The Most Beautiful Ningguo Section of the Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Route

4.5/5
15 reviews
The Most Beautiful Ningguo Section of the Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Route is a self-drive scenic route that traverses the mountainous areas of Ningguo, Anhui, and is also the eastern section of the entire Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Route. The S345 Beautiful Highway project is approx. 67 km long. The road enters the mountains from Qinglong Township, winding westward along valleys and ridges, connecting Chujiatan Beach, Dragon Beach, the Fangtang Redwood Forest, and the Banqiao Primitive Forest. The scenery along the route has its own unique features. Chujiatan Beach is a clear water bay in Qinglong Township, where lush forests and bamboo are reflected in the water, earning it the nickname Little Guilin of Southern Anhui. Dragon Beach is a reservoir lake surrounded by mountains, with a water area of 32.8 square kilometers and islands of various sizes scattered throughout. Traveling to Fangtang Township, over 2,000 mu of bald cypress trees are rooted in the water, growing into a water forest, which is what tourists often call the redwood forest. It is lush green in summer and turns red in late fall, with the viewing period from mid-November to early December. Further west, the Banqiao area is a primitive forest reserve covering 63 square kilometers, dense with bamboo forests and ancient trees, with a winding and undulating road surface. Tourists can take a self-drive tour through the mountainous scenic road, view the Fangtang Redwood Forest water forest, and visit Chujiatan Beach and Dragon Beach along the way. Farmhouses and homestays are distributed in the villages and towns along the route, providing places to rest and resupply.Xuancheng · 25.1km from Ningguo

West Lake

West Lake is undoubtedly the epitome of Hangzhou's beauty. The famous "Ten scenes of West Lake" surround its shores, where nature and culture complement each other, forming the core area of Hangzhou tourism. You don't need to visit every attraction - instead, spend half a day or a full day strolling along the lake. However you choose to enjoy it, the experience will surely lift your spirits. West Lake is the core attraction of Hangzhou, surrounded by clouds and mountains on three sides and the city on one side. The Su Causeway and Bai Causeway stretch across the lake, dividing it into several water areas. The lakeside scenery is highlighted by the "Ten Scenes of West Lake" from the Southern Song Dynasty, along with the later "New Ten Scenes" and "Three Additional Scenes," featuring over a hundred attractions along the shore and mountains. Pavilions, temples, pagodas, gardens, causeways, and islands complement the distant mountains and nearby waters, while legends like the Broken Bridge where Lady White Snake met Xu Xian add a layer of storytelling to the landscape. West Lake extends east from Songmuchang in Hangzhou and the north of Baolu Road turning to Shaoniangong Square, passing Baisha Road, Huancheng West Road, Hubin Road, and Nanshan Road to the south of Wansong Ridge, covering all attractions including Wu Mountain, Ziyang Mountain, and Yunju Mountain. To the south, it stretches from Gulou along the eastern foothills of Wu Mountain, Ziyang Mountain, and Yunju Mountain, passing Fengshanmen and Fenghuangshan Road, then following the West Lake water diversion channel to the north bank of the Qiantang River, turning to the Coral Sand Reservoir and ending north of Liufangling. To the west, it runs from Liufangling, Zhugan Mountain, Jiuqu Ridge, and Mingren Ridge to Meiren Peak, Beigaofeng, Lingfeng Mountain, and east of the ridge line of Laohe Mountain. To the north, it follows the foothills of Laohe Mountain (west wall of Zhejiang University), turns 30 m north of Qingzhiwu Road, connects to Yugu Road, Zhejiang University Road, and Shuguang Road, ending south of Songmuchang. West Lake has over 100 attractions, renowned for its "Ten scenes of West Lake", "New ten scenes of West Lake" and "Three reviews · Ten scenes of West Lake". West Lake overview You can explore West Lake on foot, by cruise, on electric bikes, via self-drive, or by riding. Among these, electric bikes are the most convenient and effortless option, with hop-on-hop-off sightseeing vehicles circling the entire lake. Riding along the lakeshore is romantic and leisurely, with many public bike rental spots available. For a boat tour, there are nearly 10 docks around the lake offering various vessels and routes. We highly recommend taking a cruise to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon at the lake center while enjoying the scenic views. Alternatively, you can hail a hand-rowed boat for a more flexible experience with a boatman guiding your tour. North line scenery The north shore of West Lake gathers quite a few attractions, usually starting from the remnant snow on broken bridge at the northeast corner and heading west all the way to Yuewang Temple. You can walk along Bai Causeway to Solitary Hill, visiting cultural attractions like Xiling Seal Engravers' Society, Zhejiang Provincial Museum, Chinese Seal Art Museum, and Zhongshan Park's Crane Pavilion. Enjoy authentic West Lake vinegar fish at Louwailou Restaurant, then cross Xiling Bridge to leave the island - Yuewang Temple and Breeze-ruffled lotus at Quyuan Garden are just a short distance away. If it's a summer day with strong sunlight, it is recommended to stroll along Beishan road, hiding under the dense shade of trees to admire the curve of Broken bridge and the swaying weeping willows on Bai causeway opposite. There are many entrances along the way leading to Precious stone hill, where you can hike for views, and descend to reach Yuewang temple. Yuewang square has many small shops for snacks, and the Impression West Lake show here in the evening is also worth watching. If you have ample time and energy, you can also head to Su causeway from here for a walk to enjoy the panoramic view of West Lake. Southeast coast (Lakeside-Nanshan Road) Another area with a concentration of attractions is the Hubin Road-Nanshan Road along the southeastern coast. Hubin Road is located at the junction between Hangzhou's urban area and the attraction, offering views of West Lake, a dock for West Lake cruises, and the iconic music fountain. The advantage of Hubin Road is its quick access from the attraction to the downtown business district, making it suitable for travelers with a tight itinerary to make a short stop. Head south from Hubin road and walk along Nanshan road, where you can visit attractions like Orioles singing in the willows, Long bridge, Leifeng pagoda, Evening bell at Nanping hill, and Viewing fish at flower harbor. The distance between adjacent attractions is not far, so you can walk or take a sightseeing bus or public transport, which are also convenient. You can arrange a day to visit a few of them according to your preference. Among them, Leifeng pagoda and Evening bell at Nanping hill can be visited in the evening. Listening to the bell at Jingci temple and overlooking the night view of West lake from Leifeng pagoda are both great experiences.China · Hangzhou

