This small town still using copper coins is what Jiangnan looks like in my heart

How long has it been since I last visited my grandma's house and had a meal of handmade buns? City life is filled with various pre-made dishes, which are expensive yet tasteless. What I miss more is the firewood-cooked meals at my grandma's house when I was a child. Every time night falls, the smoke from the kitchen rises slowly. That flavor filled with the essence of the pot is an unforgettable memory for me. Unexpectedly, in this niche treasure spot in Anhui, I found that old feeling again! This is Yongquan Town in Tongling, a paradise still using copper coins! 🚄 Starting from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, you can easily reach here by self-driving in 1-3 hours. You can see the entrance of the town as soon as you get off the highway. If you choose the high-speed rail, you can reach "Tongling North Station" directly, and it takes only 15 minutes by taxi. 🏨 Two-day one-night travel guide - **Day 1**: Arrive early in the morning, check into the hotel, and then stroll around the ancient street with Jiangnan flavor. All kinds of ingredients here are self-produced and sold, very natural. In various shops on the street, you can see grandpas and grandmas shredding noodles and making buns! There is also freshly boiled chicken soup, which is absolutely delicious with puffed rice! For dinner, there is a bonfire performance, paired with crayfish and craft beer🍺, it's super fun. After eating, you can also go to see the night view of the 12 scenes of Jiangnan! - **Day 2**: Wake up to the aroma of a buffet breakfast, and you can go to see the 12 scenes of Jiangnan again during the day, enjoying the natural scenery of the ancient town. Have another buffet lunch at noon, and then take a hot spring bath at Jiubao in the afternoon before returning. 📸 Must-visit spots 12 scenes of Jiangnan: Every spot here is a perfect background for photos. Walking along the valley path, you can hear the sound of babbling streams, see ancient trees and covered bridges, as if stepping into a Jiangnan ink painting. 🈶 Two sections of cloud ladders, the second section 🉑 reaches the watchtower. At night 🌃, the glacier wonder scene is also spectacular! By the way, the 12 scenes at night transform into a dreamy fairyland. Starlight, fireflies, small animals, everything looks like a scene from a fairy tale, making your night full of surprises and mystery. Come to Yongquan Town in Tongling and experience a different Jiangnan trip! 🌈🍃
