琳毛毛虫:“When I was in Nanjing, I always heard that Fengyang was fun, Fengyang was fun, and Fengyang had a direct connection with Nanjing. This time I went to Lao Zhu's hometown to take a look. I felt that Fengyang had changed a lot and was not as poor as people outside said. It felt good. I will go there to eat the clay pot chicken again in the future.”
Anonymous user:“This place can definitely become a popular online attraction. It is so beautiful, colorful, dark and mysterious, as if you are in a fantasy palace. It is a good dream, I hope I will sleep forever and never wake up. Some roads are slippery and steep, so you need to be careful when walking.”
Priya:“Located in an old street in Dingyuan City, although it is an ancient city, it is more of a renovated commercial area. You can walk around the lake, and the archway at the entrance looks particularly imposing. The tower in the lake is also the most central scenic location, with a beach and a water boardwalk, suitable for a leisure walk. The hotels and restaurants in the scenic area are still under renovation, I hope it will get better and better in the future!”
M30***26:“The scenic spot is full of the style of the Ming Dynasty. It is straighter than the sacred road of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, more spacious and majestic, and it is a must for a full five-point praise! It is recommended to go and see, but the surrounding transportation is not convenient and the bus is not very conspicuous”

M49***49:“The scenic area boasts a beautiful setting, convenient transportation, and excellent elevator access. The Niu Shou Mountain Scenic Area is like a meticulously crafted work of art, showcasing ingenious design throughout. The most breathtaking attraction is the five-story underground palace beneath the Buddha's Head Palace! The magnificent Thousand Buddha Hall and the exquisite stupa—every detail is breathtakingly beautiful! This is a truly unique visual spectacle you won't find anywhere else!”
M30***90:“Didn't go before 8 o'clock, arrived at 9 o'clock. I had to wait 90 minutes to take the sightseeing bus into the park, so I gave up and walked on my own. It turned out that I had overestimated my physical fitness. At this time, I saw an electric car rented by others and wanted to rent it. However, I missed the car rental point. I finally got on the sightseeing bus at the transfer point, but I was sent back to the starting point in one car.”
Sarah Kwok:“🐬 (Tunchang Resignation Version)
Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum - Wutong Avenue - Meiling Palace - Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum - Music Platform - Linggu Pagoda
The entire hike took about 30,000 steps, 20 kilometers, and 8.5 hours.
After the hike, I had no interest in humanities and history anymore. I just wanted to go home, shower, and lie down in bed.”
ccm***ao:“The park before Shixiang Road is quite empty, making it a relaxing stroll. Once you enter the section between Shixiang Road and Minglou, the experience drops significantly as tourists gather. It's recommended to arrive early, as the scorching sun and crowds of August will make the experience quite ordinary. However, the road passes Xiamafang Ruins Park, which is less crowded and quiet.”
文武图腾:“A place of learning for thousands of years, a place of sages and sages in the imperial examinations; a place where names are awarded on the imperial examination list, Qinhuai River reflects the past and present! It is worth learning and watching with children, but the banks of Qinhuai River are too popular during holidays, and it is really crowded.”
天冷穿短袖:“The Qinhuai River scenery belt of Confucius Temple is really worth visiting! This is the historical and cultural treasure of Nanjing, with a deep cultural heritage. Confucius Temple and Jiangnan Gongyuan are all witnessing the glory of the past. Walking along the Qinhuai River, the Ming and Qing styles of architecture are simple and charming, which can make you feel the unique style of old Nanjing. It is even more beautiful at night. The lights are on at the beginning, the river is sparkling, and the paintings are shuttled in the river. The atmosphere of "Nightbo Qinhuai Near Restaurant" is directly full. Tired of shopping, there are various Nanjing specialty snacks on the street, such as duck blood vermicelli soup, plum cake, the taste is authentic, the price is OK. Whether it is to feel the history and culture, or to relax and taste food, this place will not disappoint you. It can be said to be a must-visit place for Nanjing tourism!”

享受生活2013:“The mutton in northern Anhui is quite famous, and the mutton in Dingyuan and Xiaoxian are both delicious. Lao Feiquan Mutton Restaurant is quite famous in Dingyuan County. It uses the whole body of the sheep to make many kinds of food, and the mutton soup is very delicious. It is cheap and good quality.”
神农架蒙武:“I didn't know Dingyuan had a buffet until today when I entered this restaurant. I realized that this place is a different world. The decoration here is just like a five-star hotel. It is where white-collar nobles live, where businessmen talk business, and where cultural people live. We dare not make loud noises when we enter, and we have to behave elegantly. We can do all these. The food here is very clean, the service attitude of the staff is also very good, and the food is super delicious. It has received good reviews. It is simply the pride of Dingyuan's catering department.”
