Listen to my advice! Anhui isn't just about Huangshan; Xuancheng is the real healing paradise for working people 🌿 3 days 2 nights, 600 RMB per person. Here's a guide to avoid pitfalls! 📍Must-Visit List (Personally Tested, No Disappointments) 1. Zhaoji Ancient Village: 10 times quieter than Hongcun! The cobblestone streets, a filming location for the movie "The Deserted Village Inn," are incredibly photogenic. Don't trust the "village guides" on the roadside; the professional guides at the scenic area cost 50 RMB. 2. Peach Blossom Pool: Absolutely stunning on a rainy day! A thin mist floats on the lake; now I understand why Li Bai didn't want to leave 🍶 It loses some of its charm on a sunny day. 3. Xuan Paper Culture Park: The gray and white buildings resemble stacked Xuan paper, giving photos a sophisticated feel. You can also experience papermaking firsthand – super fun! 😋Food Warning (Local Secret) - You absolutely must try the stinky mandarin fish! The fish at "Revisiting the Smoke" is so tender it's almost slippery; it smells pungent but tastes amazing, you'll want to lick the plate clean! 🤤 - The Jixi tarts at the roadside stall are a must-try; the preserved vegetable filling is fried to a crispy perfection, and 3 yuan is enough to keep you full for two hours. - The Shuiyang Three Treasures are a blind order and definitely worth it! The duck feet bun is incredibly chewy and goes perfectly with dried tofu as a snack. ⚠️Important Tips to Avoid 1. The Anhui-Sichuan-Tibet Highway is extremely congested during holidays! It's recommended to leave before 6 am, otherwise you'll spend the whole time on the road 🚗 2. You don't need to climb the entire Jingting Mountain; just take a picture of the twin pagodas silhouetted at Guangjiao Temple halfway up the mountain—it saves you time and produces great photos. 3. Stay at "Revisiting the Smoke" B&B! The owner's farm-style dishes are better than restaurants, and the family rooms even have a toy area. The slow pace of Xuancheng is truly captivating. Sitting by the ancient bridge watching the flowing water and daydreaming is a hundred times more comfortable than squeezing into popular tourist spots—escape the city now! 👇 #XuanchengTravel #XuanchengTravelGuide

Transportation: As the scenic spots are scattered, it's recommended to drive. The section from Jingxian to Chaji is mountainous, so beginners should be cautious.

Discounted Tickets: Free admission to Jingting Mountain before 7 a.m.; half-price admission to Chaji Ancient Town after 4 p.m. 3. Best Seasons: Rapeseed blossom season in March and April, bayberry picking in June, and autumn's crimson leaves. 4. Equipment Recommendations: Wear non-slip shoes and bring mosquito repellent for hiking; the cobblestone streets of the ancient town are difficult to lug around. 5. Booking Tips: During peak season (weekends and holidays), it's recommended to book accommodation and tickets in advance to avoid long lines.

Xuancheng is a famous county in the south of the Yangtze River and a hometown of poetry and literature. Its cultural heritage stretches back thousands of years and it enjoys the reputation of being the best place for humanities in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In the south of Xuancheng City, facing the city of the four treasures of the study in China, there is a pure Huizhou cultural villa, the Huizhou Garden Villa, which integrates catering, tourism, leisure and vacation, and agricultural cultural experience functions.

After looking at the pictures, I know that the OP is not good at highlighting the characteristics of the villa! I have brought friends to stay there six or seven times, and I think the conditions are impeccable! Welcome everyone to visit my hometown, and I also recommend you to go to Wenyuan Villa! Not to mention the big meal, but a breakfast with a variety of side dishes has already fully reflected the traditional breakfast culture of Xuancheng area!
