Tell me about this trip.

Speaking of the city of Lu 'an, Anhui, I knew for the first time that I was called "Lu 'an" before I came, so that I was laughed at by my friends for a long time. Its actual pronunciation is "Lu 'an". I like this city very much. There are four national scenic spots: Baimajian in Dabie Mountain, Wanfo Lake in 5A scenic spot, Yanzihe Grand Canyon in 4A scenic spot, Tiantangzhai in 5A scenic spot, and the first pot of Wanfo Lake, melon slices in Lu 'an, Dendrobium huoshanense, hanging pot food and so on, all of which make me have a good impression on Lu 'an.

This time, I will walk into Lu 'an with my friends and show you the beauty and food of Lu 'an.

Lu' an special food

Traveling abroad, for some people who just want to experience the local customs and visit the scenic spots, special food is not necessarily necessary; But for some foodies like me, food is essential. When you travel to a place, you are sure to eat the most famous things there. Personally, I think these things must be eaten, otherwise it will be like going to this place for nothing.

I heard about it from people around me a long time ago, but I didn't eat it because I didn't have a chance. Now that I finally have a chance, I won't miss any delicious food.

Wan Di Yi fish pot

Fish head in Wanfo Lake casserole is a special food in Shucheng County, Lu 'an City. "Wanfo Lake Casserole Fish Head" is made from the authentic bighead of Wanfo Lake, with pure lake water and unique seasoning, and stewed with slow fire. It is delicious, unique in taste, fresh but not fishy, fat but not greasy, juicy and tender, high in protein and low in fat, and rich in essential trace elements such as potassium, sodium, iron, phosphorus and selenium.

This fish head pot is different from what I thought. As delicious as spicy hot pot. Not just a fish soup pot. It's really worth driving all the way to eat a pot of fish head.

Tiantangzhai diaoguo

Generally speaking, what you must not miss in Lu 'an is a special hanging pot banquet, especially in Tiantangzhai, which is the most authentic. The iron pot is hung from the ceiling with a chain connected by wooden hooks, and a fire is made below. The pot is hot, put the ingredients in the iron pot. Some places are chicken and some places are fish soup. We had a pot of fish soup.

Charcoal under the iron pot not only makes the soup in the pot more delicious, but also warms the whole house, which is most suitable for eating in cold weather.

Hanging pots in Tiantangzhai, eating hanging pots means eating "earth", eating "taste", enjoying food, wine and feeling. Before hanging the pot, the aroma was overflowing, and the middle was dotted with green chopped green onion, which immediately aroused people's appetite.

Jiu xian Zun Shi Hu base

Walking into Lu 'an, our group came to Jiuxian Zun Dendrobium Base and felt the magical charm of Cao Xian.

We first came to the inoculation workshop and watched the technicians cultivate Dendrobium. In the soilless culture base, Dendrobium seedlings raised in glass bottles are lush and grow gratifying. I can't help but admire the advanced technology now.

In the non-legacy exhibition center, workers show the production process of Dendrobium. This herb can be created through a series of complicated processes, such as rolling, drying, cleaning, frying, sorting and defoliating.

In Baiyao Garden, I saw different kinds of Dendrobium in full bloom. Dendrobium flower can nourish yin, moisten lung, nourish stomach, promote fluid production, improve eyesight and clear away heat, enhance immunity, and resist aging, and has certain curative effects on respiratory diseases, chronic hepatitis, chronic gastritis and other diseases.

First, I listened to the introduction of Dendrobium by the staff. It turns out that this small Dendrobium huoshanense is known as the first of the "Nine Immortals of China", which has magical effects such as nourishing the brain, nourishing the heart and reducing fire.

Go to the museum to see all kinds of fairy grass introductions, from wild provenance protection, seedling raising, wild cultivation, product research and development to cultural experience. Another cup of freshly brewed tea, it's delicious!

the great rift valley in west anhui

Today, I'm going to the West Anhui Rift Valley. It's only a walking distance from the hotel to the Rift Valley, which will save a lot of time. I have regained my strength after a night's rest. In the morning, I packed my bags with my friends, and then began to challenge the West Anhui Rift Valley on foot.

The geological development of the West Anhui Rift Valley was about 65.438+0.6 billion years ago, which is a geological wonder integrating canyon landform and cave landscape. The rift valley is about 1500m long, only a few tens of centimeters at its narrowest point and more than 10m high. The canyon can reach nearly 100 meters from the bottom to the top.

