2026 Xiuning Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in July)

Friends, the East Sea Cableway at Huangshan just opened on June 11! I've been holding onto this news for two weeks and only dared to share it after personally trying it out. The East Sea Cableway is the lower half of the Cloud Valley Cableway, going straight up from Huangshan East Main Gate. The peak season one-way ticket is 125 yuan, and the key point is — there are ridiculously few people. 🔻🔻🔻 I went on Wednesday, June 17. The East Main Gate parking lot was almost empty. On the East Sea Cableway, I was the only person in the cabin. Opposite me was a vast stretch of primeval forest, with tree canopies so dense you couldn’t see the ground. Occasionally, an egret flew beneath the cable car. At the top, it connects to the existing trail, leading straight to White Goose Ridge. I walked the entire path for forty minutes and met fewer than five people. 🔻🔻🔻 Now, the main info. Here are the basic data for Huangshan in 2026: Tickets: 190 yuan (off-peak and peak seasons), valid for multiple entries within 3 days after activation Cloud Valley Cableway / Taiping Cableway: 80 yuan one-way Yuping Cableway: 90 yuan one-way West Sea Grand Canyon Sightseeing Cable Car: 100 yuan one-way East Sea Cableway (newly opened): 125 yuan one-way during peak season ⛰️ “Two-day, one-night itinerary (East Sea Cableway version)” Day 1: East Main Gate → East Sea Cableway → White Goose Ridge → Shixin Peak → North Sea → Paiyun Pavilion (watch sunset) Day 2: Flying Stone → Bright Summit Peak (watch sunrise) → West Sea Grand Canyon → Cable car up → Aoyu Peak → Welcoming Pine → Yuping Cableway down The advantage of this route is entering from the East Main Gate on the first day, perfectly avoiding the crowds at the South Main Gate and Cloud Valley Temple area. The pine trees along the Shixin Peak path have the most exaggerated shapes, each more enchanting than the last, making every photo look like a traditional Chinese painting. 🔻🔻🔻 “Shixin Peak | Misled by the name” The name "Shixin Peak" means "Only here do you believe in the beauty of Huangshan." Honestly, I initially thought the name was too pretentious. Then, when I stood at the summit—okay, I believed it. Three sides are cliffs, with clouds swirling beneath your feet. Pine branches stretch horizontally from the cliff walls, each looking like it’s squeezed out from cracks in the rock. One tree’s main trunk was struck by lightning and broken, leaving only a half-dead trunk topped with a few clusters of pine needles. Living for hundreds of years looks like this stubborn yet spirited vibe. The DJ version of “Orchid in My Dream” playing in the driver’s car was so catchy that it kept looping in my head while hiking. 🔻🔻🔻 “Exclusive spot for sunset at Paiyun Pavilion” Paiyun Pavilion is a classic spot for watching sunsets at Huangshan, but most people crowd on the small platform directly in front of the pavilion. Here’s a tip: walk about fifty meters to the right along the railing from Paiyun Pavilion. There’s a protruding rock platform there. This spot offers a better angle to see the sun set behind the peaks of the West Sea Grand Canyon, turning the entire sky a fiery orange and dyeing the sea of clouds in the canyon a rose gold. But the railing here is low, so don’t get too close when taking photos. 🔻🔻🔻 “West Sea Grand Canyon | Managing your energy is key” The highlights of the West Sea Grand Canyon are the first and second loops. Walking down from Paiyun Pavilion, the first loop takes about forty minutes, and the second loop another forty. At the valley bottom, there’s a sightseeing cable car (100 yuan) that goes directly up to Tianhai, saving you two hours of climbing. My advice is to walk to the second loop and then take the cable car up. The scenery below the second loop is similar to what you’ve already seen, but the steps are so steep you’ll question your life choices. ⚠️ Mobile signal is very weak throughout the West Sea Grand Canyon, so download offline maps in advance. 🔻🔻🔻 “Bright Summit Peak sunrise | Tested in June” In June, the sunrise at Huangshan is around 5:05 AM. I left North Sea at 4:30 AM and walked to Bright Summit Peak in about twenty minutes. When I arrived, quite a few people were already standing on the east side. But the luck that day was average; there was a thick cloud layer on the east. The sun didn’t jump directly over the horizon but first shone through a gap in the clouds, then lit up the entire cloud layer. It wasn’t the kind of “Wow, the sun is out!” shock, but more like “Why did the sky suddenly turn red?” Still very beautiful. Accommodation 🏨 Banyan Tree Huangshan Next to Hongcun, a cluster of Hui-style villas. Open the window to see white walls, black tiles, and distant mountains. After a spa, you feel light as air—perfect for after descending the mountain. 🏨 Huangshan Yurun Hanyue Building Hotel Detached villas, each with a private courtyard, starting at 280 square meters. Hui-style architecture combined with modern facilities. Soak in the private hot spring and stargaze—one of the top choices at the foot of Huangshan. 🏨 Qiyunshan Freedom Home · Treehouse World Forest treehouses designed by a German designer, 62 unique units. A butler drives a shuttle to take you in, like living in a fairy tale. Twenty minutes from Huangshan North Station. 🏨 Huangshan Lotus Mountain Hot Spring Resort Hotel Right next to Tangkou South Gate, easy to reach after descending. Has hot springs to soak in, with location as its biggest advantage. Great for those planning a second visit to Huangshan the next day.

