[2025 Longchuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Huoshan Scenic Area (Updated Apr)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Huoshan is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong Province, famous for its peculiar rocks and steep cliffs. I thought there wouldn't be any foreign tourists in this remote place, but I actually met tourists from Hong Kong, and I instantly felt at home. It turns out that I'm not the only one who comes here just to see a mountain! Huoshan's facilities are much more complete than before. I remember many years ago, some of its 90-degree stairs had no fences, and walking up them would make people tremble.🥶 In addition to the beautiful scenery, Huoshan has many steep stairs, which is very challenging for your leg strength. It also requires a lot of physical strength. There is a small shop halfway along the way where you can buy some ginger tea, tofu pudding, and snacks. The prices are not expensive. Next to the shop, you can ride the magic carpet for an additional fee (only if you don't buy a package). It is very friendly to tourists with relatively weak physical strength. (Be sure to follow the instructions of the staff when riding the magic carpet and pay attention to safety.) 🌟🌟🌟 In addition to hiking, Huoshan's glass plank road and sky plank road are also worth visiting. You need to wear dust-proof socks on its glass plank road, so the glass is cleaner and more transparent. (Shivering 🥶) Before you finish walking along the plank road, there will be staff to help you take photos. At the exit, you can find your own photos with photo frames. You can choose to buy them or not. (The price is not expensive and it is of great commemorative value.) 🌟🌟🌟 A Line of Sky (a very special scenic spot) The ingenious workmanship of nature seems to have split a mountain in half. Walking in the gap in the sky, the temperature drops instantly. If the weather is too hot, it is cool and comfortable here. Huoshan is a brilliant pearl in Longchuan and the No.1 scenic spot for flower viewing and outing. If you want to find something new and different to try, you can come and have a look. The whole journey takes 4-5 hours, which is definitely enough to kill a day and bring a day of physical and mental health.😊 🌟🌟🌟 📍Address: Dongjiang Village, Tianxin Town, Longchuan County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province 🕰️Opening hours: 08:00–17:30 transportation: 🚄 🚌 Depart from Hong Kong: West Kowloon High Speed ​​Rail Station - Longchuan West (the fastest time to arrive is 1 hour and 36 minutes) Depart from Shenzhen North: Shenzhen North High-speed Railway Station - Longchuan West (the fastest time to arrive is one hour and 16 minutes) 1: Take a taxi or Gaode Taxi from Longchuan West High-speed Railway Station to Huoshan Scenic Area. 2: From Longchuan Railway Station, take bus No. 1 to the bus terminal and transfer to the Huoshan tourist bus. #Huoshan #Longchuan #Heyuan

The route mainly consists of mountain trails and stairs. People who don’t exercise often say they can easily complete it. Although it is a niche attraction, it is full of surprises 🔸It is recommended to go up the mountain in the afternoon. I arrived at the foot of the mountain around 12:00, had a meal, and started to go up the mountain at about 14:00. Most of the way was in the shade, with sunshine where it should be and shade where it should be. It did not affect taking photos at all, and the key point was that you could avoid the crowds! You can make a movie at will! As for meals, there are many farmhouse restaurants at the entrance of the scenic area, which are economical and serve large portions. Eat well and start working. Come on! Travel ✔️ Few people ✔️ Oxygen ✔️ Sports ✔️ 🔹Have you heard of the "Nature Effect"? Nature has a profound impact on humans, and this impact is called the "nature effect." Contact with nature and the sounds of nature, such as the sound of water and birdsong, can help improve mood, relieve stress, reduce pain, improve cognitive ability, heal the body and mind, reduce the level of cortisol (stress hormone) in the body, and allow the brain control center to relax and rest.

