Explore the fairy island in the golden light by Chaohu Lake.

In the scorching summer, people always want to find a cool place to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of the world. So, I took advantage of the tail of summer and drove to the "secret garden" of Hefei people - Chaohu Lake to explore the legendary fairy island on the sea. Starting from the city, it only takes fifty minutes to drive to Zhongmiao Laoshan Island Scenic Area. At the first sight of Chaohu Lake, the lake is sparkling and boundless, as if you are in a Chinese ink painting. The vermilion Zhongmiao Temple is like a bright pearl inlaid on the bank of Chaohu Lake, shining brightly. Stepping into Zhongmiao Temple, an ancient breath comes to your face. This group of buildings built in the Qing Dynasty has experienced vicissitudes of life and still stands tall. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhongmiao Temple is covered with a golden coat, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity. When you go up to the third floor of the Sutra Depository, you will have a broad view and see the 800-li Chaohu Lake at a glance, as if the whole world is quiet at this moment. The real surprise is behind. Taking a speedboat and breaking through the waves, you will arrive at Laoshan Island, the only island in Chaohu Lake, in a moment. The island is small but has a unique cave. The island is shaded by green trees, and the birds and flowers are fragrant. Every step you take is beautiful, making people linger. It takes about an hour and a half to walk around the island, and the sightseeing car on the island can stop and go as you like. Climbing Wenfeng Tower is a must-visit place on Laoshan Island. The tower is seven stories high, and each floor has an observation deck where you can overlook the scenery of the whole island. Standing on the top of the tower, you can see the sparkling Chaohu Lake, and the distant Zhongmiao Temple is more ancient and solemn in the setting sun. At this moment, I feel like I am in a fairyland, and all my troubles are gone with the wind. For photography enthusiasts, this is a rare paradise. The drone flies over the lake, overlooking Zhongmiao and Laoshan Island, the picture is simply breathtaking. Especially around five o'clock in the afternoon, the setting sun is sprinkled on the buildings and the lake, the golden light and the blue lake reflect each other, mysterious and solemn, as if you are really in a fairy island on the sea. In addition, on the way to Zhongmiao, you will also pass by Binhu National Wetland Park, Changlinhe Ancient Town, Red Stone Beak Park, Liujiafan and other scenic spots. Each place has its unique scenery and story, waiting for you to explore and discover. The fairy island in the golden light by Chaohu Lake is not only a beautiful tourist attraction, but also a habitat for the soul. Here, you can temporarily forget the troubles of the world, get close to nature, and feel the tranquility and beauty. So, take advantage of the tail of summer, you might as well come here to have a look, maybe you will have different gains and insights.
