As I said, you should climb Huangshan at an off-peak time. Not only are there fewer people and the scenery is beautiful, but the housing prices are also cheap. It is also convenient to come from the Yangtze River Delta region. The only problem is that local taxi fares are relatively expensive, and the cost of scenic area tickets plus the cable car is not cheap either.
Overall, it's a great summer getaway, perfect for a stroll and a look. Highly recommended.
Scenery: Excellent
Fun: Perfect for the whole family
Value: Excellent value. The night view is also fantastic.
I've always wanted to visit Huangshan, and this year I finally got to do it.

The city’s landmark is of great significance: Standing on the top of Snake Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Yellow Crane Tower is Wuhan’s iconic building, embodying the city’s spirit and witnessing the city’s development and changes.
I rarely leave reviews, but this time was an exception.
First, the hotel service was excellent.
When I checked in, the front desk lady noticed I'd only ordered one breakfast, but after learning I was a group of three, she offered to bring me two. The hotel has a large staff, friendly, and efficient staff. Every time I entered or left the hotel, they greeted me. Calls to the front desk were answered immediately. Room supplies were quickly delivered.
Second, the hotel is in a great location, about 2 kilometers off the highway, and 2-3 kilometers from Wennan Old Street. The rooms are new, the environment is nice, and the amenities are comprehensive. I won't go into detail about this; it was basically as described in the description.
Finally, let's talk about breakfast. I went down around 8:00 AM, and it wasn't crowded. The food was varied and delicious.
I can say that the five stars are for the hotel's service and the front desk lady, and these comments are truly heartfelt. Judging from the value for money, there's really nothing to complain about.

Before I went there, many people on the Internet said it was not worth going, but after I went there, it was very worth it. The scenery is beautiful and the architecture is unique. It feels like I have been to a fairy tale drama. Although the snack street is commercialized, the prices are still reasonable.
The design of Wangxian Valley is quite successful, seamlessly blending in with the authentic mountains and water. Remarkably, despite constant renovations, it hasn't disrupted visitors' enjoyment. I visited last November and returned again this past April, and I haven't experienced any signs of fatigue. Visiting Wangxian Valley is essential in the afternoon to fully appreciate its beauty. Wait until nightfall, when the lights come on and the view of the cascading stars hanging from the cliffs is truly breathtaking.

Autumn Drying: Huangling's autumn harvest is a truly unique sight. Hundreds of Hui-style dwellings are staggered across a slope with a hundred-meter drop. As the sun rises above the mountains, the colorful harvests of the harvest are displayed on the drying racks and in the round drying plaques of the Hui-style dwellings throughout the mountain village, creating a unique agricultural spectacle. Red peppers, yellow corn, purple eggplant, and other fruits, like nature's overturned palette, adorn the ancient village with a picturesque ambiance.
Terrace Flower Sea: Take a cable car ride up and overlook the vast terraced flower fields, a breathtaking display of vibrant colors that blanket the mountains. In spring, the rapeseed blossoms are a sea of golden yellow, like a golden ocean; in autumn, the terraced fields and the ancient village complement each other, creating a natural, idyllic oil painting.
Huaxi Water Street: This is Huangling's signature attraction. The entire street is covered in water mist, and the flowers along the street are enchantingly beautiful in the mist, creating a fairyland-like experience. The gurgling stream, accompanied by the surrounding Hui-style buildings, creates a unique Jiangnan landscape.
Hui-style Architecture: Huangling preserves a large number of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, representing a prime example of Hui-style architecture. The stone, brick, and wood carvings are exquisitely crafted. The area boasts a complete collection of cultural institutions, including opera stages, water-mouth forests, academies, and ancestral halls. Strolling through the area feels like stepping back into ancient times, allowing you to deeply experience the profoundness of Hui culture.

I couldn't get a ticket at the last minute, so I chose this guided tour. The tour guide, Zhizhi, was so good. My child and I were completely focused and followed closely throughout the whole tour! This was the first time I heard such a good explanation on site. I have to give it a thumbs up 👍
Teacher Jiang Wenyi was very knowledgeable and his explanations were vivid and easy to understand. He gave me a deeper understanding of the story of Mawangdui. Highly recommended! Both the elderly and children enjoyed the lecture very much! Very satisfied!

I went to check out the night view the night before, and bought a ticket to the pavilion the next morning. It was 38 degrees Celsius, and I took a sauna. The setting sun and the solitary wild goose flew together, and the autumn water and the sky were the same color.
The 50 yuan ticket to visit Tengwang Pavilion at night is more valuable than the ticket to visit Tengwang Pavilion during the day. It is a great place to take the children to check in. Standing on the attic overlooking the scenery on both sides of the Ganjiang River is very beautiful and very photogenic!

Lushan is picturesque and particularly beautiful. It is definitely worth a visit. This should be the most beautiful mountain near Wuhan. Of course, the cost is also high, but the scenery is really beautiful.
The ticket to Lushan is not expensive, but there is a cable car, sightseeing bus, small train, and some trains, all of which need to be purchased, especially to go to San Diequan. You have to go up and down the same way, climb the stairs, and climb until you doubt your life. It is said to be more than a thousand, but it really feels like climbing to the end. We went to San Diequan after climbing the five peaks. It was from 7 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the evening because the sightseeing bus stopped at 7 o'clock. The ticket can be used repeatedly, but you have to pay for the cable car once you use it. My physical strength is limited, so I booked a two-day trip and only went up and down the mountain for one day.

The typical Hui-style village landscape, with its Nanhu Lake and Yuezhao, elevates Hongcun's architectural design compared to other villages. The idea of "a step back, a waxing moon, a waning moon" is ingrained into our daily lives. There were quite a few students painting; next time, they could bring pen and paper for some sketching and pass the time.
However, as a 5A scenic spot, it could certainly add some intangible cultural heritage experiences, such as woodcarving and root carving workshops or fish lantern making. Otherwise, it's just a stroll without any fun, which feels a bit lacking.
The parking lot is often full, a testament to Hongcun's popularity. Hongcun's South Lake is particularly beautiful, bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder. Check-in photos are everywhere.

The scenery is beautiful and unique. It's also very cool up the mountain, a great summer retreat. The cool breeze is very comfortable, and the climb isn't tiring. However, the management of the cable car up and down is a bit poor and needs to be improved.
The second stop was Sanqingshan, a place with a ethereal aura and breathtaking scenery. The west coast was under renovation, so I took the middle loop to avoid exhaustion. The Oriental Goddess, the Giant Python, and the Penguin Presenting Peaches are must-sees.

A trip to Jiuhua Mountain is a journey of mental and physical hardship, physical exhaustion, and even physical deprivation. Although we took a bus and a cable car, after the cable car, we still had to hike for 60 minutes (with a 30-minute break) to reach Datiantai Temple. The steep climb was a physical and mental exercise.
It is convenient to purchase tickets on Ctrip. Just show the QR code when checking the ticket. In addition to the bus ticket going up and down the mountain, you can also take the mountain shuttle bus from Huxingshan Station to Wolshenbojeon, Tiantai and other scenic spots.
