In the morning, go to Shitai, the most beautiful mountainous countryside with original ecology in China - a natural oxygen bar. In the morning, visit [Shitai Guniujiang Scenic Area] (touring time is about 3 hours). The Guniujiang Scenic Area in Shitai County, Anhui Province is a national comprehensive nature reserve mainly based on forest ecosystem approved by the State Council in 1988. It is called "green natural museum" by ecologists. In 2010, it was awarded as a national 4A-level scenic area. In 2019, it was selected as "Anhui summer resort destination". In 2021, it was selected as the first batch of forest health care bases in Anhui Province.



Guniujiang is the main body extending westward from the Huangshan Mountains. In ancient times, it was called "West Huangshan". Its main peak is 1,727.6 meters above sea level and is the third highest peak in southern Anhui Province. It is named Guniujiang because its mountain shape is very similar to a guniu (bull) falling from the sky. Guniujiang has a total area of 6,700 hectares. It has an ancient stratum, excellent climate, high mountains and dense forests, and is rarely visited by people. It preserves relatively complete natural forest vegetation and is one of the important typical areas of the evergreen broad-leaved forest belt in the middle subtropics in eastern China. Here, tourism resources are extremely rich, there are many kinds of living things, the floristic elements are complex, and the ecological relationship is coordinated. At the same time, there are dangerous peaks, deep valleys, strange pine trees, grotesque rocks, and clouds and flying waterfalls in the area. The natural landscape is very magnificent.……

The [Yan Family Ancient Village], descendants of the famous hermit Yan Ziling in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Here, ancient trees reach into the sky, the sound of pine waves is continuous, and streams flow. The residences and ancestral halls in Huizhou architectural style are hidden among them, presenting a scene of "Cloudy trees merge by the village, and people live in a painting." This natural pure land, within the simple folk customs, is permeated with the tranquility and purity that urban people are desperately seeking. There are well-preserved ancient residential buildings, ancient mills, ancient ancestral halls, Candle Peak, Lover's Valley, Fourfold Waterfall, etc. in the village. Later, through the items displayed in the [Shitai Red Culture Exhibition Hall] combined with picture and text introductions, vividly reproduce that eventful and smoky era, understand that exciting red history, and truly step into the well-known "hero village." Here, there is still a red slogan wall left by Fang Zhimin's transfer to Guniujiang during the northern expedition against Japanese aggression. Hiking in [Longmen Grand Canyon], the "Longmen Pool" with mythical colors is as green as jade. The canyon is deep, the ecological corridor is full of wild charm, strange rocks are everywhere, and ancient trees are like covers. There are Baizhang Rock, Rolling Stone Beach, Qixian Cave, Hidden Moon Pool, Longmen Flying Crossing, Bell and Drum Stone, Jasper Pool, and Small Great Wall in the south. It is truly a "silent poem and three-dimensional painting" created by nature.

In the afternoon, go to [West Huangshan Rafting] for the whole rafting journey of about 3 kilometers. The scenic spot is located in Yanxi Village, Dayan Township, Shitai County. It is a bright spot at the intersection of Guniu Descent Scenic Area and Xianfu Mountain Scenic Area. It is 15 kilometers away from the county seat and is located in the upper reaches of the Qiupu River. On both sides of the river, the peaks are steep and the water surface is shimmering, and tourists can take rubber boats to welcome the waves in the peaks and valleys, which is thrilling and exciting; they can wash their hands and feet in the Qingyu River, leisurely and leisurely; they can go ashore to watch the rural field scenery, lyrical and no



Here, green mountains are piled up in layers, the scenery is charming, vegetation is lush, and the scenery is pleasant. Traveling by raft, you can enjoy many beautiful sceneries such as green mountains and clear waters, farmhouse pastures, ancient trees and tea mountains along the way, and can truly feel the artistic conception of "thinking there is no way out in the mountains, yet another village appears amid the shady willows and bright flowers". The Qiupu River is named because "the stream is clear and blue, as long as autumn". Due to the steep peaks on both banks along the river and the shimmering water surface, "the scenery in four seasons is just like that of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers and Dongting Lake" (Records of the Unified Ming Dynasty). It has always fascinated many literati and refined scholars, and there are many chants and praises.

The next morning, go to [Xianyu Mountain Scenic Area] China's first selenium-enriched village, 4A-level scenic spot.

Later, visit the ancient Huizhou path that is thousands of years old, the Jugenling ancient Huizhou path. It is about 7.5 kilometers in length and is all paved with bluestone slabs. The earliest record can be traced back to the fourth year of Zhonghe in the Tang Dynasty, with a history of about 2000 years. It is known as the "Huizhou-Raozhou thoroughfare". The "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" calls it the "Huizhou-Raozhou thoroughfare". Due to its steep terrain, it has been a place contested by military strategists since ancient times. Many large-scale battles have occurred here. The most talked-about are the several major battles between Zeng Guofan and the Taiping Army during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period. The famous allusion of "repeated defeats and repeated battles" in "Zeng Guofan's Family Letters" happened here.

After the trip, we will drive back to our warm home to end the pleasant journey!
