💧Who says free can't be good?
Accidentally stumbled into Baiquan Ecological Scenic Area, and it was the very first day of opening! The spring water is so clear you can count the pebbles at the bottom of the river. The shallow area barely covers the tops of your feet, and the kids were so busy catching fish and splashing around they didn’t want to leave even when soaking wet~
🏞️Every step a scene, every step history!
Walking on the bluestone path, right beside it is the "Spring Gushing White Sand" from Li Panlong’s poem. The kids squatted watching fish while I pointed to the spring source telling the story of Tan Daoji from 1600 years ago, instantly feeling like we touched time and space!
🎪Fun and photo ops all in one!
The children’s playground’s non-powered facilities are hidden under the shade of trees, and the waterfront walkway is perfect for forest-style photos. We also found stone piers by the spring, super convenient for kids to change shoes—full marks for attention to detail!
🗺️Secret route revealed!
Got the official tour map (last picture) on purpose: enter from the east gate, play in the water first → rest at the playground → take sunset photos along the walkway, no detours the whole way! Staff said there’s no announcement yet, so it’s best to come early on weekends~
