I found a secluded town in southern Anhui, where you have to pay for your purchases with copper coins, put down your cell phone, and spent two days of "semi-secluded" life here over the weekend. It has a nice name, called Yongquan Town. There are also steamed buns and noodles made on site, free-range old hen soup, and braised yellowish beef, all grown and raised on Yongquan Town’s own farm, without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. I can eat several bowls in one go! DAY1: Arrive at Tongling North Station➟ Arrive at the town to check in➟ Exchange copper coins for food➟ Visit the Twelve Scenic Spots of Jiangnan (night view)➟ Bonfire PartyDAY2: Get up and have a buffet breakfast➟ Check in for free activities in the park➟ Jiubao Hot Spring➟ Eat grandma's firewood pot rice➟ Nostalgia tour➟ Return The Twelve Scenic Spots of Jiangnan have a long history of cultural and natural resources, and are characterized by Jiangnan folk customs and landscape gardens. We recommend you come in the evening, because you can not only see the beautiful sunset, but also tour the park at night. When the lights come on, it's like stepping into a dream forest on a midsummer night.

Day 1: We left Shanghai around 6:00 a.m. to avoid the morning rush hour and arrived at Jiuhua Tianchi in Chizhou around noon. The scenic area wasn't crowded. After entering the main gate, we came to a square. After passing through a short street connected to the square, we found the sightseeing bus stop. We opted for the sightseeing bus, which took us to a designated location in a few minutes. Not far from where we got off, there was a small waterfall by the road. A short walk up the slope brought us to a flight of steps. There was an elevator next to the steps, but we chose to walk up the dozens of steps. Perhaps due to recent heavy rain, we saw many colorful geckos. After the steps, we came to a large expanse of water—Jiuhua Tianchi. We took a ferry to a small island across the lake to watch a performance. On the way back, we walked down the mountain path instead of taking the bus. There were several scenic spots along the way, including a cave formed by stacked giant rocks, which was quite interesting. Near the entrance to the scenic area, there was a place for rafting, which we decided to try. We stayed overnight in Chizhou. After dinner, we drove to Pingtian Lake, which was not far from the hotel. Pingtian Lake is known as Anhui's own "Sky Mirror". We drove slowly along Pinghu Road in the evening, enjoying the scenery outside... Day 2: Jiuhua Mountain. Jiuhua Mountain is divided into the front mountain core scenic area, the back mountain Tiantai scenic area, and the Huatai scenic area. Jiuhua Mountain tickets are valid for two days. Because we had only planned for one day, we didn't go to the Huatai scenic area, which is mainly for viewing scenery. We first went to the core scenic area of the front mountain and visited the Meat Body Hall, Dizang Temple, etc. We took the scenic bus from Huxingshan Station to the Tiantai scenic area in the back mountain. On the way, we even saw a monkey by the roadside. We took a cable car up to the Tiantai scenic area and then continued to climb to Tiantai Temple. We took the cable car back down to the station and returned by the same route. Day 3: We first went to Penglai Fairy Cave, about a half-hour drive from Chizhou. It was cool inside the cave, but we didn't need extra clothing. The main attractions included more than 10 spots, such as the Reception Hall, the Sea Exploration Corridor, the East China Sea Dragon Palace, the Tongming Palace, the Enchanted Palace, the Jade Cicada Palace, the Milky Way Corridor, the Yaochi Pool, the South China Sea, the Chaoyin Hall, and the Farewell Hall. Like other cave scenic areas, there were staff photographers at the best viewing points. We couldn't resist taking some photos, which weren't too expensive. After leaving the cave, we took a manually controlled slide down the mountain, which was quite fun as it picked up speed. After leaving Penglai Fairy Cave, we drove to Shitai Guniujiang, mainly to see the mountains and rivers. We didn't go too deep, but we did some hiking to exercise. Not far from the entrance to the scenic area, there was a small river where many children were fishing. We stayed at the Tongling Yuanyi Boutique Hotel. The hotel room was a duplex, relatively new, and we had a good stay. Day 4: We packed up in the morning and set off for the Twelve Scenic Spots of Recalling Jiangnan. It took more than 20 minutes to get there from the hotel. We arrived around 9:00 a.m., and parking was already getting tight. We entered the scenic area and walked up the mountain along the road. There was a scenic spot every short distance along the way, where we could take photos. There were also many lanterns and light strings for decoration. Because we walked slowly, it took us more than two hours to go up and down. Perhaps due to the many artificial elements, the scenery felt average. It might look better at night when the lights are on. We had lunch at a snack street near the scenic area. We had to exchange for copper coins to buy food. Overall, there weren't many varieties of food, and the prices were a bit high. In my opinion, using copper coins was just a gimmick. There was also a real estate sales center in the snack street. It turned out that commercial housing was also being built next to the scenic area. After lunch, we drove to Liqiao Water Town. The water town featured Huizhou-style architecture. We enjoyed the "Da Tie Hua" (iron flower) performance in the evening. There were also many kinds of snacks, and we had dinner there. Day 5: We drove to East Lake in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. We hadn't been there for several years. There weren't many changes. It was still a familiar place with familiar Wupeng boats. After leaving, we headed back to Shanghai.

