Mount Huangshan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
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
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!
Special Forces Huangshan Trip: Easy Pitfall Avoidance Guide

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 Mar)
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~
.
Here are a few small things I recommend doing in Hongcun

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 Mar)
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
The peach blossoms are still laughing in the spring breeze, Xidi Village is the ancestral home of the Hu family, the first article of the surname culture
The winter is cold and dry, it is suitable to travel to Xidi, write Ctrip notes 📓 photos and text are equally important, hehe 🤭
Xidi Village is located 8 kilometers east of Yi County.
Known as the "Chinese Ming and Qing Dynasties Residential Museum", Xidi is the ancestral home of the Hu family.
During the Song Yuanfeng period (1078~1085), their ancestors moved from Wuyuan to settle here. By the Ming Wanli period, a local official named Hu Wenguang, who served as the governor of Jiaozhou and the chief historian of the Jingwang Mansion, made the Hu clan here prosperous. By the Qing Dynasty Daoguang period, one of the six wealthy men in the south of the Yangtze River, Hu Guansan, pushed it to its peak.
The village has nearly 600 magnificent houses, two main streets, 99 alleys, crisscrossing, winding and deep, like a huge maze. There are 800 households with stoves, more than 90 wells, 3000 men, and a population of nearly 10,000. This place is full of talented people, not only cultivating big businessmen, but also creating a group of talented scholars.
Such as the famous book and painting collector Hu Jitang in the Qing Dynasty, the three scholars Hu Dianyuan, Hu Jiakai and Hu Tengkui who signed on Kang Youwei's "Public Car Shangshu", and Huang Xingxian who founded the Chongde Women's Vocational School in the 32nd year of Guangxu.
Xidi Village retains many unique features of ancient China in the Middle Ages.
The grand and exquisite Ming Dynasty Hu Wenguang Governor's Arch stands tall at the entrance of the village.
There are 122 colorful Qing Dynasty residential buildings in the village:
1. The elegant and bookish Lufu Hall built during the Kangxi period;
2. The unique and exquisitely carved Taoli Garden built during the Xianfeng period;
3. The colorful building where the daughter of the Daoguang ten years played the color ball.
In addition, there are Jingai Hall, Ruiyuting, Xiyuan, Dunrentang, Dujingtang, Zhenshixiaozhu, etc.
There are magnificent houses, elegant halls, exquisite gardens, door frames made of marble and exquisite stone carved door covers.
Most of these residences are rectangular courtyards, some with two entrances, some with three entrances, with patios in front of the halls, and side rooms across the courtyard.
The interior is carved with beams and painted with colors, railings, brackets, window fans, lotus doors, and there are exquisite wood carvings everywhere.
Xidi is a long village built by Jiaxi River, with flowing water in the middle, streets and alleys connected by bridges, and the overall integrity of the architectural community is good, giving people a sense of compactness and exquisiteness.
Hu Yuanxi, a member of the Hu clan in Xidi, recorded the grand scene of the "Jingai Hall" genealogy ceremony in Xidi in the Qing Dynasty Daoguang Bingxu year (1826) in the article "Repairing the Hu Clan Genealogy".
This is the road, the entrance and exit are the doors, solemn and solemn, showing no end to the end
To the sky, running in the temple, stumbling and stumbling, this person is respectful and righteous.
The above text is the origin, glory, life pursuit, family rules, and all the artistic display of the Hu clan in this specific space of the clan genealogy.
Hanging in the Jingai Hall is said to be the big "filial piety" written by the great scholar Zhu Xi, with vivid strokes, the left side looks like a filial son kneeling and saluting, and the right side looks like a sharp-mouthed and shrunk monkey.
It means that filial piety is a human son, and unfilial piety is a beast, which makes people feel the majesty and power of clan moral education.
Must see! 5 things you must know when going to Huangshan & Hongcun in Anhui!
Anhui's famous attractions: Huangshan & Hongcun✔️ are picturesque and worth a special trip‼️ The environment there is also very suitable for vacationing and relaxing‼️ However, climbing Huangshan requires a strong physical reserve, and lazy people naturally choose the cable car for the whole journey‼️ Next, I will talk about the 5 things you need to pay attention to when traveling there✍🏻 Take notes‼️
-
First thing
There is a newly opened high-speed rail station near Hongcun! Yi County East Station!
After leaving the high-speed rail station, a 35-minute taxi ride can reach the Hongcun scenic area!
-
Second thing
The Hongcun scenic area is not too big, and it can be visited in half a day✔️
The scenery inside is very good, photographers/ portrait lovers can linger inside for a whole day📷
But the accommodations inside the scenic area are all small inns, with relatively ordinary conditions! If you need a high-end hotel with good conditions, you have to stay outside the Hongcun scenic area✔️
-
Third thing
The journey from Hongcun Scenic Area to Huangshan Scenic Area is 35 minutes🚘
The accommodation conditions on Huangshan are relatively backward and expensive. All supplies are carried by manpower, so the price is naturally high. But if you want to watch the sunrise and take pictures of the starry sky, you can only choose to stay on the mountain. Most budget tourists will choose to go up the mountain early in the morning and come down in the evening.
