The Most Beautiful Ningguo Section of the Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Route is a self-drive scenic route that traverses the mountainous areas of Ningguo, Anhui, and is also the eastern section of the entire Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Route. The S345 Beautiful Highway project is approx. 67 km long. The road enters the mountains from Qinglong Township, winding westward along valleys and ridges, connecting Chujiatan Beach, Dragon Beach, the Fangtang Redwood Forest, and the Banqiao Primitive Forest. The scenery along the route has its own unique features. Chujiatan Beach is a clear water bay in Qinglong Township, where lush forests and bamboo are reflected in the water, earning it the nickname Little Guilin of Southern Anhui. Dragon Beach is a reservoir lake surrounded by mountains, with a water area of 32.8 square kilometers and islands of various sizes scattered throughout. Traveling to Fangtang Township, over 2,000 mu of bald cypress trees are rooted in the water, growing into a water forest, which is what tourists often call the redwood forest. It is lush green in summer and turns red in late fall, with the viewing period from mid-November to early December. Further west, the Banqiao area is a primitive forest reserve covering 63 square kilometers, dense with bamboo forests and ancient trees, with a winding and undulating road surface. Tourists can take a self-drive tour through the mountainous scenic road, view the Fangtang Redwood Forest water forest, and visit Chujiatan Beach and Dragon Beach along the way. Farmhouses and homestays are distributed in the villages and towns along the route, providing places to rest and resupply.Xuancheng · 25.1km from Ningguo

West Lake is undoubtedly the epitome of Hangzhou's beauty. The famous "Ten Scenes of West Lake" surround the lake, where nature and culture complement each other, forming the core area of ​​Hangzhou tourism. You don't have to be obsessed with visiting every single attraction; instead, you can spend half a day or a whole day strolling along the lake. No matter how you enjoy yourself, it will leave you feeling relaxed and happy. West Lake Scenic Area is the core of Hangzhou's landscape, "surrounded by mountains on three sides and the city on one side." The Su Causeway and Bai Causeway stretch across the lake, dividing it into several smaller sections. The most famous scenic spots around the lake are the "Ten Scenes of West Lake" passed down from the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition to the later New Ten Scenes of West Lake and the Third Evaluation of the Ten Scenes of West Lake, hundreds of scenic spots are laid out along the lake shore and the surrounding mountains. Pavilions, temples, pagodas, gardens, causeways, islands, and distant mountains and nearby waters complement each other. Legends such as the Broken Bridge where Lady White Snake and Xu Xian met add a touch of history to the lake and mountains. The West Lake Scenic Area has more than 100 scenic spots, among which the "Ten Scenes of West Lake", the "New Ten Scenes of West Lake", and the "Three Appraisals of the Ten Scenes of West Lake" are famous. West Lake Overview You can explore West Lake on foot, by cruise, by electric cart, by car, or by cycling. Electric carts are convenient and energy-saving; there are shuttle buses that stop on demand, and the route circles the entire lake. cycling along the lake is romantic and leisurely, and there are many public bicycle rental points along the shore. If you want to take a boat tour, there are nearly 10 docks along the lake, offering various boats and routes. A recommended option is to take a boat to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon in the center of the lake, enjoying the scenery from the boat. Alternatively, you can hire a rowboat and have a boatman row you around the lake for a more flexible experience. Northern scenery The north bank of West Lake is home to many attractions. You can usually start from Broken Bridge in the northeast corner and stroll westward to Yue Fei Temple. You can walk along Bai Causeway to Gushan Island and see cultural attractions such as Xiling Seal Society, Zhejiang Provincial Museum, China Seal Museum, and Zhongshan Park - Fanghe Pavilion. You can also enjoy authentic West Lake Vinegar Fish at Lou Wai Lou Restaurant. After crossing Xiling Bridge to the island, Yue Fei Temple and Quyuan Fenghe are not far away. If it's a sunny summer day, I recommend taking a walk along Beishan Road. Find shade under the dense trees and admire the curves of the Broken Bridge and the swaying willows on the opposite Bai Causeway. There are several entrances along the way leading to Baoshi Mountain, where you can hike and enjoy the scenery. Descending the mountain will take you to Yue Fei Temple. There are many small shops offering food at Yue Fei Square. If you have the time and energy, you can also walk up Su Causeway from there for a panoramic view of West Lake. Southeast coast (Lakeside - Nanshan Road) Another area with a high concentration of attractions is the Hubin Road-Nanshan Road along the southeast shore. Hubin Road is located at the intersection of Hangzhou's urban area and the attraction, offering views of West Lake, docks for West Lake cruise, and the iconic musical fountain. The advantage of Hubin Road is that it provides quick access from the attraction to the city center's commercial districts, making it suitable for tourists with limited time. Heading south from Hubin Road along Nanshan Road, you can visit attractions such as Willow Waves Listening to Orioles, Long Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, Evening Bell at Nanping Hill, and Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor. The distances between these attractions are not far, making them easily accessible on foot. Sightseeing buses and public transportation are also readily available. You can allocate a day to visit several attractions according to your preferences. Leifeng Pagoda and Evening Bell at Nanping Hill are particularly worthwhile in the evening; listening to the bell at Jingci Temple and enjoying the panoramic night view of West Lake from Leifeng Pagoda are both fantastic experiences.China · Hangzhou

