Anhui Tiantangzhai Travel Guide

Anhui Tiantangzhai is located at the junction of Jinzhai County, Anhui Province and Luotian County, Hubei Province. It is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction. Tiantangzhai is extremely beautiful with natural scenery such as mountain scenery, water scenery, stone scenery and mountains and forests. There are also scenic spots such as Baima Grand Canyon, Longjian Peak, Baima Peak and waterfalls in the scenic area, which are suitable for visiting during leisure time. Introduction to Anhui

Anhui has many mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers can form a landscape. The most talked about scenery is the famous mountains, such as Huangshan Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, etc. Among these famous mountains and rivers, there is The place is particularly special. It spans the three provinces of Anhui, Hubei and Henan and stretches for nearly 400 kilometers. It is said that Sima Qian passed by its main peak on his way to worship with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lamented the different scenery between the north and the south and said: "The south of the mountain is full of flowers, and the north of the mountain is covered with snow. , the big fruits of this mountain are different from other mountains!" Later, it was named "Dabie Mountain" due to Sima Qian's records. As for modern times, Dabie Mountain became a household name due to the advance of Liu and Deng’s armies. Tiantangzhai

The superior mountain climate of the Dabie Mountains has given birth to a rich and colorful forest landscape, including the main peak Baimajian, which is misty all year round, Tianzhu Mountain, a remnant of the Dabie Mountains, one of the three famous mountains in Anhui, and an area of The ancient rhododendron community in Guifeng Mountain spans more than 100,000 acres. I have been deep into the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains many times, and one of the most impressive scenic spots is Tiantangzhai. Tiantangzhai is the second highest peak in the Dabie Mountains. It is located at the junction of Jinzhai County in Anhui and Luotian County in Hubei. It has towering granite landforms, strange peaks and rocks, and many Longtan waterfalls. As one of the seven major gene banks in China, Tiantangzhai is also the last virgin forest in East China. It is known as the "Animal Kingdom and the Ocean of Flowers". In April and May every year, when the flowers in other places are about to wither, spring in Tiantangzhai has just begun. There is a warm atmosphere everywhere in the mountain forest, and the breeze is mixed with the fragrance of mountain flowers.

Although Anhui’s Tiantang Village is only one step away from Hubei’s Tiantang Village, I think the scenery is still very different. The main features of Hubei are climbing the main peak, viewing the mountains, flowers and clouds, walking on the glass bridge, etc. After reaching the top, you can see the Central Plains to the north and Jingchu to the south, with a panoramic view of the majestic mountains. It is an ideal place for climbing and watching the sunrise.

The primeval forests in Anhui are relatively well preserved, with numerous canyons and waterfalls. Such large-scale waterfalls are quite rare in East China. In addition, you can also see the nearby Huizhou buildings in western Anhui hidden in the steaming clouds and the former site of the front headquarters of Liu and Deng's army advancing into the Dabie Mountains. This year, Anhui Tiantangzhai 5A Scenic Area is free of charge for people across the country and will last until May 31. It is a good time to experience the graceful spring. Travel Guide

Self-driving is the most perfect way to visit Anhui Tiantangzhai. The Dabie Mountain Scenic Road is known as the most beautiful self-driving route in East China. It consists of three parts: the 500-mile Xianfeng Ancient Road self-driving route, the Red Journey theme route, and the Martin Highway cross-country route. It connects Jinzhai Red Army Square, Tangjiahui Red Town, Dawan Village, Liu Deng Dajun leaped thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountain Front Command and other red cultural attractions and natural scenic spots such as Tiantangzhai, Yanzi River Grand Canyon, Meishan Reservoir, Mazhao Ridge, Tea Mountain and Sea of ??Flowers, creating an original ecological scene. Martin Highway in particular is recognized by self-driving enthusiasts as a scenery comparable to the "Tibet Heavenly Road". It starts from Dingbu Village in Nanxi Town, Jinzhai County, passes through Mazhaoling, and ends at Tiantangzhai. There are also several observation decks on the best section of the road, where you can stop your car and take photos, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Dabie Mountain.

Depart from Wuhan via the Hurong Expressway, get off the expressway at the Banzhuyuan exit, and first drive to the Mazhaoling section. Mazhaoling is the core area of ??Tianma National Terminus Reserve. Along the winding mountain road, the scenic spot is famous for its four major features: thousand-year-old trees, painted rocks, waterfalls and canyons. In spring, peach blossoms and azaleas are in full bloom. It's gorgeous, with thick fog everywhere, like walking through a fairyland. The best time to visit Tiantangzhai is from early morning. I chose to stay overnight in the scenic spot the night before and start climbing early the next morning. The Xiongguan Plank Road twists and turns upward, and the clouds rise along the distant mountains. The speed is eye-popping. The "Jinzhai on the Clouds" really lives up to its reputation. Within a 2-kilometer radius of Tiantangzhai, there are five waterfalls distributed one after another, namely Jiuying Waterfall, Lover Waterfall, Xieyu Waterfall, Lady Waterfall and Silver Gong Waterfall. They may be overwhelmingly powerful, or gentle and gentle like a girl, or Just like the white dragon going out to sea, each has its own characteristics. No wonder there is a poem praising it, "Walking through Huang'e Dai and Lu, only the water in Paradise is the best." After walking to the Tiger Walking Land, take the Duoyun Mountain Cableway directly to the main peak. When you sit on the zip line to fly across the canyon and fly back and forth between the White Horse Peaks, the wind is whistling in your ears and the green mountains are flying at your feet. It is quite heroic to "see all the mountains at a glance". The weather in the mountains is always changeable. After a drizzle, the sun appears again, light and dark shadows appear on the rolling mountains, and the peaks change into strange waves. This intertwining of romance and roughness is surprising.
