Xiaogushan is located in the Yangtze River 60 kilometers southeast of Susong County. It is the head of the Wanjiang River, with a solitary peak and a pillar in the middle of the river. Since the Qin Dynasty, Xiaogushan has been famous for "the isolated island in the Yangtze River" and "the sea gate stone pillar", attracting emperors, generals, literati and scholars to linger and leave many popular poems. Since ancient times, the mountain has been worshipped as the highest inland Mazu in China and has unique natural and cultural landscapes, so it has been popular with many tourists.

We took my dad on a road trip to Baiya Village. The temperature was exceptionally high the day we arrived. There weren't many people there. Once inside, we barely needed an umbrella; the trees provided plenty of shade. The signage inside wasn't very clear, and I suggest the management improve this aspect of the service.

You need to drive yourself, the road up the mountain is very beautiful. The buildings in the temple are reconstructions from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to modern times. Some ancient trees and ancient towers are more than a thousand years old. The contemporary buildings next to it are also worth stopping. The ancient mountain road behind the temple can be reached at the half-mountain pavilion. The building on the top of the mountain is in an unfinished state. Parking is free, the scenic area is free, and there are not many tourists.

The trees are towering and lush. There is no commercial atmosphere here, everything is pristine. The most famous things in the scenic area are the ingenious stones, ancient caves, secluded valleys, and strange trees. There are large tracts of bamboo forests, which are full of fragrance.

Everyone says Lushan is a natural air-conditioned room, and I personally experienced it. In the summer evenings, the cool mountain breeze instantly dispelled the heat of hiking. I was initially worried about the difficulty of the route, as my physical condition is average and I don't hike often. However, I was surprised to find myself successfully completing the entire trek across all five peaks. The transitions between peaks weren't continuous steep slopes; I could walk a bit, rest occasionally, enjoy the breeze, and gaze at the distant mountains – the views were expansive. The evening breeze was the biggest surprise of the trip; the fresh scent of grass and trees mingled with the cool air, without the stifling heat of midsummer.

Visited on 12/09/2026. Review: Very beautiful!! It is a big attraction with a lot of different scenes to view and explore. It was a bit crowded though. Depending which hiking path you bought, you line up and wait to be transported to that exact spot through the Tangkou bus station. The bus is one way and it costs 19 RMB, not included in the scenic park's entrance ticket. Furthermore, you have to take the cablecar to go up the mountain and enjoy the hiking paths. The bus for the path I chose went directly to the Yuping cablecar where a one way ride costs 90 RMB. Then I descended from the Yungu cablecar, one way ride 80 RMB, and took the bus to Tangkou bus station, 19 RMB. The bus makes other stops through the city as well. Transport: I went there from my hotel near Huangshanbei via a shared car arranged by the hotel owner, 30 RMB. Then for my return I took the bus from Tangkou station to Huangshanbei for the price of 30 RMB.

Visual Impact: The most breathtaking moment is around 6:30 PM when the lights come on, illuminating the entire village on the cliffside one by one, contrasting sharply with the darkening sky. It can be described as a "real-life celestial palace" or "a fairyland descending to earth." - Illumination Atmosphere: The scenic area deliberately uses warm yellow lighting, avoiding glaring neon effects and creating a warm, relaxing, and enchanting atmosphere, like home. This light, reflected in the stream, resembles "a galaxy falling into the canyon." - Day and Night Contrast: Many tourists feel the daytime scenery is relatively ordinary, while the nighttime illumination transforms it into a completely different world. Reviews can emphasize this stark contrast—"feeling a waste during the day, but worth it at night"—highlighting the core value of the night view.

1. The autumn drying scene is highly recognizable; the rooftop drying racks are an ancient local custom, displaying vibrant colors on sunny days and making for excellent aerial shots. The misty scenery along Huaxi Water Street is ethereal and perfect for portrait photography. 2. The ancient buildings are well-preserved, featuring Hui-style horse-head walls, ancestral halls, and old alleys, along with the Leixin Bridge and terraced field viewing platforms, creating a rich and layered landscape.

My hometown's Yellow Crane Tower is known as the "Number One Tower Under Heaven." Its majestic eaves and rich cultural heritage offer panoramic views of the Yangtze River and the three towns of Wuhan. No matter how many times I've visited, each visit evokes a different feeling; it is truly a symbol of Wuhan.
