🌲 Yesterday I saw a National Geographic article about a beautiful forest of redwoods on the water. What a coincidence! For this beautiful cedar forest, I just made a special trip to Anhui a while ago. · ❤️I've always heard that there is a Sichuan-Tibet line in Southern Anhui. The most worthwhile stop along the way. This is the Ningguo's bald redwood forest. · 👀200 hectares of water-covered redwoods, Every year in late autumn and early winter, the bald cypress in the water turns red. Leaves fall into the blue water, Some people say this is Kanas in southern Anhui. · 🗺️How to get there? 💈Ningguo Cypress Forest Wetland Park 📍Address: Fangtang Township, Ningguo City, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province 💰Tickets: Cruise 60/person, Plank Road 40/person 🅿️Parking: Regular parking lot, capped at 15 · 📸How to play? 1️⃣ Tickets are divided into two types: cruise and plank road. The scenic area is divided into two parts: cruise, the whole journey takes about 30 minutes, and it is worthwhile to take an electric bamboo raft through the underwater forest. There are two plank roads, one on each side. If you buy a cruise ticket, the plank road on the left is free. I personally recommend buying only the cruise ticket, and you can play on the plank road on the left for free after taking the cruise. · 2️⃣I sincerely recommend staying here for one night. The B&B in the village next door is very cost-effective. · 3️⃣ If you arrive in the afternoon, you can take a boat first, and then take pictures of the golden redwood forest under the sunset on the free plank road. · 4️⃣On the 2nd day, you can get up early and choose to go to the "Bald Cypress Photography Viewing Platform" a little further ahead of the scenic area to watch the sunrise and morning mist, or you can take a private boat to the river. The morning mist is super beautiful. · ❗Tips: 1️⃣ There is no toilet in the scenic area, the toilet is in the parking lot. 2️⃣Drones fly freely. 3️⃣The ground is muddy, so wear non-slip and dirt-resistant shoes. · 🙋🏻‍♂️Just call me Xiao Ming! Beijing boy, traveling around. Don’t get lost when playing with me, don’t forget to give me a ❤ before you go!

#passionpassport Ningguo, Xuacheng, Anhui, China This is a small city in Anhui that people need to explore, it’s a good place to walk around. It has a beautiful view day and night. A lot of stores and restaurants to try out. It’s even near to the mountains 🏔 20km away from the city. You can have a good city view from a rooftop or top floors window. There’s mountain, water (lake) and city view at the same time. #anhui #anhuitravel #city #cityoverlook #summer #summervacation #china #chinalife #citylife #cityview#cityscape #urbanexplorer #buildings #mountains #water #lake #ningguo#xuacheng

#passionpassport It feels amazing to be near to nature, to experience seeing amazing natural scenery around. Here in Qinglongbay you can try boat riding ( you can choose what kind would you like, and pay accordingly if how many people you will be) For example the minimum price for a small speed boat ferry is 80 rmb per person (6 people one boat). But if you are just 4 like you can divide the price of 480 rmb to 4= 120 rmb each. And definitely it’s worth it, it’s exciting and you can take a lot of pictures. #anhui #anhuitravel #china #chinalife #boat #boats #summer #summervacation #passionpassport #naturalwonders

#passionpassport You can take a boat in qinglong Bay, and they will take you to the chosen places you like. For example the nearest one would be the temple that you can walk up, like hiking around 758 steps. It’s a very popular place here in Ningguo, Anhui, China. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and for summer the most less clothes and comfy one too. Remember to be hydrated and no worries there’s a small store up so you can always have a refreshment. You can see a temple and amazing view to the top. #anhui #anhuitravel #china #chinalife #summer #summervacation #summertrip #hiking #walking #mountainview #temple

Wuyue Ancient Trail and Heavenly Lake Its a 35 km long trail, Walking through the ancient path is like walking back to history. Heavenly Lake, blue skies, sea of clouds and flowers around it reflects in the heavenly lake does feel like heaven, so peaceful and relaxing.I highly recommend for some stress relieving getaway. It was a great hiking experience. To be able to hike the beautiful ancient trail and to be surrounded by nature.The trail was slippery after raining but we helped each other down the mountain, it was another great trip.

