🏞️Next, visit the Yongqiao Wuliu Scenic Area recommended by local friends. Here, you can find not only ancient buildings but also picturesque lakes and mountains. Walking through the area feels like stepping into a landscape painting. The farmhouse restaurant next to the Wuliu Scenic Area is full of life, with several large iron pots in the yard, where fresh vegetables are slowly simmered over a wood fire. It's delicious!🥘

In autumn, Huangcangyu is covered in layers of golden and fiery red leaves, creating a breathtaking view.🍁🧘♀️
🌃As night falls, the final highlight is a night tour of Xiaoxian Daihu Park.✨The lake sparkles, and the lights are dazzling. Take a walk along the lake, enjoy the tranquility and peace, and end the day with a perfect note.👫🌌

Spring outing in Jianghuai, take a trip close to nature in Huangzangyu |||🚗【Self-driving】
I had the good fortune to go to Xiaoxian this time, and although there are many scenic spots I wanted to visit, feeling the endless beautiful spring outdoors, I decided to start with a self-driving trip close to the natural landscape, and Huangzangyu National Forest Park is my first choice of destination for this 'spring outing in Jianghuai'.
✅【Here】
Huangzangyu is located in the southeast of Xiaoxian, originally named Huangsangyu. It is said that during the Chu-Han Contention, Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han dynasty, was defeated by Xiang Yu and took refuge here alone, hence the name 'Huangzangyu'.
🌳【Wilderness】
1⃣️ Following the secluded paths of the scenic area, looking around, the mountains are majestic and the woods are lush.
2⃣️ Here is the best-preserved deciduous broad-leaved forest belt at the same latitude on Earth, as well as the largest ancient tree community in China. Coupled with the pleasant breeze and the fragrance of birds and flowers along the way, it makes one feel refreshed and full of vitality.
3⃣️ Everywhere you can see cascading waterfalls, springs, and mysterious caves and valleys. Attractions like the Sword Spring, Peach Blossom Cave, Viewing Cliff, Inkstone Washing Pool, and Guolao Cave Waterfall are all worth seeing natural landscapes.
4⃣️ When you climb up to the high viewing platform, the sense of relief and openness that comes from overlooking everything is the most healing.
