It's truly amazing how Huangshan is so beautiful that you won't want to see any other mountains! The autumn scenery is especially breathtaking! I love the vibrant colors of Huangshan! On our first day, despite the overcast weather, we witnessed a stunning sea of clouds, and on the second day, with its clear skies, we saw an absolutely magnificent sunrise! Although it was tiring, it was totally worth it!
I queued at the transfer center at 6 a.m. today and headed straight for the Yungu Cableway. It truly lives up to its name as "the most wondrous mountain under heaven." The uniquely shaped pines, bizarre rocks, sea of clouds, and hot springs create breathtaking scenery, picturesque in all four seasons, and rich in cultural heritage. Although there are drawbacks such as high prices at the summit and unpredictable weather, when you reach the top and look down at the surging sea of clouds and the endless mountains, you realize it's all worth it.

Choosing the right hotel greatly impacts your travel experience, and this one was absolutely fantastic! The room was even bigger than it looked in the pictures, with amazing natural light and spotless cleanliness. The service was exceptionally attentive; a car picked me up from the subway station as soon as I arrived, and they even called a day in advance to remind me. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent; I didn't hear any noise at night. The breakfast selection wasn't extensive, but the taste was still great. Overall, a superb experience, definitely worth staying at again and again, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting this area!
Fantastic! Early bird tickets are highly recommended! Not crowded at all, and the views from the top are breathtaking! The guide was very professional, and the kids listened with great interest, gaining a lot of useful knowledge! Hahaha

Wangxian Valley is best visited in the afternoon; it's not as stunning during the day. There are many makeup and decoration shops outside the scenic area, and the prices aren't expensive. It's beautiful at night with the lights on. You can enjoy some snacks, check out popular photo spots, and take some lovely pictures.
🌟This trip was absolutely fantastic! 👏The service was excellent, the staff were warm and attentive, making me feel right at home.🏡 The value for money was incredible; every penny was well spent.💰 The itinerary was well-planned, and the pace of the trip was just right.🚶♂️ The overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, perfect for family trips.👨👩👧👦 Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind!🎉

During the autumn harvest season, a sunny day makes for amazing photo opportunities. The scenic area boasts unique landscaping design, with each photo spot having its own distinct character. There are also plenty of clean restrooms throughout the area.
This time, visiting Huangling Scenic Area in Wuyuan, the cable car was very convenient; after entering, we went to the visitor center and took it to the second floor. It took us directly up the mountain, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking! Although the weather wasn't great that day, it didn't detract from the experience. The scenic area was crowded, but the atmosphere was wonderful. Huaxi Water Street, Tianjie Street, the Drying Workshop… Autumn in Huangling is full of poetry and romance. It's so beautiful. We played there from afternoon until evening. A perfect experience. We then took the cable car down.

It's a place well worth visiting. The view from the top is beautiful, and each floor has different scenery and unique architectural styles. Although the cost is not high, I would definitely recommend it. It's a pity I didn't go at night; the scenery would be even more spectacular when the lights are on.
The magical light show was truly breathtaking. From the historical evolution of Nanchang to the rise and fall of the Tengwang Pavilion, the narrative flowed seamlessly, and the actors' performances were quite good. It's definitely worth seeing.

A guided tour is definitely worthwhile at museums. The Hunan Provincial Museum is currently under renovation, and it's crowded and small. Without a guided tour, I probably would have been out in 20 minutes. Our guide, Xiao Zhou, gave a lively and engaging explanation. Very good.
I must commend Xiao Xiao, the museum guide! Her explanations were professional and engaging throughout, clearly and thoroughly explaining the historical origins and cultural details behind the exhibits. She also incorporated fun anecdotes to keep things interesting, and her pacing was excellent, captivating both adults and children. She was enthusiastic and patient, answering all our questions meticulously and even sharing photos, making the visit both educational and incredibly pleasant. With Xiao Xiao as our guide, the museum experience was doubled! Highly recommended!