Forget the crowded beaches of Hainan! Found a treasure in Ningguo, Southern Anhui — 22℃ mountain breeze chasing the kids, creek water cool enough to chill watermelon, crab catching, drifting water fights… Two days and one night locking in a “wild summer” in the kids’ childhood🌿 🚗 2 hours to enter the “22℃ cool zone” A 2-hour self-drive from Nanjing, the moment you enter Ningguo, the heat is swept away by the mountain breeze! Green mountains brush past the car window, bamboo forests rustle in the wind, and the kids suddenly shout: “Mom! The wind is cool! And it smells like bamboo!” Compared to the scorching sun in Hainan, Ningguo feels like it’s covered by a “natural air conditioner” — daytime shade wraps the creek, at night a thin quilt and insect songs, even the air tastes sweet🍃 🌊 DAY 1: Rafting + pool party, soaking summer in water 🌿 Farmhouse dishes that make the kids “rebel” At noon, we ducked into a roadside farmhouse restaurant, homemade chicken soup bubbling, bamboo shoots crisp enough to crunch, bracken with a wild mountain flavor… The kids kept saying “Mom, this bamboo shoot is sweet!” while eating, finishing two bowls and even sneaking some of my stir-fried bracken😋 (Proud mom moment: finally no need to chase them to eat!) 🚣 During rafting, the kids got “close” with little fish! Tanggu Bay rafting is hidden in the shade, the creek water is as clear as glass, little fish pecking at the boat! The kids held a fishing net wildly scooping fish, suddenly screamed “Mom! The fish bit my finger!” (Actually the fish were just pecking playfully, scaring him so much he jumped up and the boat shook😂) At the end of rafting, clothes soaked like “drenched chickens,” but the kids smiled until their faces hurt: “100 times more exciting than an amusement park! Next time we’ll catch fish again!” 🌇 Pool party: “water fight” under the sunset In the evening, the homestay pool was dyed golden by the sunset, kids and new friends shooting water guns at each other, water splashing up to the sky and falling down again. I lay on a lounge chair eating watermelon when a kid shouted “Look! A rainbow!” — turns out the water droplets refracted a rainbow, breathtakingly beautiful🌈 ✨ Fireworks magic under the starry sky The mountain homestay is hidden in bamboo forest, open the window to see the starry sky. Lying on the terrace counting stars with the kids, suddenly fireworks “bang” explode, the kids jump up cheering, fireflies flashing nearby, this scene etched directly into childhood DNA💫 🦀 DAY 2: Creek trekking and crab catching, turning the wild into a “nature class” 🌅 Early morning “treasure hunt” in the creek At dawn, the kids dragged me rushing to the creek! The water just ankle-deep, refreshingly cool~ He squatted in the rock crevices looking for crabs, suddenly shouted “Got one!” — holding a little crab with a huge smile, but the crab “zoomed” away, he jumped into the water splashing big waves, soaking wet but happy🦀 ☕ Mom’s “relaxing time” I set up a coffee table on the shore, watching the kids and friends having a water gun battle: water flying everywhere, some fell into the water, some surrendered with water guns raised, laughter shaking the bamboo forest. The creek water is fresh and clear enough to see snails on the bottom, the kids even found transparent little shrimp, exclaiming “Mom, look! The shrimp glow!” 🍢 Creekside barbecue: kids’ “dark cuisine” crowned At noon by the creek barbecue, the kids insisted on being the “chef,” grilling chicken wings until blackened but proudly said “This is charcoal flavor!” Eating happily themselves, even fed me some charred corn: “Mom, try my love barbecue~” Cicadas chirping in the nearby bamboo forest, wind rustling bamboo leaves, this scene is more healing than any restaurant 🌿 💡 Stress-free tips (a must-read for lazy moms!) 1. Must-bring gear: • Fishing net + small bucket (crab and fish catching magic tools, kids can play all afternoon); • Non-slip creek trekking shoes (the creek stones are slippery like oiled! Tested by falling…); • Sun protection clothing + sunglasses (mountain UV rays hide deep, don’t let the kids get sunburned!). 2. Avoid pitfalls: Summer homestays surge in price and are hard to book, just join a parent-child group! Private water play, dedicated car transfers, leaders organizing games for kids, moms just take photos and eat watermelon🍉 (Tested to save three weekends’ worth of energy!). 3. Hidden activities: • Find “spring bamboo shoots after rain” in the bamboo forest, let kids dig bamboo shoots for a big sense of achievement; • Go deep into the bamboo forest at dusk to listen to insect songs, like entering a natural concert 🎵. 4. Food bonus: Ningguo’s “Yanduxian” (salted pork and fresh bamboo shoot stew) is a must-try! Salted meat stewed with fresh bamboo shoots, soup as white as milk, kids lick the bowl clean~ 🌿 Final hit: The childhood we should have is all in this creek water On the way back, the kids hugged a bottle full of crab shells and dried fish, fell asleep instantly in the car, with a smile still on their lips. It turns out the most precious thing about summer is not squeezing into crowded beaches, but catching crabs and chasing waves in the creeks of Southern Anhui, letting the kids’ laughter and mountain breeze drift into the bamboo forest together🌿 Nanjing moms, don’t let the kids be stuck in air-conditioned rooms — this 22℃ wild kingdom hides the childhood we all should have, lock in this guide and take the kids to run wild! (Whisper: I’m already urging the parent-child group to open another session, it’s too good!)

