Rated as the "Best Travel Destination in the World" by National Geographic, I regret coming here
Hi, I am Fushengbanrixiany
What I want to share with you today is a niche treasure travel destination - Tonglu, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River selected by National Geographic Magazine. The environment is very natural and primitive, and there are many quaint and quiet ancient villages, which are suitable for a slow experience of local life.
📍【Itinerary】
Day 1️⃣Yan Ziling Fishing Platform·Fuchun River Little Three Gorges-Luci Village
Day 2️⃣ Daqishan National Forest Park-Chuiyun Tongtian River
Day 3️⃣Shishe Village-Maliang Ancient Trail
👉 Yan Ziling Fishing Platform (Fuchun River Little Three Gorges): It was named after Yan Ziling, who lived in seclusion here in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Ticket price is 122/person, open from 8:30-16:00, you need to take a cruise to enter the fishing platform, it will open when it is full. The scenic spot consists of East Terrace, West Terrace, Mr. Yan’s Temple, Cangbo Bridge, and Stele Corridor.
It was a cloudy day when we went there, which felt great. We rode on the Fuchun River, facing the wind, and watching the layers of water ripples. Under the influence of the fog, the mountains in the distance were looming, like an ink painting, it was really beautiful! Of course, sunny days are also beautiful!
When we arrived at the fishing platform, we began to climb up to enjoy the scenery. Along the way, many staff members dressed up as ancient people, and there were performances and free tea. There are green plants, bamboos and ancient trees everywhere, so it will be cooler in the summer.
👉Luci Village: Luci is a famous "hometown of Jinshi", especially the Fang family represented by Fang Gan and Fang Kai in the Tang and Song dynasties, which can be regarded as the most famous scholarly family in Tonglu's history. There is Luci Creek in front of the village. Less than three miles along the Luci Creek waterway, you will reach Fuchun River. Here is the most beautiful ancient road in Tonglu - Maling Ancient Road. If you have plenty of time, you can take a walk there. It is pristine and natural. This place is not far from Shishe Village, so we can be together.
👉 Daqishan National Forest Park: Ticket price 🎫52/person, open from 8:30-16:00, a famous scenic spot in Tonglu, with a high green coverage rate. There are green trees, streams and waterfalls along the way. It is really comfortable to climb mountains in nature! The highest point is the Daqi Waterfall, along the way you will pass by the Tianchi, rope bridge, iron chain bridge, pavilion, water curtain waterfall, etc. Go down the mountain and experience the "flying squirrel in the forest".
👉 Chuiyun Tongtian River: Ticket price is about 300 yuan/person. It is an underground karst river. Due to crustal movements and volcanic eruptions billions of years ago, the geographical area of the scenic spot has formed a typical karst karst landform. The projects inside include: Tongtian River - a karst underground river, Lingyun Sky Bridge - a 300-meter cross-mountain glass sky bridge, high-altitude swing, Jiutian Cloud Corridor - a 100-meter mountain glass cloud corridor, and Lingkong Floating - a 1,350-meter glass water slide, which are mainly for fun.
👉 Shishe Village: With a history of more than 400 years, this village has many unique stones. In the early years, villagers lived in houses built of stones by the mountains and water, so it was named Shishe. The natural scenery here is very nice and relatively primitive. Some of the houses are stone houses from the Qing Dynasty. They are well preserved, simple, natural and quiet. It is recommended to go there. I recommend "Saxiu Cafe", I like the whole environment.
👉 Maling Ancient Trail: There is an entrance near Shishe Village. The environment is very primitive and natural, with lush green trees and a gurgling stream on the side. There are few people and it is very comfortable. You can also walk from Shishe Village to Luci Village, which is about 10 kilometers long.
📍【Food Sharing】
🔵Jiangnan Commune (Signature Fish Head, Original Rice Paste, Stir-fried Beef, Steamed Egg, Salted Goose)
🔵 Fat Po Restaurant (Three Fresh Vegetables, Crispy Pork Noodles, Beef in Tomato Sauce)
🔵Shishe Rice Sieve Climbing (in Shishe Village, local specialty)
📍【Transportation options】
It is recommended to drive yourself, as some scenic spots and ancient villages are relatively remote and it is not easy to get a taxi.
I hope this note can bring some help to friends who go to Tonglu. Have fun~
