Slow down and enjoy the gentle passage of time in Sanhe Ancient Town, Hefei

🌉 **Hefei | Where technology meets ancient charm, unlock the hidden gems of "Badu"** **🌟 Highlights at a Glance** Hefei, the newly popular "City of Science and Innovation," harbors half of Huizhou's cultural heritage! ✔️ **Sanhe Ancient Town**: The only water town in the Jianghuai region, enjoy a night tour of the bluestone alleys and see the Huizhou-style lanterns reflected in the river. ✔️ **Hefei 1972**: A literary utopia transformed from a prison, featuring retro steam locomotives and a cyberpunk light and shadow exhibition. ✔️ **Anhui Provincial Museum (New Building)**: Home to the Chu State's Dading Cauldron, with a 4D cinema recreating the "Battle of Gaixia." **🗺️ Must-See Itinerary** **Day 1: Journey Through Time**: Morning: Enjoy lotus flowers at Bao Park (summer only) → Visit Xiaoyaojin Park and check in with the statue of Zhang Liao, experiencing the Three Kingdoms era. Afternoon: Take industrial-style photos at Hefei 1972 → Chase the sunset over Swan Lake in the evening, capturing the "Three Pieces of Hefei." Evening: Stroll and eat crayfish at Lei Street, and listen to live local bands. **Day 2: Deep Dive into Culture**: Anhui Provincial Museum (New Building) (free, reservation required) → Explore the "artificial sun" at Science Island → Capture the silhouette of the red walls at the Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign Memorial Hall. **📸 Instagrammable Spots** 1️⃣ **Hefei 1972 Dome Workshop**: Giant dome + steampunk installations, full of cyberpunk wasteland vibes. 2️⃣ **Hongshizui Park**: Pretend you're at the "seaside," taking photos of the "Hefei version of Erhai Lake" on the rocky beach. 3️⃣ **Changjiang 180 Art Zone**: Graffiti walls + old machine tools, instantly capture the industrial ruins vibe. **🚗 Transportation Guide** ▫️Subway: Lines 1-5 cover the main urban area, get the "Hefei Metro" QR code on Alipay. ▫️Taxi: Travel between attractions within the city for under 15 yuan, avoid the Jinzhai Road overpass during evening rush hour. **🍜 Hefei's Flavor Bombs** √ Luzhou Kaoyadian: Duck oil sesame cakes + red bean paste, eat your fill for 15 yuan per person. √ Guanting Road Snack Street: Xuechang milk tea + Huainan potato slices, a student's paradise. √ Laoxiangji Main Branch: Chicken soup with fried rice, the "Starbucks" of Anhui people. **⚠️ Things to Avoid** 🔸Sanhe Ancient Town is free, but the boat tour is 50 yuan/person, not very cost-effective. 🔸The Science and Technology Museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, book "dome movies" in advance on the official website. 🔸The last subway is at 22:30, for night tours, it's recommended to stay near Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street. **✨ Words of Wisdom** "Encounter the smoke and fire of Chu and Han on Quantum Avenue, and the sweetness of red bean paste wafts through the wave of scientific and technological innovation. Hefei is not a tourist desert, but a prose poem written for the future." 🔔 **Follow me to discover hidden gems in lesser-known cities!**