The Ningguo section of the "Sichuan-Tibet Highway" in southern Anhui combines the scenic beauty of Guilin in Guangxi, the wonder of the Stone Forest in Yunnan, and the ruggedness of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway (National Highway 318), making it a highly recommended self-driving route in East China. Winding through verdant mountains and clear waters, it connects numerous scenic spots, creating an immersive experience where "the car travels on the road, and the driver is immersed in a painting." In autumn and winter, the fir forests turn red, creating a stunning spectacle that complements the water features, and boat tours are available.

Five stars! The scenery is stunning. Although it's a bit monotonous and boring, there are few people, so you can enjoy the view all to yourself. The straw-cooked rice at the pier is also delicious. It's a great place to visit quietly without kids.

It's best to arrive early, before 8:00 or 8:30 am. After rain, there's mist on the mountaintops and water features. Arriving earlier will also create a beautiful misty effect on the water. The price isn't very reasonable; an electric boat ride costs 128 yuan per person.

Self-driving tour, as the most beautiful scenery on the Sichuan-Tibet line in southern Anhui, is worth a visit! The Fallen Feather Wetland Park in late autumn will brighten your eyes, and every place is a popular check-in spot for taking photos! The vast redwood forest gives people endless reverie; the red redwood trees by the lake give people passion and unrestrainedness; the reflection of the Metasequoia in the depths of the lake makes people reluctant to leave and hope that time will stop; the tourists relaxing by the lake make you feel the real joy of traveling! The walkway in the lake can be said to be a view as soon as you turn around, but I only regret that the camera is not G enough! Haha, the scenery is dazzling under the sun, which makes people excited and beautiful! Come on! This is a happy trip without regrets!

Arrived at Chujiatan, the first stop of the Sichuan-Tibet Line in southern Anhui, in the evening of 2022/10/29. There were very few people, probably because of the epidemic control. The scenery was beautiful. We camped here for one night, and there were many ✨ at night, but unfortunately the mobile phone could not take good pictures.

The scenery is highly seasonal. It is best around November 20 this year, and the 5 days before and after are the best period. It is best to avoid weekends because of severe traffic jams. The highlight is the bald redwood forest, which is very beautiful, but there is no beautiful scenery after the season.

The environment here is relatively primitive, and the Sky Mirror is nice! You can bring the elderly and children here to play. If there is enough rain, the waterfall will be more beautiful! There are famous hotels around, the food is delicious and the price is affordable. Suitable for self-driving tours.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.
