Secrets that locals won't tell you about Huangshan

🙋‍♂️Let me tell you❗ 1️⃣ During holidays (the first three days of May Day or National Day), Huangshan is crowded with people📈, and you may... be stuck😓. It is recommended to think outside the box and visit the quiet ancient villages of Huizhou first, and then visit Huangshan⛰️ in the last two days. 2️⃣ Hiking in Huangshan? It's exhausting🫢! But if you choose the Yungu Cableway/Yuping Cableway, it will be much easier➕ to hike to Bright Summit. Hiking all the way? Your legs will be wasted🫣! One day is not enough. Want to see the sunrise? You must stay on the mountain. If you are not physically strong, Bright Summit is your best choice. 3️⃣ During holidays, Hongcun/Xidi is also crowded with people. It is recommended to explore the surrounding areas: Yixian County: Nanping, Lucun, and Bishan, which are beautiful beyond words🌅 Huangshan District: Guocun Ancient Village and Taiping Lake, where you can enjoy lake food and speedboats🚢 Tunxi District: Xixinan Ancient Village and Tunxi Old Street, where you can feel the cultural atmosphere at night🌃 4️⃣ Choose only one of Hongcun/Xidi, and don't forget to wear Hanfu🥻. The ancient village will instantly become a blockbuster📸, leaving unforgettable moments🤳 5️⃣ Don't take a taxi from the roadside. Ask the hotel to arrange it or take a bus🚌. Can't find a car? Try the mini program🔍‹Huangshan Travel/Huihuang Tour›. There is a shuttle bus every hour/half an hour, and the price is affordable! 6️⃣ Encountering people waving to stop cars at the highway entrance? Ignore them🫣! 7️⃣ Bring a thin coat, disposable raincoat, and trekking pole🚶‍♂️ when climbing the mountain. The backpack should be light, with a small amount of food and water. Free warm water is provided on the mountain. 8️⃣ Free villages in Huangshan all year round🌿: Nanping, Pingshan, Daguling, Lucun, Tachuan 9️⃣ For more free ticket guides, see picture 4📝! 🍡 Street food is worth a try, but the pastries and drinks in the scenic area are just average🤣. Specialty souvenirs? Large supermarkets are more reliable!
