Hey loves! I've returned from Huangshan with "trembling legs" and a "completely full photo gallery"😭! After climbing Tiandu Peak, I collapsed in my hotel that night, but when I saw the sunrise above the sea of clouds, I wanted to shout: "Huangshan, you are my god!" No exaggerations today, just honest advice - grab your notebooks and take notes 📒 before heading out to avoid unnecessary detours! 🌬️【Must-read before going: Equipment and weather are crucial】 1. Footwear 👟: Promise me! Don't wear ANY shoes with heels!! Huangshan's steps are steep and narrow - non-slip athletic shoes are your "life savers"🚶‍♀️! Bring a windproof jacket, as the mountain top is windy enough to blow you away. Even in May, temperature differences between morning and evening are significant - cold-sensitive friends might want to pack a thin down jacket. 2. Backpack essentials 🎒: Travel light!! Only bring necessities: ID card, power bank, tissues, small amount of cash (some small shops only accept cash), chocolate (energy-boosting magic 🍫). No need to bring too much water as there are drinking water stations on the mountain, but a thermos is a must! 3. Weather tips 🌤️: Check the forecast three days ahead!! Huangshan weather changes quickly - rainy days often bring sea of clouds but make paths dangerously slippery; sunny days offer better visibility but intense sun exposure, so definitely bring a sun hat and sunglasses. (Personal experience: when I encountered showers, a raincoat was 100 times better than an umbrella 🌂!) 🏔️【Must-visit spots: Breathtakingly exhausting but tear-jerkingly beautiful】 1. Welcome Pine 🌲: Huangshan's ultimate "celebrity"!! This thousand-year-old tree rooted in a cliff seems to extend its branches saying "welcome"! Arrive before 8am to avoid crowds and get a "solo photo" - the sunlight filtering through pine needles creates an amazing atmosphere. 2. Bright Summit Peak 🌄: Though there's no "Ming Cult Headquarters," this is THE place for sunrise and sunset viewing!! Climbing in darkness at 5am is worth it when you see the sea of clouds rolling and the sun peeking over the mountains 😭. (Cold-sensitive friends: bring a small folding stool for sitting while waiting for sunrise) 3. West Sea Grand Canyon 🚡: Here comes the "devil-level" hiking route!! The cliff walkways on the first and second loops will make your legs weak, but the "ink painting" views overlooking the canyon are incredible. If you're low on energy, take the rail car (the famous little train) down the mountain - riding through the sea of clouds feels like a roller coaster 🎢! 4. Flying-over Rock 🪨: A "Dream of Red Mansions" filming location!! A huge boulder seemingly "floating" on the mountaintop - touching it supposedly brings good luck. Be careful when taking photos and don't get too close when it's windy! 🍜【Food hits and misses: Carbs are essential for mountain climbing】 ✔️ Huangshan Pancakes 🥠: Must try these freshly baked flaky pastries! The preserved vegetable and meat filling is savory and crispy, great value at 5 yuan each - keep some in your pocket as snacks while hiking. ✔️ Hairy Tofu 🍄: Fermented tofu fried to a golden crust and topped with spicy sauce is delicious! Don't be afraid of the "fuzz" - this is an intangible cultural heritage food! ✔️ Stir-fried Bamboo Shoots with Pork 🥢: A must-order at mountain restaurants! Fresh bamboo shoots are crisp and refreshing - perfect with two big bowls of rice! ❌ Wild Mushroom Soup: Overpriced and ordinary - better to have two bowls of tomato egg soup 🍅 instead! ❌ Instant noodles at scenic spots 🍜: I was speechless at the 15 yuan per cup price... better to bring your own instant porridge or energy bars. ⚠️【Pitfall guide: I've fallen into these traps so you don't have to】 1. Don't believe "we're almost there"❗️: Distances between Huangshan attractions far exceed expectations! Walking from Baie Ridge to Bright Summit Peak takes 2 hours. When asking for directions, ask "how many kilometers" or "approximately how long," don't trust vague answers like "not far" or "almost there" 😤! 2. Cable car timing is critical ⏰: Yuping and Yungu cable cars stop operating around 4:30pm!! Calculate your time carefully and don't get carried away - hiking down in darkness is truly dangerous. 3. Be cautious with souvenirs 🚫: "Huangshan specialties" at mountaintop shops are double-priced. If you want gifts, buy them at Tunxi Old Street after descending - more choices and room for bargaining! 🏨【Accommodation advice: Stay on the mountain or at the foot?】 🌟 Mountain accommodations (recommended for those with budget): Bright Summit and White Cloud Hotels have excellent locations, convenient for sunrise viewing and early morning photos when crowds are thin. But rooms are small and expensive (800+ in low season, 1500+ in peak season) - choose carefully if you have high accommodation standards. 🌟 Foot of the mountain (best value): Tangkou Town has many guesthouses ranging from 300-600 yuan. You can explore the town and enjoy late-night snacks! Suitable for budget-conscious travelers with high sleep quality requirements - morning shuttle buses to the scenic area are very convenient. ✨【Final thoughts】 Huangshan truly is "body in hell, eyes in heaven"!! The day after climbing, my thighs were so sore I walked like a penguin 🐧, but when I look at my photos of the sea of clouds, pine waves, and starry skies, I immediately want to shout "I'll come back!" If you love nature and challenges, Huangshan absolutely deserves a spot on your "lifetime must-visit list"!

