Lujiang's Exploding Popularity in Rural Self-Driving Tours|||🌿 **The latest Lujiang rural travel guide! 2 days and 1 night off-the-beaten-path experience, fewer people, beautiful scenery perfect for photos!** 🌿 Recently, Lujiang's pastoral scenery has been flooding my feed!

🌾 Must-Visit Attractions
1️⃣ Yunli An'ao
Lujiang’s most popular cluster of guesthouses! A healing village hidden in the mountain valley, white walls and black tiles + endless rice fields, like stepping into a Studio Ghibli comic~📸

A 200-year-old ancient village with bluestone paths and old teahouses, time slows down here. Be sure to try the freshly made **rice dumplings** and **osmanthus sugar cakes**!🍡

Hefei’s version of "Little Erhai"! Clear lake water, super pleasant cycling along the lakeside boardwalk, and you can camp and picnic too~⛺️
