| A Heartwarming Spring Trip with Parents. 🌱Spring is here, and it's the perfect time to take your parents out for a spring outing! I recently took my parents to Yongquan Town in Tongling, Anhui Province, and it was an amazing experience that I'd like to share with everyone! Preparation 1. Transportation: We chose to travel by high-speed rail directly to Tongling Station. From there, it's about a 25-minute taxi ride to the town, which is very convenient. If you're driving, simply navigate to "Yongquan Town Northwest Gate" - the town offers free parking 🚗 2. Accommodation: There are plenty of lodging options in the scenic area. We booked a guesthouse with traditional decor that my parents absolutely loved. You can hear birds singing in the morning, which is incredibly relaxing. If your parents prefer more comfortable surroundings, the hot spring hotel and the main hotel are also excellent choices 🛏️ 3. Equipment: Comfortable sneakers (essential for climbing the 12 Scenes of Jiangnan), a light backpack, a thermos (for hot water anytime), sunscreen (spring sun can be strong too), and mosquito repellent (there are quite a few insects in the mountains) Itinerary 1. Day One Morning: Check in, drop off luggage, then visit the money exchange to trade for copper coins - a fascinating experience that instantly transports you back to ancient times. Noon: Use copper coins to buy food at Jiangnan Flavor Snack Street and try local specialties. My parents particularly enjoyed the tofu pudding from the tofu shop and the wonton from the wonton stall. Afternoon: Stroll around the town, admire the traditional architecture, visit Mandarin Duck Lake to see swans and koi fish. The scenery is beautiful, and my parents couldn't stop taking photos 📷 Evening: The bonfire party was lively! Dancing around the fire with my parents and enjoying the festive atmosphere. Afterward, we returned to our guesthouse to rest. 2. Day Two Morning: Got up early to climb the 12 Scenes of Jiangnan. The morning air was fresh and the scenery beautiful. Since my parents aren't very athletic, we took the cable car for part of the journey, which made it much easier. Along the way, we saw attractions like Tan'ai Boulders and Naihe Watchtower, and my parents were fascinated by the stories behind these scenic spots. Noon: Had lunch at the Health Hall buffet restaurant, which offers a variety of dishes to satisfy my parents' tastes. Afternoon: Visited the Jiubao Hot Springs. Soaking in the hot springs after hiking was incredibly relaxing. My parents didn't want to leave and said it really helped with their fatigue. After the hot springs, we prepared to head home. Experience My parents were happy throughout the entire trip. The slow pace of life in the town suited them perfectly. Although climbing the 12 Scenes of Jiangnan was a bit tiring, the beautiful scenery along the way made it worthwhile for them, and they couldn't stop praising the view from the mountaintop. Eating snacks at Jiangnan Flavor Street and using copper coins for transactions gave them a novel experience that felt like stepping back in time. At the bonfire party, everyone sang and danced together, and my parents joined in, their faces beaming with happiness. The natural hot springs at Jiubao were incredibly comfortable, and my parents said they felt much more relaxed afterward. Tips 1. Copper coins: Remember to exchange for copper coins at the money exchange in advance. 1 copper coin = 3 yuan, and unused coins can be refunded. It's best to calculate your approximate expenses beforehand to avoid waste. 2. Hiking: The 12 Scenes of Jiangnan hike is quite long, and some sections have steep steps. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. If your parents have limited stamina, consider taking the cable car, which costs extra. 3. Hot springs: Bring swimwear for the hot springs, as Jiubao Hot Springs are public outdoor pools. Also, don't soak for too long to avoid feeling unwell. 4. Bonfire party: The bonfire party usually starts at 7:30 PM and will be canceled in case of rain. Remember to check the weather and schedule in advance. 5. Food: While the town's food is delicious, some snacks can be spicy. Confirm preferences with your parents beforehand, and consider bringing some snacks in case they get hungry. This trip to Yongquan Town with my parents was truly wonderful. Seeing them happy made everything worthwhile. I encourage everyone to bring their parents here for a similar experience!

