New ways to have fun in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai area during the May Day holiday!

New ways to have fun in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai area during the May Day holiday! For about CNY 300 per person, travel back in time to the "Copper Coin Ancient Town." I'd call it the best place to be during the holiday💥 Sisters! I've discovered a "time-traveling town" that the locals in Anhui have been secretly keeping to themselves🚀 Use copper coins as currency, take a flying elevator up the mountain, soak in a private hot spring... It's only a 2-hour drive from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. Come here during the May Day holiday to avoid the crowds and take amazing photos!✨ 🌟[Immersive Travel Guide] 💰Copper coins are the standard currency! ✅ The first step is to get money: Exchange "Yongquan Tongbao" at the money exchange at the entrance of the ancient town 💴 💰 1 copper coin = CNY 3. I recommend exchanging 20 coins first (for the best experience without wasting money). 💡 Hidden feature: Participate in parades/games to win extra copper coins. I earned 5 coins by playing ring toss!🤩 🕒[Full-Day Itinerary] Have fun from morning to night! ⏰ 13:30 Retro parade brings back memories ▫️ A guard of honor in military uniform and a team of vintage bicycle riders pass by along the street🚲 ▫️ The "Supply and Marketing Cooperative" on the roadside sells orange soda, and an old woman gave me a piece of hard candy🍬 💥 Surprise: The parade team will randomly hand out "lucky candy boxes." You can spend the copper coins you get directly!🎉 ⏰ 15:00–21:00 Nine must-try experiences 1. Tofu Workshop: Grind soy milk by hand. It's super relaxing, and you can drink it directly after making it🥛 2. Free Popcorn Magic: An old man turns an iron pot on the spot, and with a "bang," you get a bag of crispy, sweet popcorn🍿 3. Nostalgic Game Hall: Play pinball machines for an afternoon with 2 copper coins, and win stickers to exchange for keychains🎮 4. Wild Cooking with a Wood Stove: Rent a clay stove to cook salted meat pickled by grandma. The smoke is very evocative🔥 5. Flying Elevator Up the Mountain: A suspended elevator takes you directly to the top of the mountain, with a stunning view of the bamboo forest🌿 6. Check in at the Twelve Views of Jiangnan: Every bridge and every tree looks like an ink painting. Hanfu enthusiasts must come📸 7. Jiubao Hot Spring Private Bath: After playing, soak in a rose/mugwort pool. Soaking in the hot spring under the stars is so chill♨️ 8. Yongquan Stage Live: Huangmei Opera/acrobatics are performed in turn, which are more exciting than short videos🎭 9. Bonfire Party: Dance the bunny dance around the bonfire. Strangers can also have fun together🔥 🍽️[A Taste of the 80s] You can eat until you're full for about CNY 30 per person! ✔️ Hand-ground soy milk with rice noodle cakes: The freshly ground soy milk is so rich that it sticks to your mouth, and the rice cakes are amazing when dipped in brown sugar🥞 ✔️ Old Chicken Soup with Clay Stove: The stewed soup is golden, and it's so warm to drink three bowls in a row🐔 ✔️ Pig-Killing Soup with Rice: Spicy pig blood soup with crispy pot rice (you can choose the spiciness) ✔️ Night Market Limited: Exchange 2 copper coins for a string of sugar paintings, which are 10 times more exquisite than those sold in scenic spots!🍭 🚗[Nanny-Level Transportation Guide] 🚄 High-speed rail: Get off at Tongling North Station → Take a taxi for 15 minutes (about CNY 30). The hotel has a free shuttle bus to pick you up from the station! 🚗 Self-driving: Navigate to the West Gate of Yongquan Tourist Resort. The parking lot is huge! No traffic jams during the May Day holiday✅ 🏨 Highly recommended accommodation: Hot Spring Resort Hotel ▫️ The rooms have private hot springs, so you can soak directly after playing without queuing♨️ ▫️ The butler helps with luggage and delivers late-night refreshments. The service is comparable to a five-star hotel✨ ▫️ Open the window in the morning to see the mountain mist, like living in a fairyland🌄 💡[May Day Special Event Spoilers] ⚠️ Extra shows every day from April 29 to May 3: ✅ Hanfu Parade Flash Mob: You may encounter young ladies wearing Ming-style horse-face skirts, and you can take photos with them for free! ✅ Starry Sky E-sports Competition: Play Honor of Kings/Peacekeeper Elite on an open-air big screen, and win copper coins to exchange for skins🎮 ✅ Limited Fireworks Show: Take off on time at 20:30. Who understands watching fireworks in the hot spring pool!🎆 📌 Final reminder: ✔️ Wear light-colored clothes for great photos, and bring a pair of comfortable shoes (you have to climb mountains!) ✔️ If you don't spend all your copper coins, you can exchange them back for cash at the money exchange. Don't keep them as souvenirs~ ✔️ Book a room 3 days in advance! Rooms are very tight during the May Day holiday. If you're late, you can only stay in the next county... This May Day holiday, say no to crowds! Come to Yongquan Town and be an "ancient rich idler" for a day. Your social media content will directly overwhelm your besties👯‍♀️ 👉🏻 Location has been marked, click to save, and go for it!🚀 🌈Follow me and I'll take you to unlock more secret ways to have fun!
