【transportation】
🚄: Wuhan Station-Tongling Station 3h
🚘: Wuhan to Tongling 4.5h
❗️❗️Tongling Station is close to the city, and Tongling North Station is close to Yongquan Town

【stay】
Liqiao Water Town Resort Hotel
❗️❗️If you have children or elderly people, you can choose to live in the water town directly. You can slowly stroll around the water town at night and watch two shows of iron flower making without having to go back to the city after the show. (You can buy hotel packages in groups, which include food, accommodation and entertainment.) It is very difficult to get a taxi out of the scenic area, at least half an hour!

【journey】
Day 1: Tongling Station - Museum - Liqiao Water Town

Day 2: Yongquan Town - Changjiang Road Pedestrian Street - Return
【Tongling Museum】
It is open to the public free of charge. It is best to make an appointment during holidays. It is not very necessary during weekdays and not many people go there.
【Liqiao Water Town】
Ticket price: 32.9. If you stay at the hotel there, you can buy a package that includes food, accommodation and entertainment. There is also a 24-hour sightseeing bus on call!
❗️It is recommended to arrive before 4 o'clock, as the later you arrive, the more traffic there will be. During peak season, traffic control in scenic spots may require a long walk to get in.
In the afternoon, I walked around the water town. There were performances all day long from 10 am to 10 pm.
In the evening, you must go to Fangtang to grab a good spot to watch the iron flower making at night. Seeing is believing, the intangible cultural heritage is really shocking.
❗️❗️Highly recommend making iron flowers!

【Yongquan Town】
Tickets: You can buy a package in group for 116, including the ticket coins.

The most attractive thing is that you can exchange copper coins for delicious food in Jiangnan Flavor in the town. The uncles and aunts there are all locals and act as NPCs. It’s like traveling back to ancient times.
The Twelve Scenes of Jiangnan require hiking. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes. The hike takes 2 hours and the night view is still very beautiful.

【Changjiang Middle Road Pedestrian Street】
It is similar to the pedestrian streets in every city. Many old local snacks are in it, and you can stroll around the underground shopping street.

【gourmet food】
Yu Ling's hot pot, sister vermicelli, stewed dishes in Shuizhen, Wenzhou fried chicken legs, wonton, sister-in-law chicken noodle soup, local milk tea brand Kawangka
【Notes】
❗️❗️It is very difficult to get a taxi no matter which scenic spot you leave. It is recommended to make an appointment half an hour in advance. Especially the Tongling Museum, it is really difficult to get a taxi. The bus stop at the door has been abandoned for a long time, so don't wait for the bus.
❗️❗️The driving time between scenic spots is about half an hour and the fare is 30-40. Using Didi will be slightly cheaper than Gaode, and it is also easier to receive orders. There are some taxi drivers at the entrance of the scenic spot who deliberately refuse to accept orders and ask for a fare increase. If you are not in a hurry, you can ignore them.
