Xinyi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Yaowan Ancient Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
After the tourist season, the ancient town of Yaowan in Jiangsu has become deserted, and the night view is not beautiful.
Jiang'an Yaowan Ancient Town is located on the shore of Luoma Lake in Xinyi City, Xuzhou. It is adjacent to Suqian City and has prospered since ancient times. Yaowan is known as the first ancient town on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and has a history of more than a thousand years. After the hoh/11 tourist season, the ancient town of Yaowan began to become deserted. There were not many tourists in the ancient town. At night, it was almost empty, but the night view of the ancient town was still beautiful.
Take in the old town at night, although there are no tourists, the lamp is still on, more beautiful than the daytime. The size of the ancient town of Yaowan is not too large, and some are being built.
Commercial street in the ancient town, there are many old shops and restaurants on this street, but there are not many normal business, maybe only weekend visitors will have more.
The old town of Yaowan in the daytime also has few tourists. The ancient town feels clean and tidy. From the gate of the north gate, there is a large piece of ancient architecture on one side and Laojiao River on the other. The
Laojiao River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal meet here. The ancient town is surrounded by water on three sides. The ancient town of Yaowan has some spirituality due to water. More than 100 years ago, Guzhen was a north-south water transport hub and an important commodity distribution center.
There are many old shops on the old town of Yaowan, which were preserved at that time. There are pawnshops, sauce gardens, wineries and many clubs in the ancient town, as well as a Catholic church, which has a history of more than 100 years.
The commercial street during the day is still deserted, and there are not many merchants opening. The ancient town of Northern Jiangsu is different from the ancient towns of Zhouzhuang and Tongli in Jiangnan, and prefers the ancient town of Yaowan under the night.
The ancient town of Yaowan has been formed for more than two thousand years. The ancient town area is surrounded by water on three sides, facing the land and perfectly matching with nature.
Dongwang and Hai, South Huaiyu, Xigu Pengcheng, Beizhan Taihao.
Away from the kiln bay of the city, it has not been destroyed by the war, but with the vicissitudes of history, it has lost its original prosperity.
Flying in the air townspeople, tell me a few core points, the ancient town in the sunset, the sun is not dazzling, holiday resort recommended.
Xuzhou Tourism has a strong momentum | The seriously underestimated treasure spot
Unexpectedly, Xinyi, a small city in northern Jiangsu, has such a beautiful natural landscape as Maling Mountain. Although Maling Mountain is not as towering as Nanjing's Purple Mountain, it is lush and full of strange rocks. The mountains are stacked, the fog in the mountains is steaming, like a fairyland, and I want to go again to enjoy the flowers and hike during the National Day holiday.

This underrated city in Jiangsu hides a stunning pink flower sea
🎉This underrated city in Jiangsu hides a stunning pink flower sea.💐 There are many exciting activities around waiting to be explored. During the National Day holiday, I found the most beautiful pink flower sea in Jiangsu, and there is no need to worry about crowding, you can take pictures freely.
🎊In addition, there is a fascinating light show waiting to be appreciated. Here you can not only enjoy flowers, but also camp, taste intangible cultural heritage, participate in crab competitions, etc., both adults and parent-child tours can find fun! 😍📸🌸
I visited two niche attractions in Xuzhou, namely Maling Mountain Scenic Area and Yaowan Ancient Town. Now I will sort out a strategy, I hope it will help everyone, so that you can have fun in Xuzhou! 🗺️✍️
🚄Travel Transportation
📍Maling Mountain Scenic Area (8:30~16:30)
Take the train from Nanjing South to Maling Mountain (Xinyi South Station), the whole journey is about 2.5 hours, and then take a taxi from the train station for only 24 minutes to reach the destination. 🚂🌳
📍Yaowan Ancient Town (9:00-21:50)
Yaowan Ancient Town is located at the intersection of Piyao Line and Yao Pao Line in Xinyi City, Xuzhou City. It is recommended to drive by yourself, parking is convenient! Itinerary: Maling Mountain➡️Yaowan Ancient Town. 🚗📍
🌿Attractions Strategy
1⃣ Maling Mountain
The daytime is a good time for taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. The pink flower sea here is intoxicating, whether it is portrait or landscape photography, you can take excellent works. The waterfall landscape is also quite spectacular, just like the beautiful scenery in Fujian. In addition, the chrysanthemum terraces are also a very suitable place for taking pictures. 🌺📷💦
💕Tips: Be sure to ensure that your mobile phone and camera are fully charged, because you will not be able to stop taking pictures, and your album may be full haha~📱💥
2⃣ Yaowan Ancient Town
Arrive at Yaowan Ancient Town around 5 pm, you can stroll around the ancient street here and enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the sunset. At night, the light show and iron flower performance will bring you a shocking visual experience. I personally especially like Zhao Xinlong Soy Sauce Garden. This old brand with a history of 400 years shows unique local characteristics. Wearing Chinese-style clothes and taking pictures here can definitely take a big picture.
🎋In addition, Suzhen Yang Guild Hall is also a beautiful place, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions make people feel as if they are in Suzhou. If you come with your children, don't miss the crab competition, it's really fun! We had a great time playing with the crabs, and we didn't have time to take pictures at all, haha~Catching crabs is both thrilling and exciting! And the important thing is that you can also get a beautiful gift! 🌆🎪🦀

