Huangshan is truly divine in autumn! Unlock the wonders of both a fairyland and an ancient village in 3 days. (Opening shot: Close-up of the surging sea of clouds at Guangmingding → Cut to Hongcun's autumn shadows at Moon Pond → The sizzling sound of stinky mandarin fish being drenched in hot oil) 🌄 Must-see scenic spots (Autumn Limited Edition) 1. Huangshan Scenic Area: Autumn forests paint a vibrant red, and unusual pines and rocks hide amidst the vibrant trees. Enjoy the expansive sunrise from Guangmingding, eliminating the need to crowd Danxia Peak. Catch the sunset from Paiyun Pavilion, where the sunset glows against the grotesque rocks for a truly captivating experience. Ride the viral mini-train at the Xihai Grand Canyon for breathtaking panoramic views of the karst landscape. 2. Hongcun: The autumn waters of Nanhu reflect the cascading forests and whitewashed walls and black tiles, while the bluestone pavement is dusted with yellow leaves, creating a feeling of stepping into an autumn ink painting. Moon Pond is deserted in the morning, so take in the reflections of the horse-head wall—never miss a moment. In the evening, visit the persimmon trees at the village entrance for a truly bountiful experience. 3. Chengkan Ancient Village: A thousand-year-old village quieter than Hongcun, the 7pm fish lantern show is a must-see. Over a dozen colorful fish lanterns dance to the beat of drums, bringing them to life. Autumn is perfect for sunbathing, and corn and chili peppers hanging in front of the earthen buildings are a dazzling sight. 4. Tachuan: The autumn palette of Huizhou, with crimson maples and ginkgo trees intertwined with pink walls and black tiles, is breathtakingly beautiful in the still-light morning mist, a true photography masterpiece. 📝 3-Day Immersive Itinerary (No Detours or Pitfalls) Day 1: Autumn in the Ancient Village • Arrive at Huangshan North Station by high-speed rail.
