Must see! 5 things you must know when going to Huangshan & Hongcun in Anhui!

Anhui's famous attractions: Huangshan & Hongcun✔️ are picturesque and worth a special trip‼️ The environment there is also very suitable for vacationing and relaxing‼️ However, climbing Huangshan requires a strong physical reserve, and lazy people naturally choose the cable car for the whole journey‼️ Next, I will talk about the 5 things you need to pay attention to when traveling there✍🏻 Take notes‼️ - First thing There is a newly opened high-speed rail station near Hongcun! Yi County East Station! After leaving the high-speed rail station, a 35-minute taxi ride can reach the Hongcun scenic area! - Second thing The Hongcun scenic area is not too big, and it can be visited in half a day✔️ The scenery inside is very good, photographers/ portrait lovers can linger inside for a whole day📷 But the accommodations inside the scenic area are all small inns, with relatively ordinary conditions! If you need a high-end hotel with good conditions, you have to stay outside the Hongcun scenic area✔️ - Third thing The journey from Hongcun Scenic Area to Huangshan Scenic Area is 35 minutes🚘 The accommodation conditions on Huangshan are relatively backward and expensive. All supplies are carried by manpower, so the price is naturally high. But if you want to watch the sunrise and take pictures of the starry sky, you can only choose to stay on the mountain. Most budget tourists will choose to go up the mountain early in the morning and come down in the evening. - Fourth thing Huangshan has many trail scenic spots, which will be opened and closed for maintenance in turn. There will be announcements at the ticket office. Strong hikers can walk to various attractions on their own. Lazy tourists who don't want to hike can take a cable car to the mountain and look around, don't try to hike to those dangerous peaks that can only be reached by walking. Anyway, I am lazy, I just take the cable car to look around, drink tea, take the cable car down the mountain, the scenery is still beautiful, and I am not tired. - Fifth thing There is also a bundled attraction around Huangshan· Xidi Ancient Town. This ancient town is indeed an ancient town, but it is indeed very deserted. There are a few residences of famous people from the late Ming and Qing Dynasties that can be visited (but the original residents live in the old houses!) There is an admission fee for entering Xidi Ancient Town! There are not many interesting shops inside, and you can't find too many good food and drinks. Emmmmmm In short, I think this ancient town is more chicken ribs, unless you are really idle, you can go and see, otherwise I still recommend staying in the comfortable Hongcun scenic area. The scenery is not on the same level.
