Mount Huangshan Scenic Area

9.1
4.8/5

Mount Huangshan Scenic Area is located in Tangkou Town, Huangshan District, Huangshan City. Since ancient times, Mount Huangshan has been one of China's most renowned mountains. Its peculiar pines, strange rocks, sea of clouds, and hot springs are known as the "Four Wonders" of Mount Huangshan. In addition to these, rime, snowscapes, and sunrises are also views that visitors will not miss. There is an ancient saying: "Having visited the Five Great Mountains, one need not look at any other mountains; having visited Mount Huangshan, one need not look at the Five Great Mountains." The attraction is divided into the south gate, west gate, and north gate. The vast majority of visitors enter and exit through the south gate, which has two entrances and exits—front mountain and back mountain—both close to Tangkou Town at the foot of the mountain. The town has also become a transfer hub for visiting Huangshan, and many visitors arrive here in advance to stay overnight. From Tangkou Town to the attraction entrance, you need to take the Huangshan New National Line shuttle bus, which stops at the front mountain gate (Ciguang Pavilion), the back mountain gate (Yungu Temple), and the Huangshan-Hot Spring attraction. Visiting the attraction mainly involves two routes up the mountain, the front mountain and the back mountain, both leading to one of the main peaks, Bright Summit. On the other side of Bright Summit, there is also a loop route — the West Sea Grand Canyon. Front mountain The front mountain refers to the hiking route starting from Ciguang Pavilion to Yuping Tower at the summit (accessible directly by the Yuping Cable Car), as well as the Mount Huangshan Scenic Area - Lotus Peak and Tiandu Peak areas at the summit. The scenery of the front mountain is grand and majestic, making it very suitable for enjoying panoramic views from the cable car. Both the highest peak, Mount Huangshan Scenic Area - Lotus Peak, and the other main peak, Tiandu Peak, are located here (the two peaks open alternately). There are also classic attractions such as the Guest-Greeting Pine, Jiulong Peak - Carp Back, Hundred-Step Ladder, One-Line Sky, and Tianhai. Back mountain The back mountain refers to the hiking route from Yungu Temple to Bai'e Ridge (accessible directly by the Mount Huangshan Yungu Cableway), as well as the mountaintop areas behind Bai'e Ridge such as Shixin Peak, Mount Huangshan Scenic Area - Shizi Peak, and West Sea Grand Canyon - Paiyun Pavilion. The scenery of the back mountain consists mostly of exquisite mountain views, suitable for enjoying on foot along the way. Flying Stone and Monkey Watching the Sea are both located here. West sea grand canyon West sea grand canyon officially opened in 2000. The canyon is deep and the scenery is very magnificent, and it is known as the true gathering place of Huangshan's essential scenery. West sea grand canyon can be entered from West Sea Grand Canyon - Paiyun Pavilion in the summit area of the back mountain, and after looping around inside the canyon, you return to the main peak area of Tianhai. It takes about 2 hours to walk down from West Sea Grand Canyon - Paiyun Pavilion to the bottom of the canyon, and then you can take a cable car to Tianhai. Route recommendations The standard way to visit Huangshan is a two-day tour, with routes divided into ascending via the front mountain and descending via the back mountain (front mountain - West Sea Grand Canyon - back mountain) or ascending via the back mountain and descending via the front mountain (back mountain - West Sea Grand Canyon - front mountain). Ascending via the front mountain and descending via the back mountain is suitable for taking the cable car up and walking down, which is both relaxing and allows you to enjoy the exquisite scenery of the latter half. However, since the essential route of the West Sea Grand Canyon runs from West Sea Grand Canyon - Paiyun Pavilion to Tianhai, you will have to backtrack along a section of the trail. It is possible to visit Huangshan in just one day, but the itinerary will be tight. It is recommended to ascend via the rear mountain and descend via the front mountain, taking the cable car both ways, and to either skip climbing the main peaks of the front mountain (Mount Huangshan Scenic Area - Lotus Peak / Tiandu Peak) or skip the West Sea Grand Canyon. Stay selection There are several accommodation options at the summit, mainly concentrated in areas such as Guangming Peak Tianhai, West Sea Grand Canyon-Paiyun Pavilion, Bai'e Ridge, and North Sea. Guangming Peak Tianhai is a great spot for watching the sunrise, and it is also suitable for storing luggage while exploring the West Sea Grand Canyon. Bai'e Ridge is the upper station of the Huangshan Yungu Cableway on the rear mountain; if you typically enter the attraction from the rear mountain in the afternoon, staying here is quite convenient.