We visited this town famous for its copper coin currency, spending two days and one night enjoying food and entertainment there. It's perfect for a leisure vacation. I've prepared this comprehensive travel guide with tips to avoid pitfalls! 🅿️Transportation: 🚘Driving from Hangzhou takes about 3 hours 🚄Take high-speed rail to Tongling North Station, then it's a 25-minute drive to the town. If you've booked a hotel, contact the butler in advance for pick-up service 🏠Accommodation: You can stay inside the resort area, which offers hot spring hotels and Jiangnan-style homestays, or outside the resort. However, most attractions are inside the resort area, and you'll need to purchase a town resort 🎫ticket for entry and exit. 🍚What to eat ①Jiangnan Flavor Snack Street: A food street where you pay with copper coins💰, which you can exchange at Yongquan Money House. Exchange rate is 3 yuan for 1 copper coin, 30 yuan for a small bag (10 coins), 60 yuan for a large bag (20 coins) ②Grandma's Firewood Pot Rice: Recreates childhood memories of eating crispy rice around the stove. Available at both Jiangnan Flavor Snack Street and Jiangnan Courtyard No.1, 36 yuan per serving. ③Health Hall Buffet: Features hundreds of small bowls of food, which is quite unique. Worth trying if interested, 65 yuan/person, though I found the taste average. 🎈What to do ①Memories of Jiangnan Twelve Scenes Must-visit highlight of the town, with distinct daytime and nighttime views. Involves climbing, so wear comfortable shoes. Transportation options include cloud elevator and slides (require separate tickets). Note that slides only operate until 16:50. You can visit during the day and return at night, or follow my suggestion: take the cloud elevator in the evening, watch the sunset from the watchtower on the mountain top, then walk down. This way you'll see both day and night scenery without getting tired. The complete tour takes about 2-3 hours. ②Jiubao Hot Springs Authentic hot springs where you can see the water source. Nice environment with children's water play area, sauna, and stone bed bath. Bring your swimsuit; towels and slippers🩴are provided. Hot springs are open until 10 PM. ③Jiangnan Fairy Tale Park Located outside the scenic area, featuring water facilities, castles🏝️, sand, slides - children love it here. ❤️Two-day, one-night itinerary: Day 1: Check in→Exchange copper coins→Memories of Jiangnan Twelve Scenes→Jiangnan Flavor Snack Street→Bonfire party Day 2: Jiubao Hot Springs→Grandma's Firewood Pot Rice→Jiangnan Fairy Tale Park 💢Travel tips: ✅The entire Jiangnan Flavor Snack Street accepts copper coins or mobile payments.

At Jiangnan Courtyard No.1, "Grandma" will stand at the entrance calling you to come eat. ✅Memories of Jiangnan lights up at 17:20. In my opinion, 6:30 PM when it's getting dark but not completely black is the best time for photos. ✅The bonfire party is held at Jiangnan Flavor Snack Street every day (weather permitting) at 7:30 PM. ✅Jiubao Hot Springs costs 80 yuan per person for hotel guests with room key cards

Just escaped from Yongquan Town in Tongling with my kid! Let me share some hard truths while clutching my bag full of copper coins— 1️⃣ Major trap! You need copper coins for purchases I was stunned when we rushed into the Jiangnan Flavor Food Street—you have to exchange for copper coins at the money house first! My five-year-old hugged the heavy copper coins, laughing wildly: "Mom, we've time-traveled!" Then while buying rice noodle cakes, his hands trembled, and coins scattered everywhere. Five ladies in Hanfu instantly transformed into human sweepers while my kid picked them up shouting: "This is my treasure!" (Even period dramas wouldn't dare film this scene😭) 2️⃣ Major trap! Mountain climbing is a vertical pitfall I thought casually strolling through the 12 Scenic Spots of Yi Jiangnan would be easy, but the azaleas were blooming more fiercely than fire! My kid turned into a little human motor, racing up the cloud ladder: "I'm going to Seven Star Village to be the mountain king!" This exhausted mother panted all the way to the glacier relic, only to have my kid hand me a wildflower: "This is the kingdom I've conquered!" (The glass slide down was even more extreme—screaming through three kilometers, more thrilling than a roller coaster🎢) 3️⃣ Major trap! Hot springs that make you shed skin The Jiubao Hot Springs with 25 minerals sounds impressive, but my kid turned into a pink shrimp ball and refused to leave! Pointing at the strontium-selenium-fluoride ingredient list, he made up stories: "This is mermaid magic potion!" Only when he spotted the water castle in the family fun park did he finally dash off wrapped in a towel, barefoot, splashing water that startled three wild ducks🦆 💥The most frustrating time-travel side effect Back home, my kid smashed his piggy bank, insisting on "melting coins to cast copper money." Now during naptime at kindergarten, he shouts: "Waiter, bring me a bowl of pork soup!" ⚠️Tearful