I only found out about this on my trip to Anhui! Who would have thought that such an off-the-beaten-path gem is hidden in Tongling ✅Stunning autumn colors✅Natural hot springs ✅Jiangnan gardens✅Quiet and peaceful - It's not as crowded as Hongcun and is relatively less popular. After spending two days and one night, I've put together this travel guide for enjoying autumn in the small town👇Scroll down👇 - 📍Location: Yongquan Town, Tongling 🚗Self-driving: People from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai can drive here, the scenic area is very close to the highway exit 🚄High-speed train: You can get off at Tongling North Station and take a taxi for 15 minutes - 🚶'Travel Itinerary' Recalling the 12 Scenic Spots of Jiangnan—Jiubao Hot Spring—Jiangnan Snack Street—Garden Stroll—Hot Spring Hotel - ✅Recalling the 12 Scenic Spots of Jiangnan The essence of the trip! Along the way, you can climb up to enjoy the autumn scenery, accompanied by pavilions, streams, and autumn colors... The scenery changes with every step, very charming～(It takes less than 2 hours to hike up the mountain, and you can take a glass slide down) ✅Jiubao Hot Spring In autumn and winter, it's really impossible to refuse a hot spring. The outdoor private hot spring baths allow you to enjoy the warmth while admiring the scenery～ ✅Jiangnan Snack Street You actually use 'copper coins' to buy food!! You need to exchange them at the money exchange in advance. Spicy crab, mutton in copper pot, Jiangnan snacks... and there's even a host and a bonfire party at night, creating a great atmosphere! ✅Garden Stroll If you don't want to climb mountains on the first day, you can take a walk in the gardens. Parents can also take their children to the children's playground - 🏨'About Accommodation' The hotel I stayed in is a hot spring hotel in the scenic area, each room has its own hot spring access, allowing for the freedom of enjoying hot springs♨️ They also provide buffet meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, really good value for money!
