The weather was quite cold but there were still many tourists. Cableway B is longer, with 6-7 sections, while Cableway A is shorter. We went up by Cableway B and down by Cableway A. It was not tiring at all and very relaxing. We finished the tour in 1 hour. It was cold on the mountain. We drank a pot of hot tea and went down the mountain in 1.5 hours.
1. The price for makeup and styling at the foot of the mountain is the same at 168 RMB for adults (128 RMB for children). Going up the mountain is more expensive 🥹! They all do assembly-line makeup (there's no question of whether it looks good or not), and the clothes are all the same, so any one of them is fine (I went into every one and asked) [cute R]; there aren't many options for children's makeup and styling, as not every one has nice children's clothes 😇.
2. For photos, choose the one up the mountain; it's more expensive down there. #HuanglingFollow360😤! A shop downstairs at #HuanglingWaterStreet is 199 RMB for a 20-minute follow-up (30 RMB for 10 RMB), which is a much better deal 🥳. I went to the first shop upon entering the scenic area and set up my own set for 5 photos for 100 RMB (although the photos turned out great), but when I walked in and saw this shop, I immediately felt like I'd missed out 😤! 3. There's no need to stay on the mountain. I called all three hotels there at this time, and each one said they didn't include entrance fees to the scenic area. 😒 Also, the mountain path is difficult to navigate, so consider carefully if you're lugging luggage. While taking photos from the hotel's upper floors is nice, non-guests aren't allowed up there. Consider your needs accordingly. 🤩
4. There are many well-known accommodations at the foot of the mountain, and they all include shuttle service to the scenic area. 🥳 Staying at a hotel halfway up the mountain saves you the cable car fare, which requires a 10-kilometer hike to the entrance of the scenic area, which I find even more inconvenient. The #HuanglingScenicArea ticket is 120 yuan, and the cable car is 145 yuan (round trip), saving you 20 yuan and leaving you stranded. 🫣
5. Eating is all on the street across from the scenic area at the foot of the mountain. There's no other food options elsewhere; that's the only developed area. 🤭 The street near the road is okay, but the ones inside aren't. #AlleyRestaurant (super bad) 🤯! There's not much food inside the scenic area, just drink shops. 6. There's really nothing much to do here, and it's all man-made, but the photos are amazing! 🥰 Daytime photos are better than nighttime ones, so I recommend going up the mountain during the day.
7. I stayed at Wuyuan Shifen Shiman B&B (Huangling Resort Branch). I highly recommend the service! They included a fruit plate! There were also snacks in the room! They said breakfast was for two, but the owner let us eat with a group! 🥹 The amenities are all smart, and best of all, they're pet-friendly! There's also a small gift upon check-out. The only downside is that it's on the roadside, so there's the sound of passing buses in the mornings, but I don't think it's a big deal. For 240 per room, why would you even need a bicycle? 😙
8. Regarding point 7, the restaurant across from the hotel is absolutely delicious! It's even better than the one across from the scenic area! 😍
9. Note: #WangxianValley, #Wunuzhou, #Huangling, and #Gexiancun are not the same place; they're all about an hour's drive apart! 😅! Only Shangrao and Wuyuan have bullet train stations; the others require #DidiChuxing! The best route is Huangling (daytime fun) → Wunuzhou (night stay) → WangxianValley (day two) → Gexiancun (day three). I went the wrong way and missed Gexiancun.

The Chengkan Scenic Area is quite large. If you enter from the Yongxing Lake entrance, you will directly enter the core scenic area. Unfortunately, the lotus flowers are about to wither. The Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture of Huizhou is quite distinctive. From brick carving, contemporary carving to wood carving, the three carvings are exquisitely crafted and the techniques are skillful. From a distance, it looks like a painting, and from a close look, it looks like a scene. The characters are lifelike, and the stories are vivid and have profound meanings. From north to south, it is a circle. The golden sandalwood pillars, the fire-proof design of the residential houses, etc. are indeed unique. It is worth spending 2-3 hours there!
Chengkan Ancient Town has the most expensive entrance fee near Huizhou...
But the scenery inside is also quite beautiful for taking photos...
Especially the fish lantern show at night...
If you don't want to watch it, you can buy a separate ticket...
The overall service level at the scenic spot is average. While it's clear they're trying, the management is limited...
For example, the signage and parking lot aren't very well-maintained...