I finally saw the real Huangshan after thinking about it for so long. The scenery of Huangshan is really amazing! Even more beautiful than Mount Tai! ❤ . 🌈 [Travel Preparation] 🔸 Documents: ID card, student ID card, a small amount of cash 🔸 Electrical appliances: Power bank, charger, headphones, camera, power bank 🔸 Daily necessities: Toiletries, skin care products, slippers, bath towels 🔸 Clothes: Check the weather forecast before departure, pack your luggage every day, and prepare a jacket 🔸 Others: Masks, umbrellas, flat shoes, hats . ✅ Transportation Guide ✈ Airplane: Huangshan Tunxi International Airport, there are airport buses to all directions in the city, or you can take a taxi directly to the hotel, which is convenient and worry-free. 🚄 High-speed train: Huangshan North Station has many trains.

This Hanfu lover declares: Huangshan is the holy land of time travel! Green tiles, white walls and horse-faced skirts, any photo will look like a still from "Dream of Splendor" ~ This strategy for the double kill of "culture + beautiful scenery" is worth collecting quickly by sisters with ancient style! Day 1: First experience of Huizhou, a thousand-year-old city In the morning, take the high-speed train directly to Huangshan North and head straight to Huizhou Ancient City (free admission!). I rented a set of Song Dynasty Hanfu (💰80 yuan/day) on Dousan Street. When I walked past Xuguo Stone Archway with an oil-paper umbrella, the NPC uncle actually praised me for being "very beautiful" ~ In the afternoon, I slipped into Yangchan Tulou. The staggered yellow mud walls made the lilac jacket look particularly gentle. My phone ran out of battery from taking so many photos 📱! In the evening, we checked into Shiting Huayi (highly recommended!), a homestay converted from a 200-year-old Huizhou merchant’s house. The moonlight on the lotus pond can be seen just outside the window. The butler served me hot Huangshan Maofeng tea, and I instantly dreamed back to the Ming and Qing dynasties~ Day 2: Walking in Wonderland, 30,000 steps a day At 6 o'clock, take the Yuping cable car up the mountain and head straight to the Welcoming Pine!

The more I ate, the more I liked it! In the afternoon, we challenged Aoyu Cave. When we squatted and crawled through the narrow cracks in the rocks, we finally understood why the ancients said "the mountain is as dangerous as a knife" ~ In the evening, we lay on the lawn of Guangmingding to watch the sunset. The clouds were like an overturned rouge box, dyeing the entire sky red🌇 Day 3: Farewell Poems in the Landscape Gallery Give up the crowded Xidi and Hongcun and follow the local grandmas to visit Bishan Village. I wrote a postcard at the Bishan Bookstore, which was converted from a century-old ancestral hall, and sent a "brocade letter in the clouds" to my future self 💌 ~ Finally, I got lost in Chengkan Bagua Village for three hours, but unexpectedly came across a pond full of blooming lotus flowers. It turns out that getting lost is another way to encounter surprises! Exclusive Tips for Culture Control 1. Guidelines for Photographing Hanfu Huizhou Ancient City recommends wearing a light and elegant chest-length skirt, while Yangchu Tulou is suitable for Ming Dynasty-style vests. Bring a fan or bamboo basket as props, avoid the top light period between 10-15 pm 2. In-depth experience list Learn Hui ink painting in Bagua Village, Chengkan (free experience!) Bishan Bookstore’s limited edition stamp (a total of 8 Hui-style architectural stamps) 3.

It is also sold on the mountain, but the price is higher; prepare snacks to replenish energy. 3. Environmental protection: Huangshan is a world natural and cultural heritage site, please do not litter and protect every plant and tree in the scenic area.

