Two-day itinerary for Tiantangzhai and Swallow River Grand Canyon.
⛱️Must-see attraction: Baima Grand Canyon
🌄Travel tips: Tiantangzhai tickets are valid for 48 hours. You can enter the park again by facial recognition. Take the shuttle bus to the cable car station. On the first day, take the cable car to the top of the mountain. The cable car costs CNY 70 to go up and CNY 60 to go down. There is a mid-station. If you get off at the mid-station and take the cable car again, it still costs CNY 70 to go up and CNY 60 to go down. If you want to save energy, you can take the cable car up and walk down to see the waterfalls.
After taking the cable car up, go to the Anhui-Hubei border first. After that, go to the Baixiangxi Water direction, and then walk down. You can see the waterfalls on the way. There are no highlights along the way. It takes 3 hours to reach the shuttle bus transfer station.
On the second day, take the shuttle bus and get off at Baima Grand Canyon. Walk down more than 400 steps to the bottom of the canyon. Walk slowly along the stream. The water is beautiful. It takes more than 2 hours to reach the exit. You don't need to take the shuttle bus again.
If you have time in the afternoon, you can go to Swallow River Grand Canyon. Go up the mountain from the right to Tianchi, climb the stairs, and then walk down the plank road. It's quite tiring.
🏨Accommodation tips: There are many accommodations at the entrance of Tiantangzhai. This time, I stayed at Tiantangzhai One Mountain House. The stay was comfortable and the food was delicious.
💗Other tips: If you stay at the entrance of Tiantangzhai, you can walk to the park. You can also go to Ma Zongling to see the autumn leaves, run a section of Martin Road, and visit Dawan Village.

Heavenly Paradise: The Majestic Mountains and Rivers Amidst the Mist
Heavenly Paradise truly lives up to its name, stunning visitors with its beauty. The endless mountain ranges seem to stretch on forever, shrouded in mist that gives the place an ethereal quality. From the summit, the magnificent scenery unfolds before your eyes, with distant mountains appearing and disappearing in the mist, creating a sense of purity and detachment from the mundane world. Walking along the winding paths, listening to the babbling streams and the chirping birds, one feels completely at one with nature.
The waterfalls in Heavenly Paradise are also a highlight not to be missed. Water cascades down from great heights, splashing and creating a refreshing mist that invigorates the senses. The lush vegetation, with its verdant trees and oddly shaped rocks, adds to the surprise at every step. The natural oxygen bar environment allows you to breathe in pure air, completely relaxing your body and mind.
Heavenly Paradise is even more breathtaking at dawn or dusk. The morning glow or sunset reflecting off the mist and mountains turns the entire area into a picturesque scene. The natural beauty here is so captivating that it makes you reluctant to leave, as if you are truly in a heavenly paradise, a tranquil place where the soul can be cleansed.

Bring a thin coat/sunscreen, the wind on the mountain will be cool, 22℃ Tian Dang Zhai is not a joke

The Dabie Mountains hide beautiful scenery, and in Tianzhuai you can see the cascading waterfalls~ Impressions from a trip to Anhui Tianzhuai
2024/4/27-28 is the time to travel to Anhui Tianzhuai. Tianzhuai has two scenic area gates, one in Tianzhuai Town of Lu'an, Anhui, and the other in Luotian, Hubei. It was here that the Liu-Deng army marched thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains to establish a revolutionary base. To this day, the former frontline headquarters of the Liu-Deng army's advance into the Dabie Mountains is still preserved as a memorial museum to the right of the main gate of the Anhui Tianzhuai scenic area, and it is worth a visit. The Tianzhuai scenic area is very beautiful, with dense forests and fresh air. At the mountaintop, you can see the Anhui-Hubei boundary marker, General Rock, and other attractions. There are many waterfalls of various sizes and shapes in the mountains, which are quite a sight to see. The streams in the canyon are sometimes crystal clear to the bottom, sometimes emerald green like jade, deep and unseen. The water here is very spiritual, ice-cold to the bone. It's a great place to escape the summer heat, and there are many very nice homestays inside and outside the scenic area, with prices ranging from 100-300, clean and sanitary. The scenic area ticket is 90 yuan per person when purchased online in advance, valid for 48 hours, and there is a cable car inside the scenic area, convenient for the elderly and tourists who do not like climbing. This is a relatively niche attraction, because it is still not very convenient to get here. After taking the high-speed train to Jinzhai Station in Lu'an, it takes nearly 2 hours to drive on the national road, all through mountain roads, but the scenery along the way is nice, with very natural rural beauty.

