Sanhe Ancient Town

Sanhe Ancient Town is the only 5A-level scenic spot in Hefei. The entrance fee to the ancient town is free. I bought a 23 yuan group tour on Dianping.com, which is actually the round-trip fare. After getting off the bus, you can play freely. Although it is a fare, it is worth it. I recommend buying it. There are many venues in the ancient town, which are charged. I don’t like visiting venues (no money), so I didn’t go. The ancient town is very large, and you can spend most of the day if you visit all the venues. It’s good to go shopping if you don’t like visiting venues. Although it is a 5A-level scenic spot, there are not many people, so the experience is better! Appreciate the ancient town architecture and alleys, which are all very good!

Avoiding the commercial streets of the ancient city, we walked into the deserted alleys, where we could hear the sound of people playing mahjong. It seems that the people of Sanhe live a relatively comfortable life. The stone pavement of the ancient alleys carries thousands of years of footprints and is polished by the soles of shoes.

The double-sloped roofs covered with green tiles, the family names hanging under the beams, and the simple and leisurely folk customs give this ancient town a worldly feel that is not found in Lijiang.

The Hui-style architecture is matched with the flowing Sanhe River, and the lush green plants set off the antique arch bridge on the river. The Sanhe Ancient Town with its different scenery at every step can be said to be the back garden of Hefei City.

If you are lucky enough to come to Sanhe Ancient Town, I recommend you to try the local crispy rice dumplings.

Sanhe Ancient Town, a 5A scenic spot in Hefei City, is linked with ancient villages and towns such as Xidi and Hongcun, showing the rich historical and cultural heritage of Huizhou architecture and unique cultural landscape. Sanhe Ancient Town is relatively low-key, but the scenery is also beautiful. There are scenic spots such as the ancient city wall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the ancient artillery fort, the British Palace, the former residence of Yang Zhenning, and the former residence of Sun Liren in the town. Shopping in the ancient town is free, and each scenic spot is charged separately. There are many snacks and they are also delicious. Foodies can come with confidence. The disadvantage is that management needs to be strengthened. The old man on the human tricycle doesn't need to talk to us all the time. We really want to walk more by ourselves. We haven't walked 10,000 steps yet, so we are not tired.

The bus ticket from the city to the South Gate Transfer Center is 15 yuan

It took about an hour and 40 minutes to get there. If you want to go back to the city, you can buy tickets at Sanhe Bus Station. The ancient town is not bad. It is the kind of Hui-style architecture with people selling things and eating. The one-person alley is not bad. I walked around and felt it. I felt that the ancient towns all over the country were similar. I played for about 3 hours and then went back to the city.

The most conscientious five-star scenic spots and large scenic spots are free of charge, small scenic spots can buy tickets on demand, and you can also buy joint tickets. There is no forced buying and selling, and the dining prices are normal, unlike other scenic spots that rip people off. The scenic spot is very large, and it is best to visit it in one day.

The scenic area is not big and can be visited in half a day. It is said to be a 5A scenic spot, but it feels unworthy of the name. Entering from the north entrance, there is first a commercial street built on the ancient street. The goods sold are unremarkable. The purely modern antique-style commercial street to the south is even less fun. The overall feeling is that it is chaotic and not fun. Only some empty streets and alleys are a bit interesting. Fortunately, there is no entrance fee. Once you come in, you can take a walk. You can't buy at a loss or be cheated. Other individual venues charge fees and are voluntary to visit. When I went there, the epidemic had just passed, so they were not open. In short, there is no need to come here specially from other places. If some representative attractions in some cities are places where you will regret coming here and regret not coming here, then Sanhe Ancient Town is a place where you will regret coming here and will not regret not coming here.

As a 5a, it is very average, with a strong commercial atmosphere, but it has no special features. The only advantage is that the ticket is free. If you are not passing by, you don't need to go there

Authentic Sanhe snacks, reasonable prices, good taste, conscientious merchants, snacks frequented by local residents, on Fanchang Road

Walking on the ancient streets, I feel my heart calm down from the restlessness.

Sanhe Ancient Town is famous for its ancient alleys, streets, bridges, city walls, temples, forts, houses and teahouses. It is surrounded by water, and the three rivers are surrounded by three rivers. It is well-preserved, simple and natural, and no entrance fee is charged.

