Spring always comes to Anhui, right? —— The boundless beauty of spring is all in Qingyang
📍🔥When the spring breeze turns the banks of the south of the Yangtze River green, Qingyang in Anhui — this dazzling pearl hidden among the mountains and waters of southern Anhui — is extending a warm invitation to the whole world with its charming and enchanting demeanor: "You must come to Anhui in spring!"
⏰At this moment, the spring in Qingyang is picturesque and dreamlike, waiting for every traveler who loves life and yearns for nature to come and explore, experience, and be intoxicated.
1️⃣【Emerald waters and rosy mountains, spring is in the air】
⛰️In spring, Qingyang is best represented by Mount Jiuhua. As one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, Mount Jiuhua is dressed in vibrant green in spring, with blooming flowers and birdsong. Taking the cable car to the Tiantai Peak, the view suddenly opens up, and the rolling mountains covered in fresh greenery are like rippling blue waves.
🏔️Temples hidden among the pine and bamboo forests, with the faint sound of chanting, bring clarity and serenity to the mind. Strolling through the Jiuzi Stream Valley, you see peach blossoms ablaze on both banks, reflecting off the stream, as if you've stumbled into the Peach Blossom Land. The sea of clouds around Lianfeng Peak, with mist swirling around, makes the mountains appear and disappear like a dream, leaving one in awe. Spring in Qingyang is a visual feast, with every frame capturing the natural wonders of Mother Nature.
2️⃣【Ancient charm and cultural convergence】
🌹The spring in Qingyang is not only a carnival of nature but also an echo of history. Visit the Ganlu Temple, where this thousand-year-old ancient temple appears even more solemn and tranquil in the spring light, with red walls and black tiles set against green trees and blooming flowers. Inside the temple, Buddhist pagodas stand tall, and the low chanting allows one to feel the peace and harmony of spring amidst the Zen atmosphere.
🚶♀️Wandering through Yangtian ancient village, the whitewashed walls and horse-head walls shine under the spring sun, while deep in the ancient alleys, old houses tell stories of the years. In Wuxi Mountain, admire the cliff carvings, those words that travel through time, like historical imprints, reflecting off the spring scenery, giving Qingyang's spring a profound cultural heritage.
3️⃣【Pastoral poetry, spring farming scroll】
🌾Spring in Qingyang is a vivid interpretation of pastoral poetry and painting. Across the vast fields, the golden sea of rapeseed flowers blooms passionately, together with the blue sky, white clouds, and white-walled black-tiled houses, sketching a gorgeous rural oil painting. You can stroll among them, breathe in the heartwarming fragrance of the flowers, or ride a bicycle through the flower-lined paths, enjoying the comfort and tranquility of rural life.
🧑🌾During the spring plowing season, farmers work hard in the fields, plowing and sowing, fertilizing, presenting a vibrant scene of spring farming. Being there, it's as if you can hear the sound of the earth awakening and feel the power and hope of life.
4️⃣【Gourmet journey, endless flavors of spring】
😋Spring in Qingyang is also a carnival for the taste buds. Taste the Lingyang pot, with its fresh and overflowing fragrance, rich soup, and delicious flavor, making it unforgettable; savor the Jiuhua vegetarian dishes, fresh and elegant, with a delicate taste that showcases the charm of vegetarian food.
🍜In addition, the richness of Lingyang dried tofu, the sweetness of Dongbao crispy candy, and various seasonal wild vegetables all exude the freshness and vitality unique to spring. In Qingyang, every meal is a deep exploration and enjoyment of the flavors of spring.
From Nanjing on Saturday afternoon, I went to Chizhou to transfer to Jiuhua Mountain. (In fact, there are tickets for Jiuhua Mountain directly, and the time has not caught up. There are not many people going up the mountain on weekend mornings. The weather is very good. Avoid peak travel.
Jiuhua Mountain is the four holy places of Buddhism in China. It is worth worshiping by believers. These are long Buddhist cultures, simple people and pleasant scenery. Local Huangjing tea, Jiuhua cuisine is also recommended
Overall, it is good. I decided to go temporarily during the Spring Festival. The car has to be parked at the foot of the mountain. After the bus pulls up the mountain, I went to the main peak. After the cable car went there, I had to climb for a long time. I had to live on the mountain at night. Go to another peak the next day.
Really have a fate to go! I have been here for more than ten years. I knew Jiuhua Mountain very early, but I didn't want to go there once. A few days ago, I suddenly decided to go to Jiuhua Mountain on the 21st, so I booked a ticket! My room is booked on the mountain, there is no time to go shopping under the mountain, so I chose to eat under the mountain before going up the mountain. The first thing worth recommending is that the owner of the hotel has a special enthusiasm for service and the price is particularly reasonable. When I left, he reversed the car and carefully helped me direct! The homestay is also very good. Park the car at the visitor center, take the bus to Yingxian Bridge, and the boss drives to pick it up! The pleasure of taking the bus is the first time I have experienced it in 30 years. I must take it once...! The attraction is a fairyland on earth. I don’t express it clearly. I won’t say it. In short, it’s worth going.
Jiuhuashan tickets, cable car tickets, park shuttle tickets are not discounted online, the advantage is that electronic tickets are convenient for storage. For tourists who go back and forth on the high-speed rail, do not buy the shuttle bus in the park. The high-speed rail station is the visitor center. There is a package ticket, 50, including the shuttle bus fee for the high-speed rail back and forth in the park and the shuttle bus fee, which is more favorable. Generally speaking, you can definitely take the journey to Jiuhuashan. When you come back to the high-speed rail station, it depends on the time of the high-speed rail.
If you have time or go, it is recommended to prepare 2-3 hours, flowers that do not climb the mountain, 1.5 hours to walk back and forth on the plank road, half an hour to go back and forth on the cable car, and an hour to be reserved for the shuttle bus. The visibility is high on sunny days. At present, the rhododendron has just sprouted in Qingming because the mountains are cold. There are few people in this scenic spot, very leisurely, and the air is fresh
Jiuhua Mountain has a strong Buddhist culture. Even during the May Day holiday, visitors are softly spoken in the Buddhist hall. It is very quiet and easy to visit here. The scenic spot is very large, and you can visit about four scenic spots in a day. If you live outside the scenic spot, you want to go in and visit again the next day. You need to communicate with the staff when you leave the scenic spot. The scenic spot tickets are valid for three days.
If all the ropeways are up and down in Jiuhua Mountain, if you don't travel in detail, you can complete the 100-year-old Taisho Scenic Area, the rooftop Scenic Area and the Huatai Scenic Area in one day. The scenic spot tickets are valid for three days, and the three scenic spots have scenic shuttle buses. If you want to travel in depth, you can live on Jiuhua Mountain. Jiuhua Mountain is ink in the rain in southern Anhui, it is recommended to avoid the rainy season as much as possible, otherwise the weather is very sultry.
