Tianzhu Mountain, an ideal summer resort in Anhui, is scorched at high temperature and crisp in autumn.

In summer, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and southern China are getting hotter and hotter, and summer vacation is an ideal choice.

I have been to Anqing, Anhui before, and found that the sultry feeling of this city in midsummer is no less than that of Changsha, Nanchang, Wuhan and other stove cities. Walking in the sun for a short time feels like being baked in an oven, but there is also a summer resort here, which is in sharp contrast to the sultry heat at the foot of the mountain.

This summer resort is Tianzhu Mountain in Qianshan County.

Although Tianzhu Mountain is one of the three famous mountains in Anhui Province, its popularity has not been very high. One of the reasons is probably that there are too many tourist attractions in Anhui Province. Another reason is that the Sui Dynasty gave the title of "Nanyue", which originally belonged to Tianzhu Mountain, to Hengshan Mountain in Hunan Province for the purpose of the southern expedition, but today, Tianzhu Mountain is still called "Ancient Nanyue" in the local area.

Tianzhu Mountain is less than 1, 500m above sea level, with lush vegetation, an alchemy lake to adjust the temperature and superior climatic conditions.

In midsummer, although the temperature at the foot of the mountain breaks through 30 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius from time to time, the mountain has maintained a comfortable temperature of more than 20 degrees on average for a long time.

Because of the lush trees, I spend most of my time walking in the shade of trees, which feels like being in an air-conditioned room, especially when the mountain wind blows head-on.

Tianzhu mountain scenic spot is not too big, and a day trip is just a cursory tour. The ideal way to experience it is to arrive early, visit the alchemy lake and its surroundings on the first day, climb the back of Qinglong to watch the sunrise before sunrise the next day, and then easily visit other places or go down the mountain on foot.

Andan Lake, formerly known as Yao Yao Ping, is the third peak Pinghu in China, and its scenery is comparable to that of Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain and Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain, even better from the perspective of wonderful scenery.

Andan Lake is a secluded place for ancient Taoist alchemists. The most famous representative is Zuo Ci in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has been 1000 years. The reason why these "hermits" choose to live in Tianzhu Mountain is not only the comfortable climate, but also the unique aura of the mountain.

Tianzhu Mountain is a typical granite landform, which is highly similar to Jiuhua Mountain and Huangshan Mountain in Anhui and Sanqingshan Mountain in Jiangxi and Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi.

This landform is steep, and few ordinary people can climb this mountain in ancient times.

The beauty of Tianzhu Mountain lies in the vast sea of clouds set off by strange peaks and rocks and lush trees. When the morning sun shines on the sea of clouds and mountains, the whole picture is like a layer of golden light, which is particularly shocking. Photographers often make special trips to climb mountains. The light and shadow at sunrise and sunset are the focus of their capture. Porters who are active on various hiking routes are also one of the creative themes. These porters can also be seen in Huangshan and Huashan, which is a unique scenery.

There are not many places to stay on Tianzhu Mountain, and the internal environment is not as good as that of five-star hotels in other places, but the advantage is that the surrounding scenery is beautiful and cool. The house price on the mountain is neither low nor high, and the relative location is acceptable, but summer vacation generally needs to be booked in advance.
