Jingtingshan in Xuancheng City is a rare poetic mountain in the south of the Yangtze River in Anhui. Since ancient times, many literati have written poems about it, among which the most famous is the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's "I never tire of looking at each other, only Jingtingshan"! Li Bai's most simple and straightforward poem embellishes the infinite scenery of Jingtingshan with such poetry! Jingtingshan is located in the northeast corner of Xuancheng City, Xuanzhou District. It is a rare cultural mountain in Anhui, where culture and nature complement each other! Xuanzhou District is the only district under the jurisdiction of Xuancheng City with a profound history and culture and excellent ecological environment. It is a green resort at the junction of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. Jingtingshan is a paradise in the green resort, so beautiful that it is intoxicating! The beauty of Jingtingshan does not need too much description, and the popularity of Jingtingshan does not need to be mentioned! After pressing the shutter in any corner of the scene, a picture-like photo can be formed. Do you like Jingtingshan in Xuancheng City like this? There are many small scenic spots worth visiting in Jingtingshan, such as Jingtingshan Tea Garden, Hongyuan Temple, Guangjiao Temple Twin Towers, mountain climbing footpath and Jingting viewing pavilion, etc. I recommend entering from the south gate and following the route of the tea garden, Guangjiao Temple, mountain climbing road to the viewing pavilion, which is more time-saving, labor-saving and interesting. There are many ancient temples in the Tang and Song styles on the way from the south gate to the top of the mountain. It is the most famous Guangjiao Temple in Jingtingshan. The Guangjiao Temple Twin Towers at the door are products of the same era. Although they are all imitated on the original basis, their scale and momentum are very high-end, and they have a realistic appearance. Next, I will share the relevant strategies for visiting Jingtingshan with you, hoping to help you. 1. Best travel season: Normally, all four seasons are available. Early summer and winter are the best seasons. I came to Jingtingshan in summer and snowy winter. Jingtingshan in summer is very refreshing and comfortable, suitable for walking and wandering. The snowy winter is even more beautiful, and you can see the poetic scenery of the snow-wrapped tea garden everywhere. 2. Scenic area ticket information: The ticket is temporarily set at 50 yuan per person, but tourists with household registration in Xuancheng area (including counties and cities) and those who enjoy national preferential treatment are exempt from tickets. However, there is no strict ticketing system now, and you can generally enter and exit freely. 3. Transportation: Jingtingshan is about 6 kilometers away from the city center of Xuancheng. Buses, taxis and online taxis can reach it. Take bus No. 1 from the west square of Xuancheng Railway Station to the east gate of Jingtingshan, or take bus No. 6 from the east gate of Xuanzhou Market to Jingting Lake Park. If you are in the center of Xuanzhou District, you can take bus No. 4 or No. 22 directly to the east gate of Jingtingshan. 4. Food and accommodation: Jingtingshan Scenic Area is 6 kilometers away from the city center of Xuancheng, and there are various restaurants and hotels nearby. There are many cost-effective hotels to choose from, such as Jingting Lake Hotel, Xuancheng Wenyuan Villa, etc. As for restaurants, there are Xuancheng Huijude high-end restaurant, Wankoufu fast food restaurant and Wenyuan Chinese restaurant, etc. 5. Suggested play time: The scale of Jingtingshan Scenic Area is moderate, and it is suggested to play for 1 day. If you are a photography enthusiast or a hiking enthusiast, you can play for 2 days as appropriate. 6. Language communication: Xuancheng is a Wu language area, so people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have no problem communicating with locals when they come to Jingtingshan in Xuancheng. However, foreigners don't have to worry. Xuancheng also has many immigrants from the Jianghuai region and Hubei, so their dialects are easier to understand. What's more, people in Xuancheng will use Mandarin to communicate with foreign tourists.

📍Jingting Mountain⛰️ Li Bai once wrote 'A sight to never tire of, is Jingting Mountain alone', and thus I came to 'Jingting Mountain' in Xuancheng, Anhui! 1⃣️Introduction Jingting Mountain is part of the Huangshan mountain range, with a southwest-northeast orientation. It consists of 60 peaks, among which the three main peaks are Yi Peak, Jing Peak, and Cuiyun Peak, with the highest Cuiyun Peak reaching an elevation of 324.1 meters! 2⃣️Story Li Bai was a great poet of the Tang dynasty, and his poem 'Sitting Alone on Jingting Mountain' contains his deep affection for Jingting Mountain. The line 'A sight to never tire of, is Jingting Mountain alone' from the poem symbolizes the resting place of his soul and reflects his search for spiritual solace and emotional sustenance in nature. Princess Yuzhen was an important figure in Li Bai's life. She had profound feelings for him and even chose to abandon everything to practice Taoism alone on Jingting Mountain, following Li Bai's fate, when he faced difficulties. After Li Bai was 'given gold and released' by Emperor Xuanzong, Princess Yuzhen gave up all worldly attachments for him, a sentiment that is deeply moving. In his later years, Li Bai chose to settle in Dangtu County at the foot of Jingting Mountain, and Princess Yuzhen also practiced there. Coincidentally, both ended their lives in the same year and place, as if by a twist of fate, allowing them to continue their bond in another world. 3⃣️Tickets🎫 💰50 (can be pre-ordered online) 4⃣️Main Attractions📷 There are four major scenic areas: the Twin Pagodas area, the Sitting Alone Pavilion area, the Yi Peak area, and the Wanling Lake area.

