Mount Huangshan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Huangshan
Huangshan, located in the southern part of Anhui Province, is one of the most famous mountainous scenic areas in China, and is also known as "the most beautiful mountain in China". Its steep peaks, peculiar pines, strange rocks, and unpredictable sea of clouds are hailed as the classic works of Chinese landscape. Below I will introduce you to the experience of playing in the Huangshan Scenic Area.
First of all, the magnificent peaks of Huangshan are one of the most attractive landscapes here. These include the famous "Four Wonders": strange pines, strange rocks, sea of clouds, and hot springs. During the tour, you can follow the steep mountain roads, climb the Lotus Peak, Guangming Peak, Shixin Peak, etc., and appreciate these unique natural landscapes from different angles. When you reach the top, you will deeply appreciate the magnificent scenery of "Climbing Huangshan, returning from Yueyang Tower empty-handed".
Secondly, the sea of clouds in Huangshan is known as the "first of the five wonders of Huangshan", with clouds and mists lingering, and the sea of clouds tumbling. When you are in it, you will feel like you are in a fairyland. Especially in the morning and evening, watching the sea of clouds is even more unique, as if you are in a fairyland.
In addition, Huangshan also has a rich and diverse plant landscape. In the lush scenery of the mountains, you can also appreciate various precious plants, such as Huangshan Rhododendron, Huangshan Ranunculus, etc., which give people endless surprises.
In addition, Huangshan also has many famous scenic spots, such as: West Sea, North Sea, Emei, Yuping, etc., each scenic spot has its unique charm. Here, you can also taste local delicacies on the top of the mountain and feel the different style of Huangshan under the sunset.
In general, the Huangshan Scenic Area is a tourist attraction where natural landscapes and human history are combined. It not only has magnificent natural beauty, but also has a long history and cultural heritage. Whether you are looking at the towering peaks or walking along the mountain trails, you can feel relaxed and happy, and forget the troubles of the world for a while. I hope you have the opportunity to go to Huangshan in person and experience this tranquility and magnificence.

Only after going to Huangshan, I realized that ink painting is too conservative
Only after going to Huangshan, I realized that ink painting is too conservative.
We caught the sea of clouds in Huangshan in February this year!
This is Huangshan after the rain, the mountain is full of clouds and fog. Under the wind, the clouds and fog sometimes cover the mountain and sometimes appear. Each interval is a few minutes, and you have to seize the opportunity to press the shutter during these few minutes! Taking a series of 'ink paintings' is really a unique experience
VANCE GOODMAN
A snowfall turns Huangshan into a fairyland on earth! Huangshan, a place that people long for
Transportation: Self-driving is the most convenient, and the highway conditions around Huangshan are very good!
:Public transportation directly to Huangshan North Station, do not take the taxi at the door, if you have booked a hotel or homestay, let them help you book a car for 30 per person.
You can also ask the boss to help book a car for normal travel
Food: Huangshan roast cake is a must-eat, the meat is thick and juicy, crispy and delicious! Stinky mandarin fish depends on the individual, anyway, I vomited after eating it, and there is also hairy tofu
Accommodation: The accommodation conditions on the mountain are very good, and the price is not expensive! But only one bed is given, there is no need to stay on the mountain if you don't watch the sunrise.
Route: Yuping cableway, start from there, Bright Summit~Welcoming Pine~Then to the cableway, it's almost a day like this, walking around.
:There is less food on the mountain, bring your own food, there are
Burgers for sale at the bottom of Bright Summit, very cheap. If you are hungry, you can replenish energy there.
:If you want to go to other places to play the day after climbing Huangshan, you can go to Hongcun, or Xidi, Lucun, but the distance is a bit far, you can also stroll around the foot of Huangshan.
Hurry up and arrange it, go and see the last snowfall of 2023 with your loved one!
During the tour, remember to bring enough warm clothes, gloves, scarves,
Warm babies, etc. are all necessary. If you have a drone, be
Sure to bring it, the photos taken will be very beautiful!

5️⃣What to wear in Huangshan in winter?
🧤The three-layer outdoor clothing method is essential, and be sure to wear a hat and gloves. Remember: you won't feel cold while moving, but you will feel cold no matter how you dress when you stop.
🔔Sweat-wicking inner layer: Synthetic fibers, wool, or silk tights
🔔Insulating middle layer: Fleece, wool sweater, down jacket as a second choice
🔔Wind and rainproof outer layer: Any windproof clothing will do (for good photos)
👟Shoes: Hiking shoes are the first choice, otherwise comfortable sports shoes. If you feel slippery, buy ice claws on the mountain
6️⃣Mountain bus is 19 yuan
🚌No matter where you come from (Tangkou Town, South Gate of Huangshan), you need to take the 19 yuan mountain bus. The bus transfer center is hard to find, it's recommended to use walking navigation (Xinguoxian Zhaixi Transfer Center). The downhill bus will stop at several points, which are displayed on the back of the ticket, don't get off at the wrong stop.
7️⃣Food and drink on the mountain are guaranteed
🍱Supplies on the mountain are hard to come by, so it's understandable if they're expensive. You can bring your own self-heating rice, biscuits, etc. Be sure to bring a thermos, there's free 40-degree warm water in the mountain's public toilets.
🔴Finally, climbing with a heavy load is tiring, it's best not to bring a suitcase. There are stairs to the nearest hotel after getting off the cable car, just bring a change of underwear.
I wander in the mountain ravines for thousands of miles, my life is free as the wind,
The mountain does not see me, I go to see the mountain~

