Tell me about this trip.

Speaking of the city of Lu 'an, Anhui, I knew for the first time that I was called "Lu 'an" before I came, so that I was laughed at by my friends for a long time. Its actual pronunciation is "Lu 'an". I like this city very much. There are four national scenic spots here: Baimajian in Dabie Mountain, Wanfo Lake in 5A scenic spot, Yanzi River Grand Canyon in 4A scenic spot, Tiantangzhai in 5A scenic spot, and the first pot of Wanfo Lake, melon slices in Lu 'an, Dendrobium huoshanense and hanging pot food, which all make me feel good about Lu 'an.

This time, I will walk into Lu 'an with my friends and show you the beauty and food of Lu 'an.

Lu' an special food

Traveling abroad, for some people who just want to experience local customs and visit scenic spots around the world, special food is not necessarily necessary; But for some foodies like me, food is essential. When you travel to a place, you are sure to eat the most famous things there. Personally, I think these things must be eaten, otherwise it would be like going to this place for nothing.

I heard about it from people around me a long time ago, but I didn't eat it because I didn't have a chance. Now I finally have a chance, so naturally I won't miss any delicious food.

Wan Di Yi fish pot

Fish head in Wanfo Lake casserole is a special food in Shucheng County, Lu 'an City. "Wanfo Lake Casserole Fish Head" is made of authentic bighead carp head from Wanfo Lake, with pure water, unique seasoning and slow fire. It is delicious, unique in taste, fresh but not fishy, fat but not greasy, juicy and tender, high in protein and low in fat, and rich in essential trace elements such as potassium, sodium, iron, phosphorus and selenium.

This fish head pot is different from what I thought. As delicious as spicy hot pot. Not just a fish soup pot. It's really worthwhile to drive so far to eat a pot of fish head.

Tiantangzhai diaoguo

Generally speaking, you must not miss a very special hanging pot banquet in Lu 'an, especially when you arrive at Tiantangzhai, which is the most authentic. The iron pot is hung from the ceiling by a chain connected with a wooden hook, and a fire is made under it. When the pot is hot, put the ingredients into the iron pot. Some places are chicken and some places are fish soup. We ate fish soup pot.

The charcoal under the iron pot not only makes the soup in the pot more delicious, but also makes the whole house warm and suitable for eating in cold weather.

Hanging pot in Tiantangzhai, eating hanging pot means eating "earth", eating "taste", enjoying food, wine and feeling. Before hanging the pot, the aroma was overflowing, and the green chopped green onion was dotted in the center, which immediately aroused people's appetite.

Jiu xian Zun Shi Hu base

When we entered Lu 'an, our party came to Jiuxian Zun Dendrobium Base and felt the magical charm of Cao Xian.

We first came to the inoculation workshop and watched the technicians cultivate Dendrobium. In the soilless culture base, Dendrobium seedlings raised in glass bottles are lush and grow gratifying. I can't help but admire the advanced technology now.

In the non-legacy exhibition center, workers show the production process of Dendrobium officinale. This herb can be created through a series of complicated processes, such as rolling, drying, cleaning, frying, sorting and defoliation.

In Baiyao Garden, I saw different kinds of Dendrobium blooming everywhere in the garden. Dendrobium flower can nourish yin, moisten lung, nourish stomach, promote fluid production, improve eyesight and clear away heat, enhance immunity, and resist aging, and has certain curative effects on respiratory diseases, chronic hepatitis, chronic gastritis and other diseases.

First of all, I listened to the introduction of Dendrobium by the staff. It turns out that this small Dendrobium huoshanense is called the first of the "Nine Immortals in China", which has magical effects such as nourishing the brain, nourishing the heart and reducing fire.

Go to the museum to see all kinds of fairy grass introductions, from wild provenance protection, seedling raising, wild cultivation, product research and development to cultural experience. Another cup of freshly brewed tea, it's delicious!

the great rift valley in west anhui

Today, I'm going to the West Anhui Rift Valley. It is basically only a walking distance from the hotel to the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, and it will save a lot of time. I have regained my strength after a night's rest. In the morning, I packed my bags with my friends, and then began to challenge the West Anhui Rift Valley on foot.

The geology of the rift valley in western Anhui developed about 65.438+0.6 billion years ago, which is a geological wonder integrating canyon landform and cave landscape. The rift valley is about1500m long, with the narrowest part only a few tens of centimeters and the height exceeding10m. The canyon can reach nearly 100 meters from the bottom to the top.