Sanhe got its name because Fengle River, Hangbu River and Xiaonan River flow through it. It was called Quezhu in ancient times. In the Xia and Shang dynasties, fishermen built houses here to avoid the wind, and people began to live here. It was the land of "Dongyi" and "Huaiyi". When Dayu controlled the floods, he divided the world into nine states, and Sanhe belonged to the area of "Yangzhou".

Sanhe Ancient Town is a typical Jiangnan water town with many cultural landscapes.

Walking into Sanhe Ancient Town and stepping onto the ancient stone steps, you can fully appreciate the unique charm of this ancient town.

If you have enough time, you can stay overnight in Sanhe Ancient Town, the night view is still very beautiful.

The ticket is 20, which can be paid by WeChat or Alipay. I feel that this is the most satisfying place in Sanhe Ancient Town. Climbing to the top floor, you can see the whole picture of Sanhe Ancient Town. The scenery on the pavilion is still very good.

It is suitable for people who are nearby to visit. People from other places don’t need to travel far to visit. The 5A ancient towns in the Yangtze River Basin are no longer fresh.

You can still visit the ancient town to see the scenery, but the ancient town has a stronger commercial atmosphere.

The attractions are very bad, it is not recommended to buy a combined ticket! ! ! !

It's a good place to relax. You must go to the store where I took the photo to eat catfish tofu pot and buy cowhide candy! I also recommend the horn comb from Hui Shufang! It's definitely a good gift to buy back home!

The ancient town is large in scale, with rich folk culture and beautiful scenery that will make you intoxicated!

I heard a long time ago that Sanhe Town in Hefei is very famous. Although it is a rainy day, I must check in when I arrive in Hefei. For transportation, you can take a long-distance bus to Sanhe Town at the South Gate Transfer Center. There are many buses and the journey takes about 1 hour. The scenic area does not require tickets, but some of the attractions inside require tickets. The scenic area was expanded on the basis of the original buildings in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It has ancient alleys, ancient streets, ancient bridges, ancient city walls, ancient temples, ancient artillery platforms, ancient houses, and ancient teahouses. However, it can be seen from the large score that it was newly built in recent years and is heavily commercialized, very similar to the familiar Confucius Temple in Nanjing. The gate is a memorial archway with the words "Dajiemen" on it. The online introduction says that there are Sanxian Bridge, Wangyue Bridge, Quezhu Corridor Bridge, Wanniantai, Zhongwu Pavilion, Yingwang Mansion and other attractions here. It is a very touching experience to walk along the streets and alleys along the river to find history. For example, the shops in the late Qing Dynasty, the local window carvings, wood carvings, plaques with inscriptions by celebrities, and furniture in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are all worth understanding. The Moon Watching Tower is the highest point in the scenic area with 7 floors (of course, it is charged). There are many inscriptions on each floor, as well as introductions to the local area in modern times and cultural relics exhibitions. Many celebrities have come from this place, such as Sun Liren and Yang Zhenning. You can also go and see the places where these people have lived (it should be rebuilt later and charged). I also bought Sanhe rice dumplings on the roadside. There are various fillings and fried dumplings. They are not bad. I checked in for a full 3 and a half hours. It’s not bad to come for a walk. It’s a little regrettable than expected.

In this small ancient town, some of the distinctive old houses and alleys are worth visiting. There are too many tourist shops and too many people, so it’s not interesting anymore…

Sanhe Town belongs to Feixi County, Hefei City, Anhui Province. It is located at the southern end of Feixi County, at the junction of Feixi County, Lujiang County and Shucheng County. It borders Shucheng Hangbu Town in the southwest, Lujiang Tongda Town in the south, Feixi Fengle Town and Yandian Township, with a town area of 72 square kilometers. Sanhe Town is a famous historical and cultural town in China, a national civilized village, a Chinese food culture ancient town, one of the top 100 most beautiful villages (towns) in China, the first batch of beautiful and livable towns in China, and a famous town with Chinese characteristic landscape tourism. In October 2015, it was awarded the national AAAAA-level tourist scenic spot. On July 28, 2017, Sanhe Town was selected as the second batch of Chinese characteristic towns.