Two-Day Trip to Anhui Qiyun Mountain | A Fairyland of Clouds and Mist After Rain, Real-Life "Jian Lai" Lizhu Dongtian Guide I. Travel Transportation Guide 📍Location: Qiyun Mountain Scenic Area, Xiuning County, Huangshan, Anhui 🚄Take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station, then transfer to Xiuning Line 1 bus for only 2 yuan directly to the scenic area; if public transportation is inconvenient, a taxi ride takes about 40 minutes to Qiyun Town. Qiyun Mountain is one of China's Four Great Taoist Mountains. Emperor Qianlong inscribed it as "Unparalleled Wonderland, First Mountain in Jiangnan." After rain, the mountain is enveloped in a sea of clouds, making it a hidden gem for Wuxia-style adventures. It's the real-life filming location for "Jian Lai" Lizhu Dongtian, combining ancient Taoist charm with wild mountain scenery. II. Two-Day Classic Itinerary Day 1 | Qiyun Town Night Tour (focus on folk night scenery) Arrive and check into Baiyue Hotel → Immerse yourself in ancient-style interactive activities on Xiaoyao Street, play with NPCs and exchange for silver notes → Enjoy the hairpin flower dance performance in the evening → 18:00 Catch the Sichuan Opera Face-Changing and Intangible Cultural Heritage "Fire Burning the Sky" performance at Fuhai Stage → 19:00 Yuehua Lawn Outdoor Concert → 19:30 Watch Datihua (Iron Flower Splashing), Tiannv Sanhua (Celestial Maidens Scattering Flowers) Intangible Cultural Heritage + limited fireworks show at the Visitor Center (fireworks and Golden Dragon Dance are only available on Fridays and Saturdays) Day 2 | Mountain Hiking Grand Loop (approx. 5h total, cable car up and down saves effort) Ascend via Yuehua Cableway → Wangxian Tower → Shouzi Rock → Yitianmen (First Gate) → Zhenxian Cave Mansion → Ertianmen (Second Gate) → Santianmen (Third Gate) → Yuehua Tianjie (Yuehua Sky Street) → Taisu Palace (facing the distant view of Xianglu Peak) → Xiaohutian (Small Gourd Heaven) → Yuxu Palace → Ziyun Pass → Fang La Cave → Fang La Village → Danxia Corridor → Dongtian Fudi (Blessed Land of Caves) → Descend via Yuehua Cableway III. Must-Visit Photo Spots 1. Zhenxian Cave Mansion: Covered with historical cliff carvings "Heavenly Opening Divine Beauty," a core check-in spot from "Jian Lai," dense with ancient Taoist relics. 2. Yuehua Tianjie (Yuehua Sky Street): A Huizhou-style ancient village suspended on a cliffside. After rain, clouds and mist entwine the village, creating an ethereal atmosphere. 3. Taisu Palace + Xianglu Peak: The core main Taoist temple of Qiyun Mountain, with its gate directly facing Xianglu Peak, offering an excellent panoramic view. 4. Xiaohutian (Small Gourd Heaven): The scenic area's iconic hollowed-out gourd-shaped stone archway. Ancient dinosaur footprint fossils are preserved on the top of the grotto. 5. Yuxu Palace: A suspended Taoist temple embedded in the cliff face, housing a stele personally inscribed by Tang Bohu. 6. Fang La Village: Steep mountain ladders combined with stone houses on the mountaintop, full of wild mountain ambiance. IV. Practical Tips 1. Ticket Discounts: From June 10th to August 31st, current high school and college graduates (including junior college and above) can enjoy free admission to the scenic area with valid identification. 2. Cableway Hours: Yuehua Cableway operates from 8:00-17:00. Hours may vary slightly on holidays, so be sure to manage your time for descent to avoid missing the last cable car. 3. Alternative Transportation: If you don't want to take the cable car, you can choose the scenic area's shuttle bus, which runs between the Visitor Center and Dengfeng Bridge, offering better value for money. 4. Best Time to Visit: Hike after rain when the sky clears. The mountain mist is densest then, providing the best views and photo opportunities.

