Anhui's short-distance spring travel guide from March to April that you don't know about (March 25 edition) 1. Core Recommendations 1. Huangshan-Hongcun area - Traffic accessibility: The high-speed rail goes directly to Huangshan North Station (2h in Shanghai/1.5h in Hangzhou/1h in Hefei), and you can take the scenic bus at the station to reach Hongcun in 30 minutes. If you drive, you can take the Hangzhou-Ruili Expressway, which has more than 10 observation decks along the way. - Greenness Index: In March, there is a sea of ​​rapeseed flowers (Qishu Lake); in April, there are rhododendrons all over the mountains (Mukeng Bamboo Sea); the ancient village water system and the horse-head wall form a long scroll of ink painting. 2. Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Line - Chaji Ancient Town - Stealth: The 72 turns on Taoling Highway are shrouded in mist. The tourist density of the ancient buildings in Chaji from the Ming and Qing dynasties is only one-third of that in Hongcun. The stone-paved alley is suitable for solitary meditation.[[4] - Family Friendly: Experience the intangible cultural heritage of bamboo weaving in the Red Travel Town, and the Moon Bay rafting (open in April) has a gentle water level and is suitable for children over 5 years old. 2. Secret Places for Dazing and Strolling Routes 1. A time container where no one can disturb you - Early morning at Hongcun Moon Pond: avoid the tour groups from 6:00 to 7:30, sit on the second floor of Deyuelou Inn and enjoy the reflection and drink Maofeng tea[[]. - Xidi Back Mountain Trail: Walk up along the "Peach Blossom Spring Home" stone carvings and reach the viewing pavilion in 20 minutes, overlooking the blue-tiled houses and chimneys. - Muli Village Sea of ​​Clouds: The only ancient village in Huangshan that is not accessible by road. You need to walk 800 steps to reach it. You can watch the clouds all day long from the terrace of the B&B on the top of the mountain. 2. Urban Oasis Project - Hefei Binhu National Forest Park: 16.8 square kilometers of wetlands within 1 hour of the city. Rent an electric boat to travel through the reed maze (40 yuan/h). - Wuhu Xiangshuijian Rapeseed Field: In late March, thousands of acres of flowers and water aqueducts form a sci-fi scene. It is open to the public free of charge and is a 15-minute taxi ride from Wuhu South High-speed Railway Station. 3. Hidden Food Map 1. The taste of the mountains - Stinky mandarin fish sashimi: A hidden menu item at Tongjulou in Tunxi Old Street, sliced ​​live fish served on ice with mustard soy sauce (reservation required 1 day in advance). - Sliced ​​Wild Vegetable Rolls: A spring special at Xiuning Farmhouse, with bacon slices wrapped with amaranth and shepherd's purse, lightly grilled over charcoal. 2. Family-friendly snacks - Blind box of tart cakes: push cart stall at the entrance of Longchuan Scenic Area in Jixi, with random flavors of pickled mustard greens/soy bean yellow/sesame candy (3 yuan/piece). - Mao Tofu Ice Cream: Developed by Xidi "Hui Niang Private Kitchen", it has a fermented frankincense base and is sprinkled with Huangshan tea powder. It is highly acceptable to children. 4. Food and accommodation safety guidelines 1. Accommodation recommendations - Hongcun Shilili Qingmei Academy: Renovated from a Qing Dynasty academy, the childlike themed room is equipped with a sterilizing bottle dryer, and the housekeeper can order Nongfu Spring milk powder on behalf of the students. - Banyan Tree Huangshan: Lu Village View Family Suite, children's meals are ISO22000 certified, and bed guards + anti-collision corners are provided. 2. Food safety labeling Look for the "Anhui Beauty Consumption" QR code (scan the code on the restaurant notice board to see the source of the day's ingredients), and we recommend provincial-level open kitchen units such as "Dasha Huicai Garden" in Tunxi Old Street. 5. Sightseeing and Water Tour Route 1. Three-day classic loop - Day 1: Huangshan North Station → Huizhou Ancient City (Yangchan Tulou Sea of ​​Clouds Lunch) → Xin'an River Landscape Gallery Cruise (last boat at 17:00) → stay at Shendu Town. - Day 2: Shendu → Shitan Village hiking (7km ridgeline to enjoy rapeseed flowers) → Qiankou Folk House Museum (Ming Dynasty ancestral hall mortise and tenon building block class) → Stay in Chengkan[[]. - Day 3: Chengkan → Xixi South Maple and Poplar Forest (wetland exploration + Wizard of Oz photography) → return. 2. Niche literary branch Taiping Lake Art Island (Pioneer Bookstore Water Branch) → Chaji Ancient Architecture Sketching Base (198 yuan including oil painting tool kit) → Taohuatan Morning Mist Bamboo Raft (the same check-in point as Li Bai). VI. Special Date Reminder (March-April 2025) - Qingming Festival Special: From April 4 to 6, the "Grabbing Fireworks on the Dam" folk custom will be recreated at Yuliangba in She County. Visitors can join the intangible cultural heritage team (reservation required). - Flowering period warning: - March 20-April 10: Rapeseed flowers in Jiangling, Wuyuan (1.5 hours drive from Huangshan). - April 15-25: Huangshan azaleas begin to bloom (Xihai Grand Canyon and Shixin Peak are open to the public first). 7. Equipment and Safety Tips - Essential items: windproof folding stool (rental at Hongcun sketching site at 20 yuan/h), child anti-lost wristband (free at the scenic area service center). - Emergency contact: Huangshan Scenic Area Medical Station (Pediatrics on duty at Beihai/Yuping Building) and Hongcun Health Center are 300 meters away from the south gate of the scenic area. -Spring mountains are visible, and Huizhou is waiting for an unhurried encounter with the thin frost on the green tiles, the morning mist of the Xin'an River, and the fragrance of rice cakes by the stove.