It takes 1 hour to take bus No. 30 from Hefei to Feixi County, then transfer to bus No. 699. The weather was bad and it was drizzling. I sat for another hour. There were many people on the bus, all of whom were ordinary people. Everyone was drowsy. I arrived at Sanhe Dabei Bridge and walked more than 700 meters according to the map before I arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot. I didn't buy a ticket. There was an elderly tour group, so I followed the tour group. The tour guide was a young girl. I walked to the commercial street first, where people were selling things, and then walked along the river. It took about 1 hour to finish. Then I walked out of the ancient town by myself and returned to Hefei by the same route. The weather was bad, so I couldn't take any photos. It was too far and I was tired from taking the bus.

There is a boat as soon as you enter the door, it seems to be 45, don't take it, it's only a 20-minute walk to the inside, basically there is nothing but renovated Hui-style buildings, I don't know how it was rated as a 5A scenic spot.

It's more commercial, there aren't many ancient things, but it's nice to wander around in a small town.

The ancient towns in Anhui are very different from those in Zhejiang, mainly in terms of architectural style. Hui style architecture is very distinctive, but there are also big differences in other aspects, such as food, popularity, artistic conception, etc. The key is that it is too hot to go there in summer, and you can only escape the heat in teahouses.

To be honest, it is worse than expected. Although it is a 5A scenic spot and has several celebrity residences, the restoration of the residences is average and there is a fee. There are too many businesses in the ancient town, all of which are small shops.

Sanhe Ancient Town is very big, which is beyond my expectation. The scenery of the ancient town is nice and the townspeople are very friendly.

It can't be compared with other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is also a must-see attraction in Hefei.

People say that it is a waste of time to visit Sanhe Ancient Town, but I always feel that time will leave something behind, and I have to pick it up. I have walked across many bridges and touched many lions on the railings, and you are the cutest; bluestone slabs are the standard of ancient towns, whether you are a thousand years old or a hundred years old, the smooth stone surface is the evidence of time polishing; horse head walls are still in ancient style, but they are decorated with fashionable colors; one point of water is one point of agility, and the confluence of three rivers here is even more beautiful and intoxicating.

Sanhe Ancient Town is indeed much larger than many ancient towns I have visited. As I was walking, I came across the City God Temple, which was not surprising at all. However, the stone tablet in front of the temple was still quite eye-catching. I walked to Wannian Temple and took a few photos at random, feeling awe in my heart, Amitabha.

Maybe I have visited all the famous ancient towns! Fortunately, Sanhe Ancient Town is free. There are no attractions in Hefei, so I can only come to Sanhe. My photography skills can trick some people into seeing it.

Sanhe Ancient Town, formerly known as Quezhu, Quewei, and Que'an, is a famous historical and cultural town in China and a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction. It is located at the southern end of Feixi County, Hefei City, Anhui Province, at the junction of Feixi, Lujiang, and Shucheng. The total area of the ancient town is 2.9 square kilometers. Sanhe Ancient Town has Fengle River, Hangbu River, and Xiaonan River converging in its territory, flowing eastward for about 15 kilometers through Xinhe River into Chaohu Lake. The town has ancient city walls, ancient artillery platforms, the former site of the Taiping Army Headquarters, the Yingwang Mansion, the former residence of Yang Zhenning, the former residence of Sun Liren, Wanniantai, Lifu Granary, Helu, Liutong Xinglongzhuang and other attractions. An excellent ancient town must be a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Wuzhen gave birth to Mao Dun, and Sanhe Ancient Town gave birth to Yang Zhenning. Professor Yang is an outstanding representative of contemporary scientists.

Honestly speaking, it's a very nice place, suitable for slowly savoring! If I have the chance to come again in the future, I will definitely stay in the town!

Sanhe Ancient Town is beautiful, clean and simple. Although it is said to have a strong commercial atmosphere, it still has its own characteristics. It is very good and worth visiting. At Xinya Bus Station, take a long-distance bus for 18 yuan. It takes about two hours to go there. Because there are not many people on the bus, we pick up some passengers at other two stations. It takes one hour and twenty minutes to come back. We did not buy tickets to enter the scenic area, but just walked around in the ancient town, which is also very good.

Sanhe Town belongs to Feixi County, Hefei City, Anhui Province. It is located at the southern end of Feixi County, at the junction of Feixi County, Lujiang County and Shucheng County.

The main scenic spots include the Sanhe Victory Ruins, Gumin Street, Liu Tongxinglongzhuang, Zheng Shanfu's Former Residence, Sanxian Bridge, Quezhu Corridor Bridge, Taohua Island, Wangyue Pavilion, Dafudi, and Sun Liren's Former Residence.

