Gu Niujiang, the Little Jiuzhaigou of Southern Anhui. From Shigong Bridge, follow a Y-shaped path to the left, visiting Longmentan and Biyutan, and to the right, Yanjia Ancient Village, Yuanyangtan, and the Four-Different Waterfall. It's a two-hour hike with no climbing or leg strain. Thanks to the recent lack of rain, we barely managed to complete the "Four-Different" waterfall! We visited Penglai Fairy Cave. We thought the forecast high of 32 degrees Celsius would be tolerable, so we planned to visit the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Southern Anhui" in the morning. It was scorching hot, but we wisely opted to see the stalactites in the afternoon. The temperature inside the cave averaged 18 degrees Celsius, but we ended up freezing cold! I experienced both ice and fire today!
