Spring Journey on the Ancient Huizhou-Hangzhou Trail
Date📅: March 9, 2024
Exploration route: Reverse journey on the Ancient Huizhou-Hangzhou Trail, starting from Yonglai Village in Lin'an, passing through the One-Line-Sky, Blue Sky Pit, Upper Xuetang and Lower Xuetang, Huangmaopei, finally arriving at the First Pass of Jiangnan, and ending at the Huizhou-Hangzhou Ancient Trail Visitor Center.
🚶♂️The reverse journey takes about 6 hours in total, covering a distance of 15KM, with an ascent of about 400 meters and a descent of about 800 meters (the reverse journey puts some pressure on the knees, while the forward journey is more physically demanding).
🌦With recent abundant rainfall, the streams and mountain gullies are brimming with water. On this rare sunny day, the warm sun feels like spring, the spring breeze caresses the face, the pool water is as green as jade, and the rushing streams are like snow, making it the most beautiful time for the mountain and wild scenery.
🍃Leave No Trace outdoors, everyone is responsible, let's protect the beauty of this natural place together.

The mountains are stacked and the sunset is lingering
In this beautiful mountain range, the mountains are stacked and the clouds are lingering. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook a tranquil lake. The lake is clear and bottomless, like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the surrounding mountains.
As the afterglow of the setting sun falls, the lake is dyed with a golden glow. The afterglow of the setting sun jumps on the lake, flashing golden light, as if countless little stars are twinkling. The ripples on the lake are also dyed gold, giving rise to layers of ripples, making people feel an incomparable tranquility and beauty.
On the mountain peak, snowflakes are falling down, like a group of light white butterflies dancing in the cold air. Snowflakes fall on the rocks, on the branches, and on the lake. The snowflakes on the lake are like laying a thin layer of white gauze on the mirror, adding a bit of mystery and pure beauty.
The surrounding mountains and trees are decorated with snowflakes, making them even more magnificent and tranquil. The afterglow of the setting sun and the falling snowflakes intertwine to form a beautiful and moving picture.

🚘This self-driving tour in southern Anhui in early winter,
Accidentally drove to Longchuan Village in Jixi Longchuan,

Travel alone to Jixi in Anhui and experience the county with the most authentic Huizhou atmosphere!
Jixi in Anhui is one of the national historical and cultural cities, and it was also the most important county in the ancient Huizhou Prefecture. If Shexian is considered the root of Huizhou, then Jixi must be the fruit of Huizhou. Many 'Gongfangming' such as Hui merchants, Hui cuisine, and Hui ink all originated from Jixi. With its beautiful mountains and clear waters, and its reputation for outstanding people and spirit of the place, how could one not visit Jixi? Traveling alone to Jixi in Anhui, to reminisce about the county with the most authentic Huizhou atmosphere, is a joy indeed!
1. Accommodation budget: Although Jixi's economy is not very strong, the cost of living is quite a bit higher than the surrounding areas. The accommodation environment is average, but the room rates are not low. Choosing a budget chain hotel costs 198 yuan per night, totaling 396 yuan for two nights.
2. Dining budget: In Jixi, not only is the hotel cost-performance not high, but the price of meals is also on the higher side. Fortunately, Jixi's Hui cuisine has a long-standing reputation, which is acceptable. The average dining cost per person in Jixi is around 110 yuan, with a total of 5 main meals and 3 breakfasts over 3 days. The 5 main meals cost 600 yuan, and the 3 breakfasts cost 90 yuan, making the total dining budget 690 yuan.
3. Ticket budget: Ziyuan in Jixi costs 20 yuan, Zhangshan Grand Canyon 54 yuan, Huizhou Ancient Trail 58 yuan, Longchuan Scenic Area 65 yuan, totaling 197 yuan.
4. Transportation budget: Jixi city has a smaller population, and public transportation is not very developed. It is best to rely on taxis for city transportation, and local drivers all charge a fixed price. The taxi fare from Jixi North High-speed Railway Station or Jixi County Station to the hotel is generally around 15 yuan. The taxi fare to Ziyuan is 25 yuan, to Zhangshan Grand Canyon 200 yuan (round trip), to Huizhou Ancient Trail 120 yuan, to Longchuan Scenic Area 50 yuan. There are direct rural buses to Zhangshan Grand Canyon, Longchuan Scenic Area, and Huizhou Ancient Trail, with ticket prices not exceeding 20 yuan, but the bus schedules are very limited and require a lot of travel, so it is not recommended to take rural buses. The transportation budget is 410 yuan.
The total budget for a 3-day, 2-night trip to Jixi is 396 yuan + 690 yuan + 197 yuan + 410 yuan = 1693 yuan.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, Longchuan is full of affection
Jixi's mountains and rivers meander, winding back and forth in nine bends.
Green pines grow in thousands of ravines, flowers and birds are hidden in paintings.
Phoenix crown overlaps with mountain ranges, thousands of charming and hundreds of charming seas.
Pavilions and terraces are full of elegant colors, and the tranquil meaning is suddenly clear.
Ancestral halls, schools and squares, farming and reading posts follow each other.
Exquisite carvings and rhymes are teaching treasures, exquisite pillars are timeless.
Accumulate thickly and send out thinly, literary strategy and military strategy drag.
Magnificent prosperity, style and material are heavenly treasures.