🍵【Yongquan Town】A hot spring hideaway where you can exchange coins for delicious food. Soaking in an open-air hot spring pool at 4 am, watching the morning mist dance with the rising steam, I finally understood why every guide says, "You haven't been here if you haven't soaked in the hot springs!" I booked the Yi Jiang Nan hot spring room in advance, and the butler thoughtfully prepared mugwort bath packets. After soaking, every pore on my body was breathing~(5) 🌅The most stunning experience was the night climb to the twelve scenic spots of Yi Jiang Nan! At 7 pm, we climbed the mountain with lanterns in hand. The moonlight made the waterfall look like flowing silver gauze. When we reached the entrance to the cloud ladder, the mountain suddenly lit up with star lights. At that moment, it felt like stepping into the world of *Spirited Away*! Non-slip shoes are recommended. Families with children can just walk the first half.(25) 🥢The copper coin food street is a must-try! Exchange 60 yuan for 20 copper coins. I highly recommend the freshly made firewood-baked buns (3 copper coins/each). Bite into one and savor the juicy free-range pork filling! The grandma at the sweet ginger shop will teach you the ancient way of eating ginger: "hold it in your mouth first, then chew." The spicy and sweet taste is addictive~(5) 🏡You can't go wrong with a hot spring hotel! We stayed in the Bamboo Rhyme Room, where you can see the bamboo forest from the window, and the minibar drinks are all free. I had three bowls of shrimp roe noodles at the breakfast buffet. Remember to use your room card to take the VIP passage to the cloud ladder. It can save you an hour of queuing on holidays!(515) 🌉【Chadong Ancient Town】A literary dreamland bordering three provinces. "Waiting for the misty rain of a city, crossing the love of a lifetime"—as I read this sentence at the Lala ferry crossing, the boatman was pulling the steel cable, taking us towards Hong'an, Chongqing. A 2-yuan ticket, a 5-minute journey, and my phone's location instantly switched between three provinces. My friends were ecstatic to see my location updates!(910) 📖The border town described by Shen Congwen is even more healing than I imagined! I met a grandma washing clothes under the white pagoda, who gave me a freshly picked wild persimmon. Next to the stone tablet on Cuicui Island, local children giggled as they taught us Miao folk songs. Commercialization? Non-existent! Even the grandma selling oil cakes only accepts cash (1 yuan for 4 cakes).(79) 🐟You must try the corner fish hot pot three times! The sour soup base combines the sourness of Guizhou, the spiciness of Hunan, and the numbing sensation of Chongqing. The freshly killed river fish is so tender that it's hard to pick up with chopsticks. Hidden tip: Add rice tofu and cook until transparent. It absorbs the soup and tastes even better than the meat!(10) 🏡I recommend the river-view rooms at the Chuxin Guesthouse! Fall asleep to the sound of flowing water and wake up to the sound of oars. You can take panoramic photos of the Lala ferry from the balcony. The owner will give you a hand-drawn map marking all the boundary markers (one each for Hunan, Chongqing, and Guizhou).(10) 🎆【Yao Lake Town】A feast of fireworks spanning thousands of years. As the small train passed through the 3 km bamboo forest tunnel, the carriage suddenly played *Lanting Xu*, giving me goosebumps! I recommend taking the 5:30 pm train to see both the golden sunset and the magical night view as the lights come on.(14) 🔥The intangible cultural heritage fire dance show is absolutely divine! Nuo mask dancers breathe fire while walking on 3-meter-high stilts, a dragon-shaped water show explodes with colorful mist on the lake, and finally, thousands of drones form the totem of a kiln... This 9 pm spectacle is definitely worth the ticket price!(14) 🚣♂️The Bamboo Rat Paradise will change your perception! Swim in the 30°C constant temperature wave pool, splash around with the DJ's beats, and completely forget it's winter! The pottery workshop is a must for kids, where teachers provide hands-on instruction in making purple clay teapots, which can be shipped home after firing~(14) 🏨Yao Lake Resort Hotel is like a maze! The 213 rooms are spread across 7 Jiangnan courtyards, and you have to walk through winding corridors to get back to your room every day. However, the freshly ground Yixing black tea at breakfast is amazing, and I could easily have three bowls with the wumei rice!(15) 🌟Three Towns Travel Tips ⏰Best duration: Yongquan 2 days 1 night + Chadong 1 day + Yao Lake 2 days 1 night 🚗Transportation: Tongling North Station → Yongquan (40 min drive); Tongling → Changsha South → rent a car to Chadong (5h); Chadong → Yixing (4h high-speed rail) 🎫Ticket discounts: Free entry to the twelve scenic spots for Yongquan guests; Yao Lake Hotel includes double breakfast + two park tickets 📸Photo tips: • Yongquan: The empty bank at 5 am • Chadong: Backlit silhouettes on Cuicui Island at 5:30 pm • Yao Lake: The moment the small train enters the bamboo forest tunnel 🍜Must-eat list: • Yongquan: Braised pork belly cooked in a firewood stove/sweet ginger • Chadong: Rice tofu with litsea cubeba oil/sour radish • Yao Lake: Wumei duck with sauce/Heqiao tofu From steaming hot springs to literary dreamscapes, from intangible cultural heritage fire dances to the charm of three provinces, these three towns are like hidden gems, stringing together the elegance and vibrancy deeply rooted in Chinese culture.

