Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the surging river. ✔️ **Liuchi Lane in Tongcheng**: The epic story of humility, "Give him three feet," captured in stunning photos amidst the blue bricks and black tiles. **🗺️ Must-see Itinerary** **Day 1 Landscape Exploration**: Explore the mysterious stone maze in Tianzhu Mountain's Mysterious Valley → Boat trip on Liandan Lake → Night tour of the Daobashi Historical District (Huangmei Opera live performance) **Day 2 Cultural Journey**: Morning bell ringing at Yingjiang Temple → Admire Yan Fengying's opera costumes at the Anqing Museum → Visit Chen Duxiu's Former Residence → Reflect on ancient teachings at Liuchi Lane **📸 Best Photo Spots** 1️⃣ **Qinglong Ridge, Tianzhu Mountain**: Aerial photography of the stone peaks rising from the sea of clouds like a dragon's spine. 2️⃣ **Riverside of Zhenfeng Pagoda**: Wide-angle upward shot of the ancient pagoda and the Yangtze River Bridge in the same frame. 3️⃣ **Daobashi Archway at Night**: Warm glow of lanterns + Huangmei Opera background music, instantly transported to a Ming and Qing Dynasty commercial port. **🚗 Transportation Tips** ▫️High-speed Rail: Hefei → Anqing Station (1.5h), Bus No. 15 goes directly to Zhenfeng Pagoda. ▫️Self-driving: The "Tianzhu Mountain Section" of the Southern Anhui Scenic Road offers a thrilling mountain driving experience. **🍜 Foodie Delights** √ Jiangmao Dumplings: Chicken soup dumplings with fried noodles, a century-old restaurant with an average price of 20 yuan. √ Shanfen Yuanzi Braised Pork: Sweet potato flour-wrapped pork, savory and glutinous. √ Huyumei Broad Bean Sauce: Intangible cultural heritage sauce, perfect for mixing with noodles. **⚠️ Tips from Experience** 🔸Tianzhu Mountain tickets cost 130 yuan (including scenic transportation), cable car up and down costs 160 yuan to save energy. 🔸Zhenfeng Pagoda has steep steps, wear non-slip shoes! The top floor can only accommodate 5 people. 🔸Daobashi Street lights up at 19:30, Huangmei Opera performances are mainly on weekends. **✨ Compelling Copy** "When the bronze bells of Zhenfeng Pagoda ring out over the river waves, and the sea of clouds on Tianzhu Peak drifts over the thousand-year-old opera melodies. This is not a footnote to Jiangnan, but an exclamation mark of the cultural heritage of the Wanjiang River." 🔔 **Follow me to decode the cultural genes of niche cities!**
