Things to do in Chuzhou

It is okay to climb up and have a look. Langya Pavilion is a modern reconstruction, and the base of the stone pagoda in front of Bixia Palace is a cultural relic from the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is across the street from Taiping Ancient Town and Wu Jingzi's Former Residence! Not many people there, and it's free, so it's suitable for a quiet stroll without any expectations. On the contrary, I feel very happy. The Taiping Ancient Town opposite is really just for a stroll, it's too desolate.

Check-in was quick, and they assigned me a quiet room on the side as requested. The room had a window with a side-opening screen, which was a thoughtful touch. The room was cleaned daily, and supplies were replenished as needed. The breakfast was particularly noteworthy; it was delicious and offered a wide variety of options, including Western and Chinese dishes, as well as freshly made food. A great feature was that you could customize the seasoning to your liking.

Langya Temple is not only a pilgrimage site for Buddhists, but also a good place for tourists to explore history and culture. There are many cultural relics and natural attractions in the temple, such as Mingyue Pool, Zhuoying Spring, Guiyun Cave, Xuehong Cave, etc. These attractions not only show the historical and cultural heritage of Langya Temple, but also provide tourists with a rich tour experience.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.

Zunyang Street in Chuzhou City, despite having many old houses and historical anecdotes, lacks shops and popularity. Local cultural and tourism authorities could invest more in developing it, if conditions permit. This way, tourists visiting Langya Mountain Scenic Area could easily stroll, eat, and relax here, as it's on the same route as Langya Mountain and close to Chuzhou North Railway Station, making it convenient.

I took a taxi and got off at the West Gate of the scenic area. There's a free shuttle bus from the parking lot to the scenic area bus station. You can buy a round-trip ticket for 20 yuan. The shuttle bus takes you to Tianque Station halfway up the mountain. From there, you can take an escalator directly to the Buddha Palace at the top of the mountain. It's a painless climb, a blessing for the elderly and lazy people. The reclining Buddha in the Buddha Palace and the stupa in the underground palace are must-see attractions. There are souvenir shops and vegetarian restaurants in the scenic area, offering a one-stop service for eating and shopping.

The staff were all very nice. I hope more people will get to know Fengyang and come to Fengyang to experience the Ming Dynasty culture.

This place is quite pristine, and there are many views on the road. There are few people here, and there are not many cars on the road. Instead of going to other places to see crowds during the National Day, it is better to go to these places to be quiet. The facilities inside are OK, there are barbecue areas, and there are many facilities for children to play in the amusement area, and there is grass sliding, which is 10 or 20 yuan for free, and the price is very affordable. For me personally, I like this pristine ecological environment very much. There is a small zoo inside. You can bring some vegetables and fruits to feed these animals. The mountain is not high, one side is a step up, and the other side is a road with a gentle slope. If there are elderly people and children, you can go to the gentle side. This is a natural oxygen bar. I saw that there are free-range monkeys before, but I didn't meet them, and the spare apples were in vain. Maybe there are many famous scenic spots in Anhui, so few people come here.

The Dali Three Pagodas Temple has been fenced off and it is a luxury to be able to see it from a distance.
