Huangshan Travel Guide

How to experience the sunrise over Huangshan? • Itinerary: Upon arrival at Huangshan, start by savoring local delicacies at the foot of the mountain. Then, hike up to explore hidden photography spots. After descending, immerse yourself in intangible cultural heritage activities, and finally, choose some souvenirs. 😎 • Hidden photography spots: Head to the rear side of the Monkey Watching the Sea platform, go around the guardrail to a small path about 10 meters away, and capture panoramic views of the cliffs with a telephoto lens. An hour after the rain, rush to the west side canyon of Paiyun Pavilion for a chance to encounter the mystical "Buddha's Light". 📸 • Unique experiences: After descending the mountain, don't miss the Huizhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Hall. Create your own Hui ink cakes and woodblock prints. It's super fun for families or couples. 🥰 • Culinary exploration: Find Shendu hairy tofu at roadside stalls outside the scenic area. No. 3 Shendu Old Street is worth a try. In summer, visit a hidden shop in Tangkou Town for a refreshing combination of iced Huizhou Lingshan fermented glutinous rice with arrowroot balls. 🍜 • Souvenir selection: Be cautious when buying tea in the scenic area. Visit a physical "Xieyu Da" store to sample before purchasing for guaranteed quality. 🛍️ • Travel preparations: Register your drone in advance and consult the designated areas for aerial photography within the scenic area. Bring your own toothbrush and slippers when checking in to the mountaintop hotel for an eco-friendly stay and receive cultural and creative souvenirs. For trips between March and April, pack breathable quick-drying clothes, a down liner, a windbreaker, and trekking poles (wooden sticks are available for CNY 5 at the foot of the mountain). 🧳 • Bonus tip: If it rains continuously for 2 hours, head to the cable car station to get a free raincoat (limited quantity available). 🌧️
