Before leaving Jing County, I checked in at the Xuan Paper Museum, a landmark building in Jing County that indeed brought surprises. It is not only a holy place for photography but also allows for an in-depth appreciation of the intangible cultural charm of 'paper longevity for a thousand years, ink charm for ten thousand years.' Such popular museums are beneficial in many ways. The Xuan Paper Museum, built against the mountains, is located in the Xuan Paper Cultural Park. It was invested by the Hongxing Xuan Paper Factory, costing one hundred million, and the designer is Professor Yu Kongjian, who participated in the Water Cube project. It's another project where a master makes a move. As soon as you enter the museum, you step into a space soaked in Chinese aesthetics. Inspired by the shape of ancient books, the main body of the building is full of tension. Square grilles, through different angles, present the sequential sense of stacking paper, perfectly integrating with Chinese courtyards and Huizhou ancient architecture, as if creating a 'heaven outside heaven' of Xuan paper. Under the effect of light and shadow, walking among them is like a breeze flipping through pages of paper, inviting visitors to read the wordless history that has been passed down for a thousand years. Everything has a spirit, and Xuan paper is one of them. It carries other people's stories and also shapes its own extraordinary. 'Light as cicada's wings, white as snow, fluttering like fine silk without a sound,' a sheet of Xuan paper requires carefully selected Shatian rice straw and Qingtan tree bark, polished through 108 processes to meet the standards of 'ink absorption, deformability, durability, and insect resistance.' The craft of papermaking is not achieved overnight, and it is said that just the paper lifting process takes three to five years to learn. No wonder it is said that Xuan paper embodies the principles of being human: 'There are no shortcuts to personal growth; one must go through hardships and see the world to strengthen muscles and grow talents.' Xuan paper can be preserved for up to 1050 years. With it as a medium, countless precious ancient books and famous paintings have been passed down. In this light, Xuan paper, costing 1000 yuan per cut, is absolutely worth more than its price, and its title as a national treasure is well deserved. In the Xuan Paper Museum, you can not only converse with the architecture but also fully understand the traditional Xuan paper-making skills and even experience the production process of paper, ink, brush, inkstone, fan, and paper curtain. Unfortunately, the 'Three Zhang Three' giant Xuan production workshop is currently under maintenance and not open to the public. Not being able to thoroughly explore the Xuan Paper Cultural Park this time seems to be an unavoidable regret in every trip. 📮Address: G205, Langqiao Town, Xuancheng City (deep in the mountains) ⏰Business hours: 8:00-16:30 Tips: Free parking, tickets 60

| I want to go crazy in the nature of poetry and distance. I've always known that the southern part of Anhui is beautiful, but it wasn't until I stepped in that I realized 'beautiful' is an understatement. I'm not a man of many words, so I'll let the pictures do the talking. The rural footprint shared this time: Maolin Town, Jing County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province Having been to many cities, I've become somewhat indifferent to tourism. Now, I prefer the natural and unadulterated, not chasing after famous spots, simply walking in the countryside. When I'm in a good mood, everywhere is a scenic spot. When tired, I just sit and space out, which is quite nice... If the weather is kind, after a light rain, everything is the best arrangement... Having reached the hometown of Xuan paper, it seems a bit negligent not to immerse myself in the process of its making, since I'm here anyway... China Xuan Paper Culture Park Address: Wuxi Village, Langqiao Town, Jing County Ticket price: 60 RMB per person (worth it or not, it's subjective) Feature: Watch the Xuan paper making process; a photogenic spot at an exit of the 'National Paper Living Room' San Rabbit Xuan Brush Factory Address: 50 meters north of County Road 095, Jing County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province Ticket price: Free Feature: Watch the Xuan brush making process Tea Picking Address: Xunkeng Group, Maolin Town (the homestay I stayed at, you can see it just standing in the yard) Accommodation: Maolin Xiuzhu Boutique Homestay Address: Xunkeng Group, Maolin Town, Jing County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province Dining: The homestay offers meals (breakfast and main meals); You can also leisurely sit by the window and have a cup of coffee Transportation: Convenient, road conditions are very good, mostly asphalt roads; If you, like me, appreciate the original natural beauty of the countryside, you can choose to drive about 15 minutes to 'Fengkeng Village', where the sound of the wind, birds, and the mooing of cows are incredibly pleasant (note, the road conditions in this village are not very good on rainy days, with wet and slippery dirt roads, so be careful for safety)
