Xuancheng Travel Guide: Poetic Living Amidst Brush-and-Ink Landscapes

Step into Xuancheng, the "Hometown of China's Four Treasures of Study," and embark on an artistic journey steeped in the fragrance of ink:

**Day 1: Ascend Heights & Trace Cultural Heritage**
**Jingting Mountain**: Sit alone atop the peak to experience Li Bai's timeless sentiment of "Never tired of gazing at each other," overlooking the misty river city.
**Xuan Paper Cultural Park** (near downtown): Touch the legendary "millennium-lasting" Xuan paper with your own hands, witnessing the craftsmanship of paper-making and sun-drying.
**Xie Tiao Pavilion/Kaiyuan Pagoda**: Climb the pavilion to reminisce Xie Tiao's poetry, gazing at the Wanxi River at dusk to capture the silhouette of "a picturesque river town." Stay overnight downtown** and warm your soul with a bowl of spicy **Shuiyang Three Delicacies (duck feet wrap, duck wings, Shuiyang dried tofu).

**Day 2: Explore Ancient Villages & Poetic Charm**
**Zhaji Ancient Village**: Stroll through Ming-Qing architecture, wander along Xu Creek amid blue-brick houses, and feel time stand still under the carved beams of "Degong Hall."
**Peach Blossom Pond**: Boat across emerald waters, imagining Li Bai and Wang Lun's farewell song—where "the water runs a thousand feet deep" echoes with Tang Dynasty romance. Stay at a riverside homestay**, lulled to sleep by poetry.

**Day 3: Longchuan's Elegance & Cultural Legacy**
**Longchuan Scenic Area**: Discover the "woodcarving art palace" of Hu Clan Ancestral Hall, admire the grandeur of Yishi Minister Archway, and trace the Hu family's centuries-old glory along Longchuan Water Street.
**Jiang Village** (optional): Immerse yourself in Huizhou-style tranquility amid ancestral halls and winding alleys in this "Little Hangzhou." Before departure, savor the savory chewiness of **Jixi Stir-Fried Vermicelli** or the hearty richness of **Hu Shi's Premium Pot**, letting Huizhou flavors linger on your palate.

**Must-Try Xuancheng Flavors**: **Shuiyang Three Delicacies**, **Hu Shi's Premium Pot**, **Jixi Stir-Fried Vermicelli**, Ningguo mountain walnuts.
**Souvenirs**: **Xuan brushes** (jade or purple-hair), **authentic Xuan paper** (Red Star brand recommended), **Jixi Jinshan Shiyu green tea**.
