There are 43 national rare species and 13 national protected animals. I didn't pay to enter the scenic area, but you can drive around the Grand Canyon for free. 🚘Navigation "Baizhangyan" Climbing up the narrow mountain road, overlooking the canyon, the rocks are jagged, just as the ancient temple said. "The rapids and waterfalls compete with each other in noise, and the rocks rolling down the cliffs make the valleys thunder." The mountain road near Baizhang Rock is narrower and more dangerous. It is a bit difficult to meet the scenic area bus, so you need to drive carefully. Near Baizhang Rock, we found a wild road to the canyon. There are many hiking groups on the road, saying they are going to [Buffalo Back] for hiking and rock climbing. There are also many places to play in the water in summer. If you want to enter the scenic area, navigate directly to "Zhanshan Grand Canyon" There is a scenic bus to take you to the pedestrian entrance. 💵Ticket price: 49 yuan 🕰Opening hours: 8:00-17:00. No entry after 16:00

Deceived by online photos to come to Zhangshan Grand Canyon, but fortunately did some homework in advance, the experience was excellent! Seeing many people say that parking and entering the mountain is very difficult, I got up early and arrived at the scenic spot at 8 o'clock. There were still many empty spaces in the parking lot at the entrance, and staff arranged parking. We smoothly took the shuttle bus directly to the top of the mountain. There is basically only one road up and down the mountain here, and indeed taking the shuttle bus halfway will save some effort. The staff suggested that if there is no queue for the bus going up the mountain, take the bus up first, because usually there are more people waiting for the bus down at the top of the mountain. It turned out that getting up early really meant fewer people! It had just rained yesterday, and it was particularly cool in the mountains. There are no places selling water and food on the mountain, so it is recommended to bring your own. There are also some sold at the entrance of the scenic spot, but the variety is limited. When we left the scenic spot, it was around 10 o'clock, and by then the parking lot at the entrance had already started to have long queues. Many people parked their cars in distant parking lots and walked up. 🌈 Scenic Spot Features: Cool in summer, the natural canyon is really healing! 🎟️ Ticket Information: Tickets 50💰, Shuttle Bus 10💰 🕐️ Scenic Spot Opening Hours: 8:00-17:30 ⚠️ Pay attention to the scenic spot's official WeChat account in advance, as it will not be open in bad weather. 💗 Other Tips: Playtime is 2 hours (take the bus up and walk down). If you want to play in the water, remember to bring slippers, towels, socks, and water guns, as they are not sold on the mountain.

During the mini holiday, I was lured to the Zhashan Grand Canyon by online pictures, but thankfully I did my homework in advance and had a fantastic experience! To put it succinctly: ☞Get up early❗ Bring water! Bring socks!☜ ☞☞Definitely start out very very early☜☜ 📍Attraction Address: Drive to the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area. It is not recommended to park at the parking lot for the scenic shuttle bus at the foot of the mountain, as it takes at least half an hour to walk up from there. 🚗Transportation to the Attraction: I saw many people saying that parking and entering the mountain was difficult, so I got up early and arrived at the scenic area at 8 am. There were plenty of spaces in the parking lot at the entrance, with staff arranging parking, and I smoothly took the scenic shuttle bus straight to the mountain top. When I left the scenic area at around 10 am, the parking lot at the entrance was already starting to queue up, and many people parked in the distant parking lot and walked up. 👍️Must-Visit Spots: There is basically only one road up and down the mountain, and indeed taking the shuttle bus for half the journey saves some effort. The staff recommended that if there is no queue for the bus going up the mountain, take it first, as usually, there will be more people waiting for the bus down from the mountain top. 🎟️Ticket Information: Tickets are 50💰, and the shuttle bus is 10💰 💗Other tips: It turns out that getting up early really does mean fewer people! It had just rained yesterday, so it was particularly cool in the mountains. There are no places selling water or food on the mountain, so it's advisable to bring your own. There are also some for sale at the entrance of the scenic area, but not many varieties. You will definitely want to play in the water in the canyon, and seeing such beautiful streams, even adults can't resist going in for the experience, so bring some tissues or an extra pair of socks to change into if they get wet. It is not recommended to wear holey shoes, as the mountain paths can be a bit slippery and unsafe!