The trip to Tiantangzhai, a very painful to hear, has been deeply stirred in my memory of Tiantangzhai. He and she both believe that people have a past and present life and can continue the forefront. Whether it is the "Meng Po Tang" on the "Nai He Bridge" or the "Three Lifes" on the "Three Stones", after all, they believe it. Past and Present". It must be the regrets or wishes of the past life, and they have met each other in this life. So they decided radically, dont have any regrets, and if they want to say something, they feel perfect, do a good goodbye, or never separate. .
So every year there are couples, choose to say goodbye to this life here...
旅行啦文龙.
Anhui Tiantangzhai Scenic Spot is located in the southwest of Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, in the hinterland of Dabie Mountain. It integrates the National Forest Park, the main park of the Dabie National Geological Park, the national AAAAA-level tourist scenic spot and the national nature reserve.
Tiantang Village, there is an ancient name "Cloudy Mountain" full of poetry and paintings. The surrounding area is surrounded by clouds, Junfeng stands, and the waterfalls are elegant.
The highest peak is 1729.13 meters. It is one of the main peaks of the Dabie Mountains. It was called the first pass of the southeast of Wuchu. There are 108 large and small waterfalls in the scenic area, including 18 roads with a drop of more than 50 meters. A night in the mountains, rain everywhere, is spectacular. Inside the canyon, the mountain is majestic and the stream is deep. With a forest cover rate of 96.5%, it is a natural oxygen bar, and is known as the last virgin forest in East China. Nanhe Village at the foot of Tiantangzhai is a famous longevity village. Here, the ancient folk houses and the primitive and simple folk customs make you stay and return.
Where there is water in the mountains, there must be a unique spirituality. The mountain is calm, you can feel the heart, the water gives the spirit, you can clear your heart. The mountains are tall and straight, and the rivers are out of the valley.
Water is the most important symbol of this land. She is soft and unconstrained. Sometimes, in the valley, she is as quiet as a virgin, sometimes like a horse.
The water is white, the stone is black, and the two are clearly interdependent, like the mountain is male, the water is female, intertwined, who can not be separated!
KRISTINA.
The first time I knew Jinzhai was because of a relative's circle of friends, watching him play in Jinzhai very happy, sharing the local natural landscape and folk customs, so he began to quietly pay attention to this place.
Jinzhai, located in the west side of the west coast, is located in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the lush forest forms a natural oxygen bar. The scenic spots include Tiantangzhai, Mazhaoling, Yanzihe Grand Canyon, Meishan Lake, Martin Highway, and small Nanjing rural tourism.
In July this year, the weather in Nanjing was so hot that it was difficult to find a place to avoid the heat, so I thought of Jinzhai. There are mountains, you can bathe your body and mind, have water, and have a little more fun!
KRISTINA.
It is said that the fall of Anhui is too beautiful. This time I went to Jinzhai, Anhui Province, and ran to the 5A scenic spot [Tiantangzhai]. Just the sun was just right. I saw the snow-white waterfall shining in the sunlight, and the green and yellow turned red, and I believed. As the second peak of the Dabie Mountains, Tiantangzhai has the reputation of the last piece of virgin forest in East China. Ascend to the summit, the north can be seen in the Central Plains, the south can be seen in Jingchu, and the mountains are all in sight. Strong and courageous to go to the scenic area of the strop, in the whistling wind, the autumn is intense and intense, the head is more than a hundred meters of deep canyon, this naked thrilling, just my food
