[2025 She County Attraction] Travel Guide for Jigongjian (Updated Feb)

🍂🍂 The fall scenery in Huangshan is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. 👉🏻 After visiting Huangshan, I must strongly recommend to my friends: If you come to Huangshan, be sure to choose November! ✅ Three must-do things in Huangshan in the fall: 1️⃣ Yu Qing Zhai's Huizhou Cuisine Feast Step into a Qing Dynasty old house and taste authentic farmhouse dishes. The two large persimmon trees in the courtyard are full of fruit, adding a touch of poetry to the meal. Tasting stinky mandarin fish and Huizhou rice wine under the persimmon trees is simply a delicacy. My classmates all said that such a pleasant experience is hard to compare even with Suzhou and Hangzhou. 📍 Location: Only a 10-minute drive from Huangshan North Station ⭐️ Nearby attractions: Xixinan, a great place to visit 2️⃣ The Persimmon Style of Jigongjian If you plan to go to Shexian County, consider a one-day tour combination of Huizhou Ancient City + Jigongjian or Yangchan Tulou. The persimmon trees in Jigongjian are a unique feature of Huangshan. The perfect blend of old rural houses and persimmon trees creates a unique fall landscape. Climb the mountains and enjoy the beautiful scenery, passing through chrysanthemum fields along the way. If you choose the direction of Yangchan Tulou, you can drive along the Xin'an River Landscape Gallery, and the scenery along the way is even more intoxicating. 3️⃣ The Spectacle of Chinese Tallow Trees in Yi County This year's Tachuan is simply breathtaking. The large golden rice fields and orange-red Chinese tallow trees complement each other, creating a stunning picture. And this year, admission is free! After visiting Tachuan, continue towards Hongcun, where I encountered my dream coffee shop—Chuntian Qiuchuan, a place that is hard to leave.

Jigongjian in Shangfeng, a hidden gem in Huizhou, is a must-visit for autumn foliage and persimmons. Jigongjian, also known as Jichuan Village, is a 500-year-old village in Shangfeng, Shexian County, just a 20-minute drive from the county seat. Thanks to the soft and fertile weathered granite soil and unique climate, flowers and fruits grow here all year round, earning it the nickname "Land of Flowers and Fruits" in Huangshan. Among them, persimmons are the most famous. Jigongjian persimmons have a long history, dating back to the 15th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Every household in the village has persimmon trees. Every autumn, when the persimmons are harvested, whether eaten fresh or as newly made persimmon cakes, the persimmons here are always worth the trip. As recorded in the Republic of China "Shexian County Chronicle": "The persimmons produced in Jigongjian, Shidu, are the most beautiful, and the method of making persimmon cakes is also good." Therefore, when admiring the autumn colors of Huizhou, people in the surrounding area love to visit Jigongjian. After a winding and colorful mountain road, arriving at the village is like entering a paradise of persimmons. As far as the eye can see, the mountains and fields, white walls, and black tiles are filled with plump and abundant orange-red persimmons. Walking among them, the persimmons hanging on the branches are round and lovely, or you can see strings of persimmon cakes drying in the sun, shining golden. Delicious and visible, they are also a good choice as a souvenir.