⛰️ Xihai Grand Canyon is the true essence of Huangshan Stop just climbing the main peak of Huangshan! "After Huangshan, no need to look at other mountains; after Xihai, no need to look at Huangshan." Xihai Grand Canyon is the most stunning secret spot in Huangshan, missed by 90% of first-time visitors. I recommend entering from the North Gate, it really saves time and effort! Take the shuttle bus + Taiping Cableway directly to Danxia Station, turn right to the canyon entrance, then at the fork go left, and follow the cliffside plank road. The entire route offers the best views. · -- 🌄 Perfect one-day tour route Enter from the North Gate, take the Taiping Cableway up the mountain directly to the Xihai Grand Canyon entrance, then walk the first and second loops. This section is the absolute highlight. Sheer cliffs, strange pines and rocks, the Jiaolongtan plank road hanging over the cliff—every photo looks like a cliffside adventure movie scene. Descend all the way to the valley bottom, then take the popular ground rail mini train, a 3-minute ride soaring into the clouds, 892 meters high overlooking the entire canyon. The mist is right at your fingertips, truly healing. This mini train is a must-ride for the full experience. If you have good stamina, you can get up early the next day to watch the sunrise at Bright Summit Peak. The sea of clouds surges, golden light spreads over the peaks, it really feels like a fairyland. On the way, check out Feilai Stone, a filming location for Dream of the Red Chamber, a giant rock hanging on the cliff edge, a masterpiece of nature. · -- 📝 Important tips to avoid pitfalls Be sure to wear non-slip sports shoes! The paths in Huangshan are really slippery, especially on rainy days. Bring trekking poles to protect your knees; going downhill is really hard on the knees. During peak season, cableway and mini train tickets must be booked 3 days in advance, otherwise you really can’t get them. It’s best to start before 7 AM to avoid crowds and secure the best photo spots. Enjoy azaleas in spring, red leaves in autumn, and rime ice in winter. Xihai Grand Canyon is a fairyland all year round, each season offers a different kind of beauty. · -- 💡 Local hidden tips Really don’t enter from the South Gate! The South Gate is too crowded, queues can last for hours. The North Gate has fewer people, no queues for the cableway, and goes straight to Xihai Grand Canyon. It’s way better. Always sit on the right side of the ground rail mini train for the best views and photos. Walk the first loop on the right side, the second loop on the left side—this is the best route summarized by experienced travelers for the best scenery. If your stamina is average, just explore Xihai Grand Canyon; this is the essence of Huangshan. The main peak is always crowded and not that interesting. · -- Accommodation 🏨Yunji · Shilin Cliff House At the foot of Lion Peak in Huangshan Beihai Scenic Area, a healing space on the cliff with a 360-degree panoramic balcony to enjoy stunning sunsets 🏨Yunji · Dawn Light Lane At 1630 meters altitude in Huangshan Beihai Scenic Area, backed by Lion Peak, the best spot to watch the Huangshan sunrise and greet the dawn 🏨Mosu | Hongcun Cottage · Wild Luxury Designer Vacation Homestay (Huangshan Flagship Store) On the golden axis between Huangshan and Hongcun, container industrial style blended with Huizhou aesthetics, surrounded by century-old trees and Ming Dynasty covered bridges 🏨Youtan Valley · Wild Luxury Vacation Homestay (Huizhou Chengkan Town Store) A 30-acre private luxury garden, a homestay grown in a small peach blossom land, where mountains, streams, and people blend perfectly with nature · --

Many people only know Huangshan, but few realize that Qiyun Mountain is the deepest hidden treasure in southern Anhui! It is one of China’s Four Great Taoist Mountains and the cultivation site of the Taoist True Warrior Emperor. The mountain has had temples since the Tang Dynasty, with continuous Taoist worship through the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties for over a thousand years. The entire mountain rises above a sea of clouds, featuring Danxia rock cliffs paired with ancient Hui-style architecture. Temples are nestled between sheer cliffs, with every step filled with an immortal aura and Zen spirit. It combines the spectacular peaks and beauty of Huangshan with the tranquil and ethereal atmosphere of a Taoist secret realm. With fewer visitors and stunning scenery, it’s a low-key Taoist sanctuary in Jiangnan where you can avoid crowds entirely. Mountain Height The main peak of Qiyun Mountain, Kuoyan, stands at 585 meters above sea level. It’s not a towering mountain; the overall terrain is moderate with gently rolling peaks. The mountain is compact and exquisite, with many cliffs and open summit areas. From the top, you can overlook the entire southern Anhui countryside and the sea of clouds, offering an exceptionally broad view. Hiking Difficulty Overall difficulty ★★☆☆☆, beginner and lazy-friendly. There are no steep or dangerous slopes; the steps are gentle and easy to walk, suitable for elderly and children to reach the summit easily; You can hike leisurely or take the cable car directly to the top, requiring no physical exertion. It’s perfect for casual sightseeing and peaceful contemplation. Geological Features Typical Danxia landform peak forest formed by red sandstone and conglomerate weathered and eroded over hundreds of millions of years. Bright red cliffs, natural stone caves, natural stone bridges, and cliff stone platforms are everywhere, with clearly layered rock textures. At the foot of the mountain are patchwork farmlands, while the mountain itself boasts Danxia peaks. The combination of mountains, water, Danxia landforms, ancient temples, and villages creates a rare composite geological secret in southern Anhui. Climate Characteristics Subtropical monsoon climate, mild and comfortable year-round. Spring and summer bring lush greenery and misty rain, with clouds often rising in the mountains, filling the air with an immortal aura; Summer is cool and not stuffy, several degrees cooler than the city, making it a natural summer resort and oxygen bar; There is a slight temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains, and after rain, sea of clouds often forms, creating breathtaking scenery. Trail Features Mountain trails mainly consist of ancient bluestone paths, forest stone slab roads, and cliff plank roads. The ancient paths are thousand-year-old stone steps, gentle and not steep; Most sections are shaded by ancient trees, avoiding direct sun exposure; One side features bright red Danxia cliffs, the other side offers valley and farmland views. Walking is easy and not tiring, providing a very comfortable hiking experience. Must-Visit Sections 1. Yuehua Street: Taoist ancient street at the summit, with Hui-style residences and temples connected, a cloud-top street that is both rustic and ethereal. 2.

