Qingchuan Pavilion is located on Hanyang's Tortoise Mountain and faces the Yangtze River, across the river from the Yellow Crane Tower. Qingchuan Pavilion was built in the Ming Dynasty and was named after the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Wei. The pavilion as it exists today was rebuilt in the 1980s according to historical photos. The scenic area consists of three main buildings: Qingchuan Pavilion, Wuhan Dayu's Palace, and Tiemenguan. There are also a number of other attractions such as various stone tablets and monuments, decorated archways, and cloisters, all rich in classical Chinese charm. It is very pleasant to climb up to the pavilion, feel the wind from the river, and enjoy the view of the river. The classical architecture and the greenery here complement each other perfectly, and the beautiful scenery has caused this to become a popular spot for wedding pictures in Wuhan.Wuhan · 94.7km from Xishui

Sanhe Ancient Town

4.7/5
4.4k reviews
Sanhe Ancient Town is situated at the southern tip of Feixi County in Hefei, where the Fengle River, Hangbu River, and Xiaonan River converge. The town derives its name from these three waterways, with the name "Sanhe" appearing as early as the Ming Dynasty and officially becoming Sanhe Town during the Qing Dynasty. In 1858, Taiping Rebellion generals Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng achieved a decisive victory over the Xiang Army here, historically known as the "Great Victory of Sanhe." The triumphal arch at the town entrance, Yingwang Mansion, and ancient city walls still bear witness to this turbulent period. The old bluestone-paved streets stretch along the river, lined with contiguous Huizhou-style residences featuring gray brick walls and soaring horse-head gables, blending water-town alleys with Huizhou-style markets seamlessly. Most tours begin at Sanxian Bridge in the town center. To its northwest stands the seven-story Guocui Tower, offering panoramic views of the town and displaying Huizhou artifacts like sedan chairs, inscribed tablets, carved beds, and stone carvings. Nearby, the Dafu Mansion (Sanhe Folk Museum) recreates an official residence's hall with exquisite wood carvings, including an oversized abacus over one meter long. Northeast of the bridge, Xiangu Tower is a Huizhou-style temple funded by merchants including the owner of the time-honored pastry shop "Zhonghexiang." Heading north along the east bank of Xiaonan River leads to ancient West Street, paved with bluestones and once bustling with shops—Liutongxinglongzhuang still maintains its original commercial layout. South along the west bank brings you to Quezhu Covered Bridge, named after Sanhe's ancient moniker "Quezhu," featuring a two-tiered eaves corridor with "beauty's seat" railings perfect for resting and enjoying the waterfront. The southern area around Old South Street and Wannian Street clusters notable former residences, including those of physicist Chen-Ning Yang, general Sun Liren, and Helu. During the Anti-Japanese War, young Chen-Ning Yang sheltered here with his family. Nearby, the famous "One-Person Alley" narrows to barely accommodate a single visitor, making it a popular photo spot. Further south stand Wannian Temple, Chenghuang Temple, and the historic Wannian Stage—Sanhe being the birthplace of Lu Opera, whose authentic melodies often grace the stage during festivals. Local snacks concentrate near Sanxian Bridge: freshly fried Sanhe rice dumplings with crispy shells, shrimp paste, crispy duck, and various river delicacies represent regional cuisine, while tea-flavored dried tofu makes for perfect street-side nibbling. Rice wine and feather fans serve as portable souvenirs. In 2026, Sanhe became a key filming location for CCTV's Spring Festival Gala Hefei segment, with its night scenes of a thousand fish lanterns captivating nationwide audiences.China · Feixi

The Hankou Riverbank is a landmark Wuhan tourist destination that has stood witness to a large portion of Wuhan's history. On one side of the riverbank is a group of centuries-old buildings in a number of styles, including Jianghan Mansion, and the former German Consulate. On the other side of the riverbank is an open riverfront park where denizens of Wuhan can rest by the waterside. In the fall, the riverbank is covered in a thick blanket of beautiful reeds.Wuhan · 91.5km from Xishui

Anhui Museum (New Building)