Qiankou Residence Museum

Qiankou Residence Museum

4.8/5

Qiankou Residence Museum is located 27 kilometers north of Tunxi District, Huangshan City. The ancient Hui-style buildings in the Souvenir villages were "originally demolished and rebuilt" and moved here, which concentrated on displaying the typical ancient folk houses, ancient ancestral halls, ancient archways, ancient pavilions, and ancient bridges of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. You can learn about various Hui-style buildings in a short time, so it is also called the "Qiankou Folk House Museum", which is indeed worthy of the name. Among the scenic spots Souvenir  Huangshan City, Qiankou Folk House is actually Complimentary, and the cost-effectiveness goes without saying. The hills in the Attraction are lush with vegetation, full of greenery in spring and summer, and can also present some colorful scenery in autumn. The scenery is also good. Qiankou Folk House is divided into two areas: Qingyuan in the south and Mingyuan in the north. First visit Qingyuan, where various ancient buildings from the Qing Dynasty are arranged along a circular tour path, including the ancient stage, Yiren Hall, Geng (Geng) Hall, Chengren Hall, Wang Shunchang's house, etc. Among them, the official mansion Geng Hall is the largest in Qingyuan. Although the architecture of Qingyuan is magnificent, with many exquisite wood carvings, brick carvings, and stone carvings, and elegant patterns painted under the eaves, it generally gives people a relatively new feeling and lacks ancient charm. Many film and television dramas have taken scenes here. From Qingyuan, you can cross a lake and arrive at Mingyuan, which is a collection of Ming Dynasty buildings. Mingyuan is the essence of the Attraction. You need to climb a small hill when visiting. Entering the mountain gate, which was originally the remnant of Liushun Hall, the public hall of the Wang family, and crossing the Yinxiu Bridge built by nuns, you can see the beautifully carved stone archway of the Fang Clan Ancestral Hall. The strange thing is that there is no inscription on the archway, but a grinning ghost is carved, stepping on a square bucket, forming the word "Kui", indicating that the person who built the archway wants the family to have more top scholars. Going up the steps, passing the Shanhua Pavilion donated by merchants, the first private house, Leshan Hall (Maodi Hall), comes into view. This was originally a place for entertainment and discussion for the Seniors over 80 years old in the clan. Leshan Hall is adjacent to the Caomen Hall of the Wang Clan Branch Temple in the north. If you continue walking, you will see the Sijian House, a family temple with a long history. Then, in front of a group of houses on the north side, you can vaguely see the construction method of the Yuan Dynasty in Wu Jianhua's house. The Fangguantian House where ordinary farmers live is relatively simple. The carvings of Fang Wentai's house are exquisite. There is also Su Xuehen's house for visiting. Standing on the mountain where Mingyuan is located, you can see the horse head walls and green trees of the ancient buildings blending with each other in the near distance. In the distance are today's villages and towns, but the houses have also formed the appearance of white walls and black tiles. If you are interested, you can go out of Qiankou's houses and go south along National Highway 205 for 1 kilometer. You can see a Ming Dynasty lower spire on the roadside. The tower is already covered with grass and trees, which is quite vicissitudes. If you want to find a place to eat or stay nearby, Qiankou Town has them. Tangmo, a Hui-style village in the east, is about 4 kilometers away from Qiankou's houses, and Chengkan, the "Bagua Village" in the north, is about 8 kilometers away. You can visit them together.

