Sanhe Ancient Town: Where Everyday Life Meets Thousand-Year History Hey, want to dive headfirst into "living" history? Sanhe Ancient Town in Hefei is exactly that magical place—where old bricks and tiles tell stories, food aromas waft from a thousand years ago to your nose, and even the river water carries the lively essence of daily life. Come on, let me show you the "double life" of this ancient town! 🌿 Ancient Charm: Walking Through Time on Stone Pavements As soon as you enter the town, the "Sanhe Battle Museum" pulls you into a historical whirlwind. Shadows of swords and blades flicker in the light, as if you can hear the war drums of the Taiping Army thundering. Turn a corner into Yang Zhenning's former residence, where wooden stairs creak underfoot and yellowed manuscripts in display cases silently narrate the growth of a genius youth. The most wonderful spot is "Helu," with its white walls and gray tiles adorned with carved doors and windows. Sitting in the corridor listening to the wind pass through, you might momentarily believe you're a scholar who's traveled through time. Climbing up Wangyue Pavilion is truly breathtaking! The wind blows from all directions, lifting your clothes as you gaze down at the three rivers embracing the ancient town. The blue-gray tiles on green bricks look like buttons on wrinkled green satin—dense yet orderly. Suddenly, you understand why ancient poets loved climbing heights to gaze into the distance—this scenery truly deserves half a scroll of poetry. 🍜 Everyday Life: Carb Happiness and Wine Aromas The most enticing aspect of the ancient town has to be the aromas wafting through the streets! "Boss, two rice dumplings please!" The oil sizzles in the iron pot, and as soon as the golden rice dumplings are scooped out, you bite into them to find hot vermicelli filling mixed with dried shrimp aroma that rushes straight to your nose—instant carb happiness! Around the corner, you'll find a rice wine shop where wooden ladles scoop up amber-colored wine. Take a sip—sweet but not cloying, with the smoothness of glutinous rice. Grab a bottle to drink as you walk, and even your steps will sway with tipsiness. In the riverside old establishments, you must order shrimp paste, crispy chicken, and tofu noodle fish soup! The shrimp paste is so fresh it'll make your eyebrows fall off, the crispy chicken is crunchy outside and tender inside, and the most amazing is the tofu noodle fish soup—milky broth coating smooth tofu. Slurp up a bowl and your whole body feels warm. After eating, sit by the river watching the oar boats glide by slowly, with boatwomen's tunes floating on the water, adding a poetic touch to the everyday atmosphere. 🚗 Practical Tips: How to Enjoy It Best? • Transportation options: 45-minute drive to the parking lot, tourist buses starting from 15 yuan, or simply take a taxi for convenience. • Outfit suggestions: Light-colored Hanfu/vintage long dresses are perfect matches. Costume rental in the ancient town is super convenient—30 yuan to transform into an "escaped ancient person." • Hidden experiences: Watch the sunset at Xiaonan River in the evening, explore the night market when lanterns light up—more romantic than daytime visits. The most wonderful thing about Sanhe Ancient Town is how it blends thousand-year history into everyday life. Here, you can be an "ancient person" for half a day and a complete "foodie" too. No matter how you explore, you'll find your own little happiness. Next time we meet, shall we "fight" for freshly made delicacies at the rice dumpling stall? 😉

Located in the Juxing Liangyi 1953 park in Mingchuan Township, Feixi County, Hefei City, Dale Zhiye · Zilü was once an old granary that had been silent for years. Now, inspired by the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*, it has been reborn as a mountain hideaway. Backed by the Zipeng Mountain National Forest Park, surrounded by bamboo forests and whispering pines, it enjoys a secluded tranquility. A short 15-hour drive separates the city from nature. With the concept of "symbiosis of old and new," the designer retained the original structure of the granary and infused it with a minimalist modern style: white walls intertwined with log furniture, high ceilings paired with 270° floor-to-ceiling windows, bringing the light and shadow of the mountains into the interior, making every corner feel like a breathing work of art. Six small buildings are scattered in an orderly fashion, separated by courtyards on the first floor and connected