Travel to Sanhe Ancient Town in Hefei alone, and experience the most beautiful waterside scenery in the Jianghuai region, allowing your mood to stretch out!

Ancient villages in Anhui are represented by those in southern Anhui, while the number of ancient towns in the Jianghuai region, north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huai River, seems to be less common. Sanhe Ancient Town, located within Feixi County, is the most representative and beautiful ancient waterside town in Hefei and the entire Jianghuai region. It is especially suitable for solo travel, allowing one's mood for the week to be released, and it feels really good! Sanhe Ancient Town is located within Feixi County, bordering Lujiang County and Shucheng County, and is one of the most representative waterside ancient towns in the Chaohu and Yangtze River basins. Its history is long, tracing back to the Xia and Shang dynasties, belonging to the land of the Huaiyi people at that time, with a history of thousands of years, it is truly the best of Jianghuai ancient towns! Sanhe Ancient Town is known for its 'ancient' features, such as ancient alleys, ancient streets, ancient bridges, ancient city walls, ancient temples, ancient gun emplacements, ancient residences, and ancient teahouses, which are famous far and wide. Roaming through them is like traveling through time and space, feeling very extraordinary. A waterside town that takes 'ancient' as its beauty is indeed rare in the Jianghuai region. If you come to Hefei for a visit, it is recommended to tour here for a day, and you will definitely gain a lot. The most attractive scenic spots in Sanhe Ancient Town include Sancounty Bridge, Wangyue Bridge, Quezhu Corridor Bridge, Wannian Platform, Zhongwu Pavilion, and Yingwang Mansion, among other historical sites, which are well worth a deep visit. These small attractions add a lot of weight to the history and culture of Sanhe Ancient Town, with the significance of 'dotting the dragon's eyes'. Sanhe Ancient Town, located in the Chaohu and Yangtze River basins, became an important hub for water and land transportation on the west bank of Chaohu due to its excellent water transport, and was an important passage for external contacts of the ancient Luzhou Prefecture. Wandering aimlessly on the bluestone paths alone is endlessly memorable, giving your mood a break as well, how joyful! Now, I will summarize some experience-based strategies about Sanhe Ancient Town for everyone, hoping to be helpful! 1. Best travel season: Normally, all four seasons are suitable, but autumn is the best period. I visited Sanhe Ancient Town in mid-October, and I felt that Hefei in late autumn was not too cold or hot, especially suitable for strolling through the ancient town, and the refreshing autumn environment made it even more comfortable. 2. Scenic area ticket information: Sanhe Ancient Town is a national 5A-level scenic area, yet it is free to the public. Except for some restoration and management-type exhibition halls and historical residences of celebrities that charge a low price for tickets, other areas are open for free, and the ancient town's streets are open 24 hours a day. 3. Transportation: The location of Sanhe Ancient Town is relatively remote, so it is best to drive there. If you really can't drive, you can also take public transportation, but it's a bit more troublesome in terms of time. From Hefei Railway Station, you can take the subway line 1 to Tangxi Park, transfer to Hangbu Special Line to Shanghu Park Station, and then take Shucheng Bus No. 8 to Anyuan Road Station, and walk 800 meters to reach Sanhe Ancient Town. Alternatively, from Hefei Station, take bus No. 509 to Binhu Century City and transfer to the Sanhe Ancient Town travel special line. From Hefei South High-speed Railway Station, you can directly take the bus from the South Station to Sanhe Ancient Town. I personally suggest that it is more appropriate to take the bus directly to Sanhe Ancient Town from Hefei South Station. 4. Food and accommodation: Sanhe Ancient Town is a comprehensive living complex, with restaurants and snack shops in every street and alley, so there is no need to elaborate too much on dining. As for accommodation, there are inns, homestays, and express hotels both inside and outside the scenic area to choose from, with overall facilities being quite complete. 5. Suggested play time: If you are just looking at the ancient town scenery, 3 hours is enough. However, if you want to relax and leisure or are a photography enthusiast, you can consider playing for a whole day. It is best to stay overnight in the ancient town to experience the atmosphere of life there, which is quite a nice feeling. 6. Language and customs issues: Hefei is located in the Jianghuai region, where most people speak Jianghuai Mandarin, which is close to Standard Mandarin, so there is almost no language barrier. Moreover, Hefei people generally use Mandarin with tourists from other places. Hefei is a relatively open and inclusive city, without too many customs and taboos, so normal communication is fine.