Hongcun Village

4.5/5

Hongcun Village is a classic Huizhou-style ancient village, renowned as a "village in a Chinese painting." A visit here offers two unmissable experiences: first, the water landscapes shaped by its irrigation system, with Nanhu Lake and Yuezhao Pond as the crown jewels; second, the exquisite "three carvings" of Huizhou architecture—brick, stone, and wood carvings—intricate enough to rival paper-cut art. Here, cultural heritage and natural beauty blend seamlessly into a harmonious whole. The ancient village was first built during the Shaoxing era of the Southern Song dynasty and gradually developed from the Yongle era of the Ming dynasty into a unique "ox-shaped village" layout. The two ancient trees at the village entrance form the "ox horns," the densely packed Ming and Qing Huizhou-style buildings in the village form the "ox body," the four bridges over the stream west of the village form the "ox feet," Yuezhao Pond is the "ox stomach," Nanhu Lake is the "ox belly," and the water channels flowing past every household are the "ox intestines." Sightseeing can begin at Nanhu Lake in the south of the village. Nanhu Lake is a bow-shaped artificial lake dug during the Wanli era of the Ming dynasty, with a broad expanse of water; the Huabridge crossing the lake is where Li Mubai led his horse in the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. On the north bank of the lake, Nanhu Academy was formed by merging six original private schools by the lakeside, and its layout is exceptionally spacious. Heading north along the lake's north bank, visitors can also stop by ancient residences such as Jingde Hall and Wang Daxie's Former Residence (Zhenqi Hall). Continuing north leads to Yuezhao Pond at the village center, a half-moon-shaped pond dug during the Yongle era of the Ming dynasty, surrounded by Huizhou-style buildings reflected in its waters—one of the best spots for photography in the ancient village. However, visitors crowd around Yuezhao Pond year-round, so patience is needed to capture an empty shot. At the center of Yuezhao Pond's north bank stands Lexu Hall, also known as the Wang Clan Ancestral Hall, a surviving Ming dynasty building in the village with a simpler style than Qing dynasty architecture. On the western end of Yuezhao Pond's north side is Jingxiu Hall, built during the Qing dynasty. Further north, visitors can tour Chengzhi Hall, the residence of late Qing salt merchant Wang Dinggui. The residence is fully equipped with a study, kitchen, stable, bodyguard room, and servants' quarters, and even includes a "Paishan Pavilion" for playing mahjong; the house has its own pond and well, so water is available without leaving the premises. The exquisite Huizhou three carvings are worth examining closely—some wood carvings are even coated with gold powder, lavish and magnificent. Other ancient buildings in the village worth seeing include Deyi Hall, Shuren Hall, and Taoyuan Residence.

