Huangshan, also known as the Yellow Sea, was a short trip, so I only had one day. The scenery was stunning, and the sea of clouds was truly breathtaking. Only by being there can you truly appreciate the beauty of Huangshan. I recommend taking the cable car up and down Huangshan to conserve your energy and save your best for the most beautiful scenery.
On my third visit, I saw a sunrise I hadn't seen on my first two visits. It was truly picturesque. Each time I visit, I experience something different, as the scenery changes with the seasons. Huangshan was well worth the trip.

When visiting Wuhan, you absolutely must visit the Yellow Crane Tower, as depicted in books!
Overlooking the Yangtze River from the Yellow Crane Tower, so many events, past and present, become mere jokes. Its steel and iron structure mimics the ancient style, yet no trace of the cranes of yesteryear remains.
The Yellow Crane Tower was first built in the second year of the Huangwu reign of the Wu Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period (223 AD). After repeated reconstructions and destructions, it was rebuilt in 1985.
It's definitely a place worth checking in. The weather is hot so arrive before 5:20. The elevator costs 5 yuan per person to go to the top floor. You can see the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and walk down the floors. There are not so many people.

It is still worth visiting Shangrao. Although there are many people during the summer vacation, it is good that the people are dispersed in the valley. When the lights are turned on at night, it really feels like being in a fairy tale, very fairy 👍🏻
This man-made attraction is overly commercialized, but with the added lighting, it's quite nice at night. It's a great place for photography! Most young people go there for the photos. However, since photo studios are busy during the summer, one photographer often handles many clients in a single night, resulting in a somewhat shoddy production. This is a downfall for Wangxian Valley. If improvements aren't made, it will damage its reputation. I recommend planning your visit around 4 or 5 pm to focus on the evening and night views. During the day, Wangxian Valley is very hot and scorching, making it difficult to enjoy the scenery. A visit should only take three to five hours, as many activities take place at night. I also recommend staying in the small town outside the scenic area, which is quite convenient. Personally, I recommend avoiding accommodation on the mountain within the scenic area. It's so dark up there that it almost feels like the abode of the gods, so mortals should avoid it.

It is a very beautiful scenic area, an ancient village, located on the top of a mountain. You can take a cable car to get there and enjoy the scenery of autumn sun drying. There are performances at night, with bright lights and crowds of people. The Water Street and the Sky Street are very distinctive and worth visiting.
I took advantage of the end of summer vacation to bring my children to Wuyuan, and went to Huangling to sunbathe. I really got a tan, but the ancient village was really beautiful after nightfall. Thousands of lights were on, and a peaceful and ancient atmosphere enveloped the entire mountain village. It was worth the trip.

It is very spectacular, but unfortunately it is surrounded by high-rise buildings, which seriously affects the visual experience. I went there on a hot day and there were too many people. The air inside the Tengwang Pavilion, especially the stairwells going up and down, was a bit poor. It is recommended to install a ventilation system.
Climbing the Tengwang Pavilion is like stepping into the pages of Wang Bo's writings. Soaring eaves and angled corners pierce the clouds, while vermilion columns support a millennium of history. Gazing from the railing, the Gan River glistens like a silken thread, its sails dotted with sails still reminiscent of the past. The grandeur of "the setting sun and the solitary wild goose soaring together" is still vivid before our eyes, and the clarity of "the autumn water and the vast sky blend into one color" permeates our hearts. The carved beams and painted buildings of the pavilion are exquisite annotations of history; the gentle ringing of bronze bells on the eaves seems to whisper a dialogue between the past and the present. This place is more than just a building; it is a poetic landmark in the hearts of the Chinese people. Every brick and tile holds the echoes of the moonlight and cultural heritage of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

Entering from the west gate, the parking lot is very congested. Not recommended during summer holidays. After much hesitation, I decided to enter from the east gate. There are many elevators and many stairs. It's a bit far from the big durian. The underground palace is quite impressive.
It's worth a visit. Niu Shou Mountain is not particularly large. It is recommended to take a car up and walk down. The ticket does not include the car fare. The underground palace is the attraction that impressed me the most. It is very magnificent. I happened to run into the Sleeping Buddha performance. I was lucky! The tower next to it can be climbed. Each floor is similar, but the wind is very strong on the side, so you need to be careful to take your things.