by air corridors on the second, offering both privacy and a seamless blend with nature. The 19 guest rooms are distributed among the six small buildings, offering both privacy and openness. Courtyard Rooms: Enjoy a private courtyard, wake up in the morning, brew a pot of tea, and quietly watch the bamboo shadows sway; Scenic King Rooms: 270° floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the four seasons' mountain scenery, allowing you to fall asleep under the stars at night; Family Rooms: The slide design adds a touch of childlike fun, and brand-name bedding ensures a comfortable sleep for the whole family. Some rooms are equipped with bathtubs and natural botanical toiletries to wash away fatigue. Ye You Shi Restaurant: The housekeeper will inquire about your breakfast preferences in advance, offering freshly cooked porridge, handmade pastries, and seasonal fruits to start your day with energy. For lunch and dinner, you can visit the Zipeng Restaurant in the park: prepared by experienced chefs, local dishes such as chicken soup and braised pork with bamboo shoots are available. This is not just a hotel, but a source of inspiration for mountain living. Here, there is no hustle and bustle, only the murmur of the bamboo forest, the turning of pages, and the rich aroma of coffee. If you are longing for a healing escape from the city, why not hide away in this "Peach Blossom Spring," allowing your body and mind to return to nature and experience the tranquility of time.

Departing from Hefei Airport by rental car via Tongling-Chizhou-Anqing Sanhe Ancient Town is another reconstructed ancient town similar to many others. Entry is free, but separate tickets are required for memorial halls and former residences. Package tickets are available at the entrance. Datong Ancient Town Scenic Area, about a 40-minute drive away, truly embodies what an ancient town should be in my opinion. You need to take a ferry to enter and exit the town. There are no cars, only electric tricycles. Few residents remain, with most houses collapsed or abandoned. Only a few elderly residents still make their living by fishing in the Yangtze River. It was raining all day, and walking through the quiet town with barely anyone in sight felt wonderful and peaceful. Along the drive, the roadside rape flowers are in full bloom this season, creating a beautiful golden landscape. Chizhou is a very small city that combines the style and climate of both Jiangnan and Huainan regions. It's particularly pleasant when there's a light rain. Jindizang Temple, located at the foot of Qi Mountain in the northeast of the city, is a newly built temple currently under renovation. It's an exquisite place where locals come to worship. Navigate to Pingtian Lake National Wetland Park and you can drive through the entire scenic area. You'll pass by the popular "Sky Road on Water," though without a drone you won't be able to capture its true beauty. The drive offers lovely views with plenty of spots to stop along the way. The only downside was the weather. You can drive across Pingtian Lake, which brings you back near Jindizang Temple. It's less than an hour's drive from Chizhou to Anqing. Anqing is much more prosperous than Chizhou. The first stop was Yingjiang Temple and Zhenfeng Tower along the Yangtze River embankment. Admission is CNY 10. There is roadside parking but spaces are limited, so taking a taxi or public transportation is recommended. Not far from Yingjiang Temple is the historic Anqing No. 9 Dock Ferry Terminal. It costs CNY 4 per person (recently increased from CNY 3) for a one-way 10-minute trip, with ferries departing every 30 minutes. It has become an important transportation link between Anqing and Chizhou residents (as the Yangtze River Bridge toll is CNY 20 one-way). The ferry cabin only has benches by the windows, with the rest of the space reserved for electric bikes and tricycles. The strong diesel smell and passengers chatting and smoking in the cabin represent authentic local life. Daobaoshi Pedestrian Street is beautiful at night and gets crowded. It's nice to browse the shops here. Together with Guohuo Street, it forms a tourist commercial district that's best visited in the evening. Lastly, the famous Shengjin Lake National Nature Reserve in Anhui is not a tourist attraction but a pure nature reserve. There are small villages by the lake with narrow roads. If the weather is good, it's worth visiting for the beautiful scenery. However, if the weather is poor, it's best to skip it.