Huoshan is truly a huge surprise! It is an overlooked famous mountain in Guangdong, with magic carpets, glass bridges, and a 360-degree panoramic view that is spectacular and deserves widespread promotion. Lingshan Temple reminds me of the Hanging Temple, similarly situated halfway up the mountain, with the continuous sound of cicadas. Located in the central part of Longchuan County, Heyuan, it is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong and a provincial-level forest park, known for its precipitous red cliffs and strange rocks. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were no big mountains here. It was said that when the goddess Nüwa was mending the sky, she scattered the remaining mortar on earth, which happened to fall on Huoshan, thus making the mountain present steep cliffs, towering precipices, and a variety of strangely shaped rocks that are breathtaking. Huoshan was not called Huoshan in the past. Later, during the chaos of the Chu-Han Contention, the ancestors of the famous scholar Huo Long moved from Wu to Yue and settled in Longchuan, living in seclusion on Huoshan. When Emperor Gaozu of Han was in power, he once asked Huo Long to leave the mountain to take office, but Huo Long had no interest in officialdom and said, 'Longchuan is the birthplace of dragons. If the dragon leaves the stream, it might as well be granted death,' politely declining and choosing to live in seclusion on Huoshan. He wrote books, spread culture, enlightened the locals, and after achieving his work, he became an immortal, leaving his name in the world. In gratitude for his beneficence, the people named the mountain after him. Huoshan has many scenic spots, with 372 steep peaks, 48 of which are famous, 27 rocks, 8 great caves, and 11 springs. It is truly a place where thousands of rocks compete in beauty, and thousands of ravines vie in flow, with each peak having its own unique form and every place presenting a spectacle. Therefore, for thousands of years, many scholars, poets, monks, and Taoists have come in an endless stream.

Huoshan Scenic Area: Danxia seen from a distance and Huoshan seen from close up It’s not as famous as Danxia Mountain, but the scenery is definitely not bad. There are not as many people as in Danxia Mountain, so it is convenient for taking photos. Tickets are 88 yuan, and there are discounts for online ticket purchases. There is a package ticket for the magic mat + glass plank road, 125 yuan. Personally, I feel that the glass plank road is not a necessary choice. The suspended plank road is the only way down the mountain, and the scenery is similar. The magic mat is convenient for the elderly. Young people can climb the stairs. The stairs are just steeper, but still safe. Denggaogang and Chuantoushi are the highest points in the scenic area. They are great for taking photos, but they are just a test of your physical strength. The total playing time, stopping and walking, takes 6-7 hours. There are supply points along the way, where local villagers carry supplies up the mountain to sell, and the prices are slightly higher.

Huoshan Tourist Scenic Area has three hundred and seventy-two peaks, among which the most exquisite one is called the Great Buddha Trace. During the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, there was a man named Huo Long, styled Lingyang, who lived here, hence the name Huoshan. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were no big mountains here. It was because when the goddess Nüwa was mending the sky, she scattered the remaining bit of building paste onto the mortal world, which happened to fall on Huoshan, thus making Huoshan present steep cliffs, sheer precipices, standing tall in the sky, with strange rocks and a thousand different postures, making it an extraordinary mountain peak that astonishes onlookers. Huoshan is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong, a provincial-level forest park, and a national AAAA-rated tourist area, known far and wide for its perilous red cliffs and strange rocks. Whenever there is fog, one can see clouds and mist below, with peaks revealing their sharp stones, and the sky barely visible. If you are in this place, you see clouds below, peaks above, with clouds and mist moving back and forth under your feet, suddenly rising and falling, entwining and dispersing rapidly, creating a myriad of weather phenomena, as if ascending to the fairy mountains and jade towers, truly a scene where only the sky is above, with no mountain equal in height. Standing on the peak and looking into the distance, the sky is high and the earth is wide, boundless, with thousands of mountains faintly visible, and a thousand more mountains lush with greenery, clouds low and mist hazy, ridges racing like elephants. The boundaries of the seven counties of Longchuan, Wuhua, Zijin, Dongyuan, Lianping, Heping, and Boluo are clearly in sight, and the two rivers of Dong and Han appear like green silk ribbons, dancing among the mountains, with fields and villages resembling a paradise on earth, such a beautiful fairyland! No wonder when Su Dongpo wandered here in the past, he was inspired to chant: 'Huoshan's fine aura wraps around like lush onions, its presence overpowering the number one peak of Xunzhou; the stone path's surface dust is swept away by the rain, the cave door is unlocked, inviting the clouds to seal; the boat's head where immortals once crossed, the jar's wine from yesteryear even more robust; with swift steps ascend and open your eyes, the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River reflects in the pupils.' The estimated tour time is about 4 hours.