The Ningguo section of the "Sichuan-Tibet Highway" in southern Anhui combines the scenic beauty of Guilin in Guangxi, the wonder of the Stone Forest in Yunnan, and the ruggedness of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway (National Highway 318), making it a highly recommended self-driving route in East China. Winding through verdant mountains and clear waters, it connects numerous scenic spots, creating an immersive experience where "the car travels on the road, and the driver is immersed in a painting." In autumn and winter, the fir forests turn red, creating a stunning spectacle that complements the water features, and boat tours are available.

Five stars! The scenery is stunning. Although it's a bit monotonous and boring, there are few people, so you can enjoy the view all to yourself. The straw-cooked rice at the pier is also delicious. It's a great place to visit quietly without kids.

It's best to arrive early, before 8:00 or 8:30 am. After rain, there's mist on the mountaintops and water features. Arriving earlier will also create a beautiful misty effect on the water. The price isn't very reasonable; an electric boat ride costs 128 yuan per person.

Self-driving tour, as the most beautiful scenery on the Sichuan-Tibet line in southern Anhui, is worth a visit! The Fallen Feather Wetland Park in late autumn will brighten your eyes, and every place is a popular check-in spot for taking photos! The vast redwood forest gives people endless reverie; the red redwood trees by the lake give people passion and unrestrainedness; the reflection of the Metasequoia in the depths of the lake makes people reluctant to leave and hope that time will stop; the tourists relaxing by the lake make you feel the real joy of traveling! The walkway in the lake can be said to be a view as soon as you turn around, but I only regret that the camera is not G enough! Haha, the scenery is dazzling under the sun, which makes people excited and beautiful! Come on! This is a happy trip without regrets!

Arrived at Chujiatan, the first stop of the Sichuan-Tibet Line in southern Anhui, in the evening of 2022/10/29. There were very few people, probably because of the epidemic control. The scenery was beautiful. We camped here for one night, and there were many ✨ at night, but unfortunately the mobile phone could not take good pictures.

The scenery is highly seasonal. It is best around November 20 this year, and the 5 days before and after are the best period. It is best to avoid weekends because of severe traffic jams. The highlight is the bald redwood forest, which is very beautiful, but there is no beautiful scenery after the season.

The environment here is relatively primitive, and the Sky Mirror is nice! You can bring the elderly and children here to play. If there is enough rain, the waterfall will be more beautiful! There are famous hotels around, the food is delicious and the price is affordable. Suitable for self-driving tours.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.
