Actually, when I first planned the trip to Anhui, I intended to visit Huangshan, but due to the bad weather in Huangshan during the holiday, I changed the plan to Hefei at the last minute. The strategy was made on the fly, and unexpectedly, I was attracted by the tranquility here, mainly city walks, and I feel it's an underrated tourist destination! Here I share my strategy with you for reference~ · About departure and arrival: From Shanghai Hongqiao to Hefei South, the overall consumption in Hefei is not high, so families with a lot of luggage can rest assured to take a taxi! . About the route: Day 1: Hefei South → Hotel → Bao Park → Huaihai Road Pedestrian Street → Xiaoyaojin Park → Lihongzhang Street Day 2: Anhui Provincial Art Museum/Anhui Provincial Museum → Kaifu Temple → Hefei 1972 → Swan Lake Park → Gong Street . PS This strategy is quite special forces, friends who are not so good at city walks can reduce it appropriately~ . After leaving Hefei South Station, of course, you have to drop your luggage off at the hotel first. I suggest booking a hotel near Sanxiao Mouth, as it is convenient to travel by subway or taxi around here~ . The Anhui Provincial Art Museum and the Anhui Provincial Museum are both worth visiting, but if you're on a two-day trip, you might not have enough time, so it's suggested to visit just one of them. A simple and crude judgment is: go to the art museum if you want to take photos, and go to the museum if you want to see exhibitions. . Lihongzhang Street and Gong Street are both better to visit at night for the night view, I personally think they are average during the day, so I suggest you arrange these two places as the last stop of the day~ If you have to choose one, I recommend Lihongzhang Street more~ . Finally, a compliment for Kawangka, truly the Haidilao of the milk tea industry! . Main Attractions Recommended Bao Park Bao Park is built to commemorate Bao Zheng, a clean official of the Northern Song Dynasty, and is a national 4A level tourist attraction. The whole Bao Park covers an area of 34.5 hectares, with an open layout, consisting of Bao Temple, Bao Tomb, Qingfeng Pavilion, Fuzhuang, and other attractions. Inside Bao Temple, there are displays of Bao Zheng's life and his integrity, which is a good place to understand Bao Zheng's culture, and the overall scenery is also nice! . Xiaoyaojin Park Xiaoyaojin Park is located in the northeast corner of the old city area of Hefei. It was historically a ferry port with bridges for crossing. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the park was a private garden of bureaucrats and landlords, occupied by private owners, and after modern careful renovation and management, Xiaoyaojin has become a comprehensive park in Hefei with a beautiful environment and pleasant scenery. The ancient Xiaoyaojin is a witness to Hefei's history, where you can see the classical side of Hefei. . Hefei 1972 Hefei 1972 is a culturally transformed street district, not very large, but divided into different themed venues, with an overall aesthetic style that is very comfortable and nice to stroll around, quite photogenic~ . That's all I can think of, friends, if you have any questions, you can also interact with me in the comments section~ Chu~