Hongcun Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The ancient charm of Huizhou, the beauty of Hongcun
In the ancient villages of southern Anhui, Hongcun is undoubtedly the most famous and influential one. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a long ancient charm, revealing a strong artistic atmosphere everywhere. Walking into Hongcun is like walking into an ancient dream.
The stone road is winding and winding, and on both sides are the well-arranged Huizhou-style buildings, with white walls and black tiles, and every place exudes the charm of history. The residents here are hospitable, they will tell stories about Hongcun, as if they have traveled back to the old times.
In Hongcun, the most iconic sign is Nanhu Lake at the entrance of the village. The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding Huizhou-style buildings and the distant mountains. When there is sunlight, the lake is golden ripples, which is breathtakingly beautiful; in the rainy day, it is a charming landscape painting.
In addition to the scenery of Nanhu, the Moon Marsh shaped like a crescent is also a great attraction. Every tourist who comes to Hongcun will take a commemorative photo here.
As the New Year approaches, Hongcun also has many folk customs. Holding a lantern and shuttling through the ancient village, the strong New Year atmosphere lights up the streets and alleys.

In a place of absolute devotion, I dreamt not of Huizhou
In Huizhou, what I remember most is Hongcun. This is not my first time in Hongcun, but the last time I was here was in 2012. Yes, this visit is a return to the old place after 11 years. I still vaguely remember the scenery here, remember the photos taken on the Nanhu Bridge, which I used as my profile picture on the school network for a while. I remember the photos left by the moon marsh, and the Hui-style buildings with pink walls and black tiles, which bring me back to that green university era~
Once again in Hongcun, retracing the path I once walked, the boy of that year has finally grown up~

THEO ROGERS
Country in the painting - Hongcun
November is the most beautiful season in Hongcun. This year the weather is relatively warm, so the autumn colors in Ta Chuan are not strong enough. It takes more than 2 hours to get to North Huangshan from Hangzhou. It takes an hour to get to Hongcun by taxi. Stay in a homestay in the scenic area, which is cheap and good. Take a rest and stroll around the street, and have Huizhou cuisine for dinner. The night view of Yuezhao is recommended. Visit the scenic spots in the morning of the second day, check out at noon, and head straight to Huangshan...

Xidi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Huangshan/Yellow Mountain, Anhui, China
Getting There - Speed train to Huangshan Bei (North) station or fly to the Huangshan Airport. Then taxi or Didi to your hotel.
Attractions - Take a leisurely walk down Tunxi Old Street and enjoy the local cuisine, or visit one of the many restaurants or bars. FFFFF sandwich cafe has the best jaffles in town. Or visit Yungpu or Yungpi scenic area of Huangshan South scenic area (Yellow Mountain) via shuttle bus and then cable car up the mountain. We left our luggage at a local cafe and our luggage was well looked after. You can also visit the hot spring scenic area near the Huangshan South scenic area. If you enjoy visiting ancient villages, Hongcun and Xidi are worth visiting.
Hotels - Shanshui Boutique Hotel 山水间喜新恋旧 is a Japanese style hotel with Sushi restaurany and friendly, and helpful English speaking receptionist , Xiao Xi, on the shopping street and about 300m from Tunxi Ancient street. We also stayed at the Hongcun Scenic Hotel inside the Hongcun Scenic area. You can also stay on the mountain in Yungpi or Behai hotel, but it is quite a walk to get there, so pack lightly if you decide to stay on the mountain. There is also a nice hotel at the foot of Yungpu cable car area, but I don't know the name of the hotel.
Food & Restaurants - Too many in the area to single one out, many ranging from Korean, Japanese, street food to local Chinese cuisine.
Shopping - Local trinkets, tea, clothes and jewellery, depending on your taste.#newyearadventure

Xidi is truly exceptional when it comes to photography, with no pitfalls at all
🍃 Out of the three ancient towns, I chose Xidi and Hongcun to visit in one day. Compared to the crowded Hongcun where it's hard to find a good angle, Xidi is perfect for taking photos!
🌿 Moreover, Xidi isn't just about the residences; there's a vast expanse of farmland nearby that's really open and soothing, and it looks beautiful. The owner of the guesthouse said that if you come a bit earlier, it's all rapeseed flowers, which you can imagine must be stunning!
🏯 For those who appreciate culture, Xidi also fully satisfies. There are two large ancestral halls, old houses of famous merchants everywhere, and the archway at the entrance of the scenic area, where you can see the three treasures of Hui-style architecture all at once.
📷 For landscape photography enthusiasts, it's really important to choose a less crowded time to visit Hongcun. There are too many tour and study groups. The most photogenic spots like Nanhu and Yuezhao are always crowded, making it hard to get a clean shot.

Tianzhu Mountain Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
bizarre Drumstick Rock
along the Eastern Pass route of Tianzhu Mountain you will meet a bizarre rock, just on the side of Quanzhang Cliff, called Drumstick Rock.
It stands alone and upright, with the upper part thick and lower part thin.
This route is one of the best scenic area of Tianzhushan and very few tourists explore it.
They were doing a big renovation with brand new plank road.

Egg-shaped Rock & Dangxian Peak
There is special area in Tianzhu Mountain with two spots: Egg-shaped Rock (pic 1) is a huge rock cleaved into two parts, the small one is 1 meter in diameter and looks like an egg because of the different chromatic of its material and the weathering of the granite.
The Dengxian Peak (pic 2) is composed of medium-grained monzoic granite (128 million years) and is particular because it’s dense diagonal joints that gives the peak the appearance of an open fan.
