Travel Notes | Strange Mountains and Ink Paintings

There are only a handful of holidays in the second half of the year, and for a playful person like me, I cannot miss any of them, so I met up with friends during the Mid-Autumn Festival to go to Huangshan, which I have longed for. Below are some simple play strategies, for reference only, welcome to add.

Travel equipment: Raincoat, power bank, food and water (you really need to prepare enough water, it is too expensive on the mountain), hat (personal habit, small bugs in the mountains are afraid of dirty hair┐(´∇｀)┌ ), change (accommodation may require a deposit, and some tickets require cash), comfortable clothes (the short-sleeved + jacket we wore when we went, spring and autumn, it is not cold when climbing, if you want to watch the sunrise You need to wear more clothes). Other items are flashlights, hiking poles, etc. Bring them according to your personal needs.

Ink landscape painting——Hongcun

We set off from Nanjing Station and took the train at around 1 a.m. and slept on the way. We arrived at Huangshan Station at around 7 a.m. and had breakfast when we left the station. Breakfast basically consisted of steamed buns, wontons, and noodles. There were also a lot of raincoats and raincoats sold outside the station. There are also kiosks for gloves and trekking poles, which are not expensive. There is a bus directly to Huangshan Scenic Area next to it, but we went to Hongcun first and took a taxi to the tourist distribution center. It is not too far, about 20 minutes and about ten yuan. I read in the guide before that there is a bus that goes directly to the distribution center. I Neither was found...

I bought a ticket for Hongcun (I passed through Xidi on the way to Hongcun, it feels similar to Hongcun) at the distribution center. The ticket price is 20 yuan. The bus leaves every hour on the hour and takes about an hour and a half. You need to pay before getting on the bus. It rains and it becomes sunny after getting off the bus.

 

Tickets for Hongcun and Huangshan are all booked in advance. Tickets for Hongcun are 94 yuan each. You need to exchange your tickets first. You can exchange your tickets at the ticket center on the left side of the gate and the window on the right after entering. On the right side of the gate is toilets, toilets Next to it is the ticket office for buses to the train station, Huangshan Scenic Area and other places. We walked around Hongcun for about two or three hours (if you stay there at night, it’s a different story. It is said that the night view It is also very beautiful), it is recommended to buy tickets in advance (key point: only cash can be used here), because if there are many people on holidays, the tickets will be sold out quickly.

Attached below is a departure timetable from the ticket office of Hongcun Bus Terminal:

After buying everything, go into the village! Rush the duck! !

Hongcun is the most representative of the many unique Hui-style residential villages in southern Anhui. It is an ancient cow-shaped village and is known as the "village in Chinese paintings". After entering, walk to the left. Along the way, you can see students from different studios painting, which together with the scenery opposite form a new picture.

By the way, the students’ drawings are really good~ I’m also good at taking pictures~

Across the lake is Nanhu Academy, an ancient academy with traditional Huizhou style. (The hall on the left is for tourists to rest)

 

Shuizhen, with its nine twists and turns, is the "cow intestine", the "Moon Marsh" excavated near the spring is the "cow stomach" road, "Nanhu" is the "cow tripe", and the two ancient trees in the village are the "cow horns". Going further inside, you will see a moon-like pond - Moon Marsh, also known as "cow tripe".

 

It really turns out to be an ink painting just by taking a photo.

There is a Wang ancestral hall next to Yuennum, because this is where the Wang surname lives.

 

(￣▽￣)／

This ancestral hall may be the most attractive place for me. After all, I just watched the online drama "Sand Sea" and I am very addicted to the "Wang family" (although there is no relationship between the two).

Exquisite wood carving

We walked around, took pictures, and listened to the tour guide’s explanations. We could have a meal and rest inside at noon. We took a bus to the Huangshan Scenic Area at around 1 p.m. at the gate (that is, where we got off the bus). It's an hour's drive.