The mountains in Dabie Mountain are steep and rugged, and the mountains here in the West Anhui Rift Valley concentrate on the precipitousness of Dabie Mountain. It has been in the original state and has not been overexploited. The original vegetation is rich and diverse, the vegetation protection is good, and the ecological environment between the whole valley is excellent. Walking between canyons is like being in the natural oxygen bar of nature, and the air is fresh and pleasant.

The West Anhui Rift Valley was formed by the long-term erosion of flowing water along the fault structure, and the karst caves on the west side were also formed by the selective dissolution of flowing water along the weak parts of the rock structure, which is a rare wonder of mountain cracks in China. Mountains, forests, springs, caves, waterfalls, lakes, ponds, gorges, pits and crevices are all available, and each step is a unique natural landscape.

The majestic mountains of Dabie Mountain meander here, splitting in two and running in opposite directions, forming a long and narrow V-shaped rift. Standing at the bottom of the valley and looking up at the sky only half an inch; Climb to the top of the valley and look back. It is bottomless.

In the Rift Valley of East Africa, this is a natural adventure. There is no road here, even on sunny days, it is difficult to walk here. It is rainy season all year round between canyons. In the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, you have to put on boards and pull chains in the gaps to walk between the canyons, and the narrowest place can only be passed by one person.

Crossing the West Anhui Rift Valley, you will appreciate the wonders of nature, and you have to marvel at its wonders. The whole East African Rift Valley, thousands of caves, and narrower and narrower canyons are all breathtaking. This should not be China's version of the "Great Rift Valley in East Africa", but the only unmanned "Great Rift Valley in West Anhui" in the world.

It takes about an hour and a half to climb from the canyon to the top of the mountain. There is a glass slide on the top of the mountain to experience. In order to save time, we take the slide down the mountain, which only takes 1 more minutes. After coming out of the Grand Canyon in western Anhui, we went to our next destination-September Villa.

September mountain villa

Drive from the Grand Canyon in western Anhui to September Mountain Villa, which is a rural tourism demonstration base integrating characteristic ecological planting, interesting sightseeing and picking, outdoor sports base, local flavor agricultural products, health care, vacation and leisure.

Walking in the villa, you can see red propaganda slogans everywhere, where you can inherit the red genes, innovate the characteristic experience and participate in the little Red Army sitcom.

There is a good characteristic experience here: traditional hand-cranked stone mill, making ecological delicious tofu. Experience the folk culture and use traditional stone mortar to make delicious food-Ciba.

There is also a snack street-Qian Dian Houfang, which is made by retro method, with no additives and leisure features. Buy some special snacks here, which are absolutely handmade and pollution-free.

Eat and drink, and experience the online celebrity swing bridge, go-kart club, horse riding field and live CS field camp. ......

During the epidemic, we couldn't travel far, so we came to the leisure villa in September to eat farm food and play outward bound training.

Dabieshan Grottoes

September villa didn't take up too much time, just enough time to go to Dabie Mountain Grottoes.

I have been to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi and Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, and I have felt their ingenuity. But do you know that in the vast land of China, there are natural grottoes that have not been dug? That kind of geological wonder can only form a natural force after tens of millions or even billions of years of weathering and stripping.

Dabie Mountain Grottoes, located in Lu 'an City, Anhui Province, are natural caves excavated in Jurassic period 65.438+600 million years ago, caves with individual temperament and geological wonders. If the four grottoes in China are masterpieces of ancient artists, then the Dabie Mountain Grottoes are masterpieces of nature.

The Dabie Mountain Grottoes and the three China Grottoes have the same characteristics-they all have a strong Buddhist color. However, the Dabie Mountain Grottoes are different from them. The Dabie Mountain Grottoes don't carve Buddha statues in the grottoes, only a temple is hidden in the Dabie Mountain. Go deep into the mountains, listen to Sanskrit and purify your mind.

Dabie Mountain Grottoes Scenic Area has written a strong stroke in history. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was an unprecedented peasant war in the history of China and the world, in which a branch of Hong Xiuquan's family camped in the Dabie Mountain Grottoes, which was called "Hong Shanzhai" by the local people and became the witness of history.