We took a combined ticket to Sixi, Rainbow Bridge, Likeng, Jiangwan, Moon Bay, and Huangling. Sixi and Rainbow Bridge were the best. They were quiet. At Rainbow Bridge, you can swim and soak your feet. It was beautiful and you could smell the scent of freedom. Huangling was also nice. I took the cable car up and walked down the mountain, which felt very free. It was just a little crowded.
Although it's not rapeseed blossom season in March, I still couldn't help but marvel at nature's wonders. There are two routes from the base of the mountain to the summit. The first route follows the navigation (after passing the ticket gate, it leads directly to Observation Deck No. 1). The descent, guided by a local, passes the most beautiful observation deck. There's also a scarecrow park nearby; I recommend visiting when the sun isn't too strong to take photos. From the base to the summit, various B&Bs are lined up along the way, generally quite affordable. At the summit, there's a four-star B&B. The infinity pool was my main attraction, but unfortunately, it was under maintenance during our visit. If you want to see the sunrise, sunset, stars, and sea of clouds, I recommend staying at the top, where most of the properties are single-family and cost a bit more. The following image is a direct translation from the observation deck.

When we entered the scenic spot early in the morning, it was shrouded in fog and the terraced fields were barely visible. At 11 o'clock, the sun came out, revealing the golden rice fields, layer upon layer, emitting bursts of rice fragrance. We took countless photos. It is more suitable for drone photography. You can drive to the mountain by yourself without taking a taxi.
Lishui Yunhe Rice Terraces Review
The Yunhe Rice Terraces in Lishui truly live up to their reputation as "China's Most Beautiful"! Over 700 ridges cling to the mountainside, winding from the foot of the mountain to the clouds, layer upon layer like the fingerprints of the earth. In the early morning, a sea of clouds sweeps over the rice ridges, and as the morning light filters down, the paddy fields transform into a mirror paved with shimmering gold, reflecting the birds and smoke from cooking fires. The scenery changes with each season. In autumn, the rice paddies sway in golden waves, and the fragrance of rice mingles with the mountain breeze. Every shot is a breathtaking spectacle, a true paradise for photography enthusiasts.

I arrived at an unfortunate time. The bad weather forecast was fine, and it was fine at the foot of the mountain, but once we got to the top, winter suddenly arrived, with wind and rain. Sandiequan was also closed. I arrived late on Monday and left early on Wednesday, and the old site was closed on Tuesday, so I didn't get to see it. The mountains were so foggy that I couldn't see anything from Hanpokou. From Wulao Peak to the Fourth Peak, I felt like I was being blown to the foot of the mountain. It was all white and I couldn't see anything. I finally made out a vague shadow at Ruqin Lake after my third visit. I spent two nights in the mountains, and it felt like I was there, but it also felt like I wasn't. I'll come back with the kids on a nice day.
Although Lushan Scenic Area is less popular than it used to be, the natural resources and scenery remain the same as they were years ago, making it well worth a visit. There are countless stories of humanity here, both cherished memories for the elderly and stories that young people need to know.

Daciyan Scenic Area
Jiangnan Hanging Temple - The main hall, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Hall, is half-embedded in the rock, similar in structure to the Hanging Temple on Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi. The wooden plank road extends through the air, offering a thrilling and adventurous experience.
Natural Standing Buddha - A 147-meter-tall natural Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stands on the side of the main peak. At sunrise, its hands glow golden, earning it the title of China's largest natural standing Buddha.
It's absolutely beautiful! It's a great hike—tiring but manageable. You can take the cable car or the dry trail down. I recommend the cable car for the views, but it's worth the hike. The scenery is stunning! I can't believe how beautiful it will be in the fall when the ginkgo leaves turn yellow.

After all, there are not many old, pure ancient villages now, and it is rare to see so many ancient mansions in one village. Two hours are enough just for sightseeing. If you stay, you can experience the tranquility and peace. However, the room in the homestay you choose should be spacious so that you can relax your body and mind.
In autumn, Guifeng Village is a scene of golden rice, laden with ears, a scene of abundant harvest. Mountains surround buildings reminiscent of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Breathing in the fresh mountain air, all worries vanish. Be sure to sit under the century-old crape myrtle tree at the village entrance, listen to Minnan opera, savor loach vermicelli and hand-rolled noodles from the Qiaotou snack shop, and finish with a cup of sour plum soup with osmanthus jelly. Perfect!