It's very convenient to buy tickets on your phone. I picked up a paper ticket from a convenient self-service machine at the North Gate ticket hall. I simply presented my paper ticket to the staff for verification on subsequent rides. Traveling the Central and Western Lines of Lushan Mountain was not tiring at all. Boarding the sightseeing bus was almost instantaneous, and the ride was excellent. At each stop, someone tells you which bus to take. Just tell the driver when you get on board, and you're good to go. I did some research on the East and West Lines beforehand, and I never made a mistake or got on the wrong bus during my Lushan tour. Best of all, the ticket is valid for seven days, and children under 1.2 meters (3.5 feet) are free. It's a great deal! Those who claim to save money by taking the bus are actually worried about the extra time it takes. If you're traveling with elderly people and children and are on a tight schedule, I definitely recommend buying this sightseeing bus ticket. We spent two days on the mountain and took about ten sightseeing buses.
Lushan Mountain, located in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, is a famous mountain on the Chinese land known for its wonderful peaks and waters. Along this exquisite tour route, you will enjoy the majestic and beautiful scenery of Lushan Mountain. Starting from the Hanyukou in Nanxun, standing on the observation platform, the vast intersection of the Yangtze River and Xiangyang Lake has a panoramic view. Then, along the mountain road north, step into the flower path scenic spot, the quiet paths are full of flowers, the mountain flowers are full of flowers, and the mountains are full of flowers. Continue to go, climb the Wulao Peak, here the peaks are stacked, clouds and mist, as if entering a fairyland. When you climb the top, the strange peaks of Lushan have a panoramic view, the peaks are as beautiful as Dai, and the sky is surrounded by clouds and seas, which are breathtaking. To the east along Wulao Peak is Hanyang Peak, whose steep and strange rocky landscape is breathtaking. Then, entering the former site of the Lushan Conference, it not only witnessed the changes in history, but also made people feel the deep cultural heritage of Lushan. Continue to the southeast, to the bustling town of Guling, the bustling and natural blending in the mountains, is an ideal place to rest. Finally, follow the road around the mountain and reach Bailu Cave Academy. The ancient charm is long and the book fragrance is lingering. Walking through it, it seems to travel through time and space to feel the deep cultural heritage of ancient universities. After leaving the white deer cave, you may wish to go to the Lushan Tianchi and Botanical Garden, in the clear lake and lush vegetation, feel the spirit of Lushan. This line connects the wonderful peaks of Lushan, the beautiful water wonders and the deep culture, especially with the beautiful Qifeng as the soul, highlighting the extraordinary style of Lushan "the strange peaks in the clouds, the sky". Every scene is fascinating, as if in a flowing landscape painting, it is unforgettable for a long time.

Before going, I read the negative reviews online and was hesitant. Ultimately, to avoid any regrets, I went after climbing Huangshan and booked a night in a B&B. After the experience, I felt it was well worth it. While commercialized, the typical Hui-style architecture and 600-year-old water conservancy system are still very distinctive. The photos were also very photogenic, and I was lucky enough to capture a rainbow. Before going to Hongcun, I also visited Xixi South, which has received great reviews. I personally prefer Hongcun.
The Hui-style architecture is beautiful. Compared to more than a decade ago, it has become more commercialized, but this does not affect the scenery. The children who sketch, generation after generation, are always so energetic.

The cable car is very convenient for going up and down the mountain. The scenery of Sanqing Mountain is indeed beautiful, but the only drawback is that the queue for the cable car is too long, especially when going down the mountain. It is better to avoid the Jinsha Cableway.
The scenery is beautiful, and there are no unnecessary fees.
The plank road is gentle, with a variety of routes to choose from, suitable for people of all abilities.
The only drawback is that the signage is not clear, and the route guidance is not intuitive.

After looking around for a long time and choosing a place, I finally chose this one. It's really good. The owner is very welcoming. We had dinner at the hotel that night and I highly recommend the chicken soup. The room was also very clean. I hope to stay there again next time.
The ticket price for Jiuhua Mountain is 160 on various platforms, but Ctrip allows you to use points to redeem 5 yuan, which is particularly good. So when buying tickets, I first check Ctrip. The ticket price for Jiuhua Mountain is quite good. 160 includes all the major temples. The price-performance ratio is good. In addition to the ticket, there are also cable car tickets, which can be purchased on demand.
