Listen to my advice! Stop messing around with Huangshan! A veteran who's climbed it three times is telling you from the bottom of their heart: choosing the right time and avoiding common pitfalls will double your experience without hurting your wallet! 🙋♀️ 📅 Best Time to Visit (follow my advice) • March-May: Rhododendrons bloom across the mountains, and the clouds swirling around the strange rocks create a truly ethereal atmosphere. • September-November: Autumn leaves are ablaze with color, and clear skies offer a fantastic chance to photograph the sea of clouds. • Avoidance Tips: Winter snowscapes are beautiful, but the paths are slippery; beginners should be cautious. Avoid holidays! 2-Hour Queuing, 5-Minute View 🚶♀️ Effortless and Budget-Friendly Itinerary (2 Days 1 Night) Day 1: Tangkou Transfer Center → Yungusi Cable Car Up the Mountain (80 RMB, saves 2 hours of legwork) → Shixin Peak for photos of the unique pine trees → West Sea Grand Canyon for the popular mini-train (100 RMB, walking will be exhausting) → Paiyun Pavilion for sunset Day 2: Rush to Guangming Peak at 4 AM to secure a good spot for sunrise → Visit Feilai Stone (the same spot as in Dream of the Red Chamber) → Welcoming Pine (50 meters ahead is the Farewell Pine, even less crowded) → Yuping Cable Car Down the Mountain (90 RMB) 🍜 Eat Your Way Through Huangshan Without Disappointments • On the Mountain: Bring your own self-heating rice! Instant noodles at the mountaintop cost 25 yuan a bowl – a total rip-off! • Must-eats at the foot of the mountain: ◦ Tangkou Old Street Wonton: 10 yuan a bowl, perfect for a pre-climb meal. ◦ Tunxi Old Street Stone Cake: 5 yuan each, crispy and crumbly. ◦ Stinky Mandarin Fish: Smells pungent but tastes delicious; you can get it for 30+ yuan at the old shops. ◦ Lingshan Fermented Rice: Sweet and refreshing, can also be drunk as a beverage. ⚠️ Tips to Avoid These Rip-Offs 1. Don't buy train tickets for the wrong station! Huangshan North Station is closer to the scenic area; the old station can add an hour to your journey. 2. Hiking poles cost 5 yuan at the foot of the mountain, but renting them on the mountain costs 20 yuan – that price difference could buy a bottle of water! 3. Don't trust those touts offering accommodation at the foot of the mountain! Tangkou chain hotels (150+ RMB) offer super peace of mind. 4. Bring two bottles of mineral water; at 10 RMB per bottle, buying more is just adding weight to your training. 5. Don't buy "wild stone ear" (a type of mushroom); it's all farmed, a complete rip-off. Although my legs were shaking like leaves after the climb, the moment I stood on Bright Summit watching the sea of clouds surge, I almost cried! Remember to wear non-slip shoes and bring a power bank. Have a great time, and may your knees stay in good shape! #HuangshanTravelGuide #StudentTravel #HikingAvoidance

The first time I visited She County, on my university graduation trip, I couldn't even pronounce the character "She" (She) in the name. Since my roommate was a local, we booked our graduation trip here. Only by truly experiencing the misty Jiangnan landscape and the curling smoke from cooking fires can you truly experience what it's like to be here. The Huizhou culture here is rich, and the city towers are uniquely Huizhou. This National Day holiday, I returned with my family to experience the unique Huizhou culture and savor local delicacies. For example, there are wontons floating on the water hidden in the small square, stone cakes are ubiquitous, Lingshan fermented rice wine near the ancient city, and the notoriously stinky Huangshan hairy tofu and stinky mandarin fish. During this National Day trip, we also discovered a Huizhou-themed hot pot restaurant, Manmanwu Hot Pot. This two-story standalone building on the riverbank features a stylish decor perfect for photos and photo-ops while wearing Hanfu (Chinese traditional costume). 📷 Enjoy fresh hot pot with fresh-cut meat. Now in autumn and winter, clay oven-fired charcoal hot pot is perfectly in season.