The most famous figure is Yang Zhenning, who was born on October 1, 1922 in Sanhe Town, Hefei. He is a professor at Tsinghua University and a visiting professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, a member of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, a member of the Venezuelan Academy of Sciences, a member of the Royal Academy of Spain, a member of the Royal Society of London, and the winner of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics.

I just went there yesterday. The architectural features are different from other ancient towns, Hui-style architecture. What is different from other ancient towns I have visited is that this place does not overcharge tourists, and the prices are not very high, which is rare in scenic spots. There is a strong commercial atmosphere, which is reasonable. There are many people selling maltose, and it is not expensive. There are many former residences of celebrities, such as Yang Zhenning's former residence. There are long-distance buses from Hefei Xinya Bus Station and High-speed Railway Station, and the ticket price is: 18 yuan. Bus No. 699 also goes there. After getting off the bus, turn right and walk a few minutes to the center of the ancient town.

Sanhe Ancient Town is a place we passed by on our way to Wuyuan, but it feels okay and the night view of the ancient town is nice.

The scenery is beautiful and the culture is rich, but unfortunately the commercial atmosphere is too strong.



The former residences of celebrities are worth a visit, but "antique buildings" are basically the same all over China.

I suggest you just go and take a look, and don't hold out too high hopes, because the commercial atmosphere is too strong inside, and the variety is limited, just some specialties and accessories. It's okay to walk around if you pass by, but if you come here specially, it will be a bit uneconomical.

The typical Huizhou style of architecture, and part of the old street is still preserved. It is worth a visit for outsiders to feel the charm of Huizhou architecture. However, the town is not big, and it takes about two hours to visit. It mainly offers various snacks and special foods. The overall rating is four stars. It is a very good tourist destination around Hefei.

This is a fairly large modern ancient town; it also retains some of the original historical sites.... There is no need to come here specially, but it is a good place to hang out on a weekend.

I usually only read and don't write, but I spent 200 yuan on a round-trip taxi to come to this town, and I feel like a fool... If you pass by, just play by the way, if you are in the same situation as me, I hope you don't become the next fool...

This is the biggest surprise of this trip to Anhui. First of all, there is no entrance fee to enter the ancient town. You only need to buy a ticket when you need to visit a certain attraction. This is very rare. Even if you don’t enter the attractions, it is very nice to stroll around the town.

Maybe it's because it's not a holiday, so there aren't that many people and it's not that noisy. You must take a boat, the scenery along the coast is beautiful. The food street is a little crowded, the local restaurants are affordable, the portions are large, and the taste is good.

It is appropriate to travel by yourself and enjoy yourself slowly. But if you join a group and follow a bunch of people, it is a waste of time. Sitting in a riverside restaurant, listening to Huangmei Opera, and tasting special wine and food is quite pleasant.

There are many newly built ancient towns with beautiful scenery, similar to Lijiang, etc. They have a strong commercial flavor and have lost the original atmosphere of the ancient town. I personally think there is no need to make a special trip to see them.

There is nothing delicious. There is nothing fun. I am so sad. I went there in the rain.

Take the tourist line at the South Gate Transfer Station to Sanhe Ancient Town, the ticket is 15 yuan. Sanhe Ancient Town is very small and has a strong commercial atmosphere. The whole ancient town is full of Hui-style buildings, with small bridges and flowing water. It is okay if you don't look at the things sold in the scenic area. The overall evaluation is average, nothing special.

On the way to Hefei, I took bus No. 121 from the hotel to Huangshan Road, Keda, and got off at Yalinchong Station. I walked to the Lv Bus Station, but there was no bus to Sanhe Town. I took a direct bus to Xinya Bus Station for 18 yuan, which took about 1.5 hours. The West Street of the ancient town still has the characteristics of ancient buildings, blue bricks, black tiles and white walls. It is a very simple town. It is now a national 5A-level tourist area. It is recommended to go to the authentic houses on the East Street in the alley. I saw a delicate work of engraving seals. The old man has a craftsman spirit. There is also the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War Museum and Sun Liren's former residence. The ancient town has some history and culture. At noon, I had beef noodles at the Duyi Noodle House for 10 yuan. It was not expensive and delicious. To return to Hefei, I took the bus to Mingzhu Square Station, which only cost 12 yuan.

