Must-Visit Gallery for Southern Anhui Road Trips

Chasing the Morning Light
7:00 Qinglong Bay · Dawn Break
Ride the first cruise ship gliding across the mirror-like lake ✨
Morning mist drifts between islands as egrets skim the water. Sip wild cloud-mist tea while watching the sunrise gild the lakes and mountains ☀️
📍Address: Ningguo City, Xuancheng, Anhui Province

⛰ Morning Exploration
9:00 Southern Anhui "Tibetan Line" · A Scenic Route Rivaling Highway 318 🌲
Recommended to charter a car or drive an SUV through the "Ten-Mile Gallery" from Chujia Beach to Fangtang Village.
Stop at the Redwood Forest for photos—the khaki-colored sea of trees in autumn is breathtaking! In summer, opt for a bamboo raft ride 🚣
⚠️ Few gas stations on mountain roads—fill up in advance!

🍲 Mountain Cuisine Lunch
12:00 Enlong Mountain Villa · Local Delicacies at Their Finest 🐓
Try fresh flavors in the stilt house: slow-cooked free-range chicken soup, wild bamboo shoots with cured pork, scrambled eggs with toon leaves... These ingredients were in the forest just 3 hours ago! ~¥70 per person for a feast 😋

💦 Afternoon Waterfalls
14:00 Xialin Nine-Sky Silver Falls · A Rare Waterfall Cluster in East China 🌊
A waterplay paradise! Learn from locals to strike the "singing stones" by Thunder Pool 🎵

🌇 Sunset Return
17:30 Huiyun Temple · Breathtaking Thousand-Island Lake View 🌅
Climb to Qinglong Bay's highest point to watch sunset paint the islands crimson.
Make a silent wish with temple bells: Next time, stay in a lakeside treehouse to stargaze ✨
