Yue Fei really didn't lie to me | The over-water sky road here is incredibly beautiful

Chizhou Pingtian Lake, a place of breathtaking beauty described by Li Bai, where Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty once stopped and marveled. This is still a hidden gem in Southern Anhui. Avoid the crowds during the May Day holiday and come experience the awe of "good mountains and waters that one can't get enough of." 🚗Transportation Guide: High-speed rail travelers: Nanjing South → Chizhou Station (1h20min), 10-minute taxi ride directly to Pingtian Lake. Self-drivers: 2-hour direct drive from Nanjing, ample parking spaces in the scenic area. Tip to avoid pitfalls: It is recommended to arrive at Guniujiang before 8 AM. 🏞Crowd-avoiding Essential Itinerary: Day 1: Ink Wash Painting Journey: Pingtian Lake (must bring a drone), Li Bai Fishing Platform, Nuoxian Town. Day 2: Hidden Gem Exploration: Guniujiang, Longmen Pool. 📸Photo Hotspots: 1. Pingtian Lake Sky Road: Aerial shots of the over-water road on a sunny day are stunning. 2. Nuoxian Town Night View: Blue tiles + red lanterns + flagstone paths = Republican era blockbuster. 3. Guniujiang Biyu Pool: Jelly-colored pool water + ancient bridge, a holy land for forest-themed photos. 🍜Chizhou Delicacies: 1. Guichi Xiaopa: Crispy skin with bursting juice, pickled vegetable filling is the soul. 2. Sweet Potato Flour Balls: Chewy and delicious, soaked in meat juice. 3. Qiupu Mandarin Fish: So tender it's hard to pick up with chopsticks. 🏡Accommodation Recommendations: 1. Luxury Choice: Shitai Julong Guniujiang Hotel (7-minute walk to the scenic area). 2. Value for Money Choice: Chizhou City hotels (200 yuan/night, convenient for night tours of Pingtian Lake). 💡Tips to Avoid Pitfalls: 1. For Pingtian Lake Sky Road photos, you need clear weather + low-altitude aerial photography. 2. Nuo opera performance times vary by season, inquire with the scenic area in advance. 3. Bring mosquito repellent for hiking in Guniujiang. The flagstone paths by the pools can be slippery, so be careful.