Standing amidst this breathtaking scenery, I felt as if I could feel the heartbeat of nature. The beauty of the scenery was captivating. The islands resembled emeralds, set within a turquoise jade plate. Qiandao Lake tourism is well-developed, and the guides' explanations were captivating. The only downside was the unusually hot weather during the National Day holiday, unlike previous years, which slightly dampened the overall experience. I'll definitely return with my family when I have the chance.
There were a lot of people during the National Day holiday and it was very hot. The queues were very long and the playing time was short. The experience was average. The self-funded projects on the island were expensive and the food was also expensive. It is recommended to come and see it on weekdays. The scenery is still good.

The Yangjia Creek Scenic Area features folk tales of famous figures such as Yang Wenguang and Zhu Xi, as well as She ethnic singing competitions and Mid-Autumn Festival stone-pulling ceremonies, allowing visitors to experience the rich local cultural atmosphere.
Photography Tips
For photographing Yangjia Creek, a 24-70mm or 24-105mm lens is recommended. To capture the Tyndall effect, choose the first rays of morning sun, when the ambient light is low. Using a smoke filter can enhance the "Jesus light" effect.
Last month I came to Yangjia Creek in Xiapu, Ningde. It is a picturesque place. As soon as I entered the scenic area, I was attracted by the scenery in front of me. Walking along the stream, the water is clear and the streamside is full of green water plants. Occasionally, you can see a few small fish playing in the water. The ancient road by the stream is paved with bluestone, and it seems that you can hear the echo of history when you step on it.
The most amazing thing is Rongfeng Park, where there are the northernmost ancient banyan trees in the world. One of them, the "Banyan King", is more than 800 years old, with a trunk circumference of 12.6 meters, a crown diameter of 51 meters, and a height of 30 meters. The trunk is hollow with 7 holes, which can accommodate several people. The branches and leaves of these ancient banyan trees are intertwined, forming a natural green barrier. Next to the ancient banyan tree is a maple forest. In late autumn, the red leaves are like fire, which contrasts with the emerald green of the ancient banyan tree, which is beautiful.
Take a bamboo raft down the river, the stream gently pats the raft, and the scenery on both sides unfolds like a picture scroll. The green mountains in the distance are rolling, and the stream nearby is sparkling, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland. The beauty of Yangjia Creek lies not only in its natural scenery, but also in its profound historical and cultural heritage. It carries the heavy history of Yang Wenguang, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, pacifying the Eighteen Caves of the Southern Barbarians and leaving Yang's soldiers to garrison. There are also many cliff carvings from past dynasties, which allow people to appreciate the beauty while feeling the weight of history.
Yangjia Creek is really a place worth visiting again and again. It has both natural wonders and profound cultural heritage, which makes people linger.

The scenery is beautiful, but I was caught off guard and had to climb the mountain again. Don't go during the National Day holiday, it's too hot and there are no trees on the mountain. It's pure sunshine. It would be better to go in November. Bring more water, there are no supply points on the mountain. The scenery is really beautiful, very beautiful
It was incredibly hot, but the scenery was breathtaking. Tianhu Lake on Yishan Island is truly a hidden gem within an island! After climbing over mountains and ridges, one discovers a vast meadow and a crystal-clear lake hidden at the summit. I was instantly captivated by the wonders of this "Southern Tianshan Mountain." Strolling along the wooden plank path, I gazed upon the rippling blue waters below, the sea and sky blending into one in the distance. The wind rustled the grass, but I couldn't spot cattle or sheep, but I could see the whitewater lapping against the rocks.
The only regret was that the mist partially obscured the ocean view, but it actually added to the ethereal atmosphere. The facilities are a bit simple, but the pristine beauty is all the more captivating. This is a truly off-the-beaten-path hidden gem, a destination that will delight photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Be sure to pick a sunny day, bring your camera, and a picnic basket; this magnificent blend of mountain and sea is worth a special trip.