XuanchengJingtingMountain 1. Yancheng Binhai County, Picture 1 to Picture 4 There are not as many people here as in the urban area of Yancheng, and there are not many attractions, but it is super suitable for self-driving tours. You can see the sea. Although it is a muddy beach, not a sandy beach, there is a lighthouse and a place for BBQ, which is very suitable for self-driving tours. The sunset view is really amazing. Then there is a famous pig's trotter wonton shop on the old street of Binhai, which is very delicious. Huaiyang Tower is also pretty good. 2. Xuancheng, Anhui, Picture 5 to Picture 9 I went there during the National Day holiday, and there were not too many people. You can spend two days in Chaji Ancient Town.

There is a restaurant called Chaji Renjia which is quite delicious. The Shen Yin Coffee Shop is also a good place to sit. But Chaji Ancient Town is quite far from the station. I didn't plan my trip well, so I ended up taking a taxi for more than 100 kilometers. You can also go to Taohuatan, but I didn't go, so I won't comment. Jingting Mountain is quite low, you can climb up to see the sunrise. It takes half an hour to an hour to climb up, but you need to make a reservation in advance. There will be many elderly people climbing the mountain to exercise, and it's quite interesting to climb with them. The scenery is also quite beautiful.

Xuancheng·Anhui Tingxi Scenic Area The unpredictable storm, thunder and lightning warning still couldn't stop the footsteps of the long-distance car breaking through the foothills of southern Anhui. When we set off, the sky was gloomy, and there was a sporadic light rain near Xuancheng, followed by sudden changes in weather. We passed by Jingting Mountain, and the water color of the mountain area was green and the rice fields were tender green like a blanket. Ting San She is a special place on the way. Mr. Xian Peng Zhang, who is over seventy years old, is elegant and indifferent. Ting San was originally the word of his father who was a private school teacher. He was happy to hear the sound of chickens pecking at rice, the sound of sweeping the courtyard, and the sound of reading aloud in the morning. The roof of the house can overlook several lotus ponds, the stream behind the house is rapid, and there is a bamboo raft tied to the maple tree, and there are ducks swimming under the bridge. Jing County Qinxima Ancient Town has shown its decline, and there are few residents in the town. Although the tailor shop and the bamboo craftsman stick to the old business, they are powerless to continue. The Qingyi River silently flows past the deserted stone reef. Apart from the racing car rolling over the rushing stream and exploring the pebbles on the bank in the Moon Bay Scenic Area, the rest of the bamboo raft drifting is unbearable to witness. The car watched the bamboo and hurried past, and then the passionate rafting and high-altitude wings of the Ink Tingxi were completely devoid of wild interest. Turning and driving on the narrow mountain road, the clouds and mist cover the peaks, and an old dog stands in the middle of the road among the lush green bamboo forests, in order to watch the spectacular view of Taoling winding mountain and stay overnight in the mountain ridge sea of clouds. 🏞The South Anhui Sichuan-Tibet line is also known as South Anhui 318, a route that appreciates the Tibetan scenery in the soft feelings of Jiangnan, with a total length of about 120 kilometers, which can be walked in both directions, and the main line can be extended to the surrounding villages, and there will be different wonderful discoveries. 🚙Itinerary: On the first day, drive from Xuancheng direction through the Moon Bay Scenic Area to the Ink Tingxi Scenic Area in Suhong Township, and park the car in Taoling, just for the most exciting section of Taoling Seventy-two Bends the next day. 🥳Highlights: Moon Bay Scenic Area, natural scenery + artificial control, steep mountains, flying streams. Ink Tingxi Scenic Area, primitive ecology, landscape aesthetics, has been surrounded by scenic spots. You can go to the ancient town of Matou on a branch line. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and water. In the past, Huizhou goods were all transported by water, so merchants gathered here and shipping was developed, creating a glorious time. 🍵There are homestays along the way, and accommodation and dining are convenient.
