After 3 days of traveling in Xuancheng, my consumption concept collapsed

Friends who are planning to go to Xuancheng👫, have you read a variety of guides but are still confused and don’t know how to have the most fun? Don’t worry, here is a super practical guide to traveling to Xuancheng. Be sure to take a close look at it before you set off. 🌈Xuancheng, a famous mountain and water city located in southern Anhui, has both picturesque natural scenery and profound cultural landscapes. Four days are enough for you to appreciate its unique charm. DAY1: Get a glimpse of the ancient charm of Xuancheng and encounter poetic landscapes✨ Jingting Mountain → Xuancheng Museum → Gogo Plaza (food exploration) In the morning, we set foot on Jingting Mountain, a famous mountain that became famous because of Li Bai's poem "The only mountain I never get tired of looking at is Jingting Mountain". The mountains and forests are quiet and the air is fresh. Climb up the winding mountain road, admire the quaint pavilions and towers along the way, and feel the leisurely artistic conception described by the poets. Climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the whole picture of Xuancheng. The mountains are undulating and the city is looming under the shade of green trees. In the afternoon, we went to Xuancheng Museum. The rich cultural relics exhibits in the museum tell the vicissitudes of Xuancheng from ancient times to the present. From ancient stone tools to exquisite calligraphy and paintings, we can fully understand the historical heritage of this city. In the evening, come to Guogou Plaza and start a journey to Xuancheng in a lively atmosphere. Taste the juicy Ningguo walnuts and the fragrant Shuiyang dried nuts and experience the unique food culture of Xuancheng. DAY2: Explore natural wonders and enjoy the wildness of the mountains and forests💖 Taiji Cave → Enlong World Wooden House Village (optional) We rushed to Taiji Cave in the early morning. As the largest karst cave in East China, there is a different world inside the cave. When you step into it, you will see a dazzling array of stalactites, which, under the illumination of colorful lights, look like a dreamland. Some look like flying dragons, some look like fairies descending to earth, extremely magical. Take a boat trip along the underground river, feel the coolness and tranquility, and marvel at the wonders of nature. If you want to experience a different style in the afternoon, you can go to Enlong World Wooden House Village, which brings together wooden house architectural styles from all over the world. Walking here, you will feel like you are in a foreign country. You can also watch folk performances, participate in outdoor development activities, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon. DAY3: Immerse yourself in the charm of Anhui and trace the remains of the ancient town🌾 Chaji Ancient Town → Taohuatan We arrived at the ancient town of Chazhi in the morning. The ancient village is nestled in the mountains and beside the water, and the Hui-style buildings are scattered around. The bluestone road winds along the ancient alleys, where you can admire the exquisite wood carvings, brick carvings, and stone carvings, and feel the traces of history. There is a clear stream flowing in front of every household, women washing clothes and children playing by the stream, creating a leisurely pastoral picture. In the afternoon, we went to Taohuatan, where you will see “the water of Taohuatan is a thousand feet deep, yet it is not as deep as the love that Wang Lun gave me.” Standing by the pond, you can recall the deep friendship between Li Bai and Wang Lun, admire the rippling clear water and the rolling mountains on both sides, and be mesmerized by the poetic scenery. ✨How to get to Xuancheng? ✈: You can fly to Nanjing Lukou International Airport or Hefei Xinqiao International Airport first, and then take a bus to Xuancheng, which takes about 1.5-2 hours and has convenient transportation. 🚗: If you drive by yourself, you can start from nearby cities such as Wuhu and Huangshan, and drive via the expressway, which takes 1-2 hours, and you can enjoy the scenery of southern Anhui along the way. ✅Travel within the city 1️⃣ Public transportation: Xuancheng public transportation basically covers major scenic spots and urban areas. The operating hours are mostly from 06:00 to 19:00. You can use your mobile phone to scan the QR code to take the bus. Some tourist special lines allow tourists to go directly to scenic spots. 2️⃣ Taxi/Online ride-hailing: It is convenient to take a taxi in the city. Just hail it and it will stop. The price is reasonable. Please plan ahead during peak hours. 3) Scenic Area Direct Bus: To go to remote scenic spots, you can take the scenic area direct bus, which is convenient and fast. Book the tickets in advance. ❤ Food Ningguo walnuts 🥜, Shuiyang dried fruit 🥣, Jixi tart cake 🥞, Xuancheng duck feet buns 🦆, Jingde pancakes 🥞 📝Play suggestions 1. Jingting Mountain: Wear comfortable sports shoes and bring your own drinking water; the scenery is better in the early morning or evening, and there are relatively fewer tourists. 2. Taiji Cave: The temperature inside the cave is relatively low, so you can bring a thin jacket with you. Pay attention to safety when taking a boat tour and follow the instructions of the staff. 3. Chazhi Ancient Town: When buying local specialties, compare prices and pay attention to quality; choose a good angle when taking photos to showcase the beauty of Huizhou architecture. 4. Xuan Paper Cultural Park: Experience the production process, follow the master's instructions, and take good care of the tools; buy Xuan paper from regular manufacturers to ensure quality. 5. The weather in Xuancheng is changeable, so remember to bring rain gear when traveling; the temperature difference between morning and evening is slightly large in spring and autumn, so add appropriate clothes. Xuancheng is like a poetic landscape painting album. Follow this guide and start an unforgettable trip to Xuancheng! 🎉
