With high forest coverage, fresh air, spring-like weather year-round, profound historical culture, and abundant tourism resources, it's a gem. 📜 Origin of the name: Anning derives from ancient texts describing it as "a golden land along the Tangchuan River, with clear skies free of fog, abundant harvests, and discovered by Lord Xianyu, hence named Anning." 🌞 Best time to visit: June in Anning offers comfortable temperatures and sunny weather, perfect for travel. The lush green mountains and forests are particularly enchanting during this time. 📅 3-day itinerary: - Day 1: Arrive in Anning in the morning and head to Golden Fountain Forest Hot Springs, where you can soak in over 70 unique pools (like rose and mint) surrounded by pristine forest.