The scenery is beautiful with fewer people, which is not tiring! During holidays, if you don't want to travel long distances, visiting such small attractions is really great! The advantages of Zhanshan Grand Canyon are: 1️⃣ Although it requires walking, it's only a one-way 2 kilometers, and you can choose to only walk downhill, which is not tiring. 2️⃣ Full of negative oxygen ions, along the way you can see rocky mountains⛰️ green forests🌲 caves🪨 waterfalls and streams🌊 especially the water, which is very clear. It's great for wearing stream trekking shoes in the summer to play in the water and catch shrimp and fish with a net. The only downside is that it's quite tiring to carry children up the mountain, you have to hold the child the whole way hhh, the stone road is a bit steep for children under 3 years old. Scenic area information: 🎫Ticket: 49 yuan when purchased online, the exchange window will only give you a small ticket, be sure to keep it safe, don't lose it. 🚗Shuttle bus: 10 yuan, children also need to buy a ticket, charged per person. It's only for a one-way trip, not round-trip. No matter how many people, they will only give you 1 ticket, which will have the number of people written in traditional characters on it. 🕰Tour time: 1.5h-3h, it can be longer or shorter, I will explain later. 💘Tips: 1️⃣ Try to get to the mountain as early as possible, the scenic area currently opens at 8 am, and parking is free. The advantage of arriving early is fewer people, and it's also more likely to rain in the mountains, so the climate will be better in the morning. 2️⃣ If you have good stamina, you can choose to walk both ways, which takes about 2h-3h, depending on how long you rest along the way. If you want to save energy and take it easy, you can take the shuttle bus to the mountain from the starting point, and then walk all the way down. My friend brought a child, so they chose this method, and it only took 1.5h, and they also took a long rest in the corridor to avoid the rain.

The Zhangshan Grand Canyon is so beautiful. After the rain, the air in the scenic area is exceptionally fresh. Arriving at 8 am, there is no need to queue, and there aren't too many people. We chose to walk up the mountain and take a car down. It's very comfortable, with no particularly steep roads. The whole journey takes about an hour and a half. When we returned, we found that the traffic police had already started to direct traffic at the base of the mountain.

Wondering where to go for the weekend, I thought about finding a place within a two-hour drive, so I zoomed in on the map and started choosing. I came across a city that neither of us had visited or knew much about - Xuancheng. After picking the city, I began to look up scenic areas and routes recommended by netizens and locals, and then decided to go to the Zhan Mountain Grand Canyon in Jixi County. Since it's a four-hour drive one way, we decided to stay overnight in Jixi County at the Huizhou Guli Hotel. On Sunday, we woke up naturally, had breakfast, and set off. We bought the park tickets online for 98 yuan for two people. The park has shuttle buses, 10 yuan per person for a single trip. We chose to hike up the mountain and take the bus down. The leisurely hike and photo-taking took about 2 hours in total. The steps on the mountain are not steep, but the water flows rapidly, so safety is important. On the way back, the road down the mountain passes through a narrow country lane, but it's smooth all the way. Since it was the off-season, there was no congestion. We rested twice at service areas, and the total return trip took about 4 hours. The scenic area is definitely worth visiting. Oh, and remember! Do not litter! The place is super beautiful, and there are enough trash bins. Just hold onto your trash for a moment, and you'll find a bin after walking a bit. Such beautiful scenery must be protected!!