Tunxi and Tangkouzhen is considered the gateway to Huangshan and many people stayed here as a base. I would highly recommend allocating half a day to visit Tunxi old street, which is so charming with many unique souvenirs and food to try. Tangkouzhen on the other hand has absolutely nothing except hotels so I would avoid staying unless required (since it is nearer to yellow mountain). Buy everything that you require before visiting Tangkouzhen because prices are so marked up there! My own itinerary Day 1 - reached Tunxi from Shanghai, explored the old street for the afternoon. Day 2 - depart to Tangkouzhen to put down my belongings before climbing the yellow mountain. Day 3 - visited Hongcun, which is a very charming and scenic village near the area, went back to grab my bag and returned to stay in Tunxi for the night Day 4 - explored the anhui old town (which I don’t recommend to be honest, it’s too costly and far to visit this underwhelming place) Day 5 - return to Shanghai #historicallandmarks #历史古迹 #scenery #yellowmountain #Tunxi #localguides #世界遗产

At the foot of Huangshan! Stayed for 5 days! Didn't want to leave.😭 I've been to Huangshan twice! I really liked the Shanye Hotel I stayed at this time! I was fascinated by the view of the tea garden! Backed by a tea mountain, the view from the window was full of green, it was simply amazing! ❤️The scenery is really great! The design hotel at the foot of Huangshan not only has unique scenery, but it is also very close to the South Gate. It is a must for mountain climbers! I climbed Huangshan twice a week, and each time there were different surprises and beautiful scenery. This is simply a paradise for explorers! ❤️The boss is very enthusiastic and nice! The boss is not only knowledgeable, but also a tea master! Under her guidance, I tasted tea and experienced tea cultivation, which was really cool! Not to mention, the home-cooked meals here, every bite is the taste of home, full of happiness~ ❤️The facilities are very complete and suitable for families! Families with children, pay attention! It's really super child-friendly! The room was upgraded, there was a large bathtub for bathing, and there were dried vegetable cakes. Everything was so considerate! I had a great time these days! Location: Huangshan-Huangshan District-Tangkou Town-Gangcun Xiaoling

Creekside Beautiful Stay (No. 029, Xiaoyao Water Street, Tangkou Town, Huangshan District, Huangshan) Price: 152 RMB/night for a standard twin room without breakfast (booked half a month in advance) Location: About a 3-minute drive from the shuttle bus at the foot of Huangshan, about a 15-minute walk to the main dining street, right next to a stream, with a view of Huangshan when you look up. Great location! Environment: The room is very clean and tidy, providing disposable bath towels, slippers, and toiletries. The sink is a bit high, making it inconvenient to wash your face. The room offers a mountain view and the sound of the stream. The beds are moderately firm, each with only one pillow. Others: The dumplings and noodles made by the owner's mother are very delicious, 15 RMB per serving. The owner can provide shuttle service to and from the Huangshan shuttle bus, which is very convenient. Due to unfamiliarity with the mountain climate, small bugs entered the room at night, but the owner resolved it, very considerate. The walking sticks at the homestay can be used for free, and raincoats and shoe covers can be returned if not used. Highly recommended!

🌫️ Standing on the top of the misty Huangshan Mountain 🎨 Surrounded by picturesque pines and rocks 🧝‍♂️ It was like stepping into a fairyland. At that moment, all the fatigue turned into dust. 🚄 Let me first tell you how to get there 🏃‍♂️💨 After getting off Huangshan North Station, turn left and you will see the bus station. The ticket is 30 yuan and it takes 40 minutes to get you directly to the foot of Huangshan. It is convenient and fast! 🛏️Where to stay? 🛌 If you want to stay in Tangkou Town, you have to be smart. Before booking a room, check how far it is from the South Gate. It would be best if you can walk there, so you don’t have to drag your luggage back and forth and get tired. 🎒 Luggage storage? 🎒 Speaking of luggage, don't be confused. Don't accidentally save your luggage at the Namdaemun transfer point, or the bus may not stop there and you'll have to take a detour. 🏨 If the hotel is nearby, just drop it there and save yourself the trouble. 🎟️ What about tickets? 📅 It’s best to book online one day in advance, 190 yuan, valid for three days. 🐉 There are also various tax reduction policies. People born in the Year of the Dragon, local people of Huangshan, and on specific days can all enjoy discounts. You can check the latest news online for details. 💰 How much does it cost to go up the mountain? 🚌 In addition to the entrance fee, there are also car fees and cable car fees, which together cost about two or three hundred yuan. 🎒 Remember to bring some necessities, including your ID card, trekking poles (hotels usually have them, so you don't need to bring your own), sunshade, warmth, and rainproof items, as well as water and dry food. Put them all in your backpack and you can travel easily. 🏞️ Hiking route: 🚶‍♂️ Choose the front mountain or the back mountain? 🌄 If you plan to hike, I recommend going up the back mountain and down the front mountain. The slope of the back mountain is more suitable for hiking. 🕒 Starting from the back mountain, it takes about 3 hours to reach Guangmingding. 🌅 Although the Xihai Grand Canyon is beautiful, the entire hike takes more than 4 hours, so it is not recommended for friends who want a day trip. 🚠 Easy cable car version: 🚠 Yungu Temple cable car up the mountain → Baieling → Shixin Peak → Mengbi Shenghua → Monkey Watching the Sea → Feilai Stone → Guangmingding → Xihai Grand Canyon → Aoyu Peak → Lianhua Pavilion → Bayuping cable car down the mountain 🐒 🌞 An interesting little-known fact: If you are attacked by a short-tailed monkey while hiking, you can go to the visitor center to get a rabies vaccine for free! ⏰ 🕒 Time Management: 1️⃣ Night climbing is not allowed in Huangshan. Once it gets dark, the mountain roads without night lights are very dangerous. 2️⃣ The last cable car down the mountain is at 17:10. If you miss it, you will have to hike down the mountain. 3️⃣ The latest bus departure time is 17:40. If you miss it, don’t worry, you can call the scenic area rescue phone number. 📌 Other notes: 1️⃣ The direction of the bus should be consistent with the direction of the ticket. 2️⃣ The earliest bus is at 6:40 and the ticket price is 19 yuan. 3️⃣ There are three gates in Huangshan. Most people go up and down from the South Gate. Please pay attention to the difference between the South Gate Transfer Point and the South Gate Terminal Transfer Center. 4️⃣ The prices on the mountain are 3-5 times higher than those at the foot of the mountain, and the fine for smoking is 1k-3k. 5️⃣ Danxia Peak is suitable for watching sunrise and sunset, while Qingliangtai is a good place to take pictures of the sea of ​​clouds.

