Songling Ancient Path
The Songling Ancient Path stretches across Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, winding through the mountains and bamboo forests, connecting Liyang and Guangde. A hundred years ago, it was a cross-border ancient post road from Jiangsu to Anhui. Hiking on the ancient path, explore the mountains and rivers, and blend the beauty of nature in heaven and earth!
Scenic spot elevation is about 460m and hiking distance is about 7km.
Tianmu Lake Hantian Banshan Hot Springs have both outdoor and indoor hot springs, with the first-line lake view outdoor pool located on the half of the mountain being a highlight. You can enjoy Tianmu Lake while soaking in the hot springs. The emerald green lake water corresponds to the green mountains during the day, and the tranquil lake water accompanies the shadows of lamps at night. The starlight on summer nights and the drifting snow on winter nights bring great pleasure to soaking in this hot spring.