The mountains in Dabie Mountain are steep and rugged, and the mountains here in the West Anhui Rift Valley concentrate on the precipitousness of Dabie Mountain. It has been in the original state and has not been over-developed. The original vegetation is rich and diverse, the vegetation is well protected, and the ecological environment between the whole valley is excellent. Strolling through the canyons is like being in the natural oxygen bar of nature, and the air is fresh and pleasant.

The West Anhui Rift Valley was formed by the long-term scouring and undercutting of flowing water along the fault structure, and the caves on its west side were also formed by the selective dissolution of flowing water along the weak parts of the rock structure, which is a rare wonder of mountain cracks in China. Mountains, forests, springs, caves, waterfalls, lakes, ponds, gorges, pits and crevices are all available, and each step is a unique natural landscape.

The majestic mountains of Dabie Mountain meander here, splitting in two and running in opposite directions, forming a long and narrow V-shaped rift. Standing at the bottom of the valley and looking up at the sky only half an inch; Climb to the top of the valley and look back. It is bottomless.

In the Rift Valley, this is a natural adventure. There is no road here, even in sunny weather, it is difficult to walk here. The valleys are rainy all year round. In the Rift Valley of East Africa, you have to put on wooden boards and pull chains in crevices to walk between canyons. Only one person can pass through the narrowest place.

Crossing the West Anhui Rift Valley, you will appreciate the wonders of nature, and you have to marvel at its wonders. Throughout the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, thousands of large and small caves and narrower and narrower canyons are amazing and amazing. This should not be the China version of the "Great Rift Valley in East Africa", but the only unmanned "Great Rift Valley in West Anhui" in the world.

It takes about an hour and a half to climb from the canyon to the top of the mountain. There is a glass slide on the top of the mountain to experience. In order to save time, we took the slide down the mountain, and the whole journey only took 1 more minutes. After coming out of the Grand Canyon in western Anhui, we went to our next destination-September Villa.

September mountain villa

Drive from the Grand Canyon in western Anhui to September Mountain Villa, which is a rural tourism demonstration base integrating characteristic ecological planting, interesting sightseeing and picking, outdoor sports base, local flavor agricultural products, recreation and holiday leisure.

Walking in the villa, you can see red propaganda slogans everywhere, where you can inherit red genes, innovate characteristic experiences and participate in the little red army sitcom.

There is a good characteristic experience here: traditional hand-cranked stone mill, making ecological delicious tofu. Experience folk culture and use traditional stone mortar to make Ciba.

There is also a snack street-Qian Dian Houfang, which is made in a retro way, without additives, and has leisure characteristics. Buy some special snacks here, which are absolutely handmade and pollution-free.

Eat and drink, and experience the online celebrity swing bridge, go-kart club, horse riding field and live CS field camp. ......

During the epidemic, we can't travel far, so let's go to the leisure villa in September, eat farm food and play outward bound training.

Dabieshan Grottoes

September villa didn't take up much time, just enough time to go to Dabie Mountain Grottoes.

I have been to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi and Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, and I have felt their ingenuity. But do you know, in the vast land of China, are there any natural grottoes carved by people? That kind of geological wonder can only be formed by natural forces after tens of millions or even billions of years of weathering and stripping.

Dabie Mountain Grottoes, located in Lu 'an City, Anhui Province, are naturally carved caves with individual temperament, and are geological wonders of Jurassic period 65.438+600 million years ago. If the four grottoes in China are masterpieces of ancient artists, then the Dabie Mountain Grottoes are masterpieces of nature.

The Dabie Mountain Grottoes and the three China Grottoes have the same characteristics-they have a strong Buddhist color. However, the Dabie Mountain Grottoes are different from them. There are no Buddha statues carved in the Dabie Mountain Grottoes, but only one temple is hidden in the Dabie Mountain. Go deep into the mountains, listen to the Sanskrit and purify your mind.

Dabie Mountain Grottoes Scenic Area has written a strong stroke in history. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was an unprecedented peasant war in the history of China and the world. A branch of Hong Xiuquan's family camped in the Dabie Mountain Grottoes, which was called "Hong Shanzhai" by local people and became a witness of history.

