"Living in the countryside" weekend "micro-vacation" activates consumption of "a pool of spring water" and "temporarily leaves the city"
News: In today’s fast-paced life, “leaving the city for a while and living in the countryside” has become the dream of many office workers. In Anhui, Motan Tourist Resort, a ten-minute drive from Hefei city, provides residents with a good place for a weekend "micro vacation".
At the food street of Motan Tourist Resort in Daxu Town, Hefei, Anhui Province, citizens come here to feast and feast on their food during lunch time. There are many small vendors holding big umbrellas on the street, and there are all kinds of freshly made snacks in the shops on the street. The noodles, dada, fried dough sticks, fried dumplings, etc. that Hefei people especially love are very popular.
Hefei's famous Xiatang Shaobing is a local intangible cultural heritage. It has a long history and evolved from the "Hu Cake" in the Han Dynasty. The tool for making pancakes is very special. The upper part is called the sky pot and the lower part is called the earth stove. The biscuits baked in this way are crispy and have the aroma of sesame, which is very delicious.
When citizens come here, they can not only visit the lively food streets, but also the quiet libraries and art galleries. It is very comfortable to read or visit in such an environment. In addition, tourists who like tranquility will also choose to experience the B&B here. The B&B is surrounded by large and small farmland and landscape green spaces, giving people a sense of leisure and vacation of "leaving the city temporarily and living in the mountains."
Because the weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, and the entire park is very large, covering an area of 4,000 acres, everyone will choose to take various means of transportation when visiting here. This childlike little train is people’s first choice and is also children’s favorite. When the small train passes through the water, it splashes water, giving people a wonderful experience of being in a comic. At the same time, the different shapes of covered bridges, planks, and various aquatic plants on the wetlands also add a lot of interest to this journey.
In addition to shopping and eating, people can also see various folk performances here. In the open space in front of the food street, there are performances such as Dalianxiang, flower boats, juggling on the ground, Huizhou opera, etc., as well as the traditional intangible cultural heritage Luzhou Rope Art.
The whole scene was very lively. In fact, five years ago, Motan was still a village. In recent years, in response to the villagers’ demands for quality of life, the local government has re-planned the entire village while preserving its original appearance to the greatest extent possible. After reconstruction, the current Motan and the nearby picking park and forest park together constitute the Dawei ecological agricultural tourism scenic spot.
Now is the season when big cherries are ripe. In the picking gardens in the scenic area, many tourists are experiencing picking cherries with their own hands. Some people choose to camp in tents on the nearby lawn, set up stoves and experience the fun of outdoor barbecue. At the same time, tent rental services are also provided here to meet tourists’ camping needs of “packing light”.
These diverse entertainment projects are not only welcomed by Hefei citizens, but also attract many tourists from surrounding cities. According to statistics, the passenger flow of Dawei ecological agricultural tourism scenic spot can reach 40,000 every weekend.
In Shanghai, more and more citizens choose to get out of the city, embrace nature, and come to the lakeside countryside to experience water sports and outdoor camping.
The Jinwu Peninsula in Jinze Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai is the core area of the "Yangtze River Delta Green Ecological Demonstration Zone". From an aerial view, you can see that the place is surrounded by water on three sides and has beautiful scenery.
When tourists come to the water sports base of Jinwu Peninsula, they can check out all kinds of new and unique water sports, including sailing, windsurfing, dragon boating, and rowing. In addition, there are novice-friendly water sports options such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and water biking.
Walking slowly on the open lake, you can see the waterside village with white walls and black tiles in Shuangxiang Village, as well as the lush green trees on the shore.
Don’t worry if you are new to water sports, there are national-level professional coaches here to provide step-by-step guidance. In terms of safety, life jackets are a must for water sports, and professional coaches will provide guidance before entering the water. At the same time, there are also patrol lifeboats on the lake to ensure that every visitor can enjoy the experience in a safe environment.
As a water sport, you may also be particularly concerned about the water quality here. As the core area of the "Yangtze River Delta Green Ecological Demonstration Zone", the lake water here has always maintained Class II water quality and is very clear.
After experiencing the water sports, when we returned to the shore, tents of various sizes had been set up on the lawn.
Here, visitors can bring their own camping equipment and enjoy the fun of hands-on construction. At the same time, a complete range of camping equipment such as tents and canopies are available for rent. In addition, there are also 85 accommodation campsites and 30 day-return campsites built here, which can be packed in and are especially suitable for families, parents and children, and couples.
The camping site here is spacious enough. You can have a Frisbee party on the lawn with your friends, or you can bring your pets and let the "furry kids" have fun here. You can also put out a barbecue grill, tables and chairs, and have a hearty lakeside session. While grilling, you can also order a cup of freshly ground coffee and sit by the lake to enjoy the rare leisure time. If one day is not enough, you can also spend the night here. Late at night, the only sounds in your ears are the wind and the chirping of cicadas, which has a unique charm.
The reception here can reach 600-700 people on weekends, of which 70% of the tourists are Shanghai citizens who choose to travel around. It is about 60 kilometers away from downtown Shanghai. Many citizens choose to drive by themselves on weekends. It can be reached in more than an hour via the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway or the Shanghai-Changzhou Expressway.
In addition to tourists from Shanghai, since this place is located at the junction of two provinces and one city, tourists from Jiangsu and Zhejiang also account for 30%. Taking Wujiang District in Suzhou as an example, it is even closer than the distance from downtown Shanghai. It can be reached in less than an hour's drive of more than 30 kilometers. At the same time, it is only a ten-minute drive from Dianshan Lake and Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, making it a "one-stop" destination.
In November 2024, the "2024 Sixth International Windsurfing Masters" will be held here. At that time, athletes from more than 20 countries will sail and compete here. As a tourist, you can enjoy camping while watching international competitions up close, and catch a glimpse of star windsurfers at your doorstep.
