    Take the cable car up the mountain. It takes at least 3 hours to climb up. After taking the Yungu cable car up, go to Guangming Peak, then walk around the Welcoming Pine, and finally walk down the mountain from Yuping. It takes 7 hours.

    I really like the architecture of Hongcun. South Lake and Moon Pond complement the architecture perfectly, adding to its beauty. There are also many small shops to explore. We stayed there, and the night view was even more beautiful.

    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.

    It's a very lively scenic area. The outside is free, but it's become quite commercialized. You need to buy a ticket to enter the government office (州衙). Inside, you can climb the city walls and see the gardens. The government office itself is quite nice, and there are even court trial performances, so it's worth watching.

    The scenery along the Xin'an River is breathtakingly beautiful, making it an excellent place to heal the soul. The boat ticket and attraction package for 138 yuan purchased online is great value for money, and the scenery is comparable to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Thumbs up and highly recommended.

    Luckily, I checked the travel guide a day in advance and decided to take a taxi to the West Gate to enter. This way, you only need to climb a bit at the beginning, and then it's all downhill. Perhaps because it's autumn, it wasn't as green as I had imagined. The food in Mukeng Village was quite good; everything was grown and raised by the locals, and it tasted like something from my childhood.

    I was truly amazed by Xixinan!! More pristine than Hongcun, more tranquil than Xidi, and best of all, it's free! Discovering this verdant wonderland at the foot of Huangshan Mountain feels like stepping into a poetic painting of ancient Huizhou.