advice ▪️Be extravagant when exchanging copper coins! Watching your kid pay for liangpi with copper coins makes them look like a domineering CEO ▪️Secretly pack quick-dry clothes! Running through the azalea forest for three hours produces more sweat than hot spring water ▪️Dress your kid in Hanfu! When the lanterns light up, the whole street will think they're a little master who's traveled through time 💡Secret play strategies revealed ✔️Explore the fortress at night with flashlights! You can see starlight through century-old bullet holes in the walls ✔️Teach your kid to string wildflowers with copper coins! Everyone at school will ask about it when they hang it on their backpack ✔️Learn bamboo pole dancing at the bonfire party! Now our whole family practices "prop-free performance" with brooms Touching my kid's wrinkled little feet from the hot springs, I suddenly realized—the best history lesson is letting copper coins teach them about heritage, and letting mountainside wildflowers show them the power of growing freely. (Now my kid dreams of becoming a money house manager, so I guess those math classes were wasted😭) 💥Knockout Tips: 🔸Rush to see the azalea sea in April! Wearing a white dress for photos makes you look like you've fallen into a cloud of rouge 🔸Secretly bring eggs to the hot spring pools! The mineral water-boiled eggs will make neighboring kids cry with envy 🔸Capture facial expressions on the glass slide! Your kid's grimacing face will dominate the parents' group chat for three years

Who can relate?! Took my kid to this mystical town in Anhui where they use copper coins, and my 5-year-old instantly transformed into a little shopkeeper from a period drama💰 Mountain slopes ablaze with azaleas, hot spring slides to zoom down the mountain, night markets where you use REAL copper coins to buy snacks... 3 days of time-travel fun for just 600+ yuan! Here's your exclusive southern Anhui travel guide! 🚄How to Get There Direct high-speed train to "Tongling North Station"! Just a 15-minute taxi ride to "Tongling Yongquan Town." Along the way, rapeseed flower fields so beautiful my kid pressed against the window asking, "Mom, are we driving into a paint box?"🎨 (Important tip: Look for the pink azalea road signs!) 🏡Stay Among the Flowers Highly recommend the "Yi Jiangnan Courtyard" family room! Open your window to a waterfall of azaleas🌸 Soak in your private hot spring at night while listening to frogs. My kid said it was like sleeping in a flower fairy's bed~ Special mention for the floor heating! Even during late spring cold snaps, kids can run around barefoot. 💥Complete Fun Guide 1️⃣Azalea Valley Adventure I was stunned by the "12 Scenic Spots of Yi Jiangnan"! The entire mountain blazing with wild azaleas like a sea of fire🔥 Collect flower petals with your kids along the creek boardwalk to make beautiful bookmarks (Go before the end of April! Miss it and wait another year) 2️⃣Hot Springs Slide Thrill After hiking, head straight to "Jiubao Hot Springs"! Mineral baths that open your pores♨️ Don't miss the 600-meter glass slide!

In Tongling, I unexpectedly discovered a mysterious ancient town hidden among mountains and waters, as if stepping into a Jiangnan dream. This ancient town is Yongquan Town in Tongling, Anhui. The scenery here combines the gentle beauty of Jiangnan watertown with the backdrop of spectacular and unique karst landforms. Under ancient trees lies a breathtakingly beautiful sea of red spider lilies. Legend has it that these flowers bloom for a thousand years and shed leaves for a thousand years, symbolizing the boundary between separation and reunion. To relax body and mind, consider visiting the Jiubao Hot Springs in the mountains. After hiking, there's nothing better than soaking in these hot springs. The spring water contains over 20 minerals including silver, selenium, fluorine, and sulfur oxide, with refreshingly pleasant air. If you're traveling with children, the children's play area in the ancient town is definitely a great place to visit. It features more than 20 attractions including rainbow tunnels, water plazas, trampolines, rock climbing, paddle boats, bumper boats, craft workshops, and mini-worlds - entertainment options suitable for both children and adults. For dining in the ancient town, consider exchanging some copper coins at the money house to experience the consumption style of ancient times. A pack of copper coins costs $58 and includes large, medium, and small copper plates. The snack street offers many delicacies worth trying. The specific address of the ancient town is Yongquan Town, Tongling, Anhui. For transportation, it's just 1 km after exiting the Tongling East highway. If taking high-speed rail, choose Tongling North Station, which is closer to Yongquan Town. Overnight guests can enjoy free pickup service from the high-speed rail station (reservation required one day in advance). This ancient town is truly a great place for weekend family outings and relaxation.