Clothing: Wear non-slip soft-soled sports shoes as the ancient stone steps can be occasionally wet; choose breathable and loose clothing for comfortable walking. 2. Essentials: Sun hat, sunscreen, disposable raincoat, power bank, ID card; weather in the mountains can change, so always carry rain gear. 3. Small gear: Bring a lightweight hiking pole to save energy and protect knees on ancient paths; the forest has many plants, so bring insect repellent. 4. Supplies: Bring your own bottled water and some snacks; there are few shops on the mountain, so it’s better to prepare in advance.

Avoidance Tips 1. Don’t trust strangers at the mountain base offering cheap guided tours, ticket evasion, expensive incense burning, or fortune telling; these are scams. Always buy tickets through official channels. 2. Avoid wandering on undeveloped wild paths or Danxia cliffs; the ground is slippery and easy to get lost. Stick to official ancient paths and plank roads. 3. Don’t blindly buy so-called wild mountain delicacies or legendary stone souvenirs from roadside vendors; prices are inflated and often problematic. 4. Book tickets and accommodation in advance during holidays, visit during off-peak times to avoid crowds. 5. Keep quiet inside temples, don’t step on thresholds or make noise, and respect Taoist etiquette.

📖 Just got back from Huangshan, and traveling this way following the Chinese textbook is super effortless! Finally took the kids to turn the textbook stories "Climbing Tiandu Peak" and "Huangshan’s Strange Rocks" into reality! Just returned, and my mind is still filled with the rolling sea of clouds and the verdant pines. Quickly putting together this "Travel Huangshan with the Textbook" parent-child study guide, a time-saving and easy one-day tour route that’s not tiring for kids and also educational. 📖 Step 1: Prepare before entering the mountain! Warm up with textbook scenes 🚝 Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station, then take the tourist shuttle bus for 1 hour to the South Gate Transfer Center of Huangshan Scenic Area 🚡 Take the Yungu Cableway up from the back mountain and the Yuping Cableway down from the front mountain 🏔️ Must bring: trekking poles (sold at the train station and mountain base), non-slip sports shoes, light jacket (10°C at the summit), water, snacks 📚 Warm-up interaction: Before departure, take out "Climbing Tiandu Peak" from the textbook and ask the kids, "How did the old man and little sister encourage each other to climb Tiandu Peak?" Travel with this question in mind and look for answers along the way. 🗺️ Step 2: Core check-in! Corresponding textbook real scenes ⛅ One-day tour route ➡️ Yungu Cableway → Bai’e Ridge → Shixin Peak → Dream Brush Blossoms → Beihai Square → Monkey Watching the Sea → Xihai Restaurant → Paiyun Pavilion → Flying Rock → Bright Summit → Aoyu Peak → One Line Sky → Welcoming Pine → Yuping Cableway ‼️ Not recommended to take the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder with kids; the One Line Sky route is safer and easier. ✏️ Dream Brush Blossoms: It really looks like the tip of an upside-down brush! Tell the kids the story of "Li Bai throwing his brush," which leaves a deep impression on them. 👉 Beihai Square: There is a textbook-shaped photo spot here where kids can stand inside the hollow "textbook frame." Nearby are educational displays and NPC interactions. If you don’t see the sea of clouds that day, the cloud sea simulator here can artificially create flowing clouds—it's amazing! 🐒 Monkey Watching the Sea: The huge rock on Lion Peak really looks like a monkey squatting and watching the sea! On good days, you can even see real monkeys coming out to forage, which is very interesting and exciting for kids. 🌲 Welcoming Pine: The textbook installation appears again here. The textbook page open is exactly "Climbing Tiandu Peak," making for a perfect real-life comparison and great photos. Tell the kids the story of the Welcoming Pine. 📝 Tips for traveling with kids 1. Go early on holidays to avoid cableway queues 2. If you want to climb Tiandu Peak, it’s best to stay overnight; otherwise, it’s too rushed 3. UV rays are strong on sunny days, so remember sun protection 4. Must-buy Huangshan cultural souvenirs, especially "Qiqi," which personifies the Welcoming Pine with super cute expressions, and the Huangshan Four Seasons fridge magnets that change to show the seasonal scenery—very meaningful souvenirs.

