I went to Tianzhu Mountain in Anhui this summer and discovered that this fairy mountain is really underestimated. Here I saw the mist-shrouded fairyland, as well as the strange peaks and beautiful water, and was shocked by the uncanny workmanship of nature! As one of the three famous mountains in Anhui that is as famous as Huangshan, it is less crowded and smooth to visit. 🚣‍♀You can also go canyon rafting here, which is cool and exciting. Going there during summer vacation is simply a much better experience than Huangshan. - 📍Tianzhushan Global Geopark 💰Tickets: 130r/person, cableway up 80r/person, down 60r/person, Jiuqu River Canyon Rafting + high-altitude glass rafting 198r/person. 👉How to get there 🚅Take the high-speed rail to Qianshan Station and transfer to the tourist line for 10r/person. You can also take a taxi directly. ✈You can fly directly to Anqing Tianzhushan Airport or drive there by yourself. There are many parking lots in the scenic area. - 🏞Game guide We spent two days this time. We arrived in the morning on the first day, went rafting on the Jiuqu River in the afternoon, and climbed the Tianzhu Mountain small loop on the second day. Those with strong physical strength can choose the Tianzhu Mountain large loop. - 1⃣Small loop line, the whole journey takes about 3 hours: Dalongwo Cableway (top) ➡ Zhenyigang ➡ Mysterious Valley ➡ Tianchi Peak ➡ Tianzhu Peak ➡ Baiyue Terrace ➡ Zongguan Village (Hundred Steps Ladder) (bottom) ➡ Dalongwo Cableway 2⃣Large Ring Road, the whole journey takes about 6 hours: Dalongwo Cableway (top) ➡ Zhenyigang ➡ Mysterious Valley ➡ Tianchi Peak ➡ Tianzhu Peak ➡ Baiyue Platform ➡ Immortal Cave (bottom) ➡ Qinglongbei ➡ Lotus Peak ➡ Alchemy Lake ➡ Yingzhen Peak ➡ Feihu Peak (formerly Road return) ➡Alchemy Lake ➡Health Trail ➡Dalongwo Cableway - 📸Recommended check-in seats 1⃣Hundred-step ladder: It is extremely steep. The stairs go up as far as the eye can see and are perpendicular to the mountain face. It is particularly shocking. 2⃣Mysterious Valley: A mysterious stone valley formed by huge rocks. There are holes in the caves, and they are winding and deep. 3⃣Tianzhu Peak: Tianzhu Peak holds the sun and moon. You can reach out to embrace the stars, sun and moon, clouds and mist pass through your fingers, and you can also overlook the Alchemy Lake. 4⃣Tianchi Peak: Looking across from Tianzhu Peak in the distance, I also saw the surging wind and clouds this time, which was very spectacular. 5⃣Alchemy Lake: Like a huge sapphire inlaid in the mountains, the lake and mountains look like a fairy world. 6⃣Qinglongbei: A ridge that can only be crossed by one person. The valleys on both sides are deep and the view is very broad. 7⃣Cliff Plank Road: The cliff plank road built in the sky is thrilling and exciting. 8⃣Yingzhen Peak: The rocks are rugged and surrounded by cliffs. The entire mountain peak is spiral-shaped, and the rocks are arranged at random, forming a mysterious natural cave. 9⃣Flying Tiger Peak: There is a huge stone like a tiger on the peak, which looks up to the sky and roars, and is about to soar, lifelike. - Other tips ✅The temperature on the mountain is low, more than 10° lower than the ground, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It is recommended to prepare a jacket or sun protection clothing. ✅Be prepared with thick-soled shoes and trekking poles for walking, and go up the mountain in a lightweight manner without excessive burden. ✅Bring your own dry food to cushion your stomach, as supplies on the mountain will be a bit expensive. ✅There are many farmhouses nearby, where you can eat local specialties such as Qianshan fried noodles, roasted pork with dried bamboo shoots, braised chicken, and fish stew.

along the Eastern Pass route of Tianzhu Mountain you will meet a bizarre rock, just on the side of Quanzhang Cliff, called Drumstick Rock. It stands alone and upright, with the upper part thick and lower part thin. This route is one of the best scenic area of Tianzhushan and very few tourists explore it. They were doing a big renovation with brand new plank road. #lucaworldtraveler

