Phoenix Source, also known as Huangshan East Sea Grand Canyon and Xianggu Source, is a large canyon between Xiandu Peak and Bushui Peak in Huangshan East Sea, with a depth of more than 10 kilometers. It is said that this is the place where Emperor Huangdi's beloved wife Leizu raised phoenixes, and it is the hometown of phoenixes. There is also a strange stone on Xiandu Peak, which looks like a phoenix, with its head raised and about to fly, as if it is about to leave the source, so it is named Phoenix Source. The original ecological landscape is still preserved in Fenghuangyuan, with colorful mountain flowers, outstanding peaks, strange rocks, flowing green water, dense forests and full of wildness. Fenghuangyuan is very unique among the many canyons in Huangshan, with a blend of scene and scenery and infinite charm. People today have poems praising it: The phoenix dances in the sky and sings in the four seas; meet in Lover's Valley and return to Fenghuangyuan. There is a pass at the entrance of Fenghuangyuan Valley, called Wuni Pass, which was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of 400 years. It was an important pass to enter Huizhou and Huangshan in ancient times, and it was also a battleground for military strategists. According to the "Annals of She County", in history, there was a touching story of the Southern Song Dynasty chivalrous woman Xianggu and her husband assisting Yue Fei in fighting against the Jin Dynasty; in modern times, there was a heroic scene where the martyr Fang Zhimin led the Red Army's anti-Japanese advance team to the north to fight against the reactionaries. Cross the Phoenix Bridge from National Highway 205 and you will enter the Phoenix Source. The Phoenix Bridge is an ancient stone bridge that has been widened for the convenience of tourists, but the "Phoenix Tree" beside the bridge is enough to prove its existence. Standing on the Phoenix Bridge and looking up, you can see a stone phoenix lying on the green mountain in front of the opposite Bushui Peak, like a phoenix looking at the Mudan Peak.

During the hot summer, you must visit Southern Anhui to cool off!!!

Southern Anhui in summer, not a bit City😭 The summer in Southern Anhui features clear skies and fresh air. If foreigners love to visit the bustling City☕, then Chinese people definitely prefer to immerse themselves in the natural🌿Nature. After the torrential rains and floods, Southern Anhui has returned to its tranquil state, making it perfect for summer water fun and relaxation. Below is a 3-day and night itinerary for cooling off and playing in the water in Southern Anhui, hoping to help you. **Day 1:** Fenghuangyuan Furong Valley Departing from Nanjing, it takes a 3-hour drive to reach the Fenghuang Scenic Area, where you can drive right up to the entrance. As you climb up, the water becomes clearer, and at the top is the Drinking water source. Dogs can swim in the small pool at the bottom of Wanggu, and people can swim a bit further up, with a swim fee of 30 yuan per person. It takes about several hours to climb the mountain. After playing, return to the homestay to rest, staying at a homestay near the north gate of Mount Huangshan. **Day 2:** Lucun - Daguling - Baishiling Drive for about 10 minutes at four in the afternoon to reach the Lucun scenic area, where you can park at the navigation ticket office🅿️ to save some walking. After four in the afternoon, you can also watch the 'Wild Tribe' performance, and you can play in the water at the 'Seeking Spring' spot. Return to the homestay in the evening for dinner and rest. **Day 3:** Drunken Mountain Wilderness The 【Drunken Mountain Wilderness Scenic Area】 is actually divided into 【Huangya Grand Valley】 and 【Ciyun Ancient Cave】. Having seen many caves before and with limited time, we chose the Huangya Grand Canyon. The overall water volume was huge after the rain, and the waterfalls were spectacular. The feeling that hits you is not the mist, but the freedom I've lost over the years of working.

The natura

The natural landscape of Huangshan is rich and diverse. It not only has a magnificent Jiulong Waterfall, but also a steep and fragrant Lotus Valley, like a huge natural museum. Phoenix source is one of the main landscapes of Huangshan Mountain. It is also a large gorge between Huangshui Haibu Water Peak and Xiandu Peak. Its magnificent landscape seems to be carved out by God's hands, making people forget to return. In the canyon of the phoenix source, countless rocks are lingering between the streams. As for the meaning of each stone, it depends on the endless imagination of the people. There are a thousand in the eyes of a thousand people. Hamlet, in some people's eyes, this stone may resemble a dolphin. In some people's eyes, it is very similar to a sleeping lion. In short, everyone can walk here and give life to these still lifes. The fence is far away, and the narrow valley is like a galaxy. It is said to be the place where the ancestors of the Xuanyuan Huangdis wife and grandfather stocked the phoenix. Therefore, it is also called the hometown of the phoenix. On the Xiandu Peak, there is a strange stone shaped like a phoenix. It is a gesture of eagerness to fly. It has a great potential, hence the name Phoenix source. Huangshan Mountain Scenic Area is full of strange and splendid landscapes, but it is extremely rare to be unique in color like Fengyuan. Lingxiao Waterfall, Xianggu Road, Maoer Eye Pond, Xianggu Shed, Yunya Waterfall, White Bird It is a rare natural landscape.
