Xin'an River Landscape Gallery

#historicplaces Xin’an River Landscape Gallery is such a beautiful 🤩 place to visit. I was at Shexian and surprisingly, I didn’t know that taking a ferry ⛴ can take me to this wonderful place. It was such an interesting ferry ride with I think 3-4 different stops. With uniqueness of beauty in different stop, I truly enjoyed the ride. At one stop, you can watch a local performances of the locals featuring their traditional way of fishing etc. You will be amazed with amazing beautiful natural scenery. Locals are nice , you can buy local products and try some local food around too. I love the fact that there is an activity like this for tourist or anyone who would like to explore this county and learn it’s culture and customs #tripblazers #tripaway

Huangshan Surrounding Tours | Going to Xin'an River Landscape Gallery? This article is all you need|||✨Every time I go home, I pass by this place called Xin'an River Landscape Gallery, and this time for the May Day holiday, I decided to take two days to unlock🔓 this secret realm. 🌈The Xin'an River Landscape Gallery is located in Shendu Town, Shexian County, Huangshan City, originating from Xiuning County of Huangshan, flowing through Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang, and into the Qiantang River to the sea, known as the 'Eastern Danube'. The ancient Huizhou merchants used to travel down the Xin'an River to spread their business all over the world. 🚌How to get there? If you're driving, you can navigate directly to the Xin'an River Landscape Gallery🅿️ parking lot (4h/10 yuan), or you can park on the roadside. ☘️Travel Tips 🎫Ticket + 🚢Boat ticket total 138💰/person, which can be booked on Ctrip. There are more boat trips on holidays, generally from 8:00-15:00 (it is recommended to go between 8:00-9:30 in the morning) and the whole process is a boat tour lasting 3h. The route passes through Jiusha, Zhangtan Hongzhuang Pavilion, and Jiuxing Fishermen's Wind, three scenic spots. ⛺️Jiusha is that kind of simple Huizhou-style residence, with various scenes of labor that are perfect for taking photos, very photogenic. 💄The second attraction, Ten Miles of Red Makeup, is also quite stunning, and the huge sedan chair at the end is exquisitely carved, very beautiful, and also shows the wealth of the ancient Huizhou merchants. 🐟I think the most interesting is the last one, the Jiuxing Fishermen's Wind fishing🐟 performance, which is performed by local fishermen using everyday fishing tools. Among them is a 🚣‍♀️small boat that only fits one person, which makes one admire the fishermen's exquisite skills. 🥣For lunch, you can go to the restaurant at the dock, Botou Restaurant, which is quite crowded. Their ribs and scallion oil river shrimp taste amazing, and four dishes total over 140, which is a good value for money. 🏖️Finally, here is a map for your reference. After visiting the Landscape Gallery, if you still have time, you can also visit nearby attractions, such as Yuliang Dam, Huizhou Ancient City, Maihua Fishing Village, and Yangchan Tulou.