I always thought Hongcun was the epitome of beauty, but after visiting Yongquan Town in Tongling last week, I realized how little I'd seen! Who says springtime in Jiangnan is only about small bridges and flowing water? The azaleas blooming all over the mountains in Yongquan Town moved me to tears. Here's a fantastic two-day, one-night itinerary for you – save it now! Attraction Introduction • Memory of Jiangnan Twelve Scenic Spots: This is a must-see! A full 10,000 azaleas are in full bloom from early to late April, covering the mountains and fields. Red and pink flowers bloom freely, dotted with gray ancient villages. Every photo is a masterpiece. In addition to azaleas, there is also the Qixing Village ancient residential complex. Moss climbs the stone walls, and wildflowers grow wildly in the cracks. It feels like "The Wizard of Oz," as if you've stepped into a fairy tale. • Jiubao Hot Springs: When you're tired, come here to relax in the hot springs. The hot spring well is 2,000 meters deep, with a daily output of 1,400 tons. The center temperature is 52°C, and it contains more than 20 minerals, such as sulfur oxide, metasilicic acid, strontium, and fluorine, which are very beneficial to the body. Don't miss the infinity pool on the mountaintop. Soak in it an hour before sunset, enjoying the sunset while you bathe. It's incredibly relaxing. • Grandma's Clay Pot Rice: Super down-to-earth cuisine! The rice is cooked in a large clay pot, and the crust is fragrant and crispy. It crackles when you chew it, full of childhood memories. I order it every time I come, along with a few plates of home-style dishes. It's a very satisfying meal. • Nostalgia Parade: Starts promptly at 1:30 pm. The actors wear nostalgic costumes and lead everyone in activities like grabbing popcorn, receiving wedding candies, and learning the Yangge dance. The atmosphere is fantastic. The NPCs will also give you "food stamps." Don't throw them away! Collect three, and you can exchange them for old-fashioned malt sugar. It's sweet and instantly transports you back to the 1980s. Ticket Information • Yongquan Town Park Ticket + Yongquan Memory of Jiangnan Twelve Scenic Spots Ticket: Adult tickets are generally around 70 yuan. Discounts are available for children, seniors, and students. See the scenic spot policy for details. • Jiubao Hot Springs Ticket + Yongquan Town Park Ticket: Adult tickets are about 108 yuan, child tickets are around 58 yuan, and family tickets (2 adults + 1 child) are about 258 yuan. • Jiangnan Fairytale Children's Play Area Parent-child Ticket (1 adult + 1 child): Around 58 yuan, package ticket around 128 yuan. • There are also various package tickets that include tickets, meals, and activities, such as Yongquan Town Park Ticket + Yongquan Memory of Jiangnan Twelve Scenic Spots Ticket + Clay Pot Rice for around 99 yuan. You can choose according to your needs. Recommended Itinerary • Day 1: After arriving in Tongling, check in to your reserved hot spring hotel, drop off your luggage, and take a good rest. Then, embark on the Nostalgia Parade, immerse yourself in the nostalgic atmosphere, interact with NPCs to get "food stamps," and stroll leisurely through the town, admiring the ancient buildings. When it's time to eat, go to Grandma's Clay Pot Rice for authentic farmhouse flavors. After dinner, relax in the Jiubao Hot Springs. In the evening, participate in the bonfire party, dance to the music, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. • Day 2: Get up early and go to Memory of Jiangnan Twelve Scenic Spots. There are fewer people at this time, and the light is soft, making it perfect for taking pictures. Admire the azaleas all over the mountains and explore the Oz-like Qixing Village. After that, go to Jiangnan Flavor Snack Street, exchange for copper coins, and enjoy various local snacks, such as rolled noodles and bean curd sheets, which are local specialties. Best Photo Spots • Memory of Jiangnan Twelve Scenic Spots: In the azalea sea, with the large expanse of flowers as the background, standing or sitting poses are great for photos. By the stone walls of the Qixing Village ancient residential complex, use the moss and wildflowers as the foreground for retro-style photos. • Jiubao Hot Springs Mountaintop Infinity Pool: At sunset, with the setting sun and distant mountains as the background, take silhouette photos for a super artistic feel. • Nostalgia Parade Scene: Capture candid shots while interacting with NPCs, recording joyful moments full of nostalgia. Things to Note • April is the azalea blooming season, and there are many tourists. Book hotels and tickets in advance to avoid delays. • Memory of Jiangnan Twelve Scenic Spots requires mountain climbing. Remember to wear comfortable athletic shoes, not high heels, or walking will be very painful. • Bring your own swimsuit to Jiubao Hot Springs. Although the scenic spot may sell them, they are expensive, and the styles may not be to your liking. • Keep the "food stamps" and copper coins from the Nostalgia Parade safe. If you lose them, you won't be able to exchange them for malt sugar and snacks. • The signal is not very good in some areas of the scenic spot. Download a map in advance or get a paper map at the visitor center. Local Specialties • Zhongming Slaughtered Pig Soup: Yongquan Town's signature dish. Made with fresh pork and pork bones simmered for a long time, the soup is thick, white, fragrant, and delicious. A bowl will warm you up. Pair it with local rice crusts soaked in the soup for an exceptional treat. • Handmade Dried Tofu: Rich in bean aroma, firm and chewy. It can be eaten directly or mixed with chili and other seasonings for a refreshing and delicious snack commonly found on snack streets. • Tongling Large Intestine Noodles: The large intestine is cleaned thoroughly, fatty but not greasy. The noodles are firm, and the soup is rich. Those who love offal must try it.
