    You won't see the Welcoming Pine immediately from here, but you can reach the foot of Tiandu Peak faster. Since I already made a reservation, I figured I should give it a try. When you stand on the summit overlooking the beautiful scenery, and then return along the same route as the Welcoming Pine after descending, you'll feel that the scenery is a reward for the hard work along the way.

    We stayed 1 night in Hongcun as my friend was eager to spend more time exploring the UNESCO World Heritage City instead of a rushed day trip. I went without much knowledge of the rural village, but left intrigued, thanks to its beautifully preserved historic architecture & amazing scenery set on the southwest slope of Huangshan. This is a must-visit if you enjoy slow travel in a picturesque village!

    The hotel is conveniently located in a prime spot near Wuyi Square. The rooms are clean and spacious, over 40 square meters. A special shout-out to the lovely owner for her warm, attentive, and meticulous service. I'll definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

    It's definitely worth seeing; the photos turn out beautifully, and the autumn harvest scene is grandly planned. Many of the fish lanterns add a touch of life to the pictures. Especially on Wednesday night, the villagers' fish lantern dance and fireworks are even more lively than during the Lunar New Year!

    I previously visited Huangshan, and both Huangshan and Qiyun Mountain have their own unique characteristics: Huangshan is renowned for its natural wonders such as uniquely shaped pines, strange rocks, and seas of clouds, while Qiyun Mountain excels in Taoist culture, Danxia landforms, and leisure experiences. Huangshan's natural scenery is more magnificent, but it requires a higher level of physical fitness, making it suitable for travelers who want to appreciate top-notch natural scenery and have ample energy. Qiyun Mountain, as one of China's four sacred Taoist mountains, integrates diverse landscapes including Danxia landforms, cliff carvings, and ancient Hui-style villages, seamlessly blending culture and nature, allowing for a relaxed pace of exploration. Furthermore, at the foot of Qiyun Mountain, there are unique experiences such as bamboo rafting on the Hengjiang River, Dengfengqiao Ancient Village, and intangible cultural heritage performances (such as the Golden Dragon Dance, Iron Flower Sculpture, and Fish Lantern Parade), making it suitable for travelers who want to escape the hustle and bustle and deeply immerse themselves in Taoist culture and the landscape of Huizhou. In terms of price, Qiyun Mountain is more affordable, with cheaper entrance fees and accommodation.

    Taking the cable car down the mountain saves energy, and you can continue hiking after taking the cable car up the mountain. If you want to have a good time, you need at least 6 hours. We just took the elderly for a casual stroll for more than 3 hours.

    The scenic area is still under construction, which somewhat impacts the experience. I'm sure it will be even better once it's finished. The scenery is quite nice now, with clear water and several good spots for swimming, making it perfect for a family outing. It's a bit of a hike, but the route is quite gentle and not tiring. There's graffiti along the way to the Four-Layer Waterfall, making it a great place for photos.

    Huizhou Ancient City, one of China's four ancient cities, is not large in area but has the characteristics of Huizhou-style architecture. The prices in the ancient city are not high. There is a government office and a museum. It is very interesting to stroll around the small streets and alleys!

    The scenic area is relatively pristine. The cable car's middle station leads directly to the waterfall group, and the downhill road is well-maintained; it's about a half-hour walk to the scenic area's bus stop. You can take the scenic area bus to Baima Grand Canyon and then walk downhill for about 1.5 hours, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. The ticket allows for two entries; those with good stamina can enter the park a second day to climb the main peak.