Qinglong Bay: Drift on the water, feel the adrenaline rush! Who says Southern Anhui is all about tranquil bridges and streams? Qinglong Bay begs to differ! Hop on a speedboat, hit the throttle, and let the splashes hit your face—pure excitement!

Chujia Beach: A countryside retreat fit for immortals! As the morning mist rises, the entire village looks like it's been filtered with beauty mode. Old houses, Huizhou-style architecture, and wooden bridges—every snapshot is Instagram-worthy.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, take two days off and head to Xuancheng for a short yet delightful trip filled with surprises. This journey offers both the elegance of nature and the charm of local life, leaving unforgettable memories at every stop. Day 1: Leisurely Bamboo Rafting and Ancient Villages in the Mist We set off for Xuancheng early on Friday, planning to experience bamboo rafting at Xijin Yedu first. Checking the weather forecast before departure, we expected rain in Ningguo and hoped to encounter misty scenery. Instead, we were greeted by blazing sunshine. Nonetheless, the nearly three-and-a-half-hour drive through mountain roads was exhilarating. Passing by Qinglongwan Reservoir, we couldn’t resist stopping to admire the stunning lake and mountain views—every snapshot looked like a postcard. Soon, we arrived at Xijin Yedu. Since it was a weekday, the scenic area wasn’t crowded, allowing us to enjoy the trip at a relaxed pace. We first filled our stomachs at "Zui Xing Yun" restaurant near the entrance, where three dishes cost only 160 yuan—delicious and affordable. Plus, the restaurant had a parking lot right next to it, which was super convenient. After the meal, we boarded the bamboo rafts just across the street. The owner mentioned that the price used to be 60 yuan per person but had increased to 80 yuan under new management. My child, nearly 1.3 meters tall, got a free ride after some friendly bargaining, so we paid 160 yuan for two adults and one child. Drifting on the raft for half an hour, surrounded by lush green mountains and gentle breezes, was incredibly soothing—the perfect escape from the summer heat. After the rafting, we headed straight to Jixi (where we’d booked a hotel in advance). Since we planned to visit the Grand Canyon the next day, we decided to detour and explore a few attractions in the afternoon. On the way to Meiganling, we stumbled upon a crystal-clear stream where our child eagerly played in the water. The scenic spot even had a dedicated parking area, so we lingered for half an hour before reluctantly moving on. Though it wasn’t the season for rapeseed flowers, Meiganling’s landscape was still breathtaking. After grabbing two bottles of water from a vending machine, we hurried to our next stop—Longchuan Scenic Area. Arriving at 5:15 PM, we met a kind elderly man at the entrance who whispered that if we waited a few minutes until his shift ended, we could enter for free. Just as we stepped inside, thunder rumbled, and we rushed through the sights before a downpour forced us to dash back to the car. With the rain pouring, we opted for takeout at our hotel. We stayed at City Comfort Inn, where we chatted with the owner’s mother while waiting for our food. She mentioned the hotel had just opened in May, explaining why the rooms were so new and clean. The hospitable owner even treated us to a few "ta guo" (local pastries), and the pickled vegetable flavor won me over—savory and utterly addictive. The next morning, opening the window revealed a dreamy fog-shrouded landscape, which I quickly captured with my camera. Day 2: Exploring the Grand Canyon and Old Street Delicacies After breakfast at the hotel, we set off for Zhangxi Grand Canyon around 9 AM. Tickets cost 54 yuan for adults and half-price for children. The winding mountain road to the canyon was steep and required careful driving. Light drizzle at the entrance soon turned into heavy rain, leaving little chance to take photos. Yet, the canyon’s beauty was awe-inspiring. Crossing a log bridge, we missed a close-up view of Baizhang Rock due to the downpour, but the small waterfalls and Tianmen Bridge along the way showcased nature’s artistry. Soaked by the time we exited, we gladly paid 10 yuan for a shuttle ride back to the parking lot—a lifesaver compared to hiking downhill. Leaving the canyon, we visited Helixi Old Street in Ningguo. Parking at Dongjin Elementary School (free of charge—how generous!), we crossed a bridge to try the viral drink shop "Cawalker." Their mango slush was a summer savior—refreshing and sweet. We also sampled rice wine, but the mango slush won our hearts. Finally, we enjoyed a hearty lunch at Dongjin Restaurant, where three dishes cost just over 120 yuan—flavorful, generous portions, and great value. With that, our two-day Xuancheng adventure came to a close, leaving us with hearts full of joy and contentment. The landscapes, hospitality, and cuisine have become cherished memories, and we can’t wait to return for more discoveries!