Zhangshan Grand Canyon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Stay at the Shuizhukeng Village B&B, and visit the Zhanshan Grand Canyon
Following the recommendation of two cycling friends on the Huizhou Sky Road, we rushed to Changxi Township in Shexian County, and cycled along the road beside the mountain canyon stream. The scenery along the way was indeed stunning. By combining driving and cycling, we reached a place of high mountains and beautiful waters, where the road markings turned into a three-colored rainbow line. There was a sign indicating that we were entering the Huizhou National Forest Park, an especially tranquil environment, which suddenly inspired us to stay overnight in a mountain village. We smoothly checked into a newly built four-story beautiful B&B, which was perfectly located by the stream passing through the village, at the center of a mountain village embraced by hills and water, enjoying a uniquely favorable location. Pulling back the curtains of the room, we saw a vast expanse of neatly arranged rapeseed flowers in the distance, and nearby, the babbling stream under the shade of ancient trees. The B&B owners were kind and generous, having done business in Shanghai for over a decade, and they proudly praised their hometown as the most beautiful place. In spring, one can see the mountains blooming with flowers, and in autumn, observe the mountains covered in red leaves, with the sound of mountain springs falling continuously to the ear, creating a poetic and picturesque atmosphere in all four seasons. Hence, the B&B was named 'Listen to the Water, Chant of the Maple'.
Our village, named Shuizhukeng Village, also known as Zhuxi Village, has a history of several hundred years dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. The villagers are hardworking and the local customs are simple and pure, making it a rather authentic ancient village.
After staying one night in the clean and new inn, the next day we visited the scenic spot 'Zhanshan Grand Canyon', 8 kilometers away from Shuizhukeng Village, and it was a trip well worth it!

Zhangshan Grand Canyon in Xuancheng, Anhui, is a great off-the-beaten-path destination for light trekking
⛰️ Also known as the Great Man Valley, Zhangshan Grand Canyon is located in Jixi County, southern Anhui. The canyon area has a very primitive ecology and is a natural oxygen bar. Inside the canyon, there are extremely clear streams and many interesting boulders. The round trip in the scenic area is about 5km, which is very suitable for families and beginners to have a light trek. After the trek, you can check in at Longchuan or Renli to experience the charm of Hui-style architecture.
👉 Tour route: Zhangshan Grand Canyon is a relatively mature scenic spot. Just follow the signs all the way to the exit and then back, a round trip of about 5km. The route follows a stream, and there are many places where you can play in the water. The water quality is particularly good, and you can rest by the stream and enjoy the scenery. The round-trip trekking time is about 2.5-3h, and it can be longer or shorter if you play in the water.
❤ Recommendation index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
📍 Navigation location: Navigate to Zhangshan Canyon Scenic Area (Jixi County, Anhui), about 4h drive from Shanghai
🎫 About tickets: Online tickets are 49 yuan, and offline tickets are 54 yuan
👉 About parking: Free parking near the entrance of the scenic area

