The Huizhou Sky Road travel guide is here! A breathtaking self-driving experience, set off now!

You will pass through many towns and villages such as Wangcun Town, Shaolian Township, Changpei Township, Shishi Township, Huangtian Township, and Jiekou Town in Shexian County. Due to the unique geological features, there may be temporary road closures, so the Huizhou Sky Road is also known as the "Huizhou Duku Highway" by self-driving enthusiasts. This Huizhou Sky Road, comparable to Xinjiang's "Duku Highway", takes you through the majestic Wugongling Ridge and Yunshang Changpei, reaching the red Shishi. Along the way, not only can you enjoy the landscapes of primeval forests, terraced tea gardens, and red revolutionary bases, but you can also taste the salty ham of Changpei, the crisp dried bamboo shoots, and the soft, sweet yam dates. It is worth mentioning that driving on the Huizhou Sky Road and enjoying the natural hot springs in the clouds at the top of Shishi Mountain to relax from the journey is definitely an excellent experience not to be missed. Due to the high altitude, the Huizhou Sky Road is like a "ribbon in the sky". Racing along it, every step is higher and more dangerous. You can touch the blue sky and white clouds with your hands and enjoy the impact of the beautiful scenery along the way, letting your spirit run wild! Standing between the towering mountains, at the "Golden Rice Bowl" viewing platform, you can admire the great rivers and mountains of Shishi. In the distance, the rosy clouds fill the sky, and the magnificent Sky Road is at your feet. "The most beautiful scenery is on the dangerous peaks." Passing Longgang is undoubtedly one of the landmarks worth checking in and lingering over. This marks the beginning of the Huizhou Sky Road's section above a kilometer in altitude. The "Xia Mantian" viewing platform at an altitude of 1078 meters, if the season is right, allows you to watch the sunset glow at dusk, which is very romantic. If it happens to be a snowy day, the view is filled with rime, as if entering a world of ice and snow. The creation of the themed wall tells the story of the "Huizhou Sky Road" and depicts the legend of "Red Shishi". The "Three Leaves" viewing platform is the third viewing platform built by the locals of Shishi Township. The platform is shaped like three "leaves", with golden leaves reaching out from the Huizhou Sky Road towards the village, symbolizing the new breakthroughs that the "Huizhou Sky Road" has brought to the local bamboo leaf, reed leaf, and tea leaf industries. Here, not only can you enjoy the local bamboo sea of thousands of acres, the Lion Stone, and the beauty of the village, but it is also easier to observe the sea of clouds, making it an excellent spot for taking great photos. Shishi Township uses the "red + green" development model, striving to create "Red Shishi, Ecological Secret Realm", and has built a number of nodes that are both visually and experientially enjoyable. By integrating the unique hot spring advantage into the farm stay, it fully leverages the local tourism resources. "Good scenery welcomes guests from all directions" Shishi Township, with over 5,000 acres of primeval forest, tens of thousands of acres of bamboo sea, natural hot springs, and red revolutionary culture, provides high-quality accommodation services for self-driving tourists, and the characteristic homestays are also worth checking in!
