rmrblp:“Mukeng Bamboo Sea is known only as the filming location for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I came here because of its reputation, but the scenery was average and not very crowded. I didn't check carefully when I bought my ticket, and my phone automatically selected insurance, which overcharged me by 10 yuan. I'm not happy about it, but the amount doesn't matter; it's not what I wanted.”
三升换五斗:“The ancient city of Huizhou is extremely charming. It is the shining pearl of Huizhou culture, with a unique city-within-city structure, three unique ancient buildings complementing each other, magnificent government offices, and exquisite Xu State Stone Archway. Walking through it, it feels like traveling through thousands of years, and you can feel the profound historical heritage and rich cultural atmosphere. It is a historical and cultural city that makes people intoxicated.”
Shin罗小黑黑:“When I first arrived at Tunxi Old Street, the ancient atmosphere hit me. The old street is like a time tunnel, taking me into the Huizhou world of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
On both sides of the street, there are rows of quaint shops. The wooden signs sway gently in the breeze, as if telling stories of the past. Walking into a Hui ink shop, the owner enthusiastically introduced the production process of Hui ink. The delicate ink color and unique aroma gave me a deeper understanding of Huizhou culture.
The food in the old street is even more unforgettable. The Huangshan stewed pigeon just out of the pot is tender and juicy, and the aroma is overflowing; there is also the golden Huangshan double stone, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and a bite is full of fragrance. While tasting the food, I admired the ancient buildings on the street, as if I had become a part of this old street.
Walking along the stone road, I can occasionally see a few old people sitting in front of the door to bask in the sun and chat. The leisurely pace of life made me feel the fireworks of the old street. At the end of the old street, the water of Xin'an River flows quietly, sparkling, and contrasts with the ancient streets and alleys, forming a moving picture.
Tunxi Old Street not only carries the history of Huizhou, but also exudes a unique charm. Here, I seem to touch the temperature of time and feel the charm of Huizhou culture.”
加涵妈:“The overall evaluation is quite satisfactory.
Let's talk about the scenery first: there is really no scenery at the beginning, and there are mountains at the back. The scenery at the back is also quite good, but there are too many people, which caused us to collide with other boats when we were looking at the scenery... We were really too tired to paddle (`Δ´)
Fun: It's quite fun (●°u°●) ", this is a test of multi-person cooperation. My child and I played on the water for a long time →_→. It's very tiring to slide to the back, and there is no place to rest. If you don't paddle well, it's difficult for the boat to move forward. The whole process is still a bit long, and people with average physical strength are more tired after playing. It is recommended that multiple people come to play together, because one person can't really hold it. There are also some adults and children playing water fights, and the water splashes everywhere, so if you see someone playing in the water, unless you also want to play in the water, try to avoid it. (Because it will hurt innocent people (ー△ー;)). This rafting is quite suitable for friends and parents. It starts with sliding on the flat lake for a while, then a big slide, about five or six times. It's quite exciting when sliding down the slide, and the speed is fast.
Finally, the cost-effectiveness: I think the ticket is actually quite cheap. But you have to add the package shipping fee, buy raincoats and shoe covers, and mobile phone cases. Although these are not included in the ticket, the total cost is too expensive. The raincoat costs 30 yuan, the shoe covers 20 yuan, and the mobile phone case 20 yuan, which costs 70 yuan per person. This is the most basic fee, unless you don't bring a mobile phone and don't care about getting wet. It's said to be quite cheap, but it's actually super expensive. It will also secretly take pictures of you while you are rafting, and ask you for a photo fee after the rafting, 30 yuan per photo. <(`^´)>
It doesn't matter whether you give it or not (if you are cruel), but it will force you to give it (like all the scenic spots here).
There is also the problem of taking a taxi. If you don't follow a tour group and you don't have a car, then you will suffer. It is very difficult to get a taxi here, and you may not get one even if you wait for half an hour. And after you finish rafting, even if you are wearing waterproof gear, your body will still be wet, and it is very uncomfortable to wait there. There are also a few cars there, but the fare is expensive, so it is better to take a taxi.