Qiyun Mountain

Qiyun Mountain has been active since the Tang Dynasty, and some spectacular cliff carvings can be seen on the mountain. The Danxia landform has brought a rounded red mountain to Qiyun Mountain, which is in sharp contrast with the verdant vegetation on the mountain. Qiyun Mountain is 33 kilometers west of Huangshan City, with an altitude of 585 meters. The mountain is not high, but it is relatively large. It is divided into four areas: Yuehua Street Attraction, Loushanglou Attraction, Yunyan Lake Attraction, and Hengjiang Attraction. If you think it is "just a small mountain", you have only visited the Yuehua Street Attraction, which is the essence of the front mountain, and this is the content of a one-day tour; for a two-day tour, you can first visit the Yuehua Street Attraction, and on the second day you can go to the Loushanglou Attraction on the back mountain; as for the Yunyan Lake Attraction, it is too far away and generally no tourists go there. The hiking trail of Qiyun Mountain is at Dengfeng Bridge, 600 meters away from the lower station of the cable car. When taking a bus to Qiyun Mountain, you must tell the driver where you want to get off. It takes about an hour to walk up the mountain to reach the upper station of the cable car. It is recommended to take the cable car when going up the mountain, so that you can enjoy the rural scenery below the mountain. When you get out of the upper station of the cable car to Feiyun Pavilion, remember to look back at the mountain below. The best time to visit Qiyun Mountain is when the rape-flowers bloom in April. The golden flower fields and the Hui-style villages with white walls and black tiles are like a Chinese painting. The main attraction in the front mountain is the cliff carvings, with the Zhenxian Cave House being the most spectacular. There are caves all over the cliffs, with the four characters "天开神秀" written on the top. In the caves, there are various gods and immortals. From the top of the cliff, there is a pearl spring dripping into the clear pool below the cliff. Then walk to Yuehua Street. At the end of the street, through the doorway is a gourd-shaped stone archway "Xiao Hutian", and you will reach a cave. If you look carefully at the top of the cave, you will see footprints left by dinosaurs in ancient times. It takes about half an hour to climb from Yuehua Street to the peak of Qiyun Mountain. Most tourists return to Yuehua Street. If you want to go to the back mountain, you can stay in Yuehua Street for one night, otherwise you will not have enough time. Yuehua Street is a village on the mountainside with limited reception capacity. Although there are not many tourists staying in the mountain, it is better to make reservations in advance. There are also old houses in hotels with better conditions, such as the century-old Changsheng Building. The accommodation conditions are average, but you can see the sea of clouds in front of the building. Walking from the front mountain to Yuehua Street, there is Xianglu Peak on the right hand side. It is the representative of all the peaks of Qiyun Mountain because of its exquisite shape. There is a pavilion on the top of the peak. There is a road leading to the top of the peak from Zhenxian Cave Mansion, but the road is not easy to walk. It is recommended to put the luggage at the accommodation on Yuehua Street and then go back to the mountain climbing place. If you don't know where to climb, you can ask the hotel owner or villagers in detail. Don't climb on rainy days because the road is slippery. The next day, we went upstairs in the back mountain. There were no supply stations along the way, so we had to prepare enough water and dry food. After watching the sunrise on the peak in the morning, we returned to Yuehua Street and headed towards Yuxu Palace. There was a fork in the road leading to Fangla Village. If you have good stamina and can run fast, you can go and take a look. Otherwise, it is recommended to go straight upstairs. We walked in the mountains and could no longer see the scenery below the mountain. There were very few people along the way, and it felt like "the whole mountain is yours." On the way, you will pass the downhill road leading to the bamboo raft dock. If there is a mountain guard on duty at the pavilion at the intersection, you can leave your luggage there and pick it up when you come back from here. Going forward, you will encounter another fork in the road. The right side leads to the reservoir, and the left side with the covered bridge is the correct road. When you reach the upper floor, you can see the naturally formed upper and lower layers of caves. Backpackers will set up tents here. The terrain is flat and can shelter from wind and rain. Go down the mountain from the road leading to the bamboo raft pier, and take a bamboo raft to drift all the way to Dengfeng Bridge. Dengfeng Bridge is a stone bridge built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. On the other side is a Hui-style village. When the rape-flowers bloom, the scenery in this area is no less beautiful than those popular rape-flower viewing spots in Anhui and Wuyuan. When the golden sun sets and the night falls, the town of Qiyun is brightly lit and bustling. Qiyun iron flowers bloom in the sky, bringing romance; fish lanterns parade in the streets with the blessings of Huizhou for 600 years; standing on the Dengfeng Bridge, you can also see the 100-meter golden dragon winding forward with fireworks all over the sky. As a new landmark for Huangshan night tours, Qiyun Mountain Resort has created the [Baiyue Night Carefree] special night tour IP, introducing a number of intangible cultural heritage interpretations, and highly presenting the thousand-year folk romance through the inheritance and innovation of intangible cultural heritage skills, helping the development of Huangshan's night tour economy, promoting the continuous renewal of Huangshan's night tour forms, and bringing tourists a beautiful holiday life with fireworks and nights.

