    The Jiuhua Mountain Scenic Area has been improving its services year by year. It's getting better and better. As a Buddhist, and considering it's a sacred site for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I still recommend visiting to pay homage if you can afford it. There are free shuttle buses from the high-speed rail station. Then, go to the visitor center to transfer to the scenic area bus. It costs 50 yuan round trip. Honestly, this is quite good. The entire scenic area has a rather strong commercial atmosphere, but it's acceptable.

    I started my ascent from Xiaoyaoxi Station before dawn. The bus ride up the mountain took about 20 minutes, and I jogged all the way to the cable car station. The Yunggu cable car route is quite steep, and the ride takes about 8 minutes. Just as I exited the station, I saw the 🌅 (a type of flower).

    Hongcun, hailed as "a village in a Chinese painting," is a representative of Hui-style ancient villages. Its classic white walls and black tiles, horse-head gables, and flowing streams, especially the South Lake and the crescent-shaped Moon Pond, create a stunningly beautiful landscape. Strolling through the cobblestone alleys, one can feel the profound cultural heritage. However, the area is noticeably commercialized, and it gets quite crowded during the day; it's recommended to visit in the early morning or evening for a more tranquil experience.

    I initially thought all the ancient villages in Huizhou were pretty much the same—the architecture was all in the Huizhou style, and the pace of life was very slow. But after visiting Chengkan, I found it was definitely worth it. One highlight was the ancient ancestral halls of Huizhou, and the other was the fish lantern show and fireworks at night! I was hesitant about the 100 yuan entrance fee at first, but I was so glad I went because the fish lanterns and fireworks at night were absolutely worth it!!!

    Pretty well organized, and we're only a group of foreigners there, but the staff are still attentive and trying to communicate. Worth visiting if you plan to go to Nanjing and can spend 2-3 hours there.

    The staff at the entrance were very welcoming. The ancient village streets were clean and tidy, with a rustic and tranquil environment. Faded couplets, colorful lanterns, and a strong sense of community filled the air. Fields were right next to the village, and elderly people were basking in the sun and chatting on stone benches. There was a huge scarecrow in the fields… It's definitely worth a visit.

    Having long admired Huizhou Ancient City since Nanjing, I finally made it! 😊 I was a little worried it would be the kind of tourist trap that's all hype, but from the moment I stepped off the high-speed train, Shexian County was surprisingly clean and refreshing. 👍 I strolled around the ancient city that evening; it wasn't crowded, which I liked. Wandering through the alleys, I felt the true essence of the ancient city emerge. ❤️ The next day, I slept in until I naturally woke up; the weather was fantastic! ☀️ The ancient city has a different feel during the day. Every shop displays its own flag, especially in the alleys, which have a unique charm. Remember to look back as you leave—you'll always find a delightful surprise! 😁😁 Remember to make a reservation for the Huizhou History Museum. Entry is easy—just tap your phone to enter! 👍👍 The museum is small but truly excellent. I recommend visiting the museum first, then exploring the ancient city!

    Qiyun Mountain is easy to climb; even people with average physical strength can easily reach the top. The cable car takes you directly up, where you can see the auspicious and prosperous plantations on the ground. There is a river with beautiful scenery on both sides, and the mountain itself is also very pretty and picturesque, unlike the precipitous Huangshan Mountain. It's a completely different style.