As soon as we step into the Dabie Mountain Grottoes Scenic Area, the surface of a mountain in the distance can be seen everywhere. This is a natural cave group-"Dabie Mountain Grottoes", which was formed by water erosion, weathering, denudation and gravity collapse of rocks and minerals for 65,438+600 million years.

Stepping on the stairs, the mountain in front of you is like a torn mouth, devouring the scenery in front of you. Just like a lion who just woke up, he opened his mouth and wolfed down the food in his trap. Located halfway up the mountain, this huge cave formed by a huge rock gap is called Kaiyan, the largest cave in western Anhui.

There are countless grottoes in Dabie Mountain Grottoes Scenic Area. The smallest grottoes can only accommodate one child bending over, while the largest can accommodate thousands of people at the same time-Kaiyan. At that time, a branch of Hong Xiuquan family in the Kingdom of Tian Ping took a fancy to the concealment of this open rock, and the temperature in the cave was suitable. There is a waterfall hanging down at the mouth of the cave, which can provide water, so I decided to camp here.

We didn't spend much time in Dabie Mountain Grottoes, so we simply played and hurried to Wanfo Lake.

Qiandao Lake in Anhui-Wanfo Lake

It is always good to go out for a walk. Travel has many advantages, perhaps to relax and relieve stress, or to see the bigger world and increase knowledge, or just to enjoy the beautiful scenery and eat delicious food. As we all know, there are many famous mountains in Anhui, among which Huangshan Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain are the most famous, but there are not many famous lakes in Anhui. The most famous is Wanfo Lake in Lu 'an City. Today I came to Wanfo Lake.

Wanfo Lake Scenic Area, formerly known as Longhekou Reservoir, belongs to the national 5A-level water conservancy scenic area and is a lake-type sightseeing scenic spot centered on Wanfo Lake. Known as "Qiandao Lake in Anhui", it is also known as "Beidaihe in Anhui, the back garden of Hefei".

Wanfo Lake is a large artificial lake, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with rough waves and wide water surface. There are green islands, gull islands and boats floating in the winding harbor.

Wanfo Lake has a wide water surface, surrounded by mountains, and is clear and sparkling. There are many small islands in the lake, such as Yanzi Island, Furong Island, Zangxian Island and Wanfo Island, which can be visited. The air on the island is fresh, the trees are lush and the scenery is pleasant.

We went to Swallow Island by boat. There are many birds and peacocks on the island. Here we can feed peacocks, enjoy the pride of peacocks and all kinds of birds. The ecological environment here is very good.

Next, I went to Zhouyu Island, where there was a zip line between the two islands. The zip line looks exciting, and you have to go through some ideological struggle before playing. People with courage must experience it. Hanging in mid-air to see the scenery is simply a kind of enjoyment, and the field of vision is very broad.

Traveling to Wanfo Lake and climbing mountains are still a good choice. You can take beautiful photos and exercise along the way, killing two birds with one stone. Why not?

There is a sightseeing tower on the top of the hill in the distance. The sightseeing tower has seven floors, and the top floor has a good sightseeing scenery. You can have a bird's-eye view of Wanfo Lake, and feel that other mountains are short under the sky. You can have a panoramic view of the reservoir. It's spectacular.

Advance into Dabie Mountain-Baimajian

Baimajian is the core landscape of Dabie Mountain, with an altitude of1.777m, second only to the second peak of Huangshan Mountain. Although Baimajian is listed as a 4A-level scenic spot, its ecology is still primitive and it is rich in animal and plant resources. Usually there are not many tourists.

It was already evening when we drove to Baimajian. We stayed at the resort hotel in the scenic spot and prepared to climb the mountain the next morning.

After breakfast in the morning, Baimajian's road up the mountain is wild, sometimes gentle and sometimes steep. But the view is wide, and you can enjoy the mountain scenery during the climbing process. At the end of April, walking on the hiking trail, clusters of azaleas will catch your eye. They are like friends who accompany you all the way, and they bloom a lot of flowers on the road you must pass. Look at your favorite tree, so gorgeous, so beautiful, so naughty.

On the way to the top of the mountain, besides the green trees on both sides, there are large and small canyons and waterfalls. There are many azaleas on the roadside. In the flowering period, the lush branches and leaves are full of red and purple flowers. From a distance, they are in groups of three and five, like a group of burning and jumping flames.

