Things to do in Pengze

The scenery of Longgong Cave is very beautiful. You can visit two caves. You need to walk about 2 kilometers to Longgong Cave, and then take a sightseeing bus to the second Yuhu Cave. It takes seven minutes to take a boat to tour the Yuhu Cave. The experience is great. After coming out, take another sightseeing bus to reach the parking lot.

Xiaogushan is located in the Yangtze River 60 kilometers southeast of Susong County. It is the head of the Wanjiang River, with a solitary peak and a pillar in the middle of the river. Since the Qin Dynasty, Xiaogushan has been famous for "the isolated island in the Yangtze River" and "the sea gate stone pillar", attracting emperors, generals, literati and scholars to linger and leave many popular poems. Since ancient times, the mountain has been worshipped as the highest inland Mazu in China and has unique natural and cultural landscapes, so it has been popular with many tourists.

Mount Lu is really prone to fog. On the first night, I drove up the mountain at 7 pm, but couldn't enter through the South Gate, so I went to the North Gate instead. The mountain roads were incredibly winding, a real test of driving skills. The next day, after exploring the western route, I planned to take the central route. However, by 4 pm, the fog was so thick that I only visited Chairman Mao's former residence and missed Lulin Lake. On the third morning, I noticed the fog was very heavy while having breakfast and hesitated to go to the Eastern Route's Three Cascades Spring. But since I was already there, I decided to try my luck and took a sightseeing bus through the town. The fog cleared immediately, but it returned when I arrived at Three Cascades Spring. However, it didn't affect my sightseeing at all, and the fog gradually dissipated.

I generally don't have high expectations for hotels within scenic areas, but this one in Huangshan is truly exceptional value. The rooms aren't large, but they provide two down jackets and a powerful flashlight for watching the sunrise from the summit. They also have a foot bath basin, herbal foot bath ingredients, and a powerful flashlight. The highlight is their buffet dinner – you absolutely must try it! It's better than many buffets I've had at Marriott hotels. Firstly, because my expectations were different; this buffet dinner far exceeded them. Secondly, after hiking for hours, arriving at the hotel cold and hungry in the dead of winter, the warm, steaming restaurant with its underfloor heating is a welcome comfort to both your stomach and soul. Highly recommend staying here.

Wangxian Valley Scenic Area is highly recommended. I suggest entering in the afternoon, strolling around, having a bite to eat, and then watching the lights come on around evening. This way, you won't miss the daytime view of the unique towers and scenic spots. It was my first time seeing a scenic area like this, and it was quite different. The moment the lights came on was absolutely breathtaking.

The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and I slept very well. The location was convenient, the service was warm and attentive, and the facilities were complete. The breakfast had a wide variety of options and was good value for money. Overall, I was satisfied with the experience and would definitely choose this place again next time I travel.

For those traveling with elderly people or young children, here's a suggestion: enter from the south gate and exit from the west gate to avoid a long climb. For those who dislike climbing stairs, or those with elderly people or young children, you can pay 5 yuan to go directly to the top of the Yellow Crane Tower and then descend. The third floor offers the best view of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge.

Shizhong Mountain is situated at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake. Although not high, its precipitous cliffs overlook the water, where the water and rocks collide, producing a sound like a resounding bell—a truly unique natural wonder. Famous throughout the world because of Su Shi's "Record of Shizhong Mountain," this place blends scenic beauty with rich cultural heritage, making it a truly exceptional destination for sightseeing, exploration, and reflection on the past and present.

Wuyishan Scenic Area truly lives up to its reputation as a national park and a 5A-level scenic area. The scenery is breathtaking, the park staff are very friendly, and the transportation within the scenic area is extremely convenient, practically seamless. The shuttle buses are clean and hygienic. To facilitate tourists visiting on holidays, all public transportation and parking are free – a big thumbs up! 👍👍👍👍

The Imperial Kiln Museum has a beautiful exterior design, and the exhibits inside are quite valuable. Unfortunately, there were so many tourists taking photos inside and outside the museum, taking up many photo spots and affecting the overall experience. As for the "Blue and White Porcelain Along the River" digital art exhibition, if it weren't for the fact that I bought a special exhibition ticket during the National Day holiday which allowed me to skip the reservation, I really wouldn't recommend buying it! The experience fell short of expectations.
