In 1925, when he was learning carpentry in his hometown, he was influenced by the Huangan Working Group of the Communist Party of China and began to devote himself to the revolution. In the autumn of 1927, Li Xiannian led the peasants of his hometown to participate in the famous Huangma Uprising and joined the Communist Party of China. During the war years, Li Xiannian has been engaged in military struggle and is an outstanding general of the people's army led by the Communist Party of China.

The exhibited artifacts were quite good; I've also been to joint exhibitions organized by museums like the Hunan Provincial Museum. The Kremlin artifacts here are well-prepared and thoughtfully designed. However, the souvenir and merchandise section was rather boring. I was thinking of buying a pendant or something, but that saved me some money.

The scenic area is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms. From the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Yangtze River Bridge and the Yellow Crane Tower. At the very top, watching the ships on the Yangtze and the cars and trains on the bridge, with the breeze blowing, is very pleasant, and it's not too crowded. The scenic area isn't large; a leisurely hour is about right to appreciate the scenery. Qingchuan Pavilion and Guishan Scenic Area are directly connected by the Iron Gate Pass, which leads to the West Gate of Guishan. Climbing the mountain and enjoying the breeze and osmanthus fragrance is a wonderful experience.

Sanhe Ancient Town is a free ancient town near Hefei that's well worth visiting. With its charming canals, ancient streets, and alleys, it exudes a captivating atmosphere. You can stroll along the cobblestone paths, visit historical residences, and sample local delicacies such as rice dumplings, rice wine, and dried tea. It's not overly commercialized, making for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Overall, it offers great value for money and is perfect for a short trip to experience the charm of a Jianghuai water town.

The south entrance of Hankou River Beach is very close to Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street. It's a free attraction with excellent greenery, walkways, plenty of benches and trees, and a pleasant environment. You can see ships coming and going on the Yangtze River, and across the river, the skyscrapers of Wuchang stand tall. You can also see the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the Second Yangtze River Bridge, which integrate urban living, green spaces, and exercise facilities. Enjoying the river breeze is very pleasant.

Compared to the crowds at Tingtao Pear Garden during holidays, Luoyan Scenic Area is much quieter. There are no tour groups bringing people here, so it's a good place to stroll around East Lake and enjoy the scenery.

The new Anhui Provincial Museum features a Hui-style "four waters returning to the hall" design, exuding grandeur and tranquility. Admission is free, but remember to make a reservation in advance. The exhibition halls unfold along a historical timeline, from the Lingjiatan Jade Pig and the Zhuke Ding (a large bronze vessel), to the Wu King Guangjian (a bronze mirror) and Hui-style brick carvings, each artifact connecting five thousand years of civilization in the Jianghuai region. The Chu Ding (a large bronze vessel) is particularly impressive. The guide, Liu Ruya, provides a patient and humorous explanation, enhancing the visit.
