Visiting Huangshan without climbing Huangshan is unthinkable‼️ This fairyland, praised by Xu Xiake as "After Huangshan, no need to look at other mountains," is shared here with a two-day, one-night essential itinerary～ 🏔️Day 1: Conquer Huangshan Scenic Area Enter from the South Gate of Huangshan Scenic Area at 8 AM. It is recommended to take the Yungu Cableway up the mountain to save time and effort🚡 The first stop is Shixin Peak, the origin of the saying "After visiting the Five Great Mountains, no need to look at other mountains; after visiting Huangshan, no need to look at other peaks"～ Then head to the Beihai Scenic Area, where you can't miss the strange pines and rocks like Mengbi Shenghua and Monkey Watching the Sea📸 Have lunch at Paiyunlou Restaurant, and be sure to try the local specialties of Mao Tofu and stir-fried pork with stone ear mushrooms～ In the afternoon, challenge the West Sea Grand Canyon. Don't miss the popular mini train experience, round trip 100 RMB/person (a bit pricey but worth it) Stay overnight at a mountaintop hotel (recommended Baiyun Hotel). Book a scenic room 3 days in advance to secure a spot 🌿Day 2: Leisurely Tour of Chengkan Ancient Town Wake up naturally and descend the mountain, then head to Chengkan, an ancient Feng Shui village in Huizhou This village has a history of over 1800 years and is built according to the Bagua layout, which is super fascinating🔮 Be sure to hire a guide (around 80 RMB), or you might miss many hidden secrets Take beautiful photos by Yongxing Lake, and if you're lucky, you can see geese and ducks playing in the pastoral scenery🦆 Have lunch at a farmhouse restaurant inside the scenic area, and definitely try the stinky mandarin fish 📌Useful Tips: 1. The weather in Huangshan is changeable, so bring rain gear and warm clothes 2. It is recommended to buy a combined ticket (Huangshan + Chengkan) to save about 50 RMB 3. The stone slab roads in Chengkan Scenic Area are very slippery, so wear anti-slip shoes 4. The best travel season is from April to November; although there are fewer people in winter, the cableway may be closed 🍲Must-Try Foods: Huangshan Sesame Seed Cake (freshly baked in the scenic area, the best) Mao Tofu (fermented with a unique and strong flavor) Stinky Mandarin Fish (smells bad but tastes delicious) Stone Rice Cake (local specialty snack)
