We chose the Yungu to Yupingxia route, which felt very good. The overall trip was not tiring. We needed to hurry up a bit to go back and forth in one day. The Xihai Grand Canyon is still recommended. As for the small train, we did not have time to experience it. Overall, it was a very satisfactory trip.
Huangshan Mountain stretches approximately 40 kilometers from north to south and 30 kilometers from east to west, covering a total area of approximately 1,200 square kilometers, of which 160.6 square kilometers are within the scenic area. It is a national scenic area, a national 5A-level tourist attraction, and a nature reserve designated a World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site, a World Geopark, and a World Biosphere Reserve. It is hailed as a "paradise on earth" and "the most unique mountain in the world."

Hongcun, located in Yi County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, is a National AAAAA-level scenic spot and a World Cultural Heritage Site.[__LINK_ICON] Originally built during the Southern Song Dynasty, its ox-shaped layout has earned it the nickname "a village in a Chinese painting."[__LINK_ICON] Over 140 Ming and Qing dynasty dwellings remain, featuring Hui-style architecture with whitewashed walls and green tiles, and exquisite wood, stone, and brick carvings.[__LINK_ICON] Key attractions include Yuezhao, Nanhu Lake, and Chengzhi Hall, and it served as a filming location for the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."[__LINK_ICON]
I came to Hongcun for sketching.
Hongcun's scenery is perfect for photography and sketching, as well as exploring feng shui and visiting numerous historic buildings.
I learned about the culture and history while enjoying a leisurely pace of life over coffee, tea, and farm-style food (I recommend avoiding holidays). Overall, I think Hongcun is worth the price of admission. 😃

I read various reviews before coming here, and I can only feel it myself. This is my first stop in Anhui. Anyway, my family and I are quite satisfied, especially the back mountain and the viewing platform, which are really good.
It's not a very large scenic area, so I finished it quickly. I followed the group of students who were there to sketch and walked straight in. There was a beautiful square with mountains, water, a lotus pond, and autumn sun drying. I'll share two photos of Nanping Village, which I'm going to visit. I'm going to Wansong Bridge.

The scenic area is quite large and is divided into three parts. Entering through the main gate is a large autumn sun-drying square. Going out and entering again is a lotus pond and Hui-style buildings. Finally, there is a group of ancient villages. There is also an ancestral hall at the north gate hidden behind the residential area, which some people may not be able to reach. It is recommended to enter through the main gate for a clearer route.
The entrance fee, 103 yuan, is a bit pricey, but the scenic area is quite nice. There were very few people, which made the experience different.
The southern area is less crowded, while the northern area, with its villages, is more crowded.
There were supposedly fireworks in the evening, but I didn't wait until night to see them.
Some elderly women in the village would keep asking if they wanted a guide, telling them the village was like a maze and they'd get lost without one. Actually, there was no need, as there were signposts. This wasn't a very pleasant experience.

You can choose a hotel close to the Qiyun Mountain Visitor Center. You usually arrive at the Qiyun Mountain Visitor Center around noon or afternoon, so don't rush up the mountain and stay overnight.
The Qiyun Mountain Visitor Center offers free performances every evening from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM. You can choose to attend, and even those not staying at the Visitor Center can still enjoy free viewing. The finale, the Iron Flower Show, usually begins around 9:00 PM. Keep an eye on the official Qiyun Mountain news, which is updated weekly.
After the performance, rest well and ascend the mountain around 8:00 AM the next day. If you're hiking, it's recommended to stay near Dengfeng Bridge, as the trail departs from Dengfeng Bridge and the cable car departs at 8:00 AM, near the riverbank at the Visitor Center.
For those who aren't traveling with a family, a full Qiyun Mountain circuit, including the cable car, should only take 4-5 hours.
So plan your time so you can take the high-speed rail out that afternoon. I wish you all a wonderful trip.
I visited Qiyun Mountain, a Taoist holy land, 23 years ago and made a small wish. 24 years later, it finally came true. It's truly a magical mountain. 🌹🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌹I've been fulfilling my wish for 25 years, praying for peace and prosperity. 🙏🏾 The entire scenic area is well worth a visit, and the evening performances in the town are not to be missed. Qiyun Mountain has left me with wonderful memories. 👍👍👍

After returning to Hongcun, I took a walk around. Due to time constraints, I mainly walked around the city wall and the museum, and only touched on other places. It's okay as an additional project on the way, but it's not worth going there specifically.
As a 5A-rated scenic spot, I feel like it could be better! It's heavily commercialized, and the ancient buildings and historical sites have become secondary. However, the night view is great, with lanterns illuminating the scenery, and the view from the city wall is also quite beautiful.

Our group of 17, young and old, enjoyed free admission for children under four. Those aged 65 and over only had to purchase an 80 yuan boat ticket. Those aged 60 to 65 were half-price, while full-price tickets were 120 yuan. Children aged 6 to 18 were also charged 120 yuan. The remaining adults paid 120 yuan for both entrance and boat. The tour lasted nearly three hours and included a free viewing of the Nine Surnames Fishing Festival, a visit to the Hongzhuang Pavilion, and an optional ice sculpture world. The scenic beauty of the Xin'an River was breathtaking and truly captivating!
Xin'an River is the birthplace of ancient Huizhou civilization. It has a rich historical heritage and beautiful river views. You can enjoy the scenery along the way and learn about Huizhou culture. It is worth taking your children to study. Chinese civilization has a long history and these civilizations need to be protected and passed down from generation to generation.

Enter the South Gate and go up the mountain on the left. It's not difficult, the steps are gentle, and the children can jump up easily. I went there on the way from Huangshan North Station to Hongcun. Overall, it's okay. It's not hot on cloudy days, and the air in the woods is very good. There are two teahouses and cafes in the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon check-in spot ☕️ which are very unique. It's a good place to stop by on the way to Huangshan or Hongcun. I met several Huangshan residents who brought their children to climb the mountain.
Beautiful Natural Scenery: Mukeng Bamboo Sea, located in Xingguang Village, Hongcun Town, Yi County, Huangshan City, is a must-see destination in Huangshan. The evergreen forest stretches approximately 6 kilometers, and is surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides. After rain, the forest shrouds the landscape in mist, creating a fairyland. On sunny days, the bamboo waves surge like green waves. The observation deck offers a panoramic view of the bamboo sea and Mukeng Village, a truly breathtaking sight.

Located in Shendu Town, She County, in the mountainous region of southern Anhui Province, Yangchan Tulou is a small village nestled against the backdrop of the mountains. Most of the villagers are indigenous, and the village has a simple and unpretentious atmosphere. Dining at the mountain farmhouse is affordable and delicious. Stepping into the Tulou is like stepping back into a simpler era.
Before going up, I thought the fee was too high. After the roller coaster ride, I was immediately slapped in the face. They should make money. The earth building has a long history and is very primitive. The permanent population seems to be less than 200, and the village is full of grandpas and aunts. The place is very picturesque, but the mountain road is difficult to drive. You can go up and check in.