I visited Lushan with my family during the last few days of the National Day holiday. The scenery was beautiful and left a deep impression. I especially want to thank the security guard at the Lushan Museum. We arrived very late, but he still let us in because he didn't want me to have any regrets. I'm so grateful!
Comment 1: A Zen-like Pursuit of a Pure Land
In the hustle and bustle of the world, the Donglin Buddha of Lushan stands as a tranquil haven, its majestic presence guarding the purity of faith. The rising of three sticks of incense is not merely a ritual, but a profound question for the soul—as the smoke swirls, have we forgotten the essence of faith? Here, there is no extravagance or utilitarianism, only the whisper of the mountain breeze, as if reminding us: true faith originates from inner clarity, not from the accumulation of external things. Strolling here, every step echoes the past, every glance reveals nature's bounty. To let faith return to its essence is to allow the soul to regain freedom in this pure land, like a lotus rising from the mud unsullied, preserving its true nature amidst chaos.
Comment 2: Faith Awakening in Incense
The Donglin Buddha of Lushan is an oasis in the midst of noise, a place where weary souls can find rest. Three sticks of incense, seemingly simple, carry a thousand years of devotion—they do not seek worldly rewards, but only wish to awaken inner peace. As incense smoke fills the air, the essence of faith gradually becomes clear: it is not blind superstition, but a profound pursuit of the meaning of life. The beauty of the Pure Land lies in its inclusiveness and purification, allowing restless hearts to settle, like the distant and clear tolling of an ancient temple bell. Here, faith is no longer an empty slogan, but is transformed into the land beneath our feet and the blue sky above, reminding us: returning to the essence is returning to the true nature of humanity.
Commentary 3: Harmonious Coexistence of Nature and Faith
The Donglin Buddha of Lushan, with nature as its backdrop, embodies the eternal theme of faith. A Pure Land is a gift from the mountains, a murmur of the streams; three sticks of incense are a dialogue of the soul, a continuation of tradition. When faith merges with nature, we understand: true faith needs no flowery words, only a heart of reverence. In the Pure Land, every fallen leaf is a Zen saying, every ray of sunlight an enlightenment. Letting faith return to its essence is to let humanity coexist harmoniously with nature, to rediscover the original purity in the incense smoke, like spring buds breaking through the soil, ever-renewing.

Hongcun Scenic Area is definitely worth a visit for the whole family. From the entrance, you can walk around the scenic area and see students sketching and creating art everywhere. The bridge in the middle is a particularly beautiful spot for photos. The shops offer a wide variety of goods and many local snacks, and the area is always bustling with people.
The beauty of Hongcun is undeniable—the painted bridge over Nanhu Lake and the reflection in the Moon Pond are the epitome of Chinese ink painting, while the ox-shaped water system design showcases the wisdom of the ancients. However, excessive commercialization and crowds of tourists have made the early morning and evening the only moments of tranquility. To experience the authentic Huizhou, it is recommended to avoid the main streets and venture into the alleys, or choose more pristine ancient villages nearby, such as Lucun.

Sanqing Mountain, named for its three peaks resembling the Three Pure Ones, the three deities of Taoism, is breathtaking. Climbing the mountain, I was completely captivated by the 3.7-kilometer cliffside walkway. The distant clouds and the nearby valleys offered a leisurely stroll, the scenery was breathtaking and truly mesmerizing!
I believe this is the most beautiful high-altitude walkway, bar none. Absolutely amazing!
The scenery was alright, but people with average stamina really shouldn't bother with the middle loop. The classic scenic spots, "Python Emerging from the Mountain" and "Eastern Goddess," are within the small loop. The middle loop adds about 8 kilometers to the hike, and the extra climb to "One Line Sky" and seeing "Jade Maiden's Bliss" isn't worth it. There aren't many signs or markers in the scenic area, sometimes you'll be completely lost, or you'll need to ask a guide. It would be better to have markers indicating the distance to the Jinsha Cableway along the 5-kilometer boardwalk. At the Jinsha Cableway's descent queue, there was no management or verbal announcements; some people were queuing, others were climbing over the railings, making it difficult to find your way.

The natural and cultural landscapes are excellent, but the planning is average, management is acceptable, and there's an overdevelopment of restaurants and an underdevelopment of tourism. Staying on the mountain is convenient by car, but still requires a lot of hiking, making it unsuitable for the elderly and children.
This was my first trip to Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui Province. I arrived in the evening, having booked an airport pick-up a few days in advance. I stayed at the Vienna International Hotel. The next morning, after breakfast at 6:50 AM, I left my winter coat and other belongings at the hotel reception, checked out, and began my day's itinerary.
I took the sightseeing bus within the scenic area to Yingxian Bridge Station. After walking about 200 meters, I took the cable car to Baishui Palace. After praying, I took the cable car down the mountain and visited Zhiyuan Temple and Huacheng Temple. I touched the thousand-year-old stone lions at the entrance, went to the meditation hall to receive holy water from Guanyin, and walked along the ancient path to the Hall of the Corpse's Body. I offered incense, circumambulated the hall, and recited the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra. We descended from the North Gate, shared a car to Datiantai Temple, and ate a bar of chocolate in the car to replenish our energy. We took the cable car up, then climbed about 1000 steps to Datiantai Temple to pray for blessings. We ate another bar of chocolate to replenish our energy again, took the cable car down, and then a sightseeing bus back. We got off at Dayuan Cultural Park, took a sightseeing bus within the park to the Bodhisattva statue, climbed 88 steps to the Bodhisattva's feet, touched the Buddha's feet, and happily took the sightseeing bus away. We took a taxi back to the hotel to retrieve our stored belongings and had dinner. We stayed near the airport, having pre-booked a car, and flew away the next morning.