4.7/5

The Anhui Provincial Museum (new building), located in Hefei, opened in 2011 and is the main museum area. The building itself is a highlight: its architectural design draws inspiration from the traditional Hui-style residences, featuring interconnected buildings with white walls and black tiles that enclose a central courtyard, covering an area of ​​over 40,000 square meters. The museum houses over 200,000 artifacts, with Shang and Zhou bronzes, Han dynasty stone carvings, Song and Yuan dynasty gold and silver wares, the Four Treasures of the Study (writing brush, ink stick, inkstone, and paper), and Hui-style carvings being its most distinctive features. The permanent exhibition, "Anhui Civilization History Exhibition," traces the history from prehistoric jade artifacts of Lingjiatan to the Ming and Qing dynasties, with its popularity concentrated on several important bronze artifacts: the Zhuke Ding (also known as the Chu Ding), unearthed from the tomb of King You of Chu in Shouxian County, is astonishing in size, with a twelve-character inscription engraved on its rim, named after the first two characters "Zhuke" (铸客). The characters "Anbang" (安邦) are also cast on its front legs and underside. The Ejun Qijin Jie (鄂君启金节), a tax-free confirmation voucher for vehicle and ship transportation issued by the King of Chu, resembles a split bamboo section. The five round pillars of the Western Zhou cloud-patterned bronze five-column vessel stand equidistantly on a square base; their purpose remains undetermined, but their resemblance to a router often brings a knowing smile to visitors' faces. The special exhibitions are also worth spending time on. The "Ancient Architecture of Huizhou" exhibition hall showcases the beauty of Huizhou architecture through water features, ancestral halls, memorial archways, and wood, stone, and brick carvings. At its heart is the Feng Renjing Residence, a Qing Dynasty house relocated from Shexian County and rebuilt exactly as it was. With a central courtyard and a "回" (hui) shaped floor plan, visitors can walk into the courtyard and look up to see how the water from the four slopes flows into it. The "Four Treasures of the Study" exhibition brings together Xuan paper, Huizhou ink, Xuan brushes, and She inkstones. The "Treasures of Jianghuai" exhibition is small yet exquisite; a Southern Song Dynasty gold-rimmed agate bowl with a warm, translucent luster, and a Yuan Dynasty lacquer box with carved cloud patterns bearing an inscription on the bottom, demonstrate the exquisite craftsmanship even to those unfamiliar with antiques. The adjacent Anhui Provincial Geological Museum is a good option to visit on the same day. It is recommended to set aside half a day: first see the bronze artifacts in the "Anhui Civilization History Exhibition", and then visit the "Ancient Architecture of Huizhou", "Anhui Stationery", and "Treasures of Jianghuai" in that order; if time is limited, prioritize the first two exhibition halls. Don't just take photos at the entrance of Feng Renjing's residence; you can only truly appreciate it by walking into the courtyard.China · Hefei

In Wuhan, eating breakfast is also called “spending the morning," and Hubu Lane is a famous place to do such a thing. Hubu Lane is located in Wuchang District and is a relatively short street with dozens of traditional Wuhan snacks. There are many old food brands, such as Cai Linii for hot dry noodles, Duohuzhai for tofu skin, Jinchu for soup buns, and so on. You can also have traditional Wuhan-style breakfast like paste soup.Wuhan · 93.3km from Xishui