From a close distance, some flowers are in bud, some are half open and half closed, and some are in full bloom. The blooming petals are as delicate as silks and satins, and the edges of the petals are as crooked as fairy skirts.

Because there is no cable car, I can only climb to the top of the mountain on my legs. After walking for nearly two hours, I can finally reach the top of the mountain. The rocks are piled up, and you can only climb them with your hands and feet. We didn't climb to the top of the mountain this time. There are many pine trees here. The altitude here is1500m, and it is more than 200m away from the finish line. I didn't conquer the mountain because of time. I must climb again when I have the chance.

Climb here and you can see the mountain. Looking down, the mountain wind blows and the fog rises, which seems to be a light feeling. If a fairy comes to visit.

Because Baimajian is primitive and there are not many commercial facilities, including cable cars, not many people come here to play. I don't know if you have a crush after reading it. Do you want to come and have a look?

He Yanzi Grand Canyon

He Yanzi Grand Canyon is a 4A-level tourist attraction, not far from Tiantangzhai Scenic Area. "Strange rocks, valleys, beautiful waters and dangerous cliffs" are the biggest features of the scenic spot, which perfectly combine virgin forests, waterfalls, canyon rapids and strange rocks.

The scenic spot is divided into two scenic spots, the canyon and the tiankeng, which are composed of elliptical circular tour lines, with a circle of about 5000 meters. There is no need to go back, the scenery along the way is different.

Because the canyon is deep in Dabie Mountain, there are not many tourists here. There are not so many commercial things here, and the ecosystem is well preserved. If you want to experience the original natural scenery, this place must come. Not far from the entrance of the scenic spot, a transparent glass suspension bridge comes into view. In this clear natural environment, it doesn't seem abrupt at all. Visitors here have to wear the shoe covers provided by the scenic spot before they can get on the bridge.

In the middle of the bridge above the valley river, you will feel the beauty of 360 degrees without dead ends. The long canyon seems endless, and the breeze in the valley blows slowly, as if people are wandering in the painting. Some people may worry that it will be a little scary to walk around the transparent glass suspension bridge, but believe me, the scenery you see on the bridge will make you feel at ease.

The rocks at the bottom of the valley have an unadorned beauty. I can't help admiring the ingenuity of nature. These stones have special texture and strong color impact under the scouring of rivers day after day. No matter how you shoot it, there is a feeling of blockbuster. You will feel that the shutter can't stop and don't want to live up to every angle.

The scenic plank road is built along the canyon and stretches for several kilometers. Walking on the plank road, the running water and drizzle on the roadside are getting stronger and stronger.

Once a swift stream meets a cliff with a big drop, it forms a waterfall. Therefore, waterfalls in the canyon come and go, with different shapes and sizes. There is naturally a deep pool under the waterfall, but according to the depth of the pool, the accumulated water will also appear: some are as bright as crystal, some are as green as jade, and some are as delicate and soft as jasper.

Tiankeng in He Yanzi Grand Canyon Scenic Area is the first strange pit in Dabie Mountain. It is said that it was formed by crustal movement during the Ice Age 260 million years ago. The pit is 280 meters deep, and there are cliffs on three sides, so it is impossible to climb. Visitors can only look up at the sky at the bottom of the pit and see the "Nine-Day Fairy Waterfall" hanging straight into the sky.

In this valley, walking on the wooden plank road on the cliff is super enjoyable. Fiona Fang needs to walk dozens of meters to meet other tourists, hear the echo of waterfalls falling into deep pools and smell the fragrance of leaves in the wind ... At this moment, I am really glad to meet such a pure land in Dabie Mountain.

Tiantangzhai, the last virgin forest in eastern China.

When I first came to Tiantangzhai, the mountain was shrouded in clouds, looming and full of fairy tales. It has long been said that the four seasons of Tiantangzhai change endlessly, just like "Xanadu", which was called "a sea of clouds" in ancient times. This is really an eye-opener.

Due to several days of intensive climbing and work, I decided to go up the mountain directly by cable car. The cable car is 2300 meters long and it takes less than 10 minutes to reach the top of the mountain.

When you get off the cable car and walk a short distance to Yuping Peak, the scenery in the distance is particularly spectacular, and you instantly feel glad that you have come. There is a stone slab about two meters high above the main peak, and on one side is the "border between Anhui and Hubei"; Turning to the other side, there are five big characters "Jianghuai Watershed". It is said that the boundary pillar of the "Anhui-Hubei border" has also become a punching place for online celebrities, where many people line up to take pictures.

