Later, I told everyone that this was the most beautiful autumn I had ever seen.

Huizhou usually refers to the ancient Huizhou area centered around Huangshan, including today's Huangshan and Jixi in Anhui, and parts of Wuyuan in Jiangxi. Here is a travel guide for Huizhou: Best Travel Time - Spring (March-April): Rapeseed flowers bloom along Wuyuan and Xin'an River, creating picturesque scenes with white walls and black tiles. - Autumn (October-November): The weather is crisp and clear; the autumn colors of Tachuan and the "sun-drying autumn" at Huangling are the main highlights. Must-Visit Attractions - Huangshan Scenic Area: Known for the saying "After visiting the Five Great Mountains, you don't look at other mountains; after visiting Huangshan, you don't look at other great mountains." Key spots include the Welcoming Pine, Bright Summit, and West Sea Grand Canyon. It is recommended to spend 1-2 days here, and if physically able, stay overnight on the mountain to watch the sunrise. - Hongcun: A village shaped like a cow with a water system; Moon Pond and South Lake are the core highlights, highly photogenic. - Xidi: A boat-shaped ancient village characterized by ancestral halls and memorial arches, with a richer cultural heritage. - Huizhou Ancient City: One of China's four great ancient cities, where you can visit the Xuguo Stone Archway, Huizhou Prefecture Office, and Doushan Street to experience the lively daily life of Huizhou. - Tangyue Memorial Archway Cluster & Bao Family Garden: Seven Ming and Qing dynasty memorial archways arranged according to "Loyalty, Filial Piety, Integrity, and Righteousness," rare nationwide; Bao Family Garden is a representative of Huizhou-style gardens. - Huangling: Known as the "Sun-Drying Autumn Village and Ladder Cloud Village," the Sun-Drying Viewing Platform and Leixin Bridge are must-visit spots.
