ancient village, especially soothing at sunset. · -- 💡 Travel Tips | Avoid Pitfalls ✅ Time Planning: The traditional fish lantern parade runs from the 2nd to the 18th day of the first lunar month, but starting 2025, a "Weekly Show" will be held every Saturday at 7:00 PM, with extra shows during holidays like May Day and National Day. Confirm the schedule before you go. ✅ Off-Peak Travel: The Spring Festival Golden Week sees huge crowds (73,000 visitors in 2025), so it’s best to visit on weekdays or arrive before 4:00 PM. Explore ancient buildings and make fish lanterns during the day, then watch the parade at night for a full experience without wasting time. ✅ Dress Suggestions: Hanfu, qipao, or modern Chinese-style clothing are best for photos; red or green colors matching the fish lanterns look even better. Bring a fill light or use flash for night portraits to avoid underexposed faces. ✅ Souvenirs: Fish lantern fridge magnets, Huimo fish lantern cultural products (collaboration with Lao Hu Kaiwen Ink Factory), and freshly made stone cakes (especially with preserved vegetable filling) are cheaper and more authentic than those in Hongcun. · -- 🍜 Food Recommendations | Taste of Huizhou ✅ Stone Cake: Made and grilled fresh at the village entrance, golden brown on an electric griddle, with fillings like preserved vegetables, chives, or amaranth, 5 RMB each for a full meal. ✅ Topped Noodles: A Huizhou specialty from street stalls, topped with dried bamboo shoots, tofu, and shredded meat, with a fresh and rich broth. ✅ Huizhou Local Dishes: Recommended "Nine Generations Under One Roof" farmhouse restaurant, serving stinky mandarin fish, fermented tofu, and knife-cut sausage, about 50 RMB per person for a hearty meal. · -- 🌃 Nearby Highlights | Shexian Weekend Essentials Zhanqi Village → Huizhou Ancient City (Xuguo Stone Archway, Doushan Street) → Yuliang Dam (Yuliang Fish Lantern) → Yangchan Tulou. A two-day tour covering Shexian’s most cultural ancient villages and landscapes, experiencing the charm of the birthplace of "Huixue" (Huizhou learning). · -- 🌿 Final Words "Jade pot light turns, one night fish-dragon dance." When 800-year-old fish lanterns weave through the bluestone alleys, and the drumbeats mingle with tourists’ cheers, you suddenly understand: the true flavor of the New Year is never just firecrackers and red envelopes, but the simplest wish for "abundance every year" hidden in each fish lantern. This Spring Festival, don’t go to the overcrowded Hongcun; come to Zhanqi Ancient Village and let the 800-year-old fish lanterns tell you—some traditions are worth passing down through generations and sharing with your loved ones under the glowing lights~

Transfer to the scenic shuttle bus (round trip about 30 RMB) to enter the dreamlike Maihuayu Village. · Afternoon: Maojialing Ancient Trail is the best circular path overlooking the Plum Blossom Valley. The entire route is flat and takes about 30 minutes, ideal for a leisurely walk with parents.

Walk with your parents through Yanghe Gate and Xuguo Stone Archway, and learn about history at the Huizhou Prefecture Office, taking a slower pace. · Afternoon: Drive to Zhanqi Village. This is an important national intangible cultural heritage site for the “Wang Mantian Fish Lantern.” Even during the day, the quaint streets and exquisite fish lantern models are perfect for photos.