The Tianzhushan Unesco Geopark is famous for its beautiful granite landforms, and is also rich in culture and history with more than a thousand years: relics from the Neolithic Period can be found here, the fiefdom of the ancient Wan State was located here during the Spring and Autumn Period and in 106 BC Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended Tianzhushan and referred to it as Sacred Southern Mountain. #lucaworldtraveler

in Tianzhu Mountain can admire an interesting phenomenon on the surface of the granites where there are pits of various sizes and arranged like the big dipper so its name Big Dipper Pits. This is sure to the granite weathering and erosion: first the minerals of the surface peeled off, than pits become bigger and deeper, wind and water erosion repeatedly. #2023travelwish #lucaworldtraveler

the main peak of Tianzhushan is so called for its resemblance to a towering pillar. Composed of medium-grained monzonitic granite from the early Cretaceous period (128 million years ago). Since the vertical and diagonal joints are well-developed and intersect with each other on granite, deep weathering occurs, which causes the disintegration and collapse of the rock mass, eventually forming the pillar-like peak. #2023travelwish #lucaworldtraveler

The solitary peak rises like a pillar supporting the sky, earning the reputation of "A Pillar Holding Up the Sky." It is the core attraction of Tianzhu Mountain but cannot be climbed and can only be admired from a distance. ● Mysterious Valley: A natural maze formed by piled giant rocks, known as the "First Secret Granite Cave." It is deep and winding, with changing scenery at every turn. Walking through it offers shifting light and shadow, full of fun but physically demanding. ● Tianchi Peak and Tianzhu Peak Viewing Platform: The best spot to view Tianzhu Peak, offering a wide view on clear days. It is also an excellent place to watch the sunrise, sea of clouds, and sunset glow. ● Liandan Lake: A high mountain flat lake at 1,100 meters altitude, shrouded in mist like a fairyland. The view from above is breathtaking, and visitors can also walk along the lakeside. ● Feilai Peak: One of Tianzhu Mountain's famous peaks, known for its unique shape. ● Qinglong Back: A large, narrow ridge on the mountain. Walking on it is thrilling, ending at the "Wanjingtai" viewing platform surrounded by cliffs on three sides. When enveloped in mist, it feels like riding the clouds. Scenic Area Divisions The entire mountain is divided into nine main scenic areas: Meicheng District, Gukou District, Jiujing District, Mazu District, Liangyao District, Xiguan District, Tianzhu District, Feilai District, and Yujing District.

🌿 A picturesque and ecological paradise Anqing is blessed with both the Dabie Mountains and the Yangtze River. Tianzhu Mountain stands proudly as the "Earth's Secret Revealer," with its ultra-high-pressure metamorphic zone being a geological wonder. The vast expanse of clear water at Huating Lake reflects the surrounding mountains, bringing to life the scene of "thousands of mountains and ten thousand acres of water" described by Zhao Puchu. The Anqing section of the Yangtze River has also seen the reappearance of the "finless porpoise playing in the water" due to ecological restoration, witnessing the green miracle of the "Yangtze River Conservation" initiative and becoming an ecological home for the "smiling angel." The lotus fragrance of Linghu Park and the emerald necklace-like greenery of the Kangxi River landscape belt seamlessly blend the city with nature, creating a livable picture of "the city in the mountains and rivers, and people traveling in the painting." 🎭 The home of opera, a brilliant cultural gem As the birthplace of Huangmei Opera, Anqing's streets and alleys are filled with the graceful rhythm of the opera. When night falls, the classic arias of the Zaifen Huangmei Opera House and the immersive opera experience of Xiaocidian make "seeing the scenery during the day and watching the opera at night" a unique cultural tourism symbol. The "Wall-Sharing Poem" of Six-Foot Alley has been passed down for thousands of years. The 100-meter-long alley carries the essence of "harmony" culture and has become a living museum of the Chinese spirit of courtesy. Zhenfeng Pagoda stands on the bank of the Yangtze River. It is not only an ancient lighthouse for Yangtze River shipping, but also a spiritual symbol of Anqing's "revival of literary style", witnessing the cultural inheritance from the ancient Wan Kingdom to modern industry. 🏙️ Ancient and modern meet, city and scenery coexist The Anqing Yangtze River Bridge, like a giant dragon, spans both banks.

