As a local who has worked in Huangshan Scenic Area for ten years, I have already visited every corner of Huangshan.

I’m dazzled by the choices and can’t make up my mind. The editor has compiled two travel guides for you to visit Huangshan to see the snow scenery, misty pines and sea of ​​clouds. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

The Spring Festival holiday has just ended, and Huangshan Jiulong Waterfall seems to still be immersed in the tranquility of the holiday, with few tourists, making it an excellent time to explore its serenity. As a bookworm who loves exploration, I always find inspiration for dialogue with wisdom in the beauty of nature. This time, Jiulong Waterfall gave me a different surprise. As soon as I stepped into the scenic area, it felt like entering a fairyland isolated from the world. Ten waterfalls with nine bends, each bend with a pool, each turn hides the ingenuity of nature. The Longxin Pool, emerald green like jade, crystal clear, seems to be the purest tears of nature, quietly telling stories of a thousand years. Standing by the pool, I couldn't help but sigh, this is the most authentic charm of nature, without too much embellishment, it is already beautiful enough to intoxicate people. The climbing path is not difficult, only the last section of nearly vertical steps makes people feel a little strenuous. But it is this little episode that makes the sense of accomplishment after reaching the top even stronger. The scenery along the way is beautiful, the water is clear and transparent, and every place is a masterpiece of nature. Compared with Lushan Waterfall, Jiulong Waterfall may have a bit more gentleness and delicacy, a bit less grandeur and boldness, but its freshness and elegance are enough to make people linger. What is even more delightful is that in recent years, the scenic area has added zipline projects for children, making this encounter with nature even more colorful. It is recommended that tourists search for "canyon crossing" online in advance and get a card at the ticket office, so that they can not only enjoy discounts but also make the journey smoother. Strolling in Jiulong Waterfall, I seem to hear the heartbeat of nature and feel its breath. Every grass and tree, every stone and water here is full of the power of life and the light of wisdom. I think this is the meaning of travel - discovering beauty in exploration, and understanding life in beauty. Huangshan Jiulong Waterfall, a refreshing encounter with nature, brought me full of inspiration and reflection. Here, I seem to have a dialogue with wisdom across time and space, feeling the most sincere gift of nature. If you are also tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, why not come here for a walk, maybe you will also find your own peace and beauty.