At the peak of the mountains on the border of Anhui and Jiangxi, there is a millennium-old village suspended in the clouds—Mukeng Bamboo Sea · Deep in Tachuan · Mulitong (hóng). It is known as "China's Most Beautiful Mountain Village," surrounded by cliffs on three sides and backed by a bamboo sea, with an altitude of nearly 900 meters. It is shrouded in mist all year round, appearing like a floating fairyland in the morning, and when the sunset dyes the ridges red, it looks like a Song Dynasty ink wash painting. This last secret village of Huizhou has only about a hundred households. The blue tiles and white walls are built along the mountain in a terraced layout, layered one above another, looking from afar as if hanging on a cliff. In the early morning, thin mist rises from the valley, smoke from cooking blends with the sea of clouds, and the old houses appear faintly; after rain when the sun shines obliquely on the eaves, the whole village seems to float in the air, earning it the nickname "Real-life Castle in the Sky" from netizens. Unlike the bustling Hongcun and Xidi, Mulitong has not been disturbed by commercialization. Villagers grow their own vegetables and dry autumn harvests; in spring, bamboo shoots break through the soil; in summer, fireflies dance; in autumn, red leaves cover the mountains; and in winter, snow can be seen falling on the rooftops. The viewing platform at the village entrance is a paradise for photography enthusiasts, especially at sunrise when the sea of clouds surges like waves, and golden light pierces through the gaps, instantly illuminating the entire village. Highlights to check in include: ✅ Early morning sea of clouds viewing platform—capture the wonder of the "floating mountain village" ✅ Overnight stay in a mountain homestay—open the window to see the Milky Way, quietly listen to the wind through the bamboo forest ✅ Hiking loop trail—connecting nearby Tachuan and Lucun, stepping into the original heartland of Huizhou Transportation advice: start from Huangshan City, about a 1.5-hour drive, then a 20-minute walk uphill (road conditions are good). The best seasons are March to April (spring mist and fresh greenery) and September to November (colorful autumn and frequent sea of clouds). No neon lights, no noise, only mountain wind and time flowing slowly. When you stand at the village entrance and look back, as the clouds roll and unfold, you suddenly understand: What is called a fairyland is nothing but the gentlest coexistence between humans and nature.

Tired of the crowds at popular tourist spots and longing for a mystical immortal fantasy realm wrapped in mist and ancient temples hidden in deep forests? This guide avoids Wangxian Valley and Gexian Village, selecting 4 secluded and stunning real-life “cultivation lands.” Combined with Trip.com's top activities, it offers an immersive way to unlock the Jianghu landscape between mountains and waters. Shenxianju, Taizhou, Zhejiang: An Immortal Mountain Illusion Above the Clouds As the filming inspiration for the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy," Shenxianju’s volcanic rhyolite peaks and sea of clouds create the most vivid immortal fantasy backdrop. Enter the park at 7:30 AM and take the Nantian cable car up the mountain. As soon as you step out of the cabin, you are enveloped by clouds, with peaks faintly visible below, like floating fairy islands. A must-visit is the Ruyi Bridge, suspended 170 meters in the air, shaped like a jade ruyi scepter stretching across the mountains. Wearing bright-colored Hanfu on the glass bridge section, aerial shots look like you’re sword-flying through the sky. At 9:00 AM sharp, the Buddha Shadow Lotus Mist spot sprays water mist; standing by the lotus platform for a back shot, the clouds create an ethereal atmosphere reminiscent of "Eternal Love." In the afternoon, walk the suspended plank road to Guanyin Peak, where a naturally formed Guanyin statue with hands clasped in prayer emerges from the mist, the immortal aura reaching the summit. Don’t miss the local specialty “Xianju Eight Bowls” at the park entrance, especially the wine lees steamed buns with dried bamboo shoots and braised pork. Stay at a guesthouse at the foot of the mountain, some offering Hanfu rentals, perfect for early morning shots of the empty sea of clouds plank road. Driving is recommended; it’s 1.5 hours from Taizhou city center. Book the “ticket + cable car” package on Trip.com in advance to save 30 yuan. Qiyun Mountain, Anhui: Taoist Immortal Traces Among Danxia Peaks This Taoist sacred mountain hides the most rustic cultivation ambiance. The combination of Danxia peak forests and ancient temples with sea of clouds is called the “real-life Sanqing Mountain” in Trip.com reviews. Taking the cable car up, the moonlit street below appears faintly in the mist, with Huizhou-style houses and Taoist temples lining the bluestone path, the scent of incense blending with morning fog. The red walls and black tiles of Taisu Palace are perfect for photos. Wearing plain Hanfu in front of the hall with the sea of clouds as a