In the old town, the Daobashi Pedestrian Street and the renovated Zhenfeng Pagoda area, traditional buildings and cultural and creative spaces are intertwined. There is not only the craftsman's persistence of the century-old Huyumei Sauce Garden, but also the artistic rebirth of the "Preface and Postscript" bookstore. After night falls, the neon-outlined buildings and the musical fountain of Wanjiang Square decorate the ancient city into a dreamy city of light and shadow, deducing the endless night of "symphony of classical and modern". 🌾 Nostalgic secret, idyllic poetry and painting Yuexi Rainbow Waterfall and Miaodao Mountain National Forest Park in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains attract people for summer heat relief and health preservation with their natural oxygen bar reputation. Yanwo Ancient Village and Doumu Ancient Pottery Village retain the simplicity of traditional villages in southern Anhui, where farming culture and intangible cultural heritage skills continue to thrive. The sea of rapeseed flowers in spring and the colorful forests in autumn create a pastoral ode to Anqing, where "birds on the trees are in pairs, and green waters and mountains bring smiles." ✨ Conclusion: Yicheng is a great place to travel and find peace of mind Anqing is known as the "City of Opportunity", not only because of Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but also because Anqing takes ecology as its foundation, culture as its soul, and innovation as its driving force, achieving a modern poetic residence of "peace and auspiciousness". Whether it is climbing Tianzhu Mountain to see the sea of clouds, listening to the sound of the waves on the Yangtze River, following the Six-Foot Alley to understand harmony, or enjoying the Huangmei Opera to be intoxicated by the local accent, Anqing always invites you to an immersive journey of "resonance between landscape and culture" with its diverse charm.

| A 4-day, 3-night deep dive into Anhui's charm. As the spring breeze gently caresses the white walls and black tiles of Huizhou, and the clear waves of the Xin'an River reflect the blooming rapeseed flowers, a poetic journey through Southern Anhui slowly unfolds. In this land praised by scholars and poets for thousands of years, I spent four days and three nights savoring the landscape, culture, and unique charm of Southern Anhui. 【Itinerary Overview】 D1: Anqing Cultural Roots Exploration - Zhenfeng Pagoda at Yingjiang Temple - Jixian Time Cultural and Creative Park D2: Tianzhu Mountain Nature Exploration - Penglai Fairy Cave in Chizhou - Baishiling Ancient Village D3: Huangshan Huizhou Cultural Experience - Hubian Ancient Village - Daling Mountain Terraces - "Hui Show" Performance D4: Xuancheng Cultural Stroll - Shangzhuang Town Tea Picking and Making Experience 🏮Anqing: Cultural Imprint of a Millennia-Old City Anqing awakens in the morning mist of the Yangtze River. After checking in to the Anqing Fengda International Hotel, an authentic culinary journey begins. The soft glutinous rice balls with braised pork, the fresh silverfish from Ling Lake, and the rich Hu Yumei broad bean paste—each dish tells a story of the city's culinary culture. Strolling through the Daopashi Historical and Cultural District, the melodious sounds of Huangmei Opera drift from the stage. The classic melodies of "The Fairy Couple" echo through the bluestone streets, transporting you back in time. This city, the birthplace of Huangmei Opera, showcases its cultural heritage in the most captivating way. 🌉Zhenfeng Pagoda at Yingjiang Temple: Guardian of the Yangtze River's Cultural Vein Built during the Ming Dynasty, Zhenfeng Pagoda stands like a giant pen on the banks of the Yangtze River. From the top, you can see the rushing river and the panoramic view of the ancient city. The octagonal tower with its upturned eaves and bronze bells jingling in the wind seems to tell the thousand-year-old story of the "First Pagoda on the Yangtze River." 🎨Jixian Time Cultural and Creative Park: Artistic Rebirth of Industrial Heritage Transformed from a cement factory, this cultural and creative park perfectly interprets the aesthetics of old and new. The mottled factory walls become canvases for artists, and the rusty steel frames transform into installation art. Here, you can experience the profound history of the industrial age and touch the innovative pulse of contemporary art. ⛰Tianzhu Mountain: Nature's Masterpiece As a Global Geopark, Tianzhu Mountain's unique peaks and rocks are a sight to behold. The Dongguan route is recommended, where you can experience the thrill of the glass walkway and the steepness of the Qigu Tianti.

In Baishiling Ancient Village, Ming and Qing Dynasty houses stand quietly, and the villagers' pace of life seems unchanged. Every brick and tile tells a story of time. 🖼Huangshan: A Living Museum of Huizhou Culture The white walls and black tiles of Hubian Ancient Village reflect on the Xin'an River, forming a natural ink painting. The golden sea of rapeseed flowers in the Daling Mountain Terraces complements the white walls and black tiles, showcasing the wisdom of agricultural civilization.