Xiaoyaojin Park

4.7/5

Xiaoyaojin Park is located in the northeast corner of Hefei's old city. In ancient times, it was a ferry crossing on the Feishui River, from which the park derived its name. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei general Zhang Liao achieved a famous victory against overwhelming odds here, defeating Sun Quan's army. The historic event "Zhang Liao's awe-inspiring reputation at Xiaoyaojin" occurred in these waters, making it one of the few remaining Three Kingdoms battlefield sites in Hefei's old city. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the site served as private gardens for the Dou, Wang, and Gong families. The Quzhuang villa built in the late Qing Dynasty was commonly known as "Gong family garden." After being converted into a public park in 1952, it has carried the urban memories of generations of Hefei residents. The park is naturally divided into east and west gardens by its water system, with eight signature scenic spots like Xiaoyao ancient ferry, awe-inspiring east of the Yangtze, pavilion lake fall moon, and Wei-Wu historical relics after comprehensive upgrades. Entering through the south gate archway, visitors see the plaque "Xiaoyaojin Park" inscribed by Lu Runxiang, a Qing dynasty top scholar. Walking along the bluestone-paved Xiaoyao avenue, the statue of Zhang Liao on horseback wielding a sword stands prominently. Feiqi bridge is said to be where Sun Quan leapt to safety on horseback, while a replica Eastern Wu warship docks by Xiaoyao lake. The east garden excels with water features—islets dot the lake, with Xiaoyao villa and Zhang Liao's cenotaph hidden among island trees. Ascending Xiaoyao pavilion offers panoramic views, and painted pleasure boats at the cruise dock provide lake tours. Quzhuang's open-air stage regularly hosts traditional opera performances like Huangmei, Luzhou, and Peking opera, where tea-sipping audiences enjoy nostalgic charm. Play facilities including the elephant slide and ferris wheel cluster in the southeast corner, ideal for family half-day outings. The west garden features botanical landscapes, with plum blossom hill, peony garden, and azalea garden taking turns to shine through the seasons. The secluded Zangyou garden displays exquisite bonsai cultivated by generations of gardeners, while the adjacent tropical rainforest hall thrives with lush greenery. The Wei-Wu historical relics area—including Zhang Liao's tomb complex, the Three Kingdoms Hefei history and culture museum, and Jian'an culture museum—appeals to travelers interested in Three Kingdoms history. The ancient-style scenery around Feiqi bridge, Xiaoyao pavilion, and classical corridors offers perfect hanfu photography backdrops.China · Hefei

The exhibited artifacts were quite good; I've also been to joint exhibitions organized by museums like the Hunan Provincial Museum. The Kremlin artifacts here are well-prepared and thoughtfully designed. However, the souvenir and merchandise section was rather boring. I was thinking of buying a pendant or something, but that saved me some money.

The scenic area is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms. From the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Yangtze River Bridge and the Yellow Crane Tower. At the very top, watching the ships on the Yangtze and the cars and trains on the bridge, with the breeze blowing, is very pleasant, and it's not too crowded. The scenic area isn't large; a leisurely hour is about right to appreciate the scenery. Qingchuan Pavilion and Guishan Scenic Area are directly connected by the Iron Gate Pass, which leads to the West Gate of Guishan. Climbing the mountain and enjoying the breeze and osmanthus fragrance is a wonderful experience.

Taking kids to a museum definitely requires a guided tour! Luckily, we met a great guide – Ms. Yuan! Her explanations were very detailed, and we listened attentively. We bought many souvenirs. The chicken cup is a must-buy! The museum architecture is also stunning – highly recommended!

Compared to the crowds at Tingtao Pear Garden during holidays, Luoyan Scenic Area is much quieter. There are no tour groups bringing people here, so it's a good place to stroll around East Lake and enjoy the scenery.

The south entrance of Hankou River Beach is very close to Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street. It's a free attraction with excellent greenery, walkways, plenty of benches and trees, and a pleasant environment. You can see ships coming and going on the Yangtze River, and across the river, the skyscrapers of Wuchang stand tall. You can also see the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the Second Yangtze River Bridge, which integrate urban living, green spaces, and exercise facilities. Enjoying the river breeze is very pleasant.

The new Anhui Provincial Museum features a Hui-style "four waters returning to the hall" design, exuding grandeur and tranquility. Admission is free, but remember to make a reservation in advance. The exhibition halls unfold along a historical timeline, from the Lingjiatan Jade Pig and the Zhuke Ding (a large bronze vessel), to the Wu King Guangjian (a bronze mirror) and Hui-style brick carvings, each artifact connecting five thousand years of civilization in the Jianghuai region. The Chu Ding (a large bronze vessel) is particularly impressive. The guide, Liu Ruya, provides a patient and humorous explanation, enhancing the visit.
