Just got back from Huangshan, and the after-effects are real

Baozis! Who understands 😭! Visiting Huangshan in May is a divine experience! The mountains are covered in fresh greenery 🌿 + the sea of clouds is surging ☁️, every step is like walking into a traditional Chinese painting! This guide teaches you how to have fun step by step, so hurry up and save it and set off 🚀! 🌟 [Must-Visit Attractions Revealed] ✅ Huangshan Scenic Area: Huangshan in May is simply at its "peak beauty"! The Guest-Greeting Pine is verdant and tall 🌲, the Lotus Peak is surrounded by clouds and mist. Walking on the steep stone steps, you feel like the main character in a martial arts drama! Remember to get up early to watch the sunrise 🌅, the sea of clouds at Bright Summit is so beautiful that you'll be speechless! ✅ Hongcun: The ancient Huizhou-style village with white walls and black tiles is like a traditional Chinese ink painting no matter how you photograph it 🎨! The moon pond reflects the white walls and black tiles, and the willows by the South Lake hang over the water. Rent a Hanfu and take photos to become a goddess 📸! ✅ Emerald Valley: A treasure land known as "Lovers' Valley" 💘! The crystal clear stream and the large and small green pools are like emeralds 💚. It's super cool to play in the water here in summer~ 🍜 [Huangshan Cuisine, So Delicious!] 🥟 Huangshan Shaobing: The outer skin is crispy and crumbly, and the preserved vegetable and pork filling becomes more fragrant the more you chew it. You can easily eat three in one go! 🍜 Mao Tofu: Smells stinky but tastes delicious! The golden-fried tofu is drizzled with a secret sauce, and the taste is so tender! 🌽 Kudzu Root Balls: Glutinous rice lovers are ecstatic! The chewy kudzu root powder is wrapped in sesame filling, and it's super satisfying to bite into~ 🚗 [Transportation and Accommodation Without Getting Lost] 🚄 Transportation: Take the high-speed train to "Huangshan North Station". To go to Huangshan Scenic Area, you can take the scenic area bus 🚌; to go to Hongcun and Emerald Valley, it is recommended to take a taxi or share a ride 🚗, which is super convenient at an average of 30+ yuan per person! 🏨 Accommodation: If you want to get up early to watch the sunrise, stay in a homestay on the mountain (remember to book in advance!) ⛺; if you have a limited budget, choose a hotel in Tangkou Town at the foot of the mountain 🏨, which is super cost-effective~ You can stay in a characteristic inn in Hongcun, and when you open the window, you will see a small bridge and flowing water 🌊! ⚠️ [Super Practical Tips to Avoid Pitfalls] ❶ Huangshan Scenic Area is very large, so it is recommended to plan your route in advance 🗺️ and wear comfortable sneakers 👟! ❷ The prices on the mountain are slightly higher, so bring your own snacks and water, but don't carry too much weight! ❸ The temperature difference between morning and evening in May is large, so bring a light jacket 🧥 to avoid catching a cold~ Baozis! Huangshan in May is so beautiful it's against the rules 😍! Quickly invite your friends and go on a trip! 💃
