The attraction is small, mainly introducing Li Hongzhang's life: his early studies, his business ventures in middle age, and his later involvement in Westernization. The main building is the Li family residence, which features many photo exhibitions, offering insights into the life of this prominent figure in the late Qing Dynasty. Located on Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street, it's a great place to stroll along the street. Nearby attractions include Xiaoyaojin Park and Bao Gong Temple.

Lecturer Wang Qiaoyun was very professional when introducing the Bao Gong Temple, connecting Bao Gong with the national policies of the Northern Song Dynasty, which gave us a deeper understanding of this period of history and Bao Gong! [Smile]

The new Anhui Provincial Museum features a Hui-style "four waters returning to the hall" design, exuding grandeur and tranquility. Admission is free, but remember to make a reservation in advance. The exhibition halls unfold along a historical timeline, from the Lingjiatan Jade Pig and the Zhuke Ding (a large bronze vessel), to the Wu King Guangjian (a bronze mirror) and Hui-style brick carvings, each artifact connecting five thousand years of civilization in the Jianghuai region. The Chu Ding (a large bronze vessel) is particularly impressive. The guide, Liu Ruya, provides a patient and humorous explanation, enhancing the visit.

Here's a little-known fact: the "lei" in Leijie (pronounced léi) comes from bronze wine vessels from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. People in Anhui like to drink large cups together and then drink them all in one gulp, which is commonly known as "zha leizi" (炸罍子). This name has both historical significance and reflects the bold and generous spirit of the people of Hefei!

Luogang Central Park is the world's largest urban central park and the site of the National Horticultural Exposition. The park is huge, with many functional areas to meet various visitor experiences. It is easily accessible by subway and has everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment. It is a representative park of Hefei.

- Mountain Gate and Screen Wall: Entering from the mountain gate, the first thing you see is the screen wall with a white background and black frame. There are green lotuses painted in the middle of the front and back, which means that one can be untainted by mud. - Main Hall: In the middle sits a huge statue of Bao Gong, with statues of Wang Chao, Ma Han and other four guards on both sides. There are five horizontal plaques hanging above. There are also "Dragon Head Chopper", "Tiger Head Chopper" and "Dog Head Chopper" in the hall. There is a stone carving of "Portrait of Bao Xiaosu Gong of Song Dynasty" on the right wall. - East and West Wing Exhibition Room: The East Wing has "A Brief Biography of Bao Zheng" and other books; the West Wing has the Bao Family Genealogy, a replica of "Portrait of Bao Gong in Nanxun Hall of the Forbidden City" and unearthed cultural relics of Bao family members. - Lianquan Pavilion: There is an ancient Lianquan well in the pavilion. It is said that the water of Lianquan well will be fine for honest officials and good people, but corrupt officials and unworthy descendants will have headaches and stomach upsets if they drink it.  - Liufang Pavilion: A hip-and-gable pavilion built by the river, with carved beams and painted buildings on the inverted lintel and facing the sky on three sides. It is said that this was the place where Bao Gong rested and played after studying when he was young.

Hefei Shaoquan Sports Center is not big, but the hardware is good. The air conditioning, sound system and lighting are all top-notch!

The site recreates the old Hefei street scene from the 1980s, including the old railway station, green train, supply and marketing cooperative, and a wall with 108 old-fashioned TV sets, creating a fantastic atmosphere perfect for taking retro photos from the Republican era.

The exhibit details Hefei's historical significance during the Three Kingdoms period, which is very appealing, and the exhibition hall is also quite new. However, the VR experience is overpriced, costing 25 yuan for just 10 minutes, making it poor value for money.
