Jixin Temple offers meditation classes. You can sign up for a class that fits your schedule to find inner peace and harmony. The temple also holds blessing ceremonies. Follow its official account for the schedule. 4. Wear comfortable shoes for hiking. 5. Bring some food for your kids to feed the squirrels. I remember there were squirrels everywhere at the store, and they weren't afraid of people. You can feed them whatever you want. 6. You may not be able to reach the top during the off-season. There are also many people on weekends. The winter in the north is bare. It won't be as beautiful as the pictures, so be prepared. Even the sea of clouds in Huangshan is not there every day. It depends on the weather and your luck. 7. Qinglong is not only famous for its delicious water tofu, but also for its Fuji apples. 😋 If you happen to find yellow peaches for sale, stock up on them too. They are very sweet.