Where to go during Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai's rainy season❓ Head to places without ceilings to unwind ✨ Sichuan's Tibetan Line is too far?

Driving through the outskirts of Ningguo City and along an eight-kilometer winding mountain path, a vast emerald forest suddenly unfolds. Enlong World Wooden House Village—this AAAA-rated gem nestled in the mountains of southern Anhui—rests quietly amidst the peaks beside Ninggang Road. As the northern gateway station of the "Southern Anhui Tibet Line," it resembles a hermit, unveiling an ecological masterpiece of "Three Valleys and Eighteen Villages" across 150 hectares of lush forests and an expansive 88-square-kilometer plan. Knocking on the Door of the Earth Upon entering the scenic area, the towering statue of "Mother Earth" stands majestically. Surrounding it are sculptures depicting plowing, harvest, and joy, while a four-kilometer cobblestone wall winds like the veins of the earth. Running fingers over these pebbles, polished by billions of years of erosion, their cool, hard texture seems to connect with ancient energies, giving tangible form to Li Bai's verse: "The earth is the mother of all." A Kaleidoscope of Ethnic Cultures in the Forest Following a stone path deeper into the woods, the thunderous beat of drums suddenly fills the air. In the Enlong Folk Culture Park, Miao stilt houses, Dai bamboo dwellings, and Mongolian white yurts dot the 500-acre land. A Wa tribesman leaps barefoot onto a ladder of knives, the cold steel glinting in the sunlight; nearby, Dai girls in tube skirts twirl by the pool, splashing water into colorful arcs. Even more mesmerizing is the feather dance of Thai performers, their gold-embroidered costumes spinning, blending Eastern and Western aesthetics in a wondrous fusion. During a Miao "bridal snatching" ritual, I was draped in an indigo embroidered vest by enthusiastic Miao maidens. The rhythm of the bamboo pole dance quickened, my stumbling steps eliciting laughter, and before I could finish the glutinous rice wine in my hand, a dot of vermilion blessing was pressed onto my forehead. A Seasonal Ode to Ginkgos and Fruit Strolling eastward, a thousand-acre ginkgo garden unfolds its seasonal tapestry. In spring, new leaves adorn the branches like jade; imagine autumn’s golden spectacle—countless "butterflies" of ginkgo leaves fluttering, the boughs heavy with white nuts, as if the earth were offering gilded treasures. Nearby, the orchard wafts sweet fragrances: bayberries red as coral, honey pears tinged with yellow. Biting into a dew-kissed peach, the burst of juice carries the crispness of mountain breezes. The Wooden House Haven at Dusk As the sun melts into gold, over 70 pinewood villas emerge by Luoxia Valley. Built with premium southern Anhui pine, their grain still exudes the scent of resin. Pushing open the glass door to the balcony, the breeze, rich with negative oxygen ions, greets you—no wonder this place is hailed as a "natural oxygen bar." Leaning on the railing, the silhouette of a white pagoda reflects on the 1.8-million-cubic-meter water park’s mirror surface, while boats glide by, scattering the twilight glow. When stars stud the night, lanterns light up the pavilions, and neon hues dance over the streams, the entire valley seems to slip into a fairy-tale dream. The She Ethnic Culinary Code The next day, drawn by aromas, I arrived at the She Ethnic Culture Park, where the fragrance of black rice filled the workshop. A She grandmother steamed glutinous rice dyed with nanzhu leaves, serving the glossy purple grains in bamboo tubes—each bite carrying a bittersweet herbal note. Even more stunning was the drunken chicken marinated in red yeast wine lees: the amber-hued meat, fragrant with wine before it even touched the lips. These flavors, bearers of Anhui’s intangible cultural heritage, tell centuries-old She stories with every taste. Two days in the Wooden House Village revealed its role as a strategic node in the "Greater Huangshan" vision: facing Qinglong Lake’s azure waves to the east, linking the ancient Shamen Pass to the west, and drawing from Jingting Poetry Mountain to the north. This valley, where wood is the soul, is a hidden path weaving nature and culture, stringing together southern Anhui’s 227 A-rated attractions like a glittering chain. Departing, I glanced back—the wooden houses in the morning mist resembled birds resting in the forest, while the drums and songs amid the rustling pines had already built another home in my heart, one I could return to anytime. Enlong World Wooden House Village, Ningguo