"The lake is as vast as Dongting, and the river flows into Xin'an clear" - poets always sing praises to the clarity of Xin'an River. From Mount Qi Yun to Yanzhou Ancient City, this mother river of Huizhou has nurtured too many sceneries worth talking about. As spring is in full bloom, let's start with the famous 'Landscape Gallery'. 📍Introduction to Xin'an River: Originating from Xiuning, Anhui, it flows through a fertile waterway of over 300 kilometers from Huangshan in Anhui to Jiande in Zhejiang. The so-called 'Landscape Gallery' usually refers to the nearly 100-kilometer-long riverside area from Nanyuankou Township (Shexian) to Qiandao Lake (Xin'an River Reservoir). Hiking Route: There are many ways to hike along the river, and the 10-kilometer trek from Nanyuankou to Xiongcun is one of the classics, generally "Nanyuankou Village - Xiaomeikou - Pukou Village (take a ferry across the river) - Zhucun - Yicheng Village - Xiongcun". 🚶🏻‍♂️Starting Point - Nanyuankou Village in Shexian: Next to it is the 'Nanyuankou Bridge' across the river, then follow the north bank trail heading southwest. Golden rapeseed flowers are embedded along the riverbank, and ancient camphor trees standing for centuries watch over the white Hui-style villages. The riverside trail will extend all the way to Pukou Village. 🚶🏻‍♂️Taking a Ferry at Pukou Village: As shown in picture 10, it takes about ten minutes to reach Zhucun on the opposite bank, and continue southwest along 'Zhucun Road'. Warm Tips: Yuliang Dam and Huizhou Ancient City: If you do not take a ferry at the dock, you can head north along the 006 county road, with the destination being Huizhou Ancient City and the county town of Shexian. 🚶🏻‍♂️You will pass through the beautiful Yicheng Village, where an ancient camphor tree by the roadside is a highlight. Its tree hole acts like a lens, reflecting the dense spring atmosphere under the canopy. Then you will ascend the 'Xiongcun Bridge' across Xin'an River. 🚶🏻‍♂️Xiongcun: After crossing the Xiongcun Bridge, you will reach the 'Xiongcun Scenic Area' in Shexian. It is said that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Cao family moved here, and the clan got its name from the 'Cao Quan Stele' which reads 'branches spread and leaves flourish, wherever they are, they are prominent'. Having grown a bit 'aesthetically tired' of the rapeseed flowers, you can take a closer look at this culturally rich ancient village. The 'Zhushan Academy' in the village is worth a visit. 🌈'The Same River': Xin'an River and Qiantang River are actually different sections of the same river. Xin'an River meets Lanjiang at Wulong Mountain (Yanzhou Ancient City) in Jiande and enters Tonglu Fuyang, known as 'Fuchun River', and then flows to Xiaoshan, where it is called Qiantang River.

📷 When spring comes, I think of Huizhou!❗ (Anhui's off-the-beaten-path spring viewing🎈) The most beautiful spring in the south of the Yangtze River🌸 must be in Anhui!😍 In the sunny March, the bright yellow rapeseed flowers seem to climb over every corner of Huizhou overnight.🤩 👀 Wherever the spring light reaches, there is endless tenderness.🥰 📌 8 hidden Anhui treasure spots for enjoying rapeseed flowers, no need to squeeze with the crowds in Wuyuan anymore~😜 📆 Rapeseed flowering period: March - April 1️⃣ Xin'an River Landscape Gallery Rapeseed Flowers 📍 Address: Shendu Town, Shexian County, Huangshan City 💐 Stretching about a hundred miles, it is a base for Anhui photography enthusiasts.

Xin'an River Landscape Gallery, a must-go for self-driving tours in Huangshan City, where you can also experience the fun of boarding by boat. The scenery is naturally unspeakable, especially beautiful, and it's worth going. Self-driving route: Start navigation to Xin'an River Landscape Gallery Visitor Center, set two waypoints, the first is Nanyuankou Village, and the second is Zicheng, as P1. Starting from Nanyuankou Village, keep driving deep along the river, you can see the sign of Huizhe No.1 Tourist Scenic Route. There are many people fishing along the way, and there are many parking check-in points where you can stop and take pictures. There are also many public toilets. There are many villages along the way, the scenery is particularly beautiful, and I was so busy looking at the scenery along the way that I didn't have time to take pictures or stop and look slowly. This road is a mountain road, with great ups and downs, and the road is relatively narrow. There are also oncoming cars, it is recommended that drivers with longer driving years drive, and novices drive carefully. When you get to the vicinity of the Xin'an River Visitor Center, many surrounding shopkeepers or stall-holding grandmothers will come up to sell, especially hard to entangle, and their appearance is very ugly. It is recommended that if you don't really want to buy something, don't care!!! What can you buy in Xin'an River Loquat syrup and loquat honey. The villages along the way are rich in loquats, and there are many loquat trees on the mountain. Many farmers' homes also post notices that can be purchased. There is also an e-commerce center near the government office, which should be specifically for export. We didn't stop to buy at that time, thinking that there would be more later, but as a result, no one sold it near the Xin'an River Landscape Gallery Visitor Center, which is a pity. Interested friends can stop by the roadside to inquire, you can bargain!!! When shopping in Huangshan, you can always bargain!!! Xin'an River Boat Strategy ①You can buy Xin'an River 100+ boat tickets, there is one in the morning and afternoon, you can sit to the opposite bank to the opposite village. I personally feel that the ticket price is a bit high, self-driving can already see the good scenery, and the time is also tight, so I didn't consider it this time. Interested friends can search for other strategies to see the schedule and time

