Things to do in Jing County

Zhaoji Ancient Town is a gem of Hui-style architecture. Strolling along the bluestone-paved lanes, you'll see staggered gable walls and exquisitely carved ancient houses. Here, there is little commercial noise, and the atmosphere of the original inhabitants' lives is rich. It is not only a specimen of history but also a living village, simple and peaceful.

Peach Blossom Pool truly lives up to its name. The water is crystal clear and emerald green, with the ancient Hui-style village of white walls and black tiles standing beside it. Taking a boat trip on the lake, the scenery is picturesque, evoking the poetic sentiment of Li Bai's poem to Wang Lun. The tranquil and healing landscape is definitely worth a visit.

Overall, it's not bad. The architecture itself is airy and transparent, and it should be great for taking photos when the weather is good and there are few people. However, the experience is much worse when it's crowded, and it's difficult to take good pictures. The downside is that the parking lot is too small, and the scenic area's planning and management are inadequate. When I went on October 3rd, it was a rainy day, and there weren't many people, but because the museum is located right next to the national highway, in addition to cars entering the attraction, there were also passing cars. Because there's a waiting time to park inside, the road was very congested, taking almost half an hour to get through. After entering, it took another fifteen minutes to find a parking space. Finally, I parked at a school next to the national highway. Fortunately, there was no parking fee, which was better than other scenic spots. The scenic area should prioritize the construction of a good parking lot.

There are only two slopes, and you still get soaked. The rest are for the elderly. The green mountains and green waters are quite comfortable. I like the elderly. It is comfortable and cool to lie down all the time. The 30-degree temperature feels like 20 degrees on the boat. The water is a bit dirty when you are about to reach the end. There is a free shuttle bus back to the starting point at the end. If you want to change clothes, you still have to park your car at the end and take the shuttle bus to the starting point.

The scenery is beautiful, but the complimentary Shu Road climb is strenuous, so those who are not in good physical condition should not attempt it. The equipment on the downhill slide is a bit old. Actually, the scenery inside and outside the scenic area is quite nice.

Like a stack of Xuan paper slowly unfolding, it paints a cultural scroll of southern Anhui in ink and wash style. Take photos, produce pictures; visit the 108 steps of Xuan paper making and marvel; watch the factory making giant three-foot-three-inch Xuan paper and be amazed; experience Xuan paper making yourself and feel satisfied.

For someone like me who lives in a plain area, the scenery was quite nice. However, upon closer inspection, the bamboo rafts were made of plastic, not real bamboo, which made it less enjoyable. The all-inclusive ticket didn't include the mini-train; you had to buy a separate ticket for 30 yuan per person, which was a bit disappointing! The animals in the woods were all very thin, which was a bit off-putting. I hope the景区 management will treat them better! Many tourists brought their dogs, which added to the trip, but some dogs were quite aggressive and would fight and bark. I hope the景区 can improve its supervision and management in this regard.

Just looking at the scenery, I think it is worth a trip to the Southern Anhui Grand Canyon. It is so beautiful, hahahaha, and most importantly, there is enough water! You won't be unable to float

I am quite satisfied with the overall environment. The garden is not very big. There are not many kinds of animals. There are two elephants at the entrance. I thought there must be some inside. I took my baby to look for them for a long time but couldn't find them.