-
Fourth thing
Huangshan has many trail scenic spots, which will be opened and closed for maintenance in turn. There will be announcements at the ticket office. Strong hikers can walk to various attractions on their own. Lazy tourists who don't want to hike can take a cable car to the mountain and look around, don't try to hike to those dangerous peaks that can only be reached by walking. Anyway, I am lazy, I just take the cable car to look around, drink tea, take the cable car down the mountain, the scenery is still beautiful, and I am not tired.
-
Fifth thing
There is also a bundled attraction around Huangshan· Xidi Ancient Town.
This ancient town is indeed an ancient town, but it is indeed very deserted. There are a few residences of famous people from the late Ming and Qing Dynasties that can be visited (but the original residents live in the old houses!) There is an admission fee for entering Xidi Ancient Town! There are not many interesting shops inside, and you can't find too many good food and drinks. Emmmmmm In short, I think this ancient town is more chicken ribs, unless you are really idle, you can go and see, otherwise I still recommend staying in the comfortable Hongcun scenic area. The scenery is not on the same level.
The Huizhou that comes next is a poetic and picturesque paradise in spring
If you ask me about the most unforgettable and lingering destination in spring, I would answer Huizhou in late March.
Black tiles, white walls, the green and misty rain, the golden yellow and peach red
Four ancient cities
Five colors of mid-spring
Roaming under the soft and gentle sky in the poetic countryside, why yearn for 'a place of utter devotion' when springtime in Huizhou is the best dreamland
Shot between March 18-24 last year
Main locations:
1⃣️ Wuyuan Jiangling
2⃣️ Hongcun
3⃣️ Xidi
4⃣️ Shitan and Xia Tai Village
5⃣️ The roads from Huangshan to Xidi, Huangshan to Wuyuan, and Jixi to Shitan
A trip of about five or six days is suitable, and the rapeseed flowers will also be in full bloom during this time

|The most worthwhile treasure secret in Huizhou ancient village. Anhui Chengkan| The most worthwhile treasure secret in Huizhou ancient village
✨I would like to call Chengkan the ceiling of Anhui ancient villages
The scenery of Chengkan is indeed better than Hongcun without being overly commercialized, giving a more atmospheric and experiential feel when touring
Chengkan satisfies all your fantasies about Huizhou ancient towns
🍃Small bridges and flowing water, winding paths leading to secluded spots, large courtyards, ancient trees and lotus ponds..... Wandering through the carved beams and painted buildings, the ancient lanes
The distant white clouds and beautiful peaks are like a painting, serving as a clear backdrop. At the end of the alley, a sudden open view of the ancient bridge and lotus pond comes into view. Crossing the ancient bridge, you can see Anhui's famous rural landscape "Sun-drying Autumn"
✌️Chengkan, originally named Longxi, is known as "the first village in the south of the Yangtze River" and "the hometown of national treasures". It is the only well-preserved Ming Dynasty ancient village in the country, gathering different architectural styles of Huizhou and "three carvings", and also has the beautiful wish for tourists of "touring Chengkan without any obstacles in life"
⛳Address: No. 78, Baolun Road, Huizhou District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province
🎫Ticket: 107 (discounts available for staying in Chengkan)
🚃Transportation: There is a passenger transport center next to Huangshan North Station to go to Chengkan
Leaving blank is also a lifestyle‖Chengkan
16 kilometers away from Huangshan North Station, it has the reputation of "No mountain in the world after climbing Huangshan, no pit in life after visiting Chengkan". Chengkan is famous for its "wind" and "water", here preserves the traditional white walls and black tiles of Huizhou dwellings, the beautiful lotus pond moonlight of Pinghu stone bridge, and the characteristic autumn drying square makes it beautiful and spicy.
This is selected by National Geographic as the modern "Qingming Shanghe Tu"
Walk through Chengkan without pits in life, this seriously underestimated ancient town is not inferior to Hongcun, it is very comfortable without being commercialized. If you come to Huangshan, you must go to Chengkan.
Transportation: You can take a bullet train from Shangrao to Huangshan North Station for 48 minutes. After getting off the train, you can charter a car or take a taxi to Chengkan (30 minutes away).
Travel Guide
1 Chengkan is a small and sparsely populated scenic spot, it is not inferior to Tuling and Hongcun. Instead of crowding people, it is better to come here to feel the comfort of the real Jiangnan.
2 You can stay in Chengkan scenic spot at night, the cost performance is relatively high, so you can get up early to take pictures basically no one!
3 Hongcun still retains the ancient houses of the Song and Qing Dynasties, which makes people dream back to the Song Dynasty. 4 Here is full of Chinese style elements, small bridges and flowing water, spring river water warm duck prophet, bamboo raft ripples, thousand-year-old houses, Jiangnan water towns and other words can be found here.
Photography
1 Strongly recommend to take pictures of national style Hanfu here, very out of the picture
2 Long focus and drone shooting from different angles are also very out of the picture
Ticket‖Chengkan ticket 100 people can enter multiple times Chengkan
This ancient village that 90% of people don't know about, you must come!