This place is truly like jade fallen from the sky, hidden in waterfalls, streams, amidst the flowers and green grass, and within the blue sky and white clouds. Everywhere you look is green, cleansing the heart, lungs, and soul, and the feeling of letting oneself go is just too wonderful. The Yellow Jade Valley is nestled deep in the Huangshan mountain range, named for its clear, emerald-green waters. There are many waterfalls in the Jade Valley, among which the most famous is the 'Celestial Maiden Lake Waterfall'. The Jade Valley is the longest canyon at the foot of Huangshan, with a depth of about 20 kilometers. The stream in the valley is called 'Bi Yu Creek', originating from the peaks of Lian Dan, Shi Xin, and Celestial Maiden. Strange rocks stand tall in the valley, with babbling brooks and spectacular scenery. The Jade Valley consists of dozens of pools of varying depths, which under the sunlight, reflect shades of green, orange, blue, yellow, white, and other colors, making it incredibly beautiful. There are over a hundred pools of different shapes and sizes scattered throughout the valley, with crystal-clear, emerald waters, brightly colored pebbles at the bottom, and the surrounding scenery is picturesque. Depending on the angle of the sunlight and the varying intensity of light, the pools appear crystal clear or emerald green, constantly changing and dazzlingly colorful, like numerous colored jades scattered throughout the valley, hence the name Jade Valley. The film 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', which won four Oscars, shot scenes such as bamboo fights, poolside romance, and walking on waterfalls in the Jade Valley. Transportation Information: The Jade Valley is located between Xian Du Peak and Luo Han Peak of Huangshan, with the valley entrance at Shang Zhang Village in Tangkou Town, Huangshan City, near the G205 national highway. It is about 8 kilometers north of Tangkou by car.

Huangshan District Tangkou Town Jinpu Dongyi Grand Hotel It's called a grand hotel, but it actually feels more like a house converted into lodging, similar to a homestay, yet not quite. The interior decoration and the exterior view, including the fourth picture, give off a homestay vibe. This time, just the two of us, the room was very small, the distance between the beds was just an arm's length, which meant I could smell my bedmate's body odor as soon as they turned over. The bathroom had hot water very quickly, but the shower area was inside the bathtub! Ah! Toothbrush, shower gel, everything was provided!

Huangshan Tangkou Town Luyin Chengjin Light Luxury B&B Hotel is very convenient, just ten steps away from the entrance of Huangshan. The hotel rooms are comfortable and novel in design, and there is a place to dry clothes at the air-conditioning vent. It is very considerate and humane. There is a foot bath bucket in the room for guests to use. Please note that there are two bottles of tea on the table, one of which is for foot bathing. I almost took it by mistake and drank it 😂 Be careful There are many supermarkets and restaurants near the hotel, which is very convenient. It can provide a comfortable environment for tourists going up the mountain tomorrow and have a last rest before the working day. It's right not to see the mountains after returning from Huangshan, because you are exhausted 🫰 #Huangshan ##Tangkou Town

I went after seeing the Chinese restaurant app rating of 4.7 points I ordered skewers by type and ate them They grilled them by putting charcoal in a basin It's not like the skewer shops these days that have a rotating machine, so it's inconvenient, but it's still nice. The combination of Huangshan beer and skewers is really good #Tangkou skewers #Chinese Huangshan restaurant
