This summer, an absolutely hidden gem for playing in the water in Southern Anhui!

For the May Day holiday, I specifically chose to avoid the crowds and took a trip to Qimen, planning to find a secluded place to lie flat for a few days. I never expected it to be so beautiful that I couldn't stop playing around. I have to say, this is the most perfect combination of mountains and water in Southern Anhui, and it has refreshed my understanding of the area once again. Along the way, the mountains on both sides are covered with neatly arranged tea gardens, and even the houses in the mountains are neatly lined up, which is very friendly to those with OCD. The trees are lush along the way, and there are streams of various sizes everywhere, and most of these streams are clear and shallow, allowing you to stop the car and play in the water at any time. Li Creek Canyon - Navigate to 'Guniujiang National Nature Reserve Li Creek Management Station', and you'll find pools of various sizes all the way up the canyon, with water so clear it makes you question life. If you're lucky, you might even see a salamander. Li Creek Ancient Village - A free ancient village, right at the entrance is a long stream, the water is also incredibly clear, and there are lots of small fish inside, so delicate don't even think about catching one, don't ask me how I know. Jinshan Village Yan Shang - Just over ten minutes' drive from the above two attractions, there is a stunningly beautiful lake, perfect for dazing out all day. Located at the foot of the mountain and by the water, it's very healing, and if I were to choose a Shangri-La in this life, it would definitely be here. Qimen, this scenic spot 'delayed' by 'black tea', also has the most well-preserved ancient tree forest in Huizhou, Taoyuan Village, Hongqi Village... If you're bringing children, I suggest choosing places with clear and gentle water to play in (there are many here). Also, it's not recommended to go swimming in the mountains on rainy days, safety always comes first when going out to play. Leave No Trace Travel Initiative: All the attractions are very pristine, and I hope everyone can enjoy the beauty while also taking care of and protecting them.