Most people only know about Hongcun in Anhui, including myself, but it wasn't until I came here that I realized how unforgettable Chengkan is.
It is said that this is a gossip feng shui village with a unique name, "You Cheng Kan Yi Sheng Wu Kan", which has a special meaning. It is not as commercialized as Hongcun and has a more primitive atmosphere. There are also very few people, truly avoiding the crowds. It is not very big inside, and you may not need to stay in a hotel. You can finish exploring in two hours. We stayed at Shude Tang Hotel and felt that the privacy was very good. Tourists cannot enter from outside, and you can take photos all day inside.
Living here, you can occasionally hear the sound of a bell ringing. Upon inquiry, I found out that it is the "Peace Bell" in the scenic area. When it rains, it is very quiet here and there are not many tourists. You can only hear the occasional calls of the old actor geese brothers.
Perhaps, for people like us who enjoy peace, leisure, and admiring scenery, this place is just perfect. After the rain, mist lingers around the distant mountains, reflecting against the white walls and tiles, while nearby trees are lush and green, and lotus leaves emerge from the water. Sitting at the hotel entrance, one can spend a whole day watching a few big white geese swim around. Here, wearing a qipao and taking photos, holding an oiled-paper umbrella and strolling around, one can easily capture the feeling of Jiangnan's misty rain.
Staying at the hotel includes tickets and breakfast. If you come to play, the ticket seems to be 100/person. The food at the hotel is quite delicious, and the breakfast is simple and exquisite. There are many rooms of different sizes and styles, with prices above 1000. If it weren't for going to other places, I really want to stay for a few more days. We also took a lot of photos, and it feels like we can't post them all.
If I have the chance, I would like to bring my parents here for a visit. It's a great place to relax and unwind.

Huizhou Ancient City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Rapeseed flowers-Huizhou
They are as graceful as a watercolor painting, reflecting the typical spring atmosphere in the area. Early spring is still chilly with cold breezes and showers, and the rapeseed flowers are like the ushers bringing the warm spring.The best time is Mid-March to April.The best thing about this adventure is that you can view this whilist in a boat along the river.Nothing beats this feeling.I highly recommend this place
The ancient city of Huizhou is the epitome of modern people's imagination of ancient Huizhou life. It cannot be said that the cultural meaning of ancient Huizhou is much stronger than other places. Walking in the streets, the ancient buildings that have been preserved are telling the history of Huizhou.
I have never been a dream, I have no dreams to Huizhou. This is a thousand years of singer. For thousands of years, countless people have a deep love for Huizhou. She is like a black and white ink painting. She is exquisite and simple, it seems that every building They are telling the story of the ancient Huizhou people.
Dream back to Huizhou.
Compared to Hongcun, I have a greater fondness for this ancient Huizhou city that has stood for a thousand years
Tang Xianzu's phrase 'In a place where one's obsession ends, there are no dreams of Huizhou' has undoubtedly left countless people yearning in their souls and dreams. Yet, as one of the four great ancient cities, the presence of Huizhou ancient city seems somewhat weak. Its charm appears to be overshadowed by attractions such as the Yellow Mountains, Hongcun, and Xidi.
Tour Route
Huizhou History Museum - Nanqiao Tower - Huizhou Government Office - Ancient City Wall - Xu Guo Stone Archway - Hui Garden - Doushan Street - Yuliang Ancient Town (Yuliang Street, Yuliang Dam)
Key Spots to Visit
Huizhou History Museum
To the right of the entrance to the ancient city is a two-story museum that provides a detailed introduction to the history of Huizhou. Visiting the museum before strolling through the ancient city will give you a greater sense of immersion.
Huizhou Government Office
The Huizhou Government Office, built at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty's Yining period (617)
Xu Guo Stone Archway, also known as the Grand Scholar's Archway, erected during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, is the only eight-legged archway in China and is hailed as the 'Arc de Triomphe of the East'.
Hui Garden
To the north of the stone archway, there are attractions such as Renhe Building, the ancient opera stage, and Yudai Bridge. With its ancient charm, it is a great spot for Hanfu photography.
Doushan Street
For those interested in Hui-style architecture, this is a must-visit. A thousand-year-old ancient street that is 300 meters long, it features the Hui-style Wang family residence, Yang family courtyard, ancient private school Xu family hall, Pan family courtyard, and more. It was a gathering place for ancient Hui merchants, comparable to a Huizhou architectural museum.
Zhongshan Lane
This lane is the highest in the ancient city of Huizhou. Climbing the steps, you can reach the top of the mountain. Despite the lane's modest size, it is full of large, deep courtyards.
Yuliang Street
With a history of over 1200 years, it is known as the 'Origin of Hui Merchants'. Yuliang Ancient Street is nestled between mountains and water, with the entire street paved with uniform cobblestones and shops lining both sides. Ancient ancestral halls, traditional residences, and temples can be seen along the street.
Huizhou Snacks
When it comes to Huizhou cuisine, you must try the stinky mandarin fish and hairy tofu featured in 'A Bite of China'. Additionally, I would like to recommend stone mo (a type of dumpling), and Huangshan baked buns.
