She County's ordeal is over, really not recommended to go in November-December.

🌟 The ancient charm of Huizhou can't beat the damp cold of Jiangnan; even the ink is about to freeze! 📍 【Foreword】Ink-wash Huizhou turns into "Ice-wash Huizhou"! I imagined walking on the cobblestone streets of a Huizhou ancient town under a paper oil umbrella in the drizzle, but instead, the cold dampness pierced through my down jacket like a magic attack! She County, as the ancient Huizhou prefecture, has profound cultural heritage, but traveling there in November-December is very grueling. In the ancient Huizhou villages, the chill from inside out is even more unbearable than minus ten degrees in the north 😫. The high walls and deep wells of Huizhou merchant mansions make it harder for sunlight to get in, leaving your hands and feet cold during visits. The Xin'an River landscape gallery is often foggy this season, greatly diminishing the scenery. 🚗 【Transportation】 1️⃣ High-speed rail travelers: Arrive at She County North Station → outside the station there are buses or taxis to the county town/scenic spots, but for villages like Tangyue and Yuliang, taxi or self-driving is recommended. 2️⃣ Self-driving travelers: Highly recommended! The ancient villages are scattered, self-driving is flexible and convenient, and you can warm up in the car anytime. ⚠️ Warning: Rural buses run infrequently, waiting times are long, and waiting in the cold wind is very painful. 🎫 【Tickets】Combo and single tickets ✅ Huizhou Ancient City: Free entry to the city, but internal attractions like Xu Guo Stone Archway and Huizhou Garden require a combo ticket (about 100 RMB). ✅ Tangyue Archway Group + Bao Family Garden: Buy combo tickets; the archways stand in the fields, exposed and windy! ✅ Yuliang Dam: The ancient town is free, the dam scenery is good but also very windy. 💰 Suggestion: If time is tight, just choose the core attractions, no need to buy the full set; combine indoor and outdoor visits. 🏞️ 【Cultural Tour】(Warm version route) 💥 Huizhou Ancient City: A must-visit to feel the prefecture city atmosphere. Visit more indoor spots like Huizhou Prefecture Office and museums to avoid the wind and learn. 💥 Tangyue Archway Group: Seven archways standing in the fields, very impressive, but be sure to go on a good weather day, or it will be cold and hard to take good photos. 💥 Yuliang Dam: Known as the "Dujiangyan of Jiangnan," the ancient town has a strong local life vibe; walking through the old streets can block the wind. 💥 Xin'an River Landscape Gallery: Boat tours may be suspended or infrequent in the off-season, and the autumn colors on both banks are gone, greenery withered, scenery average. 🏨 【Accommodation】Heating equipment is key 💰 Homestays inside the ancient city: Have an antique charm experience, but be sure to check if the room has air conditioning + electric blanket! Many old houses have very poor insulation. 🌟 Safe choice: Stay in hotels in the new district of She County town, standardized management, guaranteed heating, and much more convenient dining. 🍜 【Food】Hot soup and heavy oil 🍲 Huizhou fermented tofu: Classic snack, just try it, unique taste. 🍲 Stinky mandarin fish: Huizhou cuisine's signature dish, smells bad but tastes good, very appetizing. 🍲 Jixi fried vermicelli, stone cakes: Various snacks, find a restaurant and order a few dishes to eat hot. 🐟 Shendu wrapped dumplings: Specialty by the Xin'an River, try if you go to Shendu town. ⚠️ Note: Drink plenty of hot tea! There are many local tea houses; going in for a cup of tea to warm up is excellent. 📸 【Photo spots** Under the Tangyue Archway Group: Use a telephoto lens to capture the sequence of archways. On Yuliang Dam: Shoot the dam and Xin'an River, best light at dawn and dusk. Huizhou Ancient City walls: Overlook the ancient city’s black and white rooftops. Any small alley: Capture the horse-head walls and details of Huizhou-style architecture.