Overall, it is still good, but I personally think the total price is a bit high, and the experience is good٩(๑^o^๑)۶”
Open tomorrow at 07:30-17:30 (admission ends at 17:00)
300***28:“Chengkan is beautiful and rich in history and culture, well worth a visit. The only downside is that the site management is poor. Garbage is everywhere and it stinks. The signs are unclear, making it easy to get lost. There are also some women who claim to be specially hired guides for the site, charging 20 yuan for a guide. If you don't invite them, they'll cling to you. I hired one out of fear of being annoying, but they were just giving guides outside. Their accent was so thick it was hard to hear them clearly. They couldn't get into the site, so I recommend avoiding them. My overall Huangshan experience was great, except for the Chengkan area, which was a bit lacking. This is purely personal experience.”
M81***00:“Located in Shendu Town, She County, in the mountainous region of southern Anhui Province, Yangchan Tulou is a small village nestled against the backdrop of the mountains. Most of the villagers are indigenous, and the village has a simple and unpretentious atmosphere. Dining at the mountain farmhouse is affordable and delicious. Stepping into the Tulou is like stepping back into a simpler era.”
_We***73:“It is worth visiting the small town, which has traces of local people's lives, beautiful lanterns worth remembering, and occasional small performances. It is a small town full of sincerity. I was fortunate to participate in a Hui-style water wedding.”
cw_***11:“This copper mine revitalization and cultural tourism project is a bit contrived, but it's a prime example of ecological restoration in Tongling. It's quite popular; during the Lunar New Year holiday, CCTV was even on-site. The service was quite good and professional, including the coin exchange and the inverted elevator ride. It's a great place to bring children.”
Open tomorrow at 09:00-22:00 (admission ends at 21:00)
崔吹牛:“I know how happy children are. I took my child to complete several large projects this morning. She said she loved "Pansi Cave and the Monkey King"! She also loved making boats and floating on the water... Now I bought a pair of non-slip socks to play in the indoor playground! Looking forward to the fireworks tonight 🎆”
谭姐:“The picture above speaks for itself, it's breathtakingly beautiful, suitable for horizontal screen, and I feel like I can spend a whole day there. I went there in the afternoon and it was drizzling, the natural scenery was so beautiful, I look forward to going there again next time.”

过期胶片nico:“I went to eat hotpot with my friends. It tasted very good. The food was served quickly, the portion was large, and the price was average. I enjoyed the meal very much. The Zhaoji Axiangpo hotpot in Wuhu tasted very good, there were many kinds of dishes, and the service from the waiters was also good. The service was very good and I was very satisfied. I will go to Axiangpo to eat hotpot with my friends more often in the future!”
小嗳Mama:“The spare ribs pot was excellent. The spare ribs pot was 98, all lean meat. The fried edamame and tofu was 38, a large portion, and the broth was delicious with rice. The eggplant pot with gravy was 28, and it also came with a fruit plate. There were four breakfast options: A, B, C, and D. A family room had three, and I chose B, C, and D: beef noodles, porridge, and soy milk. It was a pity I didn't get to try the handmade fried dumplings. I hope they'll make them for me next time I go! As shown in the picture, a special thank you to the Taiwanese coffee master at the Rice Field Starry Sky Rooftop Cafe for teaching us how to make coffee. There are also a variety of delicious drinks. It's very cost-effective, ranging from 20 to 28.”
蓝天波波:“Located on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, the store is very large with many private seats for resting. The prices are moderate and the food tastes very good. It feels nice to take a break and have a cup of milk tea after strolling on the pedestrian street.”
_We***18:“I went there again this year. They have moved. The new store is conveniently located opposite the Ramada Hotel. The dishes have been adjusted and are more delicious. They are not so greasy. They are worth praising.
Environment: Good
Taste: Good
Service: Good”
M36***59:“The drinks in this store are quite good, and there are not only milk tea, but also many other choices. As expected, the business is very good. It tastes better than Yi Dian Dian, ha! It is a chain store, so the environment, service and taste are very formal. It is really delicious. The tea tastes great, and the fresh milk is also very pure and fragrant! Great!”
健康美丽的芳芳:“In a restaurant in the old street, the fish here smells very bad, but it tastes really delicious, and the fish is super tender, it melts in your mouth. It's so delicious!”
huang244483:“Every time I come to Anqing Railway Station to take a train🚉, I always come to this Wang Renhe rice noodle restaurant for dinner (*๓´╰╯`๓)♡. The rice noodles are really delicious and the price is very affordable. It is highly recommended.”
zixunshi99:“I found a buffet restaurant here by accident. I was a little hungry, so I went in to have a meal. The environment here is pretty good, and there are more dishes than I expected. I feel that the price-performance ratio is quite high.”