Sanhe Ancient Town is located at the junction of Feixi, Lujiang and Shucheng counties. There are many ancient buildings from the late Qing Dynasty, and the small bridges and flowing water of Xiaonan River. It is quite interesting to take a walk in the busy schedule.

Sanhe Ancient Town is a free scenic spot with beautiful scenery and the feeling of an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The "Wind and Cloud Pavilion" displays the residence of the British king where the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom won the "Sanhe Victory". Chen Yucheng was born in Guangxi, named Sanhe, buried in Yanjin, and died at the age of 26. Chen Yucheng's defeat in 1862 marked the beginning of the collapse of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom after the Tianjing Incident. Two years later, in 1864, Nanjing was captured by Zeng Guoquan.

One-day trip to Sanhe Ancient Town, the food here is more delicious than all the other ancient towns!

It's just an ordinary ancient town. It's okay to pass by and take a look, but it's not worth going there specifically.

Sanhe Ancient Town is still worth recommending, after all, you don't need to buy tickets, and the rice dumplings are delicious. Sanhe Ancient Town is relatively large, and the old houses and old streets are also preserved, but there are also many newly built antique buildings, which feel a bit out of place when combined with the old and the new. It is called an ancient town, but it is actually relatively new and heavily commercialized.

I feel the ancient town is nice, especially when you visit it in the mist or at night, it is very romantic.

The snacks and local dishes of Sanhe Ancient Town were featured in A Bite of China. The town's style is also very unique and well worth a visit.

Arrived at Sanhe Town at about 4:40.

I went to the station first to ask about the bus to Chaohu, but was told that there was no direct bus and I had to transfer to other places. I decided to go to Lujiang first! Then I went to the backyard to ask about the bus to Lujiang, and then went out. I walked to the People's Monument and came back, thinking that there was no scenic spot there. Then I walked to Fuguang Road opposite the station, and there was a family hotel that said it would stay for 20 yuan. I asked if there was a computer, and he said this and that in a rather unhappy manner. I felt that Sanhe's language was not easy to understand. I walked further in to another hotel, and there was no single room, only double rooms, and they wanted to give me 71 days. I said I would try a little more.

Then I looked at the picture of a small town near the People's Monument. I took a picture of it on my mobile phone first and found that the main scenic spot was on the right side of the bus station.

Going further in is the Dajie Gate. After entering the Dajie Gate, not far away is the ancient street. Go to the left and walk straight to the city wall. After passing the city gate, there is a food street. It was already late at night. The hostess of the first house asked me to eat vegetables, but I said I hadn't checked in yet! She said that after crossing the bridge, walk ten meters to the right and there is a very cheap inn. Check in and come back to eat. I agreed and left, crossing the Xiaonan River Bridge and turning right. There are not many shops on the riverside that are open, and the lights are all dark. There is a restaurant with very dim lights on. I saw a Sanhe Tourism Inn and went in. The price was very expensive. The hostess said to give me a discount of 120. I said it was too expensive and it was a bit wasteful for me to stay alone. She said 120 is still expensive? Later, I walked around a lot and didn't see many hotels. When I walked to Hengchang Road, I turned in and found a relatively good one. The sign said it was on the second floor, but it was actually on the third floor. I looked at a double standard room and said that I was staying alone and the price was 80 per person. I was afraid that others would hear it. I said I could stay at the station for 20 yuan. A man said, "What's that? The sheets won't be changed for half a year!" We are here to save money on the trip. Finally, we found a hotel called Telecom Hotel. The old man took me to the second floor to see the rooms. A double room costs 50 yuan, and a single room costs 50 yuan. Finally, we agreed to 40 yuan. The lady boss said I could use her computer and that there was wireless internet.

After settling down, it was almost seven o'clock and I walked around the street again, especially walking around the Xiaonan River and taking some photos. At 7:20, I went to the snack street again, but I didn't dare to eat. The owner of a restaurant had some medical knowledge. I said my stomach was not feeling well, and he said he had purslane at home, which was really good for the stomach. I arrived at the river at 7:30. When I came back, it was almost eight o'clock and I still hadn't found anything to eat. I found a store near the hotel and went in, but the people there said they had no food. I went to another noodle shop, and the boss said they had no noodles, only rice noodles. So let's eat rice noodles. Maybe there are not many people coming to this place, so the restaurant doesn't prepare much? If I don't act early, I won't be able to eat in the evening.

