A two-day tour of history and culture in eastern Anhui - Langya Mountain, South Taipu Temple, Wu Jingzi's former residence and memorial hall, and Flower Expo Garden

Tour itinerary:

Day 1: Depart locally for the Tingcheng Chuzhou,

Visit [Southern Taipu Temple] in the morning (about 1.5 hours) In the sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to establish the central institution in Chuzhou to manage the national horse administration - Taipu Temple. Upon the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di ascended the throne and moved the capital to his own fiefdom, Beijing. However, a central administrative structure has been retained in Nanjing, and the Taipu Temple has also been preserved. But because Beijing already has a new Taipu Temple, the Taipu Temple in Chuzhou has been renamed Nanjing Taipu Temple, also known as the South Taipu Temple. In this way, two Taipu temples, one in the south and the other in the north, were divided between the north and the south: the horse administration in the northern region was under the management of Beijing Taipu Temple, and the horse administration in the two Huai and Jiangnan regions was under the management of Nanjing Taipu Temple. The Qing Dynasty also basically followed this practice. Visit the Fengle Pavilion (about 40 minutes), which connects with the Taipu Temple. The scenic area includes the Dafeng Mountain and its gentle slope section at the east foot. On the north side is the famous Chuzhou Xijian Lake, which is now located in Chuzhou. On the west side, it is adjacent to the modern cultural landscape under construction - Langya Mountain Pumped Storage Power Station Scenic Area. The area is 253100 square meters.