Anhui Travel Recommendation | Zhan Mountain Grand Canyon only known by locals ||
||. Anhui Jixi
Local recommended attractions: Zhan Mountain Grand Canyon
Ticket + shuttle bus 💰 around 60 (cheaper to buy tickets on Ctrip than on-site), free admission with Jixi local ID card.
The shuttle bus will take you to a place in the mountain, then go to the well-maintained path next to the canyon, walk all the way to the end, and return to the ticket office.
It took us 1.5 hours to walk and take pictures all the way.
It is said that locals will come here to escape the heat and swim in the summer.
We who came in winter feel that the water is indeed very clear, constantly flowing living water. It's really beautiful, it's a pity that you can't play with water in winter.
Apart from the Huizhang Ancient Road, this place is highly recommended!

Kantou Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Start off at staggered times and take a walk on the mountain roads of Zhejiang and Anhui
The first stop is Kan Tou Village in Jixi, with streams, old people, stone roads, ancestral halls, cooking smoke, and cacti. The lost prosperity is faintly visible in the mottled moss, and the old walls influenced by etiquette and folk customs are calm and steady.
KAITLYN CARPENTER
Go to Kantou Village in southern Anhui to search for a thousand-year dream.
I recently went to Kantou Village in southern Anhui, on a journey full of mystery and fantasy. I heard that there is a thousand-year-old dream tree here, and many people come to search for it, traveling day and night. I am no exception. I took a car and a train to the small town adjacent to Kantou Village, arranged accommodation in the town, and prepared to set off the next morning.
Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, I packed my bags and took a bus to Kantou Village. People on the bus chatted and exchanged information, making a lively and bustling atmosphere to welcome the arrival of dawn.
Through a small path on the hillside, this road leads to the entrance of Kantou Village. In this small village, I feel like time has frozen hundreds of years ago. Glancing over, the thousand-year-old Dream Tree is not far away. As I approach, it is astonishingly huge. Looking up at the tree, the tree crown carved by nature rises up to the sky, its foliage dense and exuberant. In an instant, I feel an incredible shock.
A thousand-year-old tree, I wonder how many stories are buried inside, I wonder if it has experienced the precipitation of many years in ancient times, which makes me feel a sense of historical weight. This tree is too big, too tall. The eaves, tiles, and houses of the entire village are all under the cover of the millennium garden, echoing with ancient historical thoughts and traditional culture remaining in the village.
When I could no longer admire the thousand-year-old tree in detail, I walked to the center of the village where there was an ancient temple. This is the most beautiful place on this road, and it appropriately embodies an intangible faith. When I immerse myself in the peaceful temple and the purple micro-flower tree, I feel as if I can see the soul of this city.
The sunlight is still dodging above my head. Deep into the depths of the village, I discovered an ancient ancestral hall. Places like this have been precipitating the inheritance and traditional culture of ancient society for a long time, worn down by time, and walking towards the horizon of heritage.
My trip was only a few days, but I really felt the gentleness of the blooming flowers and the weight of the ancient city there. Kantou Village is not big, but it has its own ancient history and mysterious culture, like a thousand-year-old town.
I am grateful for this journey, because it has led me to discover the winding and ancient history, feel the charm of traditional culture, and discover many mysterious and interesting stories. Reading through historical classics, searching for millennium dreams, this is an experience that fills me with passion and soul, and also a memorable journey in my life.