1. According to the guide, I chose to go to the tourist bus station to take a bus to Sanhe. As a result, the ticket seller told me that there were no buses from here and I had to go to the central station (later I learned that it was the high-speed railway station and bus station). In addition to the 18 yuan ticket, I had to pay another 15 yuan per person to let the shuttle bus passing by the central station take me there. I was immediately unhappy because this 15 yuan was equivalent to the bus fare without any receipt! You know, I took the bus to the South Gate Transfer Center (South Station) by myself, and it was only 1 yuan. It’s not just a little bit of a rip-off, it’s a way to make money.

2. The planning of the ancient town is good, with old and new blocks interspersed, and it is exquisite. In spring and summer, taking a cruise is also a good choice. The food is relatively simple, and there are mostly farmhouse restaurants. The restaurant owners are not very honest. Many dish prices are not written on the menu, and they quote prices without any reason. For example, the Sanhe stir-fry, which is recommended by the locals, the owner will not let you order vegetarian stir-fry (the Sanhe stir-fry on the menu is written as 10 yuan, which means vegetarian stir-fry), saying that Sanhe stir-fry must be eaten with meat, and that the 10 yuan one is sold to monks (there is a temple in the ancient town). After hearing this, are you still interested in dining? You want to beat her up, right? It is very disgusting. Tourists are not fools who let you slaughter them at will.

3. The ancient town is quiet, it's nice to walk around, don't let some people spoil your fun. When you go back, just take a bus at Sanhe Bus Station, tell the ticket seller where you are going, and get off at the nearest bus station. The whole trip is quite convenient. There is no highway, it seems that you can get there by changing from the provincial road to the county road. It would be faster if there is a highway.

My favorite place on this trip. I arrived there in the evening and enjoyed the peaceful town. It was 5 o'clock when I arrived there. The sun was setting and the afterglow was scattered over the whole town. It was very peaceful.

The night view of the ancient town was what I was most looking forward to this time, and it really lived up to my expectations.

Standing on the bridge, I looked at the lights of the Moon-Watching Pavilion, the houses with gray roofs and horse-head walls by the river, and the small sailboats gently floating in the river. The breeze blew gently, and everything was so peaceful. Walking alone in such a quiet ancient town, time seemed to have stopped. I was a little passerby who traveled back to that era.

The next morning we continued our tour and took a boat ride. It cost 30 yuan and was very comfortable, but the journey was a little short.

Sanhe Ancient Town was one of the more rushed itineraries in our Hefei trip. We had originally planned to stay in Hefei for two days and visit the Anhui Pavilion and Swan Lake, but since we couldn't change our tickets, we gave up those trips and added Sanhe to the afternoon. It was a bit rushed but it was enough.

Let me talk about transportation first: it is best to go to the South Bus Station and take a bus directly to Sanhe for 20 yuan. There are also buses at the Tourism Bus Station, but you need to transfer at the bus station first and then change to the bus at the South Station. We almost missed it because the free bus to the South Station is still a bit limited. So it is recommended that you go to the South Station to take the bus. The return trip is also to the South Station, Sanhe Bus Station.

The bus station is not too far from the scenic spot, about 1 kilometer, just walk there. Sanhe Ancient Town is different from Hongcun Chengkan we saw in Anhui, and it is also different from Huizhou Ancient City. It feels a bit like the Jiangnan Water Town, but not completely like it, and it also has its own unique feeling. There are 3 relatively important rivers as a whole, thus forming Sanhe Ancient Town. Except for some scenic spots, the scenic area is free. If you just walk around the ancient town, you can finish it in about 2 hours. You can see everything for free. It is a very good ancient town, not too commercialized, and there are relatively few tourists. The ancient town is more peaceful after the rain. Most tourists don’t know this place. It has just been upgraded to a 5A scenic spot and is expanding its popularity.

After we came back, we heard that Sanhe was flooded by heavy rain. We hope that the local residents can leave safely and that the ancient town of Sanhe will gradually get better, becoming more simple and less polluted.

The scenery is described in the pictures. Let me tell you about the delicious food: Sanhe rice dumplings, various dried tofu, pickled meat, Sanhe stir-fried dishes, rice noodle spareribs!

China's ancient towns have fallen into a unified development model and have lost their distinctiveness. Sanhe Ancient Town is no exception!