I think this is the most worthwhile attraction in Huizhou. It is a place where you can learn about Huizhou's history and culture. As a local, I think this is a must-see when you come to She County. However, the exit design is unreasonable, and tourists must walk a long staircase to exit. I think it needs to be improved.

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.

Shendu Town, located in the eastern part of She County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, is a town of significant historical significance and unique natural beauty. Historical Background: Shendu Town has a long history of development. It began to take shape during the Tang Dynasty. It further developed during the Song Dynasty, becoming a major commercial center in Huizhou. The relocation of the Yao clan from Huzhou Prefecture in 1159 further spurred its development. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shendu Town flourished as a vital waterway linking ancient Huizhou with Zhejiang and a distribution center for supplies. Geographical Environment: Shendu Town lies in the middle reaches of the Xin'an River, marking the starting point of the Xin'an River Landscape Gallery. The river meanders for hundreds of miles, flanked by verdant mountains and dotted with Huizhou-style villages. In spring, rapeseed blossoms blanket the trees, while in summer, loquats fill the branches. In autumn and winter, mist shrouds the area, creating a unique and diverse landscape. Convenient Transportation: Shendu Town boasts convenient transportation and boasts the largest land and water port in Huangshan City. Located 52 kilometers from Huangshan Airport and 20 kilometers from the Huihang Expressway entrance, Shendu Town is easily accessible. Tourism Status: Shendu Town is a key stop on the Huangshan-Qiandao Lake Golden Tourism Route, attracting a large number of tourists. The Xin'an River Landscape Gallery is its core scenic spot. Take a boat tour, and the lush mountains and waters on both sides of the river blend beautifully with the ancient Hui-style dwellings, creating a rural ink painting.

Qiankou residential buildings are built by relocating typical residential buildings nearby in a Lego-like manner. The disassembly and assembly process is now very mature. The free-to-the-door scenic spot is divided into two areas. There are not many businesses and tourists in the scenic area. Take a stroll and take a closer look at the brick carvings and stone carvings, you will find that they are quite charming.

A small mountain village in She County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, is a small mountain village with a dozen households on the hillside. It is inconspicuous but very pleasing to the eye. You can see the sea of ​​clouds most of the time every year, which is very comfortable.

Finally, I saw the Huizhou of textbooks, a place steeped in traditional Chinese ink painting. A light drizzle fell on the white walls and black tiles, dampening the flagstones, blurring the view of the South Lake Bridge, shrouding the distant mountains in mist, and veiling the nearby waters in smoke. All my restlessness was soothed by the misty rain of southern Anhui. The white walls were like Xuan paper, the black tiles like ink, and the staggered horse-head walls were the gentlest example of traditional Chinese negative space. The most beautiful Jiangnan region, it turns out, is not found in poems, but in the streams, the tiles, and the walls of Hongcun.

The all-inclusive ticket was definitely worth it! Qiyun Mountain's scenery lives up to its reputation. The mountain paths are easy to walk, there are numerous photo spots, and the scenery is beautiful all the way. I took the large loop route and visited all the attractions. The unique Danxia landforms are spectacular, and the photos turn out great on a sunny day. Cable car up the mountain → Wangxianlou (ticket check) → Shouzi Rock → First Gate → Zhenxian Cave (the essence of cliff carvings) → Second Gate → Third Gate → Yuehua Tianjie (cliff village) → Taisu Palace → Xiaohutian → Yuxu Palace → Ziyun Pass → Suspended Plank Road → Fangla Cave → Fangla Village → Danxia Corridor → Highest Peak → Back Mountain Trail → Cable car down from Wangxianlou. The whole hike took 4 hours. Xiaoyao Street at the foot of the mountain is also great for exploring. In the afternoon, many NPCs give out silver notes. You can play games with them to earn silver notes and then exchange them for small gifts—it's so much fun! A boat trip on the Hengjiang River offers stunning scenery, and you can even take photos of the entire bridge from the boat. The most popular attraction is the evening fireworks show and the iron-sparkling performance, arguably the most worthwhile show in southern Anhui! Highly recommended!
