Li Bai's Secret Garden! I love this small city in southern Anhui even more than Hongcun!

Walk into Xuancheng, the treasure city of southern Anhui.

Li Bai once wrote, "The Peach Blossom Pool is thousands of feet deep, but not as deep as Wang Lun's love for me." This poem inspired me to embark on a journey to explore southern Anhui. Although the Peach Blossom Pool in summer does not have the grand scene of ten miles of peach blossoms, it is a real pleasure to take a bamboo raft and feel the water temperature that remains at 10℃ all year round! "Boating on the green waves, people swimming in the painting", this is the charm of Xuancheng.

🎉 Fun Guide

1. Bamboo Raft Rafting
Row a boat on the Peach Blossom Pool and Qingyi River to experience the beautiful scenery of the sparkling water up close. The ancient wisteria trees and Huizhou-style ancient villages on both sides seem to take you into a painting, which is definitely the best choice for taking photos and checking in!

2. Tage Ancient Bank
This is where the Qu family built for Li Bai's tour of the Peach Blossom Pool. Wang Lun and the villagers once sang and saw him off at Dongyuan Ancient Ferry. Imagine the scene, it is simply exciting.

3. Wenchang Pavilion
Built by the Qu family, it used to be a gathering place for literati. The "Wenchang Emperor" is enshrined in the pavilion. It is definitely a good choice to come here to study!

4. China's No. 1 Ancestral Hall
This is the largest ancestral hall in Anhui Province. It was founded by Zhai Zhenchuan, a Jinshi in the Jiajing period. The architectural style is unique and worth seeing.

5. Nanyang Old Street
A 200+ meter long ancient street of Huizhou architecture. Walking through it, you can take beautiful photos with a casual shot, which will definitely make your Moments get a lot of likes!
