Wanfo Lake Scenic Area

Wanfo Lake Scenic Area is surrounded by Wanfo Lake, formerly known as Longhekou Reservoir, which is located 30 kilometers southwest of Shucheng County, about 80 kilometers from Hefei and 73 kilometers from Lu'an. The first purpose of going to Wanfo Lake is to see the lake view, the lake water is clear, and there are many small islands in the lake; the second is to see the water conservancy project. The Wanfo Lake Dam was built in 1960. It was built entirely by hand by the people during the three-year natural disaster. It is very remarkable. Wanfo Lake is not small, but the transportation is not convenient. You can drive by yourself and travel around the lake freely. Wanfo Lake Dam is on the north bank of the lake. Tourists usually pass by here first. To the west of the dam is the departure pier where you can take a Cruise. The Cruise have different types and different fees. There are some islands in the lake where you can go to play, such as Yanzi Island, Zhouyu Island, Dragon King Island, etc. Of course, you need to take a boat to go to the island. The vegetation on the island is lush, and the man-made attractions on the island are relatively ordinary. If you don't take a boat, you can also take a walk on the shore. There are some hotels with lake view rooms around Wanfo Lake, and some local restaurants on the way around the lake. It is recommended to taste the local delicacies in the hotels or restaurants - Wanfo Lake fish head, Wanfo Lake abalone, Wanfo Lake steamed fish, Wanfo Lake drunken shrimp, Wanfo Lake shrimp soup, which are known as the "five delicious flowers of Wanfo Lake". Among them, Wanfo Lake fish head is the most famous. Then order a pot of local famous tea "Shucheng Xiaolanhua Tea", don't mention how comfortable it is. Although the price of Dining in the Attraction is a bit expensive, the taste makes people feel that it is worth the money. The advantage of self-driving is that if you are interested, you can also go to Tangchi Town, Shucheng County, Lu'an City, about 10 kilometers east of Sanjiang Wharf, to soak in hot springs. Because this Tangchi Town is west of Tangchi Town, Lujiang County, Hefei City, it is called "West Tangchi". Or drive to Wanfo Mountain, 64 kilometers southwest of Wanfo Lake, where the water of Wanfo Lake comes from. Wanfo Mountain is relatively remote, and the main peak Laofoding is 1,539 meters above sea level. If you want to play, you can stay at the foot of the mountain at night and spend a whole day climbing the mountain the next day.Shucheng · 25.5km from downtown

Take a bus to the entrance, then hike up and down for a total of 4 hours (less than 4 hours for those in good physical condition; expect double the time for children or the elderly). It is recommended to walk along the waterfall. If you don't want to walk down after reaching the top, take the cable car (because the other side is steep and the scenery is not as good as the waterfall side).

Wanfo Lake is absolutely stunning! The lake and mountains complement each other beautifully, offering expansive views. Climbing to a higher vantage point to gaze at the lake is truly invigorating. The air is fresh, making a stroll along the lake incredibly pleasant, and it's also perfect for a family outing with children. The scenic area boasts excellent facilities, clear routes, and breathtaking landscapes, making it a wonderful place to relax and unwind—definitely worth a visit!

The scenery is amazing, it's a thrilling and exciting experience, but it's really difficult for larger people to get through. The distance isn't that far, and it only takes about 2 hours in total. You can also go to the hot springs next door for a soak, which is very convenient.

The scenery at Tiantangzhai in Hubei is absolutely first-rate. However, the facilities aren't great. The cable car was broken, so we had to climb it. Actually, climbing up and taking the cable car down would have been the most comfortable way to get down. The Grand Canyon only offers shuttle service, not pick-up service. It would be great if they could change it to phone reservations or arrange two fixed shuttles. Pet-friendly, that definitely deserves praise. Dogs can ride the bus and elevator without extra charge.

It's worth a visit. It's a relaxing and enjoyable trip. The canyon scenery is beautiful and picturesque, with many rare plants. The waterfalls cascade down like flowing hair, making it a place you'll want to return to again and again.

Overall it's good. Canyon rafting is exciting and water fights are fun. I thought the ticket price was a bit expensive at first, but I will come again. The children also had a lot of fun. It's worth playing.

Environment: No worse than Lushan Waterfall. Perhaps Lushan Waterfall is less impressive because the poet Li Bai visited it. The waterfalls of the Dabie Mountains cascade down, creating a magnificent and refreshing sight, nourishing the soul. We arrived at the waterfall at 9:30 AM and didn't see a rainbow. The entire scenic area was very cool. Since it wasn't a holiday, it wasn't crowded. The boat ride cost 50 yuan; remember to bargain if you're an adult and a child. My personal suggestion: definitely buy tickets online in advance. You can buy a basic package first (rainbow + scenic shuttle + rafting), then buy whatever else you like inside, and you can bargain. There are three types of rafting; the one we tried was the least fun. The river rafting requires you to paddle manually, so make sure you understand the details beforehand. The overall environment of the scenic area is quite nice, but the facilities and services are a bit lacking. Our two-day trip to western Anhui was spent entirely in the mountains, so we didn't get a real sense of nature.

This was originally the Meishan Reservoir Hydropower Station, nestled among mountains. The dam is magnificent and imposing, construction of which began in 1954. Building such a grand project in those days was remarkable, and many leaders have inspected it, including Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaoping, Qiao Shi, and Wen Jiabao. Tickets can be purchased online. After purchasing tickets, you can drive to the paid parking lot below the ticket gate (10 yuan per entry) or park outside the ticket office for free. It's about a ten-minute walk. Here's a tip: the platform on the steps on the hillside to the left of the ticket office is an excellent spot for taking photos of the reservoir. If you only want to take photos, you don't need to pay extra to enter. Overall, the scenery here is beautiful and magnificent, well worth a visit.