As soon as you step into the Dabie Mountain Grottoes Scenic Area, the surface of a mountain can be seen everywhere in the distance. This is a natural cave group-"Dabie Mountain Grottoes" formed by the erosion, weathering, denudation and gravity collapse of rocks and minerals in 654.38+6 billion years.

Climbing up the stairs, the mountain in front of us is like a torn mouth, devouring the scenery in front of us. It's like a lion who just woke up, opened his mouth and wolfed down the food in his trap. This huge cave formed by huge rock crevices is located halfway up the mountain and is called Kaiyan, the largest cave in western Anhui.

There are countless grottoes in Dabie Mountain Grottoes Scenic Area. The smallest grottoes can only accommodate one child bending over, while the largest can accommodate thousands of people at the same time-Kaiyan. At that time, a branch of Hong Xiuquan's family in the Kingdom of Tian Ping took a fancy to the concealment of open rocks, and the temperature in the caves was suitable. There is a waterfall hanging down at the mouth of the cave, which can provide water, so it decided to camp here.

We didn't have much time to stay in the Dabie Mountain Grottoes, so we just played and hurried to Wanfo Lake.

Qiandao Lake in Anhui-Wanfo Lake

It is always good to go out for a walk. Travel has many advantages, perhaps to relax and relieve stress, or to see the bigger world and increase knowledge, or just to enjoy beautiful scenery and eat delicious food. As we all know, there are many famous mountains in Anhui, among which Huangshan Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain are the most famous, but there are not many famous lakes in Anhui. The most famous is Wanfo Lake in Lu 'an City. Today I came to Wanfo Lake.

Wanfo Lake Scenic Area, formerly known as Longhekou Reservoir, belongs to the national 5A-level water conservancy scenic area and is a lake-type sightseeing scenic spot centered on Wanfo Lake. Known as "Qiandao Lake in Anhui", it is also known as "Beidaihe and Hefei Back Garden in Anhui".

Wanfo Lake is a large artificial lake, surrounded by mountains, full of waves, wide water surface, winding harbor forks, floating green islands, gull islands and boats.

Wanfo Lake has a wide water surface, surrounded by mountains, and is clear and sparkling. There are many small islands in the lake, such as Yanzi Island, Furong Island, Zangxian Island and Wanfo Island, which can be visited. The air on the island is fresh, the trees are lush and the scenery is pleasant.

We went to Swallow Island by boat. There are many birds and peacocks on the island. Here we can feed peacocks, enjoy the pride of peacocks and all kinds of birds. The ecological environment here is very good.

Next, I went to Zhouyu Island, where there is a zip line between the two islands. The zip line looks very exciting, and I must have some ideological struggle before playing. Brave people must experience it. Hanging in mid-air to see the scenery is simply a kind of enjoyment, and the field of vision is very broad.

Traveling to Wanfo Lake and climbing mountains are still a good choice. You can kill two birds with one stone by taking beautiful photos and exercising along the way. Why not?

There is a sightseeing tower on the top of the hill in the distance. The sightseeing tower has seven floors, and the top floor has a good sightseeing scenery. You can have a bird's-eye view of Wanfo Lake, and feel that other mountains are very short under the sky. You can have a panoramic view of the reservoir. It's spectacular.

Advance into Dabie Mountain-Baimajian

Baimajian is the core landscape of Dabie Mountain, with an altitude of1.777m, second only to the second peak of Huangshan Mountain. Although Baimajian is listed as a 4A-level scenic spot, its ecology is still primitive and it is rich in animal and plant resources. Usually there are not many tourists.

It was already evening when we drove to Baimajian. We stayed at the resort hotel in the scenic spot and prepared to climb the mountain the next morning.

After breakfast in the morning, the road up the mountain in Baimajian is relatively wild, sometimes gentle and sometimes steep. But the view is wide, and you can enjoy the mountains while climbing. At the end of April, when you walk on the hiking trail, clusters of azaleas will catch your eye. They are like friends who accompany you all the way, and they have opened a big flower on your only road. Look at your favorite trees, they are so gorgeous, so beautiful and naughty.

On the way to the top of the mountain, besides the green trees on both sides, there are large and small canyons and waterfalls. There are many azaleas on the roadside. In the flowering period, the lush branches and leaves are full of red and purple flowers. From a distance, they are in groups of three and five, just like a group of burning and jumping flames.