Although Sanhe Ancient Town is larger than other ancient towns in Jiangnan Water Village, its development model is nothing more than food, specialties, and renovated houses... So, there is nothing particularly attractive. I just use it as a stopover during a long drive on a self-driving tour. I deliberately arrange the arrival and departure time in the evening and noon, so as to avoid the peak tourist hours and see the most original state of the ancient town at night and in the morning. I repeat an important point: you must stay overnight to visit the ancient town, so that you can see the original ecological state of the ancient town after there are no tourists. It's just a pity that the weather was bad in the early morning when I arrived in Sanhe Ancient Town, and I couldn't take satisfactory photos.

I don’t know why China-TravelNote, as a travel website, cannot upload large-capacity photos taken with SLR cameras. The photos below were all taken with mobile phones. If China-TravelNote can directly upload large-capacity photos, it will be able to share more scenery and features of SLR cameras with everyone!

Sanhe Ancient Town is located in Feixi County of Hefei, at the junction of Feixi, Lujiang and Shucheng counties. Fengle River and Hangbu River meet here, making it a beautiful Jiangnan water town. The town has ancient streets, ancient bridges, ancient houses and ancient teahouses. You can also take a cruise and watch local folk songs.

It takes about 1.5 hours from Xinya Bus Station to Sanhe Ancient Town. The ticket price is as shown in the picture. When returning from Sanhe, you can buy a ticket directly to South Station, which takes 1 hour. If you want to catch the bullet train, this is an option.

Dingji rice dumplings are very special, with homemade chili sauce. It is recommended to buy them at Dingji, which is located opposite Yang Zhenning’s former residence.

Yang Zhenning's former residence is actually Mr. Yang's grandmother's home. Mr. Yang lived here for a period of time when he was a child.

The small town post office is similar to the Cat's Sky Castle in Suzhou, where you can send postcards to your future self.

Don't buy the Qianxi chestnuts sold in the corner of the milk tea shop next to the celebrity barber shop, otherwise you will regret it. Just look at the skin I peeled and you will know how tired I was eating. I didn't eat a single whole chestnut in the whole bag. I am too tired to complain.

There is also Shengji Rice Dumplings opposite the celebrity barber shop, which tastes good too. You can try and compare and choose the flavor you like.

There is no admission fee for Xiangu Tower.

A decent ancient town, but not as good as Wuzhen or something like that

There is no ticket fee. If you have children, I think it is quite average.

A very relaxing and leisurely ancient town with cultural and gourmet food. I recommend friends who come to Hefei to visit here. Not charging admission at the gate is conducive to the promotion of the scenic spot.

Worth a visit, nice scenery, delicious food

It rained a little on the day we went there, and the ancient town was also beautiful in the rain.

There are no entrance fees to the attractions and no parking fees, but the scenery is great and there are many tourists.

This 4A-level attraction is free, and only sells small tickets such as those for Sun Liren's Former Residence and Yang Zhenning's Former Residence, and a combined ticket is only 40 yuan.

Visit Sanhe Ancient Town, no tickets, just wander around, the above picture

It is under renovation and locals say they are preparing to apply for 5A status. Is this true?

It's more suitable for people who like quietness. Like me, I stayed there for a few days, wandering around in the alley every day, and always got lost from time to time...

As soon as we set foot on the bluestone pavement of the ancient town, the big red lanterns hanging in front of every house happened to light up. The twilight of the water town was instantly dotted with sparkles and charm. We seemed to be in a bustling street in ancient times and forgot what day it was.

Walking freely in the streets of the ancient town, caressing the ancient and beautiful eaves and corners with your eyes, your thoughts will drift away. The carved and painted beams, the black lacquered and gilded plaques, and the deep alleys covered with moss all exude a rich ancient charm.

Most of the public experiencers of this enchanting night view experience tour are photography experts. While we were still marveling at the night view of Sanhe Ancient Town, they had already turned their praise into the sound of shutter clicks one after another.

Sanhe Ancient Town still needs further development. The streets and buildings in the scenic area are very rough, with a large part of them being man-made. It shows how simple and honest the hardworking people of Anhui are, begging with a golden bowl in their hands. If Sanhe Ancient Town is well developed, it will be no worse than Zhoucun Ancient Town. It's a pity that Zhoucun is somewhat famous in the country, but not many people know about Sanhe Ancient Town.

I originally booked the tickets online, but when I got there I found out that I could walk around freely after paying the rickshaw driver 25 yuan.
