Compared to Wuzhen, I have a deeper affection for this small town in Southern Anhui that still uses copper coins

The spring breeze is trustworthy, and the flowers bloom on schedule. At this time, the fragrance of April in the human world has faded, and the flower viewing has come to an end everywhere. But the azaleas in Yongquan Town are just beginning to bloom, looking very beautiful amidst the lush green mountains and waters. Casually picking two branches to hold in hand, upon close inspection, they seem unlike anything of this world. Even Bai Juyi, a master of flower appreciation, highly praised this flower as resembling Xi Shi. ✅ Must-visit in Yongquan ◾️ The Twelve Scenic Spots of Reminiscing about the South 🌿 A real-life version of the Emerald City, the green is translucent and vibrant, refreshing to the soul, adorned by the azaleas all over the mountains, tinged with red clouds. A gentle breeze blows, making the mountains and fields romantically tender. 🍃 Walking in a picturesque setting, it's more than just twenty minutes in a park, it's a complete relaxation of body and mind. Coming down from the glass slide, walking along the lake, watching swans play, and koi fish leisurely swim, carefree and unafraid of people. 🌿 If you don't want to hike up the mountain, you can also take the cloud ladder, which is very friendly for the lazy. ◾️ Jiubao Hot Spring It has won my heart, providing comfort and stress relief. After soaking, I feel like I could climb the mountain again. There is a very lush and bright azalea outside, just leaning against it is like being surrounded by flowers. ◾️ The Taste of Jiangnan I go to the money exchange with ease, walking and stopping, watching the aunties make snacks on the spot, eating and drinking to my heart's content. As night falls, during the blue hour, the evening breeze gently sways the lanterns hanging on the trees. Perhaps it's because of the mountain's influence, the bustling street doesn't feel noisy. 📍: Yongquan Town, Tongling, Anhui 🚘: Take the high-speed train to Tongling North Station or Tongling Station, then a taxi for 15～25min ✅Tips： 1️⃣ The homestays have wood-burning stoves, and the flavors of Jiangnan are all from Yongquan's own farm, with an original ecological countryside taste. The farmer who spent 20 years building this place is quite impressive. 2️⃣ The azalea blooming period of about two weeks is right now, the perfect time for flower viewing, don't wait until there are no flowers left to pick branches. 3️⃣ In spring and summer, also pay attention to sun protection, and a straw hat can make for good photos.