A two-day budget tour of Shexian County, Anhui is absolutely worth it. Shexian County, Anhui, is a treasure trove for those who like to go to the village to see the mountains and waters. I like Shexian County so much that I plan to come again next time. 1⃣️Yangchan Tulou, the parking lot charges 10 yuan, the scenic area bus is 30 yuan per person, and there is no need for the aunt in the village to be a tour guide for 20 yuan, just refuse. If you like Tulou, you can take a look, it's almost the same as Songyang in Lishui. Passing through a super original village, the grass carp is swimming on the water surface, and there are no fishing guys. Then I went to Yuliang Dam, looked at the grassland by the water at dusk, the cows eating grass, strolled around Yuliang Village, it was very comfortable and beautiful. I stayed in Huizhou Ancient City at night, with various snacks, one for each. 2⃣️I got up at more than 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the viewing platform of Xiatai Village to see the sea of clouds, but unfortunately there was only a little bit, and I took some wild flowers on the top of the mountain. It was quite interesting. It was very painful to be bitten by a small bug on my leg. Then I went down the mountain to Shitan Village, a paradise for photography, a gathering place for old masters, and I still like the delicate Huizhou architecture. I have walked so many villages and they are all empty houses, the current situation of Chinese society. After arriving at the "Xin'anjiang Landscape Gallery", I went up the river, all the way was loquat trees, stop and take pictures, go into every village I pass, Miantan Village, Zhangtan Village... I really like the peaceful life in the village, with the green river that can be seen when I look up. Finally, I went to Yuliang Village in Huizhou Ancient City again, took sunset photos on the dam, and quietly waited for dusk. That feeling is too beautiful and precious. Shexian County, a treasure that is two and a half hours drive from Hangzhou, will come again next time to see the sea of clouds.

The starting point of the Xin'an River landscape gallery is Shendu Port. The port is not large, and only a few tourist ships can be seen. The weather was pretty good when we went. Taking random shots at the port, it feels quite good. The view from the third floor of the boat is better, we are on the second floor, it feels okay too. Cruising the Xin'an River landscape gallery, it's like being in a flowing landscape painting. The green mountains are continuous, the river is clear, and the ancient villages along the coast are full of Huizhou-style houses. Cruising on the Xin'an River, the scenery changes as the boat moves, making the journey refreshing. The Xin'an River landscape gallery is about a hundred miles long and is an important part of the 'Huangshan-Huizhou Ancient City Shexian-Thousand Island Lake' golden tourist line. The banks are fragrant with lush grass, deep forests, and dense trees, making it most suitable for boat tours. Cruising on the Xin'an River, the scenery changes as the boat moves, making the journey refreshing. The three-dimensional pattern of high mountain forests, middle mountain tea, low mountain fruits, and fish in the water, along with the ancient villages and ancient houses with pink walls and black tiles, make the Xin'an River particularly ecological and charming.

In the spring, the Xin'an River Landscape Gallery, the powder wall and the tile, the ten-mile yellow flower reflects the Huizhou folk house, and the river canoe is dotted with picturesque landscapes. From the Huangshan-Huizhou ancient city, Jixian County-Qiandaohu all the way, the ecological environment on both sides of the river is excellent.
