Hefei Lord Bao Park

4.2
(142)
National park
Nestled in the heart of Hefei, Lord Bao Park (Baogongyuan) is a serene escape from the bustling city life. This enchanting park pays homage to the legendary figure Bao Gong, known for his unwavering commitment to justice during the Song dynasty. Visitors can explore beautifully landscaped gardens, tranquil tea houses, and a picturesque lake while immersing themselves in history at Bao's restored underground tomb and those of his family members.
Lord Bao park is located on the east-south edge of “old-city” center. Lord Bao is a very popular person from real China history. In this park there are 4 places to be visited, and 3 of them have direct relationship to Lord Bao: his tomb, including tombs of his wifes and son, memorial temple and tower Qingfengge, where you can find small exposition about Bao’s life, and you can look on the park from the tower’s top. To visit all 4 places costs 40 rmb.

The Memorial Temple of Lord Bao, also known as Bao Gong Temple, is a significant religious site in Hefei, China. It is situated in the Luyang District and holds great historical and cultural importance as the longest-running temple dedicated to Bao Zheng in the country. The temple, also referred to as 'Bao Xiaosu Gong Temple,' was recognized as a key provincial cultural relic protection unit in Anhui Province.
I watched the movie when I was young, really like it. After I realized there is a temple of Lord Bao in Anhui. I am not hesitated to visit. The place, as located within a park, shown Lord Bao history is a peaceful place. For foreigner like me can only walk around as all information (or almost) are in Chinese. I suggest you to download Chinese translator or use google for translation.

20 rmb entrance fee. Some items are listed in English signs.. But most of the highlights are in Chinese. Nice place to visit and drop by for about 30m..since this is one of the few tourist spots in hefei. Lots of taxis outside on the main road. If you are a non Chinese speaking tourist.. Get the English version of didi. Drivers can easily drop you off here and pick you up.

Historic Sites
The 李鸿章故居 is a significant tourist destination in the area, owing to its association with an important figure from the late Qing Dynasty. Though not very large, visitors can explore the place and learn about the life and accomplishments of this historical personality within half an hour. However, due to some parts being used by other departments, only a portion of the original building is accessible for viewing.
Nice house of 19th century.
Denis O — Google review
Just write down your name and phone number and they will give you a ticket. It's free. It is said that almost half of this neighborhood was this person's house.

This must be the most important place to go in this area. The owner who was very important figure in late Qing Dynasty. Place is not too big, anyone can finish it within 30 minutes. Some of the original building was been occupied by other departments so there is only potion of it can be viewed.

(Translated by Google) Given Li Hongzhang's status, this former residence is not as grand as imagined. A typical Chinese-style mansion. The exhibition's introduction to Li is relatively pertinent and basically breaks away from the ideological framework. However, the introduction to the history of the late Qing Dynasty is still full of ideological propaganda and blocks a large amount of key historical information (generally on the same level as middle school textbooks). There is an area in the museum displaying Li Hongzhang's calligraphy, including couplets, letters, plaques, etc. Li Hongzhang's calligraphy cannot be compared to the evaluation of the exhibition area: "a rare treasure, with high attainments in calligraphy and extremely high aesthetic value." In addition, I recommend the Zhili Governor's Mansion in Baoding. That grand building is Li's government office and residence. (Original) 以李鸿章的地位,这座故居没有想象的宏大。典型的中式大宅。展馆对李的介绍比较中肯,基本摆脱了意识形态框架,但对晚清史的介绍,依旧充满了意识形态宣扬,而屏蔽了大量关键的历史信息(总体和中学课本一个水准)。馆内有一个区域展示李鸿章的书法,包括对联、书信、牌匾等。以李鸿章的书法,实在说不上展区对其的评价:“难得的珍品,书法造诣较高,具极高的美学价值”。另,推荐保定的直隶总督府,那片宏大的建筑是李的衙门兼宅邸。

Anhui Provincial Museum

3.9
(15)
Museum
Anhui Provincial Museum is housed in an old building, with its main collection now situated in a new facility near Swan Lake. The museum features diverse exhibitions including paintings and marine life. While there is limited English signage, it's still worth visiting, especially if you're exploring the old city center district. However, note that the natural history exhibits have been relocated to another venue. Entry to the museum is free, making it a convenient and interesting stop for travelers.
An interesting place to spend an hour or two. Some, but not a lot of English notation, localized mainly to the wing about the political history of the museum. Of note: the natural history exhibits seem to have been moved elsewhere.
Lake K — Google review
As far as I understood, this is an old building of Anhui museum. Nowadays the main collection is located in a new building near Swan Lake. This museum now still has some interesting expositions, including paintings, sea inhabitants, etc. Entrance is free. I recommend to visit this museum when you plan to have a walk along the old city center district.

(Translated by Google) Me: ``How much?'' The clerk: ``It's free.'' Me: ``What!?'' After some exchanges, I followed the directions to an old building and found it was just a photo exhibit. Completely failed. . . Suddenly, I went to the exhibition in the new building. The stylish interior, visualized images, and exhibits that allow you to trace back the history of the museum are abundant and are national treasures.The museum is currently undergoing renovations, and the gap between the old and new buildings is huge. A must go if you're in Hefei. (I don't understand why it's free) (Original) 私「何元ですか?」店員「無料です」私「えっ!?」みたいなやり取りの後、古びた建物を道順通りに見ていったら、ただの写真展示。完全に失敗した。。。と思ったら急に新館の展示へ。オシャレな内装、ビジュアライズされた映像に展示品も古い歴史から追え、展示品も豊富&国宝級で、ちょうど改築中だつたらしく、旧館と新館のギャップが凄いです。 合肥に来たなら行くべき。(何故無料なのかわからないぐらい)

Hefei Botanical Garden is a delightful haven for nature enthusiasts, showcasing an impressive collection of over 10,000 plant and animal species. This expansive garden features scenic walking trails, tranquil ponds, and beautifully curated gardens that provide a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle. Visitors can explore various themed gardens and enjoy the natural beauty throughout different seasons, particularly in April-May when blooms are at their peak.
This place should be wonderful in April-May. But i got fun also at the end of June. Territory is large: it will take about 3 hours to walk around. There are several gardens with specific plants. The main problem is that the closest metro station is rather far from this place, but there is a bus stop nearby, or you can take a taxi. Entrance fee is 10 rmb.