From a close distance, some flowers are in bud, some are half open and half closed, and some are in full bloom. The blooming petals are as delicate as silks and satins, and the edges of the petals are as curved as fairy skirts.

Because there is no cable car, I can only climb to the top of the mountain on my legs. After walking for nearly two hours, I can finally reach the top of the mountain. There are piles of rocks there, and you can only go up with your hands and feet. We didn't climb to the top of the mountain this time. There are many pine trees here. The altitude here is1500m, and it is more than 200m away from the finish line. Because of time, I didn't conquer the mountain. I must climb again when I have the chance.

Climbing high and looking far here, the mountains are continuous, the eyes are overlooking, the mountain breeze is blowing gently, and the mist is rising, which seems to have a light feeling. If the gods visit this place.

Because Baimajian is primitive and there are not many commercial facilities, including cable cars, not many people come here to play. I don't know if you have a crush after reading it. Do you want to come and have a look?

He Yanzi Grand Canyon

He Yanzi Grand Canyon is a 4A-level tourist attraction, not far from Tiantangzhai Scenic Area. "Strange rocks, secluded valleys, beautiful waters and dangerous cliffs" are the biggest features of this scenic spot, which perfectly combines virgin forests, waterfalls, canyon rapids and strange rocks.

The scenic spot is divided into two scenic spots, the canyon and the tiankeng, which are composed of elliptical circular tour lines, with a circle of about 5000 meters. There is no need to go back, the scenery along the way is different.

Because the canyon is deep in Dabie Mountain, there are not many tourists here, there are not so many commercial things here, and the ecosystem is well preserved. If you want to experience the original natural scenery, this place must come. Not far from the entrance of the scenic spot, a transparent glass suspension bridge comes into view. In this clear natural environment, it doesn't seem abrupt at all. Visitors here must wear the shoe covers provided by the scenic spot to get on the bridge.

In the middle of the bridge above the river at the bottom of the valley, you will feel the beauty of 360 degrees without dead ends. The long canyon seems endless, and the breeze in the valley blows slowly, as if people are wandering in the painting. Some people may worry that walking around the transparent glass suspension bridge is a bit scary, but believe me, the scenery you see on the bridge will make you feel at ease.

The rocks at the bottom of the valley have an unadorned beauty. I can't help admiring the wonders of nature. These stones have special texture and strong color impact under the scouring of rivers day after day. No matter how you shoot it, there is a feeling of blockbuster. You will feel that the shutter can't stop and don't want to live up to every angle.

The scenic plank road is built along the canyon and stretches for several kilometers. Walking on the plank road, the running water and drizzle on the roadside are getting stronger and stronger.

Once a swift stream meets a cliff with a big drop, it will form a waterfall. Therefore, waterfalls in the canyon are one after another, with different shapes and sizes. There is naturally a deep pool under the waterfall, but according to the depth of the pool, the accumulated water will also appear: some are as bright as crystal, some are as green as jade, and some are as delicate and soft as jasper.

Tiankeng in He Yanzi Grand Canyon Scenic Area is the first strange pit in Dabie Mountain. It is said that it was formed by crustal movement during the Ice Age 260 million years ago. This pit is 280 meters deep, and there are cliffs on three sides, so it is impossible to climb. Visitors can only look up at the sky at the bottom of the pit and see the "Nine-Day Fairy Waterfall" hanging straight into the sky.

In this valley, walking on the wooden plank road on the cliff is super enjoyable. Fiona Fang needs tens of meters to meet other tourists, hear the echo of waterfalls falling into deep pools and smell the fragrance of leaves in the wind ... At this moment, I am really glad to meet such a pure land in Dabie Mountain.

Tiantangzhai, the last virgin forest in East China

When I first came to Tiantangzhai, the mountain was shrouded in dark clouds, looming and full of fairy tales. I have long heard that the four seasons in Tiantangzhai change endlessly, just like "heaven", which was called "many clouds" in ancient times. This is really an eye-opener.

Due to several days of intensive mountaineering and work, I decided to go straight up the mountain by cable car. The cable car is 2300m long, and it takes less than 10 minutes to reach the top.

When you get off the cable car and walk a short distance to Yuping Peak, the scenery in the distance is particularly spectacular, and you instantly feel glad that you came on this trip. There is a stone slab about two meters high above the main peak, and on one side is the "border between Anhui and Hubei"; Turning to the other side, there are five big characters "Jianghuai Watershed". It is said that the boundary pillar of the "Anhui-Hubei border" has also become a punching place for online celebrities, where many people line up to take pictures.