The reflection on Yongxing Lake is very beautiful. · Afternoon: Stroll around the village, admire the Ming and Qing dynasty old houses, and end the trip at a comfortable pace. · ✨ Parent experience highlight: The peacefulness and harmony of Chengkan contrast with the liveliness of the previous two days, offering a different side of Huizhou villages. Core Experience Deep Guide 🌸 Maihuayu Village: More than just flower photography, understand the flowers · Best time: February is peak bloom, most beautiful around the Spring Festival. After rain, early mornings often have mist, creating a fairyland atmosphere. · Photography tips: ◦ Maojialing Viewing Platform: Capture panoramic views of the valley, majestic and grand. ◦ Village Bonsai Garden: Photograph the combination of plum blossoms and Huizhou-style bonsai for an elegant touch. ◦ Family photos with parents: Choose spots with stone paths and plum blossoms as background, let them walk naturally or sit, capturing warm moments. 🏮 Fish Lantern Ancient Villages: Zhanqi and Chengkan · Zhanqi Village: Strong fish lantern cultural atmosphere, daytime photos of fish lantern decorations in alleys, and if you catch the parade at night, it’s a rare top experience. · Chengkan Ancient Village: Besides the Bagua layout, it also features fish lantern elements. By Yongxing Lake, with ancient buildings and fish lanterns as background, you can take very peaceful and artistic photos. 🍜 Taste of Huizhou New Year · Must-try dishes: Stinky mandarin fish, Mao tofu (requires courage to try), Huizhou salted pork sausage, stone ear mushroom stewed with native chicken. · Snacks: Shexian stone cake, wrapped dumplings. · Dining tips: The county town has many options with reasonable prices; restaurants in ancient villages mostly serve farmhouse dishes, worth trying. 💡 Super thoughtful tips for traveling with parents 1. Transportation is key: It’s recommended to self-drive or charter between attractions for flexibility and ease. During peak season at Maihuayu Village, strictly take the shuttle bus as required. 2. Book accommodation early: Spring Festival is peak season, so book county town hotels in advance. 3. Slow down the pace: Focus on 1-2 spots per day, allow plenty of rest time. Mainly walking, prepare non-slip comfortable walking shoes for parents. 4. Prepare cultural “translation”: Learn some Huizhou culture and fish lantern legends beforehand to share with your parents on the way, greatly enhancing their experience. 5. Weather and warmth: Southern Anhui winters are damp and cold, especially in mountainous areas. Bring down jackets, hats, scarves, and heat packs for your parents. When you walk under the plum blossom trees with your parents, watching them excitedly point out different colored blossoms like children; when the fish lanterns in the ancient village light up, reflecting on their focused and joyful faces—you will realize the best New Year gift is this shared, vivid memory. This Spring Festival, go to Huizhou with your parents and celebrate the most authentic Chinese New Year amid flowers and lanterns. Huizhou Plum Blossom Fish Village Seeking the New Year Flavor

"A half-acre pond, like a mirror, reflects the sky and clouds." The Spring Festival in Shuyuan Village embodies the most authentic poetic beauty of Huizhou. This ancient village, "surrounded by mountains on all sides and encircled by a stream," is like the Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming. Udumbara Valley, nestled within this secluded paradise, embraces the natural beauty of the mountains and waters with a rustic luxury, connecting the fish lantern festival scenes of Chengkan and Xixinan, making the Spring Festival journey full of the romance of "poetry and distant places." The rustic luxury of the guesthouse is a gentle embrace of nature. White-walled, black-tiled courtyards are built against the mountain, with bluestone paths winding through babbling streams. Scenes of "the bright moon shining among the pines, the clear spring flowing over the stones" are everywhere. The public tea room is set up by the window, with thousands of bamboo stalks outside, their shadows swaying in the wind. Brew a pot of Qimen black tea, and you can "steal half a day of leisure" in the mountains. The rooftop terrace offers stunning views. Gazing out, one can see thousands of acres of bamboo forest surging like green waves, interspersed with the white walls and black tiles of an ancient village, unfolding a pastoral scene reminiscent of the poem, "Green trees surround the village, and green mountains slope beyond the town." The guest rooms are the poetic core of Youtan Valley. All fourteen rooms are named after elegant phrases from the Book of Songs: "Jiumu" and "Kaopan" exude refinement. The "Jiumu" room features 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the bamboo forest and green mountains like a flowing painting; opening the window in the morning reveals the rugged grandeur of the bamboo groves. The "Kaopan" courtyard room embodies Chinese romance; brewing tea by the private courtyard fish pond, moonlight scattering across the water like scattered silver fragments, evokes the imagery of "The moon shines brightly on the river as wild geese fly past, and the trees shed their leaves in Huainan as the Chu mountains gleam." The entire room is warm and inviting with underfloor heating, the teak furniture is exquisite, and the smart system blends seamlessly with the rustic furnishings, showcasing a touch of wild luxury in every detail. Shuyuan Village's geographical advantages make the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year readily accessible. Located a 10-minute drive north of Chengkan, 15 minutes east of Xixinan, and 20 minutes south of Huizhou Ancient City, Youtan Valley is considered a "New Year's hub of Huizhou." During the first month of the lunar calendar, fish lanterns weave through the ancient alleys of Chengkan, illuminating the horse-head walls with hundreds of lanterns, their sounds carrying the wish for "fish leaping over the dragon gate." Along the maple forests of Xixinan, fish lanterns reflect in the stream, creating a vibrant and lively scene. In Huizhou Ancient City, red lanterns hang high, and fish lanterns blend seamlessly with the ancient city walls, their simple attire reflecting the approaching spring festival, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. The intangible cultural heritage fish lanterns of Zhanqi Village are particularly stunning; 4-meter-long lanterns float along the ancient streets, their graceful movements like "fish playing among lotus leaves," carrying a thousand-year-old auspicious meaning. After a night stroll, the warmth of homestays fills the air. Inside the restaurant, the savory mandarin fish and warm chicken soup are served, with ingredients sourced directly from local gardens and forests, evoking the rustic charm of "An old friend prepared chicken and millet, inviting me to his farmhouse." On New Year's Eve, people write couplets, make dumplings, DIY intangible cultural heritage fish lanterns, and gather around the fire to listen to the legend of the "Dancing Grass Dragon." At midnight, fireworks illuminate the valley, and "Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, the old year departs, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the New Year's wine," conveying New Year's blessings in the fireworks. Sleeping with your head on the mountainside and strolling amidst the lanterns, the New Year in Udumbara Valley is a poetic landscape, a tapestry of human warmth. Upon returning, one realizes that the beauty of this place is a testament to "cherishing every moment of youth and cherishing every moment."