backdrop, no filter is needed for an ancient-style masterpiece. In the afternoon, pass through the natural stone cave “Little Pot Heaven,” where the view suddenly opens to a flowing immortal fantasy painting of Danxia peaks and clouds. At sunset, climb Xianglu Peak to watch the sun dye the mountains golden-red, with the sea of clouds glowing pink. Local peach gum stewed with white fungus is sweet and nourishing, paired with Huizhou tart for afternoon tea. Stay in a guesthouse on Moonlight Street for the best atmosphere; open your window in the morning to see clouds spilling over the eaves. It’s a 1.5-hour drive from Huangshan city. The best time to visit is March to April after spring rains, when the sea of clouds appears over 80% of the time. Pingshan Canyon, Hubei: Floating Immortal Boat Above Clear Waters Known for the surreal scene of “boats floating on water, people sitting in the air,” this spot is called the “Yunmeng Jiang filming location” by visitors. Take a sightseeing bus to the canyon entrance, then hike an hour to the boat dock. The moment you board a kayak, you understand what a fairyland is—the crystal-clear water makes the boat seem suspended in midair, with sunlight filtering through cliff crevices casting dappled shadows. Walk along the canyon plank road; the “One Line Sky” spot only fits one person at a time, and when mist rises, it feels like entering an immortal’s cave. Wangyue Bridge is a great spot for panoramic shots, capturing cliffs, clear water, and floating boats in one frame. Stay at the exit viewing platform for sunset; the sun dyes the water golden, making every snap a cinematic scene. For dinner, try Enshi Tujia smoked pork stewed with potatoes, paired with a bowl of Hezha tofu to cut the richness. Stay at a guesthouse near the canyon, some offering night canyon exploration. It’s a 2.5-hour drive from Enshi city. Book tickets on Trip.com in advance to skip lines. Wearing light-colored clothes is recommended for better photos. Yubeng Village, Yunnan: A Hidden Peach Blossom Land Beneath Snow Mountains Nestled at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, Yubeng Village is connected to the outside world by only one hiking trail, known as the “real-life Kunlun Xu.” The village is wrapped in morning mist, wooden houses with curling smoke, and cattle and sheep grazing on the grass, instantly healing urban fatigue. The classic Ice Lake trail takes 8 hours, passing through primeval forest with streams and occasional squirrels. At Ice Lake, the deep blue water reflects the snow mountains, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, offering a moment of natural tranquility. The Divine Waterfall trail is easier; water cascades from cliffs, often creating rainbows in sunlight, where local Tibetans pray. At night, be sure to try yak meat hotpot with butter tea to warm up. Stay in a scenic guesthouse in the village, with views of Goddess Peak from your window. The snow mountains under the starry sky are especially breathtaking. Travel requires a bus from Shangri-La to Xidang Village, then a 5-hour hike to Yubeng. For those less fit, Trip.com offers mule and horse luggage transport. The best time to visit is September to November when the weather is clear. Travel Tips Bring a light jacket and non-slip hiking shoes; mountain areas have large temperature differences between morning and evening, and plank roads can be slippery. For photos, bring oil-paper umbrellas, round fans, and other ancient-style props; early morning or late afternoon light is best for shots. For high-altitude spots like Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Yubeng, prepare altitude sickness medication in advance. It’s recommended to book all tickets on Trip.com ahead of time; some package deals offer discounts and skip-the-line benefits. Pack your bags and set off—these immortal fantasy secret realms hidden among mountains and rivers are waiting for you to write your own Jianghu story.

Who says xianxia only exists in movies and TV shows? Hidden deep in the mountains of Zhejiang, Anhui, and Hubei are three secluded secret realms—morning mist cattle herding in Jinyun Xiandu, the Danxia Taoist realm of Qiyun Mountain, and the floating boat shadows in Pingshan Gorge—all are “immortal world original scenes” that need no filters. This 4-day, 3-night guide helps you unlock carefree adventures amid mountains and waters. Pre-Trip Immortal Preparations: Pass Guide and Packing List Transportation Sword Technique · High-speed rail direct access: Take the high-speed train to Jinyun West Station for Jinyun Xiandu (a 30 RMB taxi ride directly to the scenic area); for Qiyun Mountain, arrive at Huangshan North Station then transfer to a tourist shuttle for 1 hour; for Pingshan Gorge, first reach Enshi Station, then take a direct scenic shuttle for 2.5 hours. · Self-driving preferred: All three scenic spots are suitable for self-driving. Parking at Xiandu and Qiyun Mountain costs 10 RMB/day; free temporary parking is available outside Pingshan Scenic Area, with opportunities to stop and shoot along the misty mountain roads.

