Things to do in Feixi

Sanhe Ancient Town is a free ancient town near Hefei that's well worth visiting. With its charming canals, ancient streets, and alleys, it exudes a captivating atmosphere. You can stroll along the cobblestone paths, visit historical residences, and sample local delicacies such as rice dumplings, rice wine, and dried tea. It's not overly commercialized, making for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Overall, it offers great value for money and is perfect for a short trip to experience the charm of a Jianghuai water town.

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.

Our home is near the aquarium, and we got a super deal on an annual pass for just over 200 yuan. We bring our kids here every day. It's a great indoor place for a summer outing with kids, with a variety of shows, especially the mermaid and sea lion/dolphin shows. The underwater tunnel and jellyfish exhibit are magical, and the kids had a blast. It gets crowded on holidays, so remember to arrive early to secure a good spot for the shows. We recommend bringing your own snacks. The visit takes about 3-4 hours, and it's definitely worth it for families.

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.

For this trip to Hefei, I chose the Sunac Novotel, which was conveniently located just across the street from Sunac Resort. The lake-view rooms offered great views, and while the rooms were a bit old, they were clean and tidy overall, providing a comfortable stay. After playing in the park and it started raining, we could immediately return to the hotel to rest. Their breakfast was plentiful, with a variety of options, and the food was quite good. The Shore Grassland is just a ten-minute walk away and worth a visit. It's about an hour's drive from Nanjing, making it a good option for weekend getaways.

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.

Very nice place at day and at night nice park and entertainment quite places and tea houses for families and singles

The roller coaster is violent enough! I almost broke my neck, it's more exciting than fighting training. Hui-style buildings are all made of real cement, and you will definitely get a bloody head if you hit it - don't ask me how I know. Water activities are a must! The artificial wave pool is more violent than the wild waves of Chaohu Lake, and I drank several sips of disinfectant. But when I was queuing, the couple in front of me was so affectionate that I wanted to jump off the building. It is recommended to add a VIP channel for single men. Disadvantages: 1. The prices are too high, and the sausage is 15 yuan each. 2. The haunted house is not scary enough, and the staff is not as fierce as my ex-girlfriend. Overall four stars, one star deducted because I didn't see the Bao Gong theme boxing ring!

The atmosphere is very commercial, with restaurants and bars. The Lu Dizhi Noodle Shop inside features Huangmei Opera performances, but it's not a good place to eat. Prices are high, but the actual cost is inflated, making it unsuitable for budget-conscious consumers. The chicken soup was served lukewarm, like it was just boiled water, and the red dates in it were dried. After the meal, we ordered a pot of tea, but there were no tea leaves, and it was unclear whether the tea had been brewed beforehand; the teapot itself wasn't clean either. However, the restaurant atmosphere is really nice, and the prices are acceptable, but the quality needs improvement.

The ticket price is worthwhile. The giraffe enclosure is quite large, and there are three giraffes; however, the number of elephants, lions, tigers, and leopards is relatively small. The sea lion show is excellent and very entertaining. Overall, it's a decent zoo and worth a visit, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're short on time in Hefei.
