    Anhui Provincial Museum (New Hall) is located at No. 87 Huaining Road, Hefei. The architectural style is unique, and the architectural shape reflects the Huizhou architectural style of the five-party connected and four-water return hall. The museum has rich exhibits. There is no need to make an appointment to go to the exhibition hall. There are plenty of parking spaces on the ground and above, which is a very good exhibition experience.

    天隐.天隐.

    Sanhe Ancient Town is really delicious! Blue stone road, white walls and black tiles, any shot is like a postcard. The rice dumplings and tea are so delicious that they can't stop, but people are a bit crowded on weekends. It is particularly pleasant to take a boat to look at the old houses on both sides of the Straits. The boatman explained that the accent was almost not understood. The things sold in the commercial street are a bit homogenous, but the overall price is not pitted. Suitable for a long time to stroll around slowly, if you want to experience the Huizhou water town style, you can rush! (It’s a little far from the city, and the taxi hurts)

    天隐.天隐.

    The Bao Park has a good environment, good greening, suitable for walking and relaxing, especially in the evening. Bao Gong Temple and Qingfeng Pavilion are a bit historical, but there are not many exhibits, just take a look at the flowers. The hair dryer by the lake is very cool, and you can see many locals exercising and walking their babies here. Tickets are free, which is very conscience, but there are some small attractions charged separately, and it feels like there is no need to spend money to go in. Overall, it is a citizen park. It is okay to go shopping on the way. It may feel a bit flat to punch in.

    Tianzhu Mountain is located in Qianshan City, Anqing City, Anhui Province. Tianzhu Mountain is known for its magnificent natural scenery, and the magical work of nature is the "magic world" of granite. The strange stones and strange stones are stacked into pictures that you can imagine freely. It is very interesting. You can buy tickets at the Dalongwo Visitor Center to take the cable car to the mountainside, and then walk to the mountain, so that you will not feel very tired, you can see seven or eighty-year-olds also climb the mountain.

    This vacation in Yongquan Town was fantastic! There were many accommodation options, and we stayed in a room with a private hot spring. After a long day of sightseeing, soaking in the hot spring completely relieved our fatigue. The town's environment was simply divine, with its Jiangnan garden-style architecture and picturesque scenery at every turn. The "Twelve Scenes of Jiangnan" felt like a scene from a fairy tale, especially after the lights came on at dusk. The location was also very convenient, close to both the highway exit and the high-speed rail station. I'll definitely come back again to enjoy this peaceful and wonderful vacation.