Secret Realm Roaming: 4 Days 3 Nights Xianxia Route Day 1: Xiandu’s Tribulation Crossing, Meeting the Yellow Emperor’s Alchemy · Mao hour (5:30 AM): Rush to Zhutan Mountain for “immortal classic scenes.” Morning mist shrouds Haoxi like gauze, an old farmer leads cattle across stone pier bridge, sunlight pierces the fog onto the water, like a living “A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains” painting. Remember to bring baked flatbread as “extra cast fees” to double your photo success rate. · Chen hour (8:00 AM): Climb Dinghu Peak to seek the Way. The 170-meter-high stone pillar pierces the clouds, said to be where the Yellow Emperor practiced alchemy. Bats rest in the mid-mountain caves; at the summit, tie a red blessing rope at the Yellow Emperor’s temple and overlook the swirling clouds as if touching immortal energy. · Wu hour (noon): Unlock xianxia cuisine. Charcoal-baked Jinyun flatbread is crispy and flaky, paired with a bowl of minced meat soup that’s incredibly fresh; spicy duck pot is rich in sauce, farmhouse meals cost about 50 RMB per person and are filling. · Wei hour (3 PM): Seek seclusion at Little Red Cliff. Walk in a white dress along Longgeng Road plankway, Danxia rock walls glow red, wind whistles through cliffs like a hero’s call. At dusk, check in at Yandang Study Room where moonlight filters through stone cracks onto pages, more magical than Hogwarts. Day 2: Qiyun Mountain’s Taoist Quest, Living in a Cliffside Immortal Village · Si hour (9 AM): Hike up the Danxia immortal mountain. Ascend stone steps to see wonders like “One Line Sky” and “Little Pot Sky.” Red rocks burn like fire under sunlight. Midway, the Wangxian Tower viewing platform offers shots of incense burner peak and sea of clouds. · Wu hour (noon): Taste Taoist flavors on Yuehua Street. “Taoist nun tea” carries orchid fragrance, paired with Huizhou peach crisp while watching clouds roll; Taoist vegetarian dishes like mushroom vegetarian chicken and Arhat vegetarian pot hide health wisdom. · Wei hour (3 PM): Listen to Zen at Yuxu Palace. The plank road hangs over a 100-meter-deep abyss; after rain, clouds surge from the valley bottom, seeming within reach of immortals. At dusk, listen to the Taoist priest at Taisu Palace and watch the sunset gild the golden peak. · Xu hour (7 PM): Stay in the immortal village and rest with mountain breeze. Open the window of Yuehua Street guesthouse to see mountain mist, morning bells wake the dawn, and you might meet water-carrying Taoists, experiencing the tranquility of “no time in the mountains.” Day 3: Explore Pingshan’s Mysteries, Venture into the Earth’s Heart Illusion · Si hour (9 AM): Take a boat into “Xianbenna.” The wooden boat floats on clear river waters in the gorge, fish swim beneath the boat, sheer cliffs look like knife cuts, vines hang like immortal ribbons, sunlight forms Tyndall beams through the valley, like a forbidden secret realm. · Wu hour (noon): Taste fresh Pingshan food. Steamed Pingshan fish in mountain spring water melts in your mouth, paired with spicy stir-fried Tujia cured meat, and simple warm bean curd. · Wei hour (3 PM): Challenge the hanging wonders. The glass viewing platform at Ada Terrace overlooks emerald river water; distant Jiudie Gorge is shrouded in mist; hike the “One Line Sky” path that only fits one person, look up to see the “Sky Opening Line.” · You hour (5 PM): Return to Hefeng County. Recommended “Pingshan Secret Realm Guesthouse,” 20 minutes by car, with scenic rooms where you can see stars reflected in rice paddies. Day 4: Collect Lost Treasures and Flavors, Return with Immortal Aura · Chen hour (8 AM): Re-shoot morning scenes at Qiyun Mountain or Xiandu. Watch the sea of clouds change on Yuehua Street at Qiyun Mountain; shoot morning light silhouettes at Yandang Study Room in Xiandu, avoiding crowds to enjoy the immortal realm alone. · Si hour (9 AM): Intangible cultural heritage and souvenirs. Buy bamboo weaving souvenirs at Qiyun Mountain, flatbread gift boxes at Xiandu, and Tujia silver jewelry at Pingshan—each holds secret realm memories. · Wu hour (noon): The last immortal meal. Eat Fangla fish and Huizhou fermented tofu at Qiyun Mountain base, try water southern glutinous rice at Xiandu, and show off creek fish pot at Pingshan for a perfect ending. Pitfall Warnings and Hidden Easter Eggs · Pitfall warnings: Don’t buy “wild creek fish” at Xiandu, mostly farmed; be cautious eating “freshly picked wild fruit” at Pingshan; last Pingshan boat leaves at 5 PM, missing it means a 1-hour detour. · Secret tips: Every Sunday at Xiandu’s Huzhen morning market, bargain for handmade paper cuts and traditional brown sugar using the “half-split rule”; Qiyun Mountain is a snowy fairyland in winter with icy plank roads; best light for photographing floating boats at Pingshan is before noon. · Photography tips: Capture Xiandu’s morning mist, Qiyun’s sea of clouds, and Pingshan’s noon light using a tripod with slow shutter for motion effects, and a wide-angle lens for full panorama. From Xiandu’s misty stone piers to Qiyun’s Danxia Taoist realm, and Pingshan’s floating boat shadows, these secret realms have no influencer noise, only poetic blends of nature and culture. Pack your bags and set off to be an immortal painter in the clouds for a few days.