At the intersection of the moat and the canal, you can take a painted boat cruise. The boat glides over the emerald waves, flanked by Ming and Qing dynasty residences with weeping willows, and occasionally a flock of ducks swims by, as if stepping into a dynamic version of the “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” painting. 🛶 4️⃣ Night tour of the ancient city to encounter a feast of light and shadow The light show every Friday and Saturday night is not to be missed! The city walls are projected into a flowing scroll telling the history of Jun County; the flying eaves of Wenzhi Pavilion glow like golden wings ready to take flight under the lights. The market fills with the aroma of grilled gluten and stir-fried cold noodles, perfectly blending everyday life with poetry. ✨ 5️⃣ Taste all of Jun County’s intangible cultural heritage on your palate Zimo: A thousand-layer pancake baked on stones, stuffed with pork belly and egg, crispy outside and tender inside, finger-licking delicious! Wu Erguo Peanuts: A century-old brand, fragrant and crispy, the perfect companion for drinks! Jun County Eight Bowls: Fermented bean curd pork, crispy pork, braised chicken... authentic farmhouse feast, only 30 yuan per person to eat until full! Stone-baked pancake: Thin pancake baked with cobblestones, sprinkled with sesame seeds, the more you chew, the more fragrant it gets! 🏨 Stay in a Song Dynasty-style aesthetic hotel and dream back to the Great Song After a day of sightseeing, we highly recommend staying at Moshang Qingju Hotel (Jun County Ancient City Branch)! This national trend-style hotel, newly opened in 2025, is inspired by “Song-style minimalist aesthetics,” integrating millennia-old cultural heritage into modern travel living, truly a “poetic residence in the ancient city.” 🌿

The scenery is really good, a Feng Shui treasure land in the deep mountains. But the distance between the gate and the scenic spot is dozens of kilometers, which is unimaginable. You have to take a local's private car. The car condition is really bad. The private cars are parked randomly, causing congestion. It's too chaotic.
布雷达盖延It's not tiring to visit the scenic area. You can stop and go and finish the tour in about four hours. I feel relaxed and look forward to visiting again next time! The bronze statue of Emperor Xuanwu on the top of the bronze roof is taken by a tour bus. There are many people visiting! Everyone comes to worship with a pious heart!
“静心缘”During the National Day holiday, I visited the Dapi Mountain Scenic Area in Henan. Although it's only a little over 100 meters high, it's small but complete, with various temples and Taoist monasteries scattered throughout the hill. Unfortunately, the national protected Buddha statue was under maintenance and was obscured, so I couldn't see it.

