No.1 of Best Things to Do in Shitai
Verified User Reviews
The overall scenery of Guniujiang is really good. It takes more than two hours from Hefei to enjoy an aerobic trip to the mountains and rivers. When we arrived at the hotel, the front desk told us that people between 60 and 65 are half-price and those over 65 are free, but we didn't see such instructions when buying tickets. If I hadn't told you, I would have bought full tickets with my mother. Another thing I want to complain about is the food. The price of the farmhouse is really high. It's better to eat at the Julong Hotel where I live. Should Chizhou Cultural Tourism intervene, unify management, and strengthen publicity to avoid wasting this good place?
Personally think it is one of the most beautiful water attractions in East China! Although the scenic spot is under construction, it does not affect the tour experience. May 1st is still a relatively dry period. The water flow of the waterfall is still a little smaller. Fortunately, it is not very dry all the way, and it is not too steep. The mountain road, slowly taking pictures and playing will take four or five hours without tiredness. Those who like to see the water can come.

Xianyu Mountain Scenic Area is located in Xianyu Town, Shitai County, Chizhou, Anhui. As the name suggests, it is the immortal residence mountain, and the main peak is 1,376 meters above sea level. It is an ecological and cultural tourism area that integrates beautiful natural ecology and ancient site culture. Main attractions: Jugenguan Ancient Huidao (built in the Tang Dynasty) Dashan Rich Selenium Village. Colorful Jade Valley. Shenlong Valley. Tianfang Rich Selenium Sightseeing Tea Garden. Colorful natural scenery, primitive natural ecological environment, ancient and rich cultural heritage, is exactly where the immortals live. Xianyu Ancient Huidao also witnessed several revolutionary histories. In 1934, Fang Zhimin led the Anti-Japanese Advance Team to the north to fight against Japan. Passing through this ancient Huidao, he fought a bloody battle with the Kuomintang. There are still trenches left here. In 1949, after crossing the Yangtze River, the People's Liberation Army passed through the ancient Huidao Road when advancing to the southwest, and fought against the enemy bandits and achieved brilliant results.

Zuishanye Scenic Area is a bit of a rip-off. First of all, there is almost a 1-kilometer walk between the ticket office and the entrance to the scenic area, and you need to walk in. After entering, the stream is too small and has no special features, especially the big waterfall has stopped flowing, and there is only a stone wall. The worst thing is the scenic shuttle bus. You have to wait for the bus for half an hour at the tea house, and it is not expensive at five yuan per person. The problem is that there are only four or five cars, and they drive very fast to save time, making people experience a real version of drifting on curves and roller coasters. The final parking place is not near the entrance. It is halfway up the mountain, which is estimated to be a little higher than the altitude of the tea house, because you need to go down a steep slope of 400 meters to get to the bottom. If you don't take the scenic shuttle bus, the exit from the tea house is about 900 meters away, and it is just a flat downhill road. The cave is okay, and it is best to go there in the afternoon.
Ciyun Ancient Cave has a better trail than Chaohu Ziwei Cave, but Ziwei Cave has boat rides, and Ciyun Ancient Cave with stalactites is more spectacular. I personally feel that the management of Zuishanye is a bit confusing. The magic carpet and glass plank road can actually be included in the ticket. Otherwise, if you just want to play in the water, Guniujiang is more attractive.