I once believed Huangshan was the ultimate earthly beauty, but only after stepping into Qiyun Mountain, the Taoist sacred mountain in southern Anhui, did I understand what "the great way is simple" truly means. In autumn, Qiyun Mountain seems as if an immortal has spilled a palette of colors—red cliffs, golden autumn grains, and silver waves of clouds weave into a flowing painting. Even better, you can see the highlights in just 3 hours. Here’s a personally tested guide for you. 🚗 Travel Tips Take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station, then transfer to a tourist shuttle bus (20 yuan) directly to Qiyun Mountain Town, or share a ride for 30 yuan to reach the scenic area. Book tickets one day in advance for only 58 yuan; the recommended 115 yuan combo ticket includes round-trip cable car rides. Those with good stamina can challenge the Xiake Ancient Trail by hiking up. Tip: Staying at a mountaintop guesthouse not only waives the second entrance fee but also gives you the prime spot for sunrise viewing. 🍂 Autumn Stroll Guide ▫️ Yuehua Sky Street — A Peach Blossom Village Hanging on the Cliff White walls and black tiles hang chili peppers and golden corn; bamboo plaques display grains arranged in a Taiji pattern, turning Huizhou’s autumn drying tradition into an art form. ▫️ True Immortal Cave — Touch the Millennium Taoist Charm The cliff inscription "Heaven Opens Divine Beauty" still exudes immortal aura; inside the red rock cave lie the relics of Taoist monks’ pure cultivation, and the red cliff glows like blazing flames in the sunset. ▫️ Cliffside Plank Road — Walk the Sky Path Among Clouds A thousand-meter sky-high walkway overlooks rolling cloud waves; distant mountains lie like dormant azure dragons, and every corner is a perfect scene for a fantasy martial arts film. ▫️ Yuxu Palace — Listen to the Echoes of Time Seek out Tang Bohu’s authentic inscriptions between morning bells and evening drums; the red sandstone archway dances with light and shadow under the autumn sun in a perfect symphony. 🌌 Secret Realm Night Never Ends The real show begins after sunset! Among the free night tours, the glowing fish lantern parade is dreamlike and magical. Don’t miss the weekend intangible cultural heritage iron flower performance—when molten iron splashes, the night sky blooms with a thousand-year star river. 🍲 Food & Lodging Elegance → Stay at "Yunyinju" on Yuehua Street, with windows opening to embrace the stunning peaks, 380 yuan/night including breakfast and a complimentary hiking stick. → Must-try: Laba tofu with braised pork, where the bean fragrance and meat juices mingle in a clay pot; freshly caught spring water fish is tender and fresh without any fishy taste, paired with a 28 yuan cup of mountain spring hand-brewed Yirgacheffe coffee, offering great value beyond city cafes. ⚠️ Thoughtful Reminders · Mountain shops are expensive; it’s recommended to bring your own snacks. Dining at guesthouses costs about 65 yuan per person for authentic Huizhou flavors. · For sunrise viewing, arrive at Wangxian Terrace before 6 AM; the spectacular scene of the sea of clouds supporting the red sun is worth waking up early. · Non-slip shoes and a light jacket are essential; the plank road is slippery when wet, and the mountain’s day-night temperature difference feels like crossing two seasons. Autumn at Qiyun Mountain is like a forgotten fairyland, offering both spectacular landscapes and the warmth of human life. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle, this is the perfect place to blend your worries into the sea of clouds and entrust your thoughts to the autumn breeze.
