My most successful travel experience following the trend! It was driving to Jinzhai

✨️🚗 Western Sichuan is beautiful, but western Anhui holds even more surprises! This time, I dug up a niche secret spot—the Jinzhai three-day tour route, which can be called the king of value for money!🌟 Red culture, stunning lake views, secluded canyons, and a self-driving sky road are all included. The key is that there are few people and it's not crowded, the itinerary is easy, and you can encounter idyllic scenery at any time on the weekend~ · 〽️Itinerary: ▫️Day 1: Red Army Square → Meishan Reservoir → Tiechong Coffee → Tiechong Township Azalea Ridge ▫️Day 2: Jianshanshui Camping Site → Runyi Tea Coffee → Xichagu Theme Park → Yanzihe Grand Canyon ▫️Day 3: Tiantangzhai Scenic Area → Hongling Highway → Mazongling · 🚩 Jinzhai Red Army Square Walking up the steps, the Martyrs' Memorial Tower stands tall, and the museum contains Jinzhai's red imprints. · ⛲️Meishan Lake Scenic Area When it was first built, it was the "world's highest continuous arch dam." The lake and mountains are like a green emerald inlaid in the mountains. · 🌺Tiechong Township Azalea Ridge (limited to April–May) The mountains are full of azaleas in full bloom, and the sea of flowers near Mazongling and Moyunjian is also very dense. · ☕ TC·Tiechong Coffee A treasure coffee shop hidden in the fields! Take photos with "Old Tie Drinking Coffee" and with the scarecrows in the fields. · ⛺Zhongqi·Jianshanshui Camping Base A campsite in the mountains and rivers where you can take a bamboo raft and float on the water, or you can barbecue and pick tea at the campsite, and then drink a glass of Guapian beer🍺. The tea fragrance is clear to the heart~ · 🍵Runyi Tea Coffee Have you ever had a drink that combines coffee and Lu'an Guapian tea? Under the waterfall and under the tea mountain, use a cup of Guapian latte to feel the collision of new trends and traditions. · 🏞Lu'an Xichagu Theme Park Go up the mountain to pick tea, and go down the mountain to taste tea. The Thousand Island Tea Sea unfolds here. It would be great to wear Hanfu or a plain long dress to take pictures in the tea garden. · 📍 Yanzihe Grand Canyon Go deep into the canyon and feel the magic of nature among the green mountains and rivers. · ⛰️ Tiantangzhai Scenic Area This is the "last primitive forest in East China"! You can cross two provinces in one step on the top of the mountain. The waterfalls in the waterfall group are one after another. It is recommended to choose to hike down the mountain from the middle station, and you can see more waterfall secrets along the way! · 🛣China Hongling Highway (Martin Highway) This "Western Anhui 318" has nine curves and eighteen bends. Mountain flowers line the road in spring, and red leaves cover the mountains in autumn. Stop at the Mazongling Viewing Platform in the middle. If you have aerial photography, you can overlook the mountains like giant dragons entrenched, which is shocking to the point of speechlessness! · 📝 Useful tips 🛻 Transportation guide: It is recommended to drive by yourself. Some mountain roads are narrow, so novices should drive slowly; 🏩 Accommodation recommendation: Stay at Tiechong Township Min🏠 "Dongxiao Xunxili" on Day 1, and strongly recommend the camping base "Jianshanshui Camping Base" on Day 2 (remember to book a tent in advance); ⛺ 🍲 Food recommendation: Tiantangzhai Diao Chicken, Jinzhai Red Tofu, Lu'an Guapian Fried Shrimp, Pearl Vegetable...
