It's not Wuyuan, Jiangxi. The rape flowers here are also full of charm, accompanied by Huizhou architecture with white walls and tiles. It's not Luoping, Yunnan. The best viewing period of rape flowers here is also in March. You don't need to travel all the way, you can play all over the weekend. This is Huang Shan she County. The following is the recommendation that I brought you the most beautiful rape flower viewing place in Anhui in March. I hope you like it!

Rape blossoms

The most grounded flower viewing tour in spring

Xin 'anjiang Landscape Gallery-People in Traveling in a pictorial world

Xin 'anjiang, known as the "Oriental Danube", connects Qiandao Lake and Huangshan Mountain. It used to be a golden passage for Huizhou merchants, witnessing the rise and prosperity of a generation of Huizhou merchants. Xin 'anjiang, which has shed its historical cloak, has beautiful atmosphere of mountains and lakes, as well as ink and wash customs of Huizhou architecture. If you are boating on the river, facing the breeze, you can see the Huizhou houses on both sides of the river embedded in the mountains, see the overwhelming yellow of rape fields decorated with Huizhou buildings, see the red mountains dotted with green mountains and green waters, and see the beautiful scenery on the shore reflected in the water, so you can't tell the truth from the falsehood. Only when a wave breaks this calm water surface can you know the truth. It turns out that people are like this in Traveling in a pictorial world.

Tip: You need to take a cruise at Shendu Port. Tickets and boat tickets are 148 yuan, which can be cheaper by booking through the accommodation boss, ranging from 11 to 21 yuan.

Shitan Village-A touch of yellow in the sea of clouds dotted with brilliant mountain flowers

Although it is a small village, it is the first of the top 111 photography spots in Huangshan. Small bridges and flowing water, white walls and tiles, are ink and wash Jiangnan, and the bright rape fields reflect each other.

Tip: A sunny morning the next day after rain is the best time to see the sea of clouds. If you live in the village, it is recommended to bring more clothes, because it is cooler in the mountains at night.

Xiatai Village-Climb high and hike in the rape field

It's not far from Shitan Village. If you have enough time, you can arrange hiking with Shitan Village on the same route. Rape flowers grow on the mountain, walking on winding paths, but actually walking through rape fields. When the green hills, which are common in mountain climbing, turn into endless rape blossoms, climbing is no longer torture. Looking down, I found that the streams in the village are winding like Hada, and the village is far away and small.

Huizhou architecture

The ink painting meaning under the white wall and the head wall of Daiwa

Huizhou ancient city-a perfect replica of Huizhou style

There are Huizhou government offices here to take you back to the old official society; There are pavilions and pavilions here, and climbing the stairs can be like a poet enjoying the scenery; There are exquisite archways here, and exquisite carving reflects the exquisite stone carving technology in Huizhou; There are old streets and alleys here, and every deep house compound represents a period of history. The essence of Huizhou architecture may be caught here.

Baojia Garden-a private garden of Huizhou style with the same name as Humble Administrator's Garden

Baojia Garden was a private garden of Huizhou merchants in the old days, and now it has become the hometown of Huizhou merchants with the theme of Huizhou bonsai, and even known as the "mother of oriental gardens" because of its large number, beautiful shape and rich variety. Under the typical Huizhou style of white wall and Daiwa horse head wall, it is integrated with Jiangnan gardens, which also reflects that Huizhou merchants actually pay great attention to the elegance of houses.

Local villages

There is an authentic village life without Huizhou architecture

Yang-made earth buildings-well-preserved rammed earth buildings

Yang-made earth buildings are built by local villagers, paved with bluestone, and nested in red soil. The earth buildings are closely connected, with high and low levels, one after another, and a large number of them are made into earth buildings. Walking on the stone path of the village can get a close-up feeling of the' primitive' earth building, and standing at the commanding heights can take a spectacular panoramic view of the earth building. If you are lucky, you can watch the sea of clouds when you get up early, and the tulou at this time is more like a fairyland on earth.

tip: if you don't drive by car, you can ask the accommodation boss to help you contact the master to charter a car to 81 yuan for a round trip. (price in July, 2116)

Changxi Ancient Village-Shenan No.1 Village

A historical and cultural ancient village in Shexian County is also a typical southern Anhui village, about 7 kilometers away from Shendu Town. Ancient buildings, ancestral halls, memorial archways and cemeteries as far away as the Yuan Dynasty are preserved here, with profound historical background; There are thousands of ancient camphor trees and ginkgo trees here, which protect the village while enjoying the cool for future generations; There are mountains around here, and tributaries of Xin 'anjiang River pass through, breathing fresh air and listening to birds and flowers.

authentic food

let taste buds feel the local food culture

hairy tofu-tofu covered with "silk quilt"

By artificial fermentation, a layer of white fluff grows on the surface of tofu. From a distance, it looks like a layer of silk quilt and cotton candy. After fermentation, plant protein is converted into a variety of amino acids, so it tastes delicious after cooking. The finished hairy tofu can be fried and braised in brown sauce, with a variety of seasonings, and finally it is more delicious with pepper. Besides being a delicacy on the table, hairy tofu is also a popular snack, which you can try when you go to Huizhou.

stinky mandarin fish-smells bad and tastes delicious

Although it is called stinky mandarin fish, it is actually not smelly. This smell is the smell of Huizhou local dialect, and the meaning of Putonghua is actually pickled fresh. Fresh mandarin fish is pickled with salt water at room temperature of 25 degrees, and after being pressed with mountain stones or pebbles for six or seven days, it gives off a smelly smell. Then pan-fry, mix with pork slices and bamboo shoots and braise until the soup is concentrated. Because it retains the original taste of mandarin fish, the meat is tender and refreshing, and it drools just by talking about it.