It's not that Tachuan isn't beautiful, it's just that this small town has achieved fall freedom. A week ago, I made a special trip to Tachuan. I was pleasantly surprised to see the persimmon trees I had been longing for, but unfortunately, the fall colors were gone, and I didn't see the morning mist. Unwilling to give up, I heard that there is a hot spring town in Anhui, and the fall colors are just right. So, I set off from Nanjing on Saturday, took a high-speed train for an hour, and achieved fall freedom. I also found the feeling of a long-lost vacation.

The watchtower on the top of the mountain is the best place to watch the sunset. Jiubao Hot Spring Highly recommended, you must come and soak in it. It's a genuine natural hot spring, and the fall colors outside the window are amazing, no less than Kyoto. You can reach out and touch the maple leaves. Firewood Pot Rice The stove is made of clay, and the fire is made of firewood. The pot rice has the taste of childhood, as if returning to the days of eating grandma's cooking. By the way, with sausage, steamed pork, small fish... it's really delicious. Don't forget to drink a bowl of chicken soup, made from chickens raised by the villa.

I lived on copper coins in the mountains for two days The mountain used to be an abandoned mine. Here you can experience ancient life and exchange copper coins in the money shop at the foot of the mountain. I put it in a 💰 bag, and when I'm hungry I can go to the people in the mountains to try some fresh food. A bun costs one copper coin, and a bowl of screw noodles costs two copper coins. There are also lotus roots, rice cakes, and rice wine. They can all be exchanged for the copper coins in the bag. Online payment is not supported here, and there is no feast of feasting and revelry. All they have are clumsy handmade products and home-grown fruits and vegetables. In this age of fast food, this way of eating seems a bit novel and feels quite fresh. No wonder some people say this place is like a paradise away from the hustle and bustle. Walking around inside, I also admired these quaint pictures that were created by a farmer. Green bricks and gray tiles, under the green trees. It is better to say that the Twelve Scenic Spots of Jiangnan are one scene at each step. It was like walking into the fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz" and seeing the Red Dust Inn in the lyrics. There is no shortage of dreamers in every era, and this place seems to be a paradise where people can escape from reality for a short while. There are beautiful ponds and fertile fields. When you are tired, you can relax for a while in this mountain hot spring. Feel this hard-earned, most natural and comfortable holiday.
