[2025 Hefei Attraction] Travel Guide for Qingfeng Pavilion (Updated Mar)

As a "new local" who's lived in Hefei for ten years, I visit Bao Park at least ten times every March! This guide helps you avoid the crowds, capture cinematic photos, and experience a thousand years of culture + spring scenery for the price of a milk tea. 🏯Top 3 Hidden Gems｜90% of Tourists Don't Know These 1️⃣ Capture Ancient-Style Photos at the Floating Village Don't just stand by the lake! Cross the Nine-Turn Bridge and head straight to the waterside corridor. The 4 pm sunlight filters through the carved window lattices, creating the perfect backdrop for silhouette photos in Hanfu. Secret tip: there's a stone bench under the weeping crabapple tree in the corner. Wait for the petals to fall and capture the moment – your hair will look ethereal. 2️⃣ The Story Behind the Steps at Bao Zheng's Tomb Count the steps adorned with 24 Filial Piety carvings as you ascend. On the 7th step, you'll encounter super cute stone lions. Parents with kids can play a "spot the difference" game – there are 3 modern Easter eggs hidden within the stone carvings on both sides. 3️⃣ Enjoy the Breeze from the Top Floor of Qingfeng Pavilion Take the elevator straight to the top-floor observation deck! Overcast days are surprisingly great for photos, with Baohe Lake resembling an emerald necklace encircling the city. Hold your phone close to the glass window and capture a time-lapse of the moving clouds – it's breathtaking. 🌸Limited-Time March Scenery｜Miss It, Wait a Year ✅ Shower of Crabapple Blossoms (West Side of Floating Village) At the end of March, pink petals blanket the bluestone path. Be warned, wearing white shoes will result in stains! Light-colored canvas shoes are recommended. Arrive before 9 am to have the entire path to yourself. ✅ Jade Magnolia Snow (In Front of Bao Zheng's Shrine) The white magnolias bloom even more profusely than cherry blossoms! Bring a picnic blanket and spread it under the trees. Shooting upwards allows you to capture both the eaves and the branches, creating a perfect ancient vibe. ✅ Orioles Singing in the Willows (Along Baohe Lake) New willow branches droop towards the water. Rent a pedal boat (40 yuan/hour) and glide under the bridges. You might even encounter egrets catching fish. 📸Photography Tips｜Instant Masterpieces with Your Phone 1️⃣ Qingfeng Pavilion Silhouette: Stand at the east corner of the pavilion with your back to the setting sun, and pose with your hands raised as if holding a pagoda. 2️⃣ Bao Zheng's Shrine Window Frame Composition: Shoot from inside outwards, using the wooden window as a foreground to frame the magnolias. 3️⃣ Floating Village Reflection: Crouch at the third bend of the Nine-Turn Bridge, hold your phone upside down close to the water, and capture a symmetrical reflection. 💡Equipment Recommendation: Bring a flexible tripod! Many scenes are perfect for low-angle shots that selfie sticks can't achieve. 🍜Nearby Food & Fun｜5-Minute Walk 1️⃣ Luzhou Roast Duck Restaurant (Wuhu Road Branch) Must-try: Duck Oil Shaobing! The freshly baked, flaky crust crumbles with each bite. Pair it with red bean paste for a sweet and savory delight. 2️⃣ Lao Wu Beef Soup (Ningguo Road) Add a freshly baked, flaky pancake to your soup. Enjoy a filling meal for 20 yuan. 3️⃣ Kawanka New Products (Bao Park Subway Station) The gardenia, green grape, and coconut ice drink is refreshing and palate-cleansing. It also makes a great photo prop. 🚶♂️Lazy Day Itinerary｜Half-Day Highlights 14:00 Enter through the South Gate → Photograph flowers at Floating Village (1h) 15:30 Count the steps at Bao Zheng's Tomb (30min) 16:20 Panoramic views from Qingfeng Pavilion (40min) 17:00 Sunset photos at Nine Lions Bridge (20min) 17:30 Food exploration on Ningguo Road ⚠️Hard-Learned Lessons｜Hopefully, These Will Save You 1️⃣ Don't wear high heels! The uneven bluestone paths are prone to causing twisted ankles. 2️⃣ Bring cash! The boat rental deposit is cash only. 3️⃣ Buy your stamp book in advance! The post office closes at 4:30 pm. 4️⃣ Grab a tour guide early on weekends! The 9 am and 2 pm tours are the most popular. 5️⃣ No kites allowed! The security guards have eyes sharper than Bao Zheng's. 🌟In Conclusion: When you're showered by crabapple blossoms at the Floating Village, overlooking the city skyline from Qingfeng Pavilion, and biting into a hot duck oil shaobing on Ningguo Road – that's the right way to experience a thousand years of history in March!

"A gentle breeze comes forth, the water waves stay calm." Looking back on the life of Bao Zheng, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was resolute in court, never currying favor with the powerful, impartial as iron. Now, passing through the hustle and bustle of Hefei's old city and entering Bao Park, Qingfeng Pavilion stands as if isolated from the world, surrounded by the gentle Bao River and sheltered by pink lotuses and green trees, where the noise of the outside world becomes tranquil.
