M49***48🌿Xianyu Mountain in summer is like the Wizard of Oz at 22°C. Amidst the misty clouds, the colorful Jade Valley gurgles in a cool breeze, and the ancient Hui Road, with its mottled and secluded paths, offers a tranquil escape. In the selenium-rich village, breathe in the negative oxygen ions, and scooping water from the stream feels like touching the mountain's spiritual pulse. Why travel to Penglai to escape the summer heat? Here, the heat is forgotten, leaving only the soothing tranquility of a sea of clouds.

74.1/5M43***18Jiuhua Tianchi, as a national 4A-level scenic spot in Chizhou City, Anhui Province, combines natural wonders with cultural characteristics. The following comprehensive comments are for reference: Natural landscape highlights High mountains and lakes and waterfalls The water of Tianchi Lake is clear and green, reflecting the mountains like a painting. The waterfall is still spectacular during the dry season. The artistic conception of "the sky river hangs green water" in Li Bai's writing can be seen here 12. The stone valleys and drifting gravels formed by the glacial landforms, combined with the undercurrents of the stream, form a unique canyon wonder 13. Recommended check-in points : Xixin Pool (meaning "heart without dust"), Tianchi Waterfall, Glacier Valley (traveling through the boulder valley is exciting and the scenery is excellent) 14. Ecological and summer resort advantages The scenic area is densely green, with vines entwined with strange rocks. It is a summer resort in summer. The gurgling stream and the breeze on the plank road create a cool experience 23. Glass drifting (total length 1580 meters) through the canyon is suitable for tourists who seek excitement 3. Humanities and special experiences Dwarf tribe: There is a tribe of dwarfs inhabited by descendants of the Yue people on Panlong Island deep in Tianchi Lake.

Transportation and surrounding areas It is 15 kilometers away from Chizhou City and 25 kilometers away from Jiuhua Mountain, which is suitable for joint travel with Huangshan area23. Different reviews from tourists Recommended: Praise its pristine ecology of "Alishan in Jiangnan", and call glass drifting and glacier maze "must-do"34. Cautious: Think that the dwarf tribe and boat trips are of limited interest, and suggest simplifying the itinerary4. Summary: Jiuhua Tianchi is suitable for tourists who prefer natural landscapes and light adventures, especially in summer.