Maling Mountain Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Checked in at Ma Lingshan
It's not a very difficult mountain to climb, it's like a spring outing, having fun and enjoying the walk through the whole journey.
Ticket price is 60, and because I quite like this kind of mountain and water scenery, I feel it's very worthwhile.
The wisteria and peach blossoms in the mountain are all in full bloom and very beautiful! I recommend the North Loop, it's not tiring at all, just play with water and take photos along the way without feeling a thing.
Maoling Mountain in Xuzhou, I really want to say a thousand times that it's too good to shoot!
There are south and north loop lines at the entrance, be sure to start from the north loop line
It's not very big inside, but it's very photogenic even if you shoot casually
If you are a college student, remember to bring your student ID, the ticket can be half price
Xuzhou's misty forest is so beautiful, why isn't anyone going there? 🥺
🌿
During my trip to Xuzhou, the most surprising thing was actually this forest in Malingshan~
.
Not a very difficult mountain to climb,
Just like a spring outing, we finished the whole journey while strolling and playing along the way.
Fairy mist and clouds shroud the mountains,
If you're lucky, you can see the "Tyndall effect" of sunlight.
The important thing is that there are hardly any tourists here!
What you breathe in through your nostrils is a moist and earthy scent.
.
As I walked with my partner, I muttered, "The truly interesting and primitive scenic spots are deserted, which benefits the two of us."
.
Ma Ling Mountain has a north and south line, with over 20 scenic spots including ancient battlefields, hidden horse caves, small and large dragon gullies, and the popular Xianqiao Bridge.
Stretching over 60 kilometers, as soon as you enter here, you feel exceptionally cool. In addition to mountain climbing, there are also many waterways. The "Money Road" in the middle is connected by stone piers like chess pieces~
.
In the forest, mist sprays every three minutes, not only relieving the heat but also shrouding the entire forest in a sense of mystery. It feels like a fairy could emerge from the woods at any moment, no wonder it was called the "first paradise" by ancient people.
.
📍Location: Malingshan Forest Park in Xuzhou
🎫: 60💰
🕙: 8:30-15:00, visitors need to leave the scenic area before 16:00.

The Asia-Europe Hotel eats Ya'aofu sheep
Fuyang cuisine is a unique food culture in Xuzhou, with a long history. The success of the Fuyang Food Festival has been held for several consecutive years, which has made the concept of Fo Tian Huo Yang, Nutrition and Health deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Voltswade is the beginning of the annual season, which begins on the first day of the month and lasts for one month. According to the solar terms of the lunar calendar, the third Geng (one Geng and nine days) after the "Summer Solstice" is "initial", the fourth Geng is the middle, and the first Geng after the autumn is "three volts", that is, "the end" Volt." During this month, people in Xuzhou concentrated on various hotels, restaurants and specialized mutton restaurants, barbecue stalls, mutton, and mutton soup.
In Xinyi, you will arrive at the Asia-Europe Hotel. Its a good food to eat hot mutton in the winter of Peng Zufus sheep festival. The locals have to go against the other way. In the hottest days of the year, they eat a lot of chili red oil mutton. The spirit of the people of the land that has been rumored since ancient times.
Of course, in addition to lamb, there are many local specialties, snacks, and everything is exquisite and delicious.
It is not as delicious as the Asian and European cuisine. There are many ways to mutton here. Originally, I didn't like to eat mutton. The hotel's mutton soup has no taste, it is very delicious, and it is recommended.