Standing on the main peak, you can have a panoramic view of the majestic mountains, and there is a feeling that "other mountains are dwarfed by the sky". Emerge spontaneously. Looking at the Central Plains in the north and Jingchu in the south, we have achieved the goal of "one foot in two provinces and two eyes looking at the king". It is said that Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, once collected herbs in this mountain.

The environment in the scenic spot is quiet, waterfalls are flowing, and strange pines and rocks are in various shapes. There are 108 waterfalls and 25 peaks over 1,000 meters. The main peak of Tiantangzhai is more than 65,438+0,700 meters above sea level, which is one of the famous peaks in Dabie Mountain. In ancient times, it was called "the first pass in the southeast of Wu Chu".

Tiantangzhai is known as the last virgin forest in East China because of its unique geographical location, with a forest coverage rate of 96.5% and a high content of negative oxygen ions.

It is often said that Qian Shan always loves Qian Shan, and Tiantangzhai is most proud of its stunning water ecological landscape, and Qian Shan always relies on Qian Shan.

The most touching thing about going to Tiantangzhai Scenic Area is the waterfalls that exude flowers. In the deep canyon, there are five perennial waterfalls: Yingong Waterfall, Lady Waterfall, Xieyu Waterfall, Lover Waterfall and Jiuying Waterfall.

The biggest reason why waterfalls are famous is their large scale and spectacular scenes. These waterfalls are all between 950m and1300m above sea level, and the falls vary from 30m to 80m. Being in it is like the water of the gods, and the spectacular degree can be seen.

Coming down from Tiantangzhai, we saw rows of plank roads on the cliff. This is the plank road of Baima Peak, which starts from the bottom of Baima Grand Canyon and ends at the Moon Cliff of Baima Peak, with a total length of 4 kilometers. Most of the plank roads stand on cliffs with a slope of more than 75 degrees, which is an excellent place to conquer nature.

The plank road has a total length of 3366 meters and a height difference of nearly 800 meters. It is built on a mountain and paved with special boards. No matter the line length, relative height difference or mountain steepness, it is unique in East China.

Have the opportunity to invite friends to climb mountains together. Walking, chatting and enjoying with friends in the Woods is a rare opportunity to relax.

Lu' an xichagu

Speaking of Lu 'an specialty, I have to say that Lu 'an melon chips have not been tested in ancient times, and melon chips have been the most famous since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Lu 'an melon chips, especially Qishan melon chips produced in Batong area of Jinzhai County, have the best quality and are one of the famous green tea varieties in China.

Youfangdian Township, Jinzhai County, Lu 'an City, Anhui Province, deep in Dabie Mountain is the core of Lu 'an Tea Valley Theme Park. Layers of tea gardens and the surrounding lakes and mountains form a natural picture.

At noon, I set out from Tiantangzhai to visit the demonstration base of Lu 'an specialty melons in Xicha Valley. Drinking it can make people feel refreshed, which shows the excellent quality of Lu 'an melons. Many people who love tea will also come here.

Here, the tea is fragrant and the scenery is beautiful. Tea trees are planted on hills, and each hill is covered with a layer of tea tree steps. From a distance, it is green, just like swimming in a green ocean. Layers of tea gardens surround a lake with excellent scenery.

Standing at the highest point of the tea garden, you can greedily suck the unique fragrance of the tea sea in the sun and take photos in this beautiful tea garden as a souvenir.

Now many tea farmers are picking tea, picking tea by hand and frying tea. It must be delicious!

At first glance, the undulating hillside is covered with green tea trees, a breeze blows, and the fresh air is mixed with the fragrance of soil and tea, which makes people who have lived in the city feel refreshed at once.

postscript

Travel is an attitude towards life. I prefer cultural relics, natural scenery and traditional food. I go to different cities to enjoy different cultures and delicious food.

The four-day and three-night trip to Lu 'an, Anhui has come to an end. The end of one stop is the beginning of the next. Four days is not long, which makes me enjoy the amazing scenery and make new friends. Four days is not short, let me remember that there is such a beautiful place in Lu 'an, Anhui.

I hope we can meet by chance on our next trip!