Standing on the main peak, you can have a panoramic view of the majestic mountains, and the feeling that "other mountains are short in the sky". Emerge spontaneously. The north can be the Central Plains, and the south can be Jingchu, realizing "one foot on two provinces, two eyes on Jianghuai". It is said that Li Shizhen, a doctor of Ming Dynasty, once collected herbs on this mountain.

The environment in the scenic spot is quiet, with waterfalls, strange pines and rocks in different shapes. Waterfalls 108, with 25 peaks over 1,000 meters. The main peak of Tiantangzhai is over 1.700 meters above sea level. It is one of the famous peaks in Dabie Mountain, and was called "the first pass in southeast Wu Chu" in ancient times.

Tiantangzhai is known as the last virgin forest in East China because of its unique geographical location, with a forest coverage rate of 96.5% and a high content of negative oxygen ions.

It is often said that Qian Shan always loves thousands of waters, and Tiantangzhai is most proud of its shocking water ecological landscape, where Qian Shan always depends on thousands of waters.

The most touching thing about going to Tiantangzhai Scenic Area is the waterfalls that exude flowers. In the deep canyon, there are five perennial waterfalls: Yingong Waterfall, Lady Waterfall, Xieyu Waterfall, Lover Waterfall and Jiuying Waterfall.

The biggest reason why waterfalls are famous is their large scale and spectacular scenes. These waterfalls are all between 950m and1300m above sea level, and the falls vary from 30m to 80m. Being in it is like the water from the gods, and the spectacular degree can be seen.

Coming down from Tiantangzhai, we saw rows of plank roads on the cliff. This is Baima Peak plank road, starting at the bottom of Baima Grand Canyon and ending at Baima Peak Moon Cliff, with a total length of 4 kilometers. Most of the plank roads stand on cliffs with a slope of more than 75 degrees, which is an excellent place to conquer nature.

The plank road has a total length of 3366 meters and a height difference of nearly 800 meters. It is built on a mountain and paved with special boards. No matter the line length, relative height difference and mountain steepness, it is unique in East China.

Have the opportunity to invite friends to climb mountains together. Walking, chatting and enjoying life with friends in the Woods is a rare opportunity to relax.

Lu 'an Xichagu

Speaking of Lu 'an specialty, I have to say that Lu 'an melon chips have not been tested in ancient times, and they have been the most famous since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Lu 'an melon chips, especially Qishan melon chips produced in Batong area of Jinzhai County, have the best quality and are one of the famous green tea varieties in China.

Youfangdian Township, Jinzhai County, Lu 'an City, Anhui Province, deep in Dabie Mountain, is the core of Lu 'an Tea Valley Theme Park. Layers of tea gardens and the surrounding lakes and mountains form a natural picture.

At noon, we set out from Tiantangzhai to Xi 'cha Valley in Lu 'an, visited the demonstration base of Lu 'an specialty melon chips, and enjoyed the refreshing taste of Lu 'an melon chips, showing the excellent quality of Lu 'an melon chips. Many tea lovers will also come here.

The garden is full of tea and beautiful scenery. Tea trees are planted on hills, and every hill is covered with tea tree steps. From a distance, it is green, just like swimming in a green ocean. Layers of tea gardens surround a lake with excellent scenery.

Standing at the highest point of the tea garden, you can greedily suck the fragrance of Chahaite in the sun and take photos in this beautiful tea garden as a souvenir.

Now many tea farmers are picking tea, picking tea by hand and frying tea. It must be delicious!

At first glance, the undulating hillside is covered with green tea trees, and a breeze blows. The fresh air is mixed with the fragrance of soil and tea, which makes people who have lived in the city for a long time feel refreshed at once.

postscript

Travel is an attitude towards life. I prefer cultural relics, natural scenery and traditional food. I go to different cities and enjoy different cultures and delicious food.

The four-day and three-night trip to Lu 'an, Anhui Province has come to an end. The end of one stop is the beginning of the next. Four days is not long, so I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and made new friends. Four days is not short, which reminds me of such a beautiful place in Lu 'an, Anhui.

I hope that in the next journey, we will meet by destiny!
