"Xuancheng's Divine Photo Spots! Ink-wash ancient villages, thousand-year-old bridges, sea of clouds peaks... Every shot is a masterpiece

Xuancheng Travel Guide: Poetic Living Amidst Brush-and-Ink Landscapes Step into Xuancheng, the "Hometown of China's Four Treasures of Study," and embark on an artistic journey steeped in the fragrance of ink: **Day 1: Ascend Heights & Trace Cultural Heritage** **Jingting Mountain**: Sit alone atop the peak to experience Li Bai's timeless sentiment of "Never tired of gazing at each other," overlooking the misty river city. **Xuan Paper Cultural Park** (near downtown): Touch the legendary "millennium-lasting" Xuan paper with your own hands, witnessing the craftsmanship of paper-making and sun-drying. **Xie Tiao Pavilion/Kaiyuan Pagoda**: Climb the pavilion to reminisce Xie Tiao's poetry, gazing at the Wanxi River at dusk to capture the silhouette of "a picturesque river town." Stay overnight downtown** and warm your soul with a bowl of spicy **Shuiyang Three Delicacies (duck feet wrap, duck wings, Shuiyang dried tofu). **Day 2: Explore Ancient Villages & Poetic Charm** **Zhaji Ancient Village**: Stroll through Ming-Qing architecture, wander along Xu Creek amid blue-brick houses, and feel time stand still under the carved beams of "Degong Hall." **Peach Blossom Pond**: Boat across emerald waters, imagining Li Bai and Wang Lun's farewell song—where "the water runs a thousand feet deep" echoes with Tang Dynasty romance. Stay at a riverside homestay**, lulled to sleep by poetry. **Day 3: Longchuan's Elegance & Cultural Legacy** **Longchuan Scenic Area**: Discover the "woodcarving art palace" of Hu Clan Ancestral Hall, admire the grandeur of Yishi Minister Archway, and trace the Hu family's centuries-old glory along Longchuan Water Street. **Jiang Village** (optional): Immerse yourself in Huizhou-style tranquility amid ancestral halls and winding alleys in this "Little Hangzhou." Before departure, savor the savory chewiness of **Jixi Stir-Fried Vermicelli** or the hearty richness of **Hu Shi's Premium Pot**, letting Huizhou flavors linger on your palate. **Must-Try Xuancheng Flavors**: **Shuiyang Three Delicacies**, **Hu Shi's Premium Pot**, **Jixi Stir-Fried Vermicelli**, Ningguo mountain walnuts. **Souvenirs**: **Xuan brushes** (jade or purple-hair), **authentic Xuan paper** (Red Star brand recommended), **Jixi Jinshan Shiyu green tea**. *"Never tired of gazing at each other, only Jingting Mountain."* This Jiangnan town beloved by the "Poetry Immortal" whispers millennia of elegance through its flagstone paths, ancestral hall eaves, and ink-wash landscapes. Paper, ink, mountains, rivers—every poem, every view, every wisp of mist—Xuancheng awaits your brush to continue its travelogue. Want to try making Xuan paper yourself? Or recite poetry atop Jingting Mountain in Li Bai's footsteps? This town's poetry always hides in the details, waiting to be discovered.*