"The most amazing mountain in the world" - Huangshan

The bus drives to Huangshan Distribution Center (Tangkou Town). There are buses there that can go directly to the high-speed rail station, but you must remember to buy tickets in advance, and then buy the mountain tickets at the window (knock on the blackboard: cash is also required here). A one-way ticket is 19 yuan plus 3 yuan for insurance (sometimes insurance is not charged, and it is the same when going down the mountain), totaling 22 yuan. This bus passes through South Gate (when we went, South Gate could only take the Yuping Cableway), hot springs, and Yungu Cableway (the latter Mountain) and Yuping Cableway (Qianshan). The hotel was booked in advance online (you need to book a room and buy round-trip tickets at least one month in advance when going on vacation). We stayed at Huangshan Purple Stone Villa, which is more than 300 meters away from the South Gate. The standard room we stayed in cost around 120 yuan per person. There is a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and lunch. They are plentiful and not expensive. Breakfast is available at 6 o'clock for 10 yuan, including two eggs, a steamed bun, a bowl of porridge, and a plate of pickles. I must praise their glass here. , it’s really the same as nothing, so clean~

 

I originally wanted to watch the sunrise and sunset, but it was cloudy those days, so I went back to the hotel early to sleep. It was my first time there, so I didn’t choose a good hotel location. If I go for a day and it’s on the mountain, this hotel is very good. , Nandaemun tickets are sold at 6:30, but we chose the back mountain (it is said that the back mountain is more beautiful than the front mountain, and it is true), so we returned to the distribution center below to take the bus in the morning, which wasted a lot of time. In fact, if we went there in one day If so, it would be very convenient to book a hotel at the distribution center.

This is a road leading to Huangshan, which is very suitable for taking pictures~ (Be sure to pay attention to safety, there will be cars passing by)

 

We went out at 6:30 in the morning, because we were going to the back mountain, so we wasted some time. When we arrived at the Yungu Cableway, there were already many people queuing up to take the cableway. There is a ticket office for scenic spots (230 yuan a piece) and purchase tickets next to the cableway. For cableway tickets (80 yuan one way, 90 yuan for Yuping cableway), you can enter the scenic spot tickets you bought online by using the QR code or ID card before getting on the cableway. There is a road next to the Yungu cableway that is a hiking route up the mountain. , because the scenery at Yungu Cableway was average, and there were better views up there, we chose to take the cableway. We waited in line for about an hour and a half, and after sitting for about ten minutes, we arrived at Baieling Station. After that, you will have to rely on yourself to climb the mountain.

 

ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ~

 

We passed Harp Pine, Mushroom Pavilion, to Shixin Peak, and then to Lion Peak. The scenery along the way was very beautiful. We could see various pine trees and monkeys watching the sea. We took pictures and walked around without feeling tired. It was like It's like being in a fairyland.

 

There is a post office in the mountain where you can send postcards. We ate what we brought at noon. We were originally planning to take a small train to the Xihai Grand Canyon, but it happened to be repaired in those days and we didn’t take the train. Xihai Grand Canyon also very beautiful.

 

Post some beautiful photos of Qianshan

After resting for a while, we set off to Guangmingding (not the one in " Heaven Slaying the Dragon "). It is the second highest peak in Huangshan Mountain, with an altitude of 1860 meters. The highest peak in Huangshan Mountain is Lotus Peak, with an altitude of 1860 meters. 1864 meters, it and Tiandu Peak are open in turn. This year is the last year that Tiandu Peak will be open. From next year it will be Lotus Peak. The road to Guangmingding was very boring, and we couldn't see the sea of ​​clouds next to it. We walked and rested along the way. It was already around 2 pm when we arrived at Guangmingding.

 

Because there are some hotels on the mountain, you can always see thin porters carrying heavy items to the mountain along the way, so I feel that there is a reason why hotels in the mountain are expensive.

Those small houses in the middle are hotels↑↑

Due to time constraints, we did not go to Tiandu Peak. We went down the mountain from Guangmingding. We walked up the front mountain, where we could see the tortoise and the hare and other strange rocks along the way. We took the Yuping Cableway. The front mountain was relatively steep, so we were in time when we went down. For those who go up the mountain, the road is also very narrow. On the road, you can see the QR code for buying ropeway tickets online, so you don't have to queue up to buy tickets. The picture below is the scenery of Qianshan↓↓

 

After going down the mountain, there was a bus that went directly to the distribution center. It was already past 4 pm when we came down. In order to catch the bus, 50 people shared a taxi. Fortunately, we met a great driver and we arrived at Huangshan in less than half an hour. North station!

After climbing Mount Huangshan, my peak reached 1860 meters. After a few months of eating and drinking, I will try to set a new height next year. Let’s hit the duck! !
