National Geographic didn't lie, Huangshan and Qiyun Mountain are must-visit stunning places in a lifetime!
🏞️ Whether it's Xu Xiake's 'After climbing Huangshan, no other mountain is worth seeing,' or the Taoist sacred site Qiyun Mountain, these two dazzling pearls of Huangshan City have always been the poets' longing since ancient times. But it is only after experiencing it in person that one realizes the ancient descriptions were actually conservative. 🎨✨
👨👩👧👦 This time, I took my parents on a trip that needed to be both relaxing and enjoyable, so I chose the four-day tour package of Huangshan and Qiyun Mountain by Xiangyuan Travel. The entire journey is by cable car, saving effort and legs, with Huangshan's special afternoon tea available anytime for a break. We stayed in 5-diamond hotels throughout, allowing the elders to have a comfortable vacation. 🌟🏨
📅 The four-day itinerary is relaxed yet fulfilling:
Day 1: Depart from Tangkou, check into Xiangyuan Yungu Hotel, hike the ancient path, and taste new Huizhou cuisine. 🍲👣
Day 2: Climb Huangshan to watch the sunrise, take the Yungu cable car directly to the top, enjoy afternoon tea at Yupinglou, and stay overnight at Qiyun Mountain Resort. 🌄🍵
Day 3: Visit Yunyan Lake, taste farmhouse dishes, and have a night tour of Qiyun Town. 🌃🍜
Day 4: Stroll the ancient path of Qiyun, experience the Free Home Camp, and finally return to Huangshan North Station. 🏞️🛤️
🧗♂️ The routes of Huangshan and Qiyun Mountain are easy and less crowded, covering all the essential scenic spots. Especially Qiyun Mountain, deeply rooted in Taoist culture, is an excellent place for health and wellness, where parents can enjoy tranquility and relax their minds and bodies. 🍃🧘♀️
🏔️ Huangshan, the number one strange mountain in the world, is famous for its odd pines, bizarre rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs, and winter snow. Afternoon tea at Yupinglou allows you to enjoy both the scenery and the food. 🌄🍵
🏞️ Qiyun Mountain, one of the four famous Taoist mountains, features Yuxu Palace, Huizhou-style villages, and magnificent sea of clouds. Summer night tours, Hanfu costume changes, and photo opportunities are all breathtaking. 👗📸
🚣♂️ Hengjiang River bamboo rafting, with emerald green water, Huizhou ancient villages, and climbing Fengqiao Bridge, feels like traveling in a painting. 🏞️🌉
🏮 Qiyun Town, night tour of Huizhou town, experience intangible cultural heritage, carve longevity bamboo carvings, and send blessings to parents. 🧧🎁
🌳 Qiyun Mountain Free Home Camp, treehouses hidden in the forest, 21 themed rooms, imaginative and full of surprises. The club, pet paradise, and treehouse restaurant are suitable for family trips. With high negative ion levels, it is an excellent choice for a vacation. 🍃👧👦

Regret only comes when you realize Anhui is a severely underrated place
This year, for a festive atmosphere that really feels like the holiday season, Anhui is definitely on the list. Let me recommend an off-the-beaten-path beauty spot that's great for photos, Qi Yun Mountain~
During the Spring Festival period all the way to the Lantern Festival, there are also festival-limited activities, such as iron flower performances, fireworks shows, the Hengjiang dance of the golden dragon, fish lantern garden parties, and so on~
📌: Qi Yun Mountain, Xiuning, Anhui
🚌: After getting off at Huangshan Station, it's a 30-minute taxi ride
⚠️Spring Festival limited-time benefits:
From February 1-25, tourists with the zodiac signs 'Dragon, Dog, Rabbit, Ox', upon presenting their ID card, can enjoy free admission to Qi Yun Mountain scenic area❗️
From now until February 16, Huangshan returnees, upon presenting their return high-speed train ticket + Huangshan city ID card, can also enjoy free admission to Qi Yun Mountain❗️
Recommended two-day, one-night itinerary
D1: Arrive at Qi Yun Mountain — Qi Yun Town (National style concert, peddler parade, five blessings for the new year, town market) — Night view (fish lanterns, dance of the golden dragon, fireworks show)
D2: Take the cable car up the mountain — Hiking (from Yuehua cable car to Xianlou Dream Bridge to Shouzi Rock to Yuehua Street to Taisu Palace — Xiaohu Sky to Yuxu Palace to Ziyun Pass to Wulao Peak to Fangla Fort to Danxia Corridor — to the highest peak and then down the mountain), the whole journey takes about 4 hours, prepare some snacks and water~
Must-visit spots
✅Yuxu Palace, the famous red Taoist temple you've seen online
✅Fangla Fort, a staircase that shoots straight up the cliff, offering a panoramic view of Qi Yun Mountain
✅Yuehua Street, a Huizhou-style village on the cliff, full of life and atmosphere
✅Danxia Corridor, Danxia landform, where you can take photos like in a Western blockbuster
Accommodation🏨: I stayed at the Xiangfu Rui Resort Hotel, just a few steps from Qi Yun Town and only a 50-meter walk from the cable car
