[2025 Tongling Attraction] Travel Guide for Tea Garden, Yongquan Farm Resort, Tongling (Updated Apr)

Just escaped from Yongquan Town in Tongling with my kid! Let me share some hard truths while clutching my bag full of copper coins— 1️⃣ Major trap! You need copper coins for purchases I was stunned when we rushed into the Jiangnan Flavor Food Street—you have to exchange for copper coins at the money house first! My five-year-old hugged the heavy copper coins, laughing wildly: "Mom, we've time-traveled!" Then while buying rice noodle cakes, his hands trembled, and coins scattered everywhere. Five ladies in Hanfu instantly transformed into human sweepers while my kid picked them up shouting: "This is my treasure!" (Even period dramas wouldn't dare film this scene😭) 2️⃣ Major trap! Mountain climbing is a vertical pitfall I thought casually strolling through the 12 Scenic Spots of Yi Jiangnan would be easy, but the azaleas were blooming more fiercely than fire! My kid turned into a little human motor, racing up the cloud ladder: "I'm going to Seven Star Village to be the mountain king!" This exhausted mother panted all the way to the glacier relic, only to have my kid hand me a wildflower: "This is the kingdom I've conquered!" (The glass slide down was even more extreme—screaming through three kilometers, more thrilling than a roller coaster🎢) 3️⃣ Major trap! Hot springs that make you shed skin The Jiubao Hot Springs with 25 minerals sounds impressive, but my kid turned into a pink shrimp ball and refused to leave! Pointing at the strontium-selenium-fluoride ingredient list, he made up stories: "This is mermaid magic potion!" Only when he spotted the water castle in the family fun park did he finally dash off wrapped in a towel, barefoot, splashing water that startled three wild ducks🦆 💥The most frustrating time-travel side effect Back home, my kid smashed his piggy bank, insisting on "melting coins to cast copper money." Now during naptime at kindergarten, he shouts: "Waiter, bring me a bowl of pork soup!" ⚠️Tearful advice ▪️Be extravagant when exchanging copper coins! Watching your kid pay for liangpi with copper coins makes them look like a domineering CEO ▪️Secretly pack quick-dry clothes! Running through the azalea forest for three hours produces more sweat than hot spring water ▪️Dress your kid in Hanfu! When the lanterns light up, the whole street will think they're a little master who's traveled through time 💡Secret play strategies revealed ✔️Explore the fortress at night with flashlights! You can see starlight through century-old bullet holes in the walls ✔️Teach your kid to string wildflowers with copper coins! Everyone at school will ask about it when they hang it on their backpack ✔️Learn bamboo pole dancing at the bonfire party! Now our whole family practices "prop-free performance" with brooms Touching my kid's wrinkled little feet from the hot springs, I suddenly realized—the best history lesson is letting copper coins teach them about heritage, and letting mountainside wildflowers show them the power of growing freely. (Now my kid dreams of becoming a money house manager, so I guess those math classes were wasted😭) 💥Knockout Tips: 🔸Rush to see the azalea sea in April! Wearing a white dress for photos makes you look like you've fallen into a cloud of rouge 🔸Secretly bring eggs to the hot spring pools! The mineral water-boiled eggs will make neighboring kids cry with envy 🔸Capture facial expressions on the glass slide! Your kid's grimacing face will dominate the parents' group chat for three years

Who can relate?! Took my kid to this mystical town in Anhui where they use copper coins, and my 5-year-old instantly transformed into a little shopkeeper from a period drama💰 Mountain slopes ablaze with azaleas, hot spring slides to zoom down the mountain, night markets where you use REAL copper coins to buy snacks... 3 days of time-travel fun for just 600+ yuan! Here's your exclusive southern Anhui travel guide! 🚄How to Get There Direct high-speed train to "Tongling North Station"! Just a 15-minute taxi ride to "Tongling Yongquan Town." Along the way, rapeseed flower fields so beautiful my kid pressed against the window asking, "Mom, are we driving into a paint box?"🎨 (Important tip: Look for the pink azalea road signs!) 🏡Stay Among the Flowers Highly recommend the "Yi Jiangnan Courtyard" family room! Open your window to a waterfall of azaleas🌸 Soak in your private hot spring at night while listening to frogs. My kid said it was like sleeping in a flower fairy's bed~ Special mention for the floor heating! Even during late spring cold snaps, kids can run around barefoot. 💥Complete Fun Guide 1️⃣Azalea Valley Adventure I was stunned by the "12 Scenic Spots of Yi Jiangnan"! The entire mountain blazing with wild azaleas like a sea of fire🔥 Collect flower petals with your kids along the creek boardwalk to make beautiful bookmarks (Go before the end of April! Miss it and wait another year) 2️⃣Hot Springs Slide Thrill After hiking, head straight to "Jiubao Hot Springs"! Mineral baths that open your pores♨️ Don't miss the 600-meter glass slide! Whooshing down the mountain like riding a rainbow roller coaster🌈 (My 5-year-old went three times in a row!) 3️⃣Copper Coin Night Market Adventure When darkness falls, take your kids to "Jiangnan Flavor Food Street"! First exchange for heavy copper coins at the money house🪔 Teach your kids to count money and buy "Rice Flour Cakes" and "Pig Slaughter Soup." My little social butterfly even bargained with the shopkeepers🤣 4️⃣Ancient Village Mystery Game The Seven Star Village stone formation looks like alien ruins! Bring a magnifying glass for your kid🔍 to find glacier scratches and fortress bullet holes. Their inner detective will instantly transform into an archaeology expert (Secret code: The Hu Family Scholar's hidden treasure map is at the ticket gate!) 5️⃣Kids' Playground Energy Release The huge non-powered playground is a must! Water swings + 3D maze will keep them playing until you have to drag them away⚡️ Mom can relax in a hammock enjoying cold noodles~ 🍜Foodie Radar ✅Must try "Pig Slaughter Soup"! Mountain black pork so fragrant it ties your tongue in knots ✅Wild garlic cakes with chili sauce, delicious for just 5 copper coins ✅Secret recommendation: Kudzu root juice with amazing aftertaste that cuts through greasiness ✅VIP eating method: Hot spring eggs with freshly ground soy milk, so fresh it'll blow your mind ⚠️Hard-Earned Tips 1️⃣Dress your kids in Hanfu! Lantern night photos will blow up your social media 2️⃣Exchange more copper coins! When kids get shopping fever, even 10 strings won't be enough 3️⃣Bring folding stools! Low-angle flower field photos are absolutely stunning 4️⃣Join the 7PM bonfire party! Teaching kids bamboo pole dancing is super fun My kid became the class celebrity after this trip!

I've never envied Kyoto's red leaves because the autumn scenery around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai is also beautiful. I just went to the hot springs with red leaves in Anhui with my friends, and I was reluctant to leave. It was like a dream in Jiangnan. You can soak in natural hot springs and enjoy the autumn colors of the valley. You can also use copper coins to buy food. The key is that there are few people here, and the experience is really great.
