Shuimotingxi scenic spot is a beautiful place to go to for walking, swimming, fishing, exploring the water and mountains, trees, and doing some fun activities that you can find inside the scenic spot. We found a small cave, a lot of interesting plants and animals (frogs). You can see the clear water, amazing different shapes of stones, somehow slippery so be careful on your steps all the time. It’s just so relaxing to feel the breeze, be closer to the nature and just admiring it. Remember to wear comfortable shoes for walking and swimming on the water with stones ( we bought crocs on the street for 25rmb) It’s super comfy and reliable to wear around.

Self-driving in the south of Anhui and the Sichuan-Tibet line (Part 1)
Xuancheng·Anhui Tingxi Scenic Area
The unpredictable storm, thunder and lightning warning still couldn't stop the footsteps of the long-distance car breaking through the foothills of southern Anhui. When we set off, the sky was gloomy, and there was a sporadic light rain near Xuancheng, followed by sudden changes in weather. We passed by Jingting Mountain, and the water color of the mountain area was green and the rice fields were tender green like a blanket.
Ting San She is a special place on the way. Mr. Xian Peng Zhang, who is over seventy years old, is elegant and indifferent. Ting San was originally the word of his father who was a private school teacher. He was happy to hear the sound of chickens pecking at rice, the sound of sweeping the courtyard, and the sound of reading aloud in the morning. The roof of the house can overlook several lotus ponds, the stream behind the house is rapid, and there is a bamboo raft tied to the maple tree, and there are ducks swimming under the bridge.
Jing County Qinxima Ancient Town has shown its decline, and there are few residents in the town. Although the tailor shop and the bamboo craftsman stick to the old business, they are powerless to continue. The Qingyi River silently flows past the deserted stone reef.
Apart from the racing car rolling over the rushing stream and exploring the pebbles on the bank in the Moon Bay Scenic Area, the rest of the bamboo raft drifting is unbearable to witness. The car watched the bamboo and hurried past, and then the passionate rafting and high-altitude wings of the Ink Tingxi were completely devoid of wild interest.
Turning and driving on the narrow mountain road, the clouds and mist cover the peaks, and an old dog stands in the middle of the road among the lush green bamboo forests, in order to watch the spectacular view of Taoling winding mountain and stay overnight in the mountain ridge sea of clouds.
🏞The South Anhui Sichuan-Tibet line is also known as South Anhui 318, a route that appreciates the Tibetan scenery in the soft feelings of Jiangnan, with a total length of about 120 kilometers, which can be walked in both directions, and the main line can be extended to the surrounding villages, and there will be different wonderful discoveries.
🚙Itinerary: On the first day, drive from Xuancheng direction through the Moon Bay Scenic Area to the Ink Tingxi Scenic Area in Suhong Township, and park the car in Taoling, just for the most exciting section of Taoling Seventy-two Bends the next day.
🥳Highlights: Moon Bay Scenic Area, natural scenery + artificial control, steep mountains, flying streams. Ink Tingxi Scenic Area, primitive ecology, landscape aesthetics, has been surrounded by scenic spots.
You can go to the ancient town of Matou on a branch line. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and water. In the past, Huizhou goods were all transported by water, so merchants gathered here and shipping was developed, creating a glorious time.
🍵There are homestays along the way, and accommodation and dining are convenient.