Following the recommendation of two cycling friends on the Huizhou Sky Road, we rushed to Changxi Township in Shexian County, and cycled along the road beside the mountain canyon stream. The scenery along the way was indeed stunning. By combining driving and cycling, we reached a place of high mountains and beautiful waters, where the road markings turned into a three-colored rainbow line. There was a sign indicating that we were entering the Huizhou National Forest Park, an especially tranquil environment, which suddenly inspired us to stay overnight in a mountain village. We smoothly checked into a newly built four-story beautiful B&B, which was perfectly located by the stream passing through the village, at the center of a mountain village embraced by hills and water, enjoying a uniquely favorable location. Pulling back the curtains of the room, we saw a vast expanse of neatly arranged rapeseed flowers in the distance, and nearby, the babbling stream under the shade of ancient trees. The B&B owners were kind and generous, having done business in Shanghai for over a decade, and they proudly praised their hometown as the most beautiful place. In spring, one can see the mountains blooming with flowers, and in autumn, observe the mountains covered in red leaves, with the sound of mountain springs falling continuously to the ear, creating a poetic and picturesque atmosphere in all four seasons. Hence, the B&B was named 'Listen to the Water, Chant of the Maple'. Our village, named Shuizhukeng Village, also known as Zhuxi Village, has a history of several hundred years dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. The villagers are hardworking and the local customs are simple and pure, making it a rather authentic ancient village. After staying one night in the clean and new inn, the next day we visited the scenic spot 'Zhanshan Grand Canyon', 8 kilometers away from Shuizhukeng Village, and it was a trip well worth it!

Jixi in Anhui is one of the national historical and cultural cities, and it was also the most important county in the ancient Huizhou Prefecture. If Shexian is considered the root of Huizhou, then Jixi must be the fruit of Huizhou. Many 'Gongfangming' such as Hui merchants, Hui cuisine, and Hui ink all originated from Jixi. With its beautiful mountains and clear waters, and its reputation for outstanding people and spirit of the place, how could one not visit Jixi? Traveling alone to Jixi in Anhui, to reminisce about the county with the most authentic Huizhou atmosphere, is a joy indeed! 1. Accommodation budget: Although Jixi's economy is not very strong, the cost of living is quite a bit higher than the surrounding areas. The accommodation environment is average, but the room rates are not low. Choosing a budget chain hotel costs 198 yuan per night, totaling 396 yuan for two nights. 2. Dining budget: In Jixi, not only is the hotel cost-performance not high, but the price of meals is also on the higher side. Fortunately, Jixi's Hui cuisine has a long-standing reputation, which is acceptable. The average dining cost per person in Jixi is around 110 yuan, with a total of 5 main meals and 3 breakfasts over 3 days. The 5 main meals cost 600 yuan, and the 3 breakfasts cost 90 yuan, making the total dining budget 690 yuan. 3.

It is best to rely on taxis for city transportation, and local drivers all charge a fixed price.

The taxi fare to Ziyuan is 25 yuan, to Zhangshan Grand Canyon 200 yuan (round trip), to Huizhou Ancient Trail 120 yuan, to Longchuan Scenic Area 50 yuan. There are direct rural buses to Zhangshan Grand Canyon, Longchuan Scenic Area, and Huizhou Ancient Trail, with ticket prices not exceeding 20 yuan, but the bus schedules are very limited and require a lot of travel, so it is not recommended to take rural buses. The transportation budget is 410 yuan. The total budget for a 3-day, 2-night trip to Jixi is 396 yuan + 690 yuan + 197 yuan + 410 yuan = 1693 yuan.

||. Anhui Jixi Local recommended attractions: Zhan Mountain Grand Canyon Ticket + shuttle bus 💰 around 60 (cheaper to buy tickets on Ctrip than on-site), free admission with Jixi local ID card. The shuttle bus will take you to a place in the mountain, then go to the well-maintained path next to the canyon, walk all the way to the end, and return to the ticket office. It took us 1.5 hours to walk and take pictures all the way. It is said that locals will come here to escape the heat and swim in the summer. We who came in winter feel that the water is indeed very clear, constantly flowing living water. It's really beautiful, it's a pity that you can't play with water in winter. Apart from the Huizhang Ancient Road, this place is highly recommended!