ZZJ思由跋A good place for free water play in Hebi, a good place for parents and children to take a walk
晨曦的旅途Stepping into the Yue Fei Temple, one is greeted by the inscription "Return My Rivers and Mountains" overhead and the kneeling statues of the Five Traitors below. Eight hundred years of loyalty and tragedy are encapsulated within this temple. As a national key cultural relics protection unit and a national 4A-level scenic spot, the Yue Fei Temple possesses immense cultural value. The Ming Dynasty architectural complex boasts a rigorous layout, with the Jingzhong Archway, Imperial Stele Pavilion, and Yue Wang Hall remarkably well-preserved. Numerous inscriptions by famous figures throughout history, including a couplet written by General Zhang Aiping, adorn the temple grounds. The Yue Fei Memorial Hall, utilizing modern technology for its exhibitions, is the largest Yue Fei cultural exhibition hall in the country, offering invaluable insights into Yue Fei's life, military thought, and the transmission of his spirit.
leader8607There is a branch in Beijing, the food tastes good and is not expensive.
唐君子涵The scenic area isn't very large. There aren't many places to see, the scenery is passable, and there's a Eight Trigrams Formation you can walk around, but it's not particularly interesting. Overall, it's not very engaging, and the scenery isn't especially stunning, but the price is reasonable. If you're visiting Tangyin, it's worth a visit, and parking is convenient!
小企鹅粑粑🌿 Qi River·China's Poetic River | Strolling through the secret landscape of the Book of Songs 🌊 1. The beauty of water quality: a rare "ecological miracle" in the north - Clear as glass, touch like silk: The river water is extremely transparent. When rowing, you can see "water plants like dense forests, sand and stones moving with the waves", and you can see fish and small stones directly. The water is refreshing and refreshing. Some swimmers even praise it as "smooth as silk, sweet as spring water", and jokingly call it "entering the water like a fish". - Pure ecology, rare creatures live: As one of the few unpolluted rivers in North China, the Qi River breeds the "giant panda in the water" peach blossom jellyfish, and is also famous for the "three treasures of the Qi River" (carp, silk-wrapped duck eggs, and seedless dates). The water quality has created unique products. 🏞️ 2. Scenery: From poetic and picturesque countryside to internet celebrity landmark - Classical poetry: willows on the river bank, blue waves reflecting the mountains, "like a fairyland" when the morning mist is lingering, "waves like diamonds falling on jade belts" on sunny days, and "big and small pearls falling on jade plates" after the rain. The ancients' artistic conception of "Qi River gurgling, cypress oars and pine boats" can still be felt today. - Modern vitality: - Sangyuan Town: Blue brick and gray tile houses in northern Henan blend with food streets and cultural and art markets, the water under the bridge falls into a natural water park, and the summer crowds surge. - Qi River Valley: 5D glass plank road is suspended above the "Little Jiuzhai", and the 2,380-meter high mountain glass drifting is winding and swirling, suitable for both movement and stillness. - Wetland Park: a national ecological demonstration area, with reeds and water birds, hot springs that do not freeze in winter, and the scenery of "green mirror reflecting the sky" can be enjoyed in all seasons. 📜 3. The depth of cultural context: a river of poetry that has flowed for thousands of years - The mother river of "The Book of Songs": 39 ancient poems sing the scenery of the Qi River. "Looking at the Qi River, the green bamboos are lush" in "Wei Feng" outlines the earliest landscape painting, and Li Bai, Wang Wei and others have left their footprints. - Symphony of seclusion and life: old people can still be seen fishing on the shore like sculptures, and chess games are played under the shade of trees. It coexists with folk performances and outdoor classes in Sangyuan Town, and ancient and modern life resonates here. ⚠️ 4. Hidden worries and protection: fragile purity - The double-edged sword of tourism development: the surge in tourists has led to a decrease in wetland birds, and some sections of the river have too many artificial traces (such as dense puddles), and the lack of facilities such as toilets has been criticized. - Conservation actions: Local authorities have designated protected areas, nurtured wetlands, and built them with the concept of "sponge cities" (sunken green spaces, planted grass ditches, etc.), striving to balance ecology and tourism. 📝 V. Travelers say: Practical tips - Best experience: - Summer water-friendly: Swimming in Heilongtan, playing in the water under Sangyuan Bridge, and feeling the "cool" river bath. - Autumn poetry: Cycling along the river or strolling along the wetland plank road, watching the golden elm and the clear water. 💎 Summary: Why is it worth a visit? > The beauty of the Qi River lies in the "clear and clean" water, the leisure of "half a day of floating life", and the thickness of "a stream of poetic soul". It is not as magnificent as the Li River, but with its gentle and jade-like northern temperament, it has become a "paradise" within reach of urban people. It is better to go there early while its purity has not faded - after all, the promise of "green water and green mountains" needs you and me to witness together.
Sigma 王子🤴During the Olympics, I took my family to see the show while the scenic spot was holding an event. It was amazing. I didn't know there was such a show in Hebi before. The format was very novel. It was my first time to see it, and my children liked it very much. Especially the last scene, the scene was very grand, the sound and light, the audience was shocked, and they kept exclaiming "wow~wow~" and were busy taking pictures. I strongly recommend that people in Hebi go and see it. It's quite good! ! I heard that the second and third phases are under construction. I hope they will be unveiled soon and meet the people in Hebi!
