Travel Notes|Fourth Stop—Huangshan (2 days)

The ancient city of Huizhou is the least worth visiting scenic spot, because the 98 yuan ticket does not even allow you to enter the Fuya Scenic Area, so I just looked at a lonely small village with incomplete ancient buildings and antique buildings. Fortunately, that day was Sunday, and there was a performance at the Federation of Literary and Art Circles Gala. The ancient city of Huizhou is mainly about Huizhou architectural buildings, which are quite unique, but the nearby ancient villages such as Hongcun, Chengkan and Tangmo all have Huizhou buildings, which are special. However, there is one thing about the ancient city of Huizhou that impressed me deeply. When I went out to the scenic spot at night, I went to the city tower and found out that a family lived in the city tower. Although I had many questions in my mind, I didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

Tunxi Old Street Scenic Area is an ancient street that is completely free and open, but the things inside are not expensive. The freshly baked walnut cakes are delicious, but they are not so fragrant after they are cooled, because I brought a box with me to Huangshan. eat. However, a box costs nine for ten yuan, which is quite appropriate. There is also Huangshan Shaobing, which I love very much. I recommend the original flavor and chive flavor, which are more fragrant. My cats and dogs love to eat them.

For food, I highly recommend Huangshan Rice Noodles. It is a rice noodle shop that I accidentally ate at. I forgot the name of the shop. The rice noodles are the kind I have never tasted before. They are thin, flat, soft and fragrant. They are very special and the taste is amazing. Miss you.

Secondly, the high-scoring shops in Yunxi Old Street are not worth visiting. The dishes are all local specialties, the price is moderate, and the taste is moderate. To be honest, I was not full that day, but I couldn't eat it. Considering that I would climb Huangshan Mountain in the afternoon I managed to finish half a bowl of rice. The people who come to eat in the store are tourists from far away. The boss and the store clerk are really enthusiastic. When I asked for directions to Huangshan, the store clerk was worried that I would not be safe alone and repeatedly told me the closer route. Therefore, I suggest that friends who travel, it is best not to look at the ratings when eating. The places where tourists eat are disliked by the locals.

I set off for Huangshan at 12:20 in the afternoon. I waited for about half an hour at Tunxi Passenger Terminal before the bus departed. For the bus to Huangshan Scenic Area, you need to buy tickets on the bus, but there are no tickets sold at the window. Originally, I could get to the south gate of Huangshan Scenic Area in an hour, but I didn't remind the driver, so I took the bus for half an hour longer. The conductor blamed me for not telling her, but I told her twice. After getting off the bus, follow the signs and walk in for ten minutes to reach the ticket gate of the scenic spot. Once inside, you can choose to walk up the mountain or take a bus up the mountain, to Ciguang Pavilion and Yungu Temple respectively. The fare is 17 yuan per person. After getting off the bus, you can take the cableway up the mountain. Ciguangge cableway is 90 yuan/person and Yungu Temple cableway is 80 yuan/person. The entrance fee to the Huangshan Scenic Area is 192 yuan per person. There are more than 30 scenic spots in total. If you don’t take the cableway up the mountain, the mountain road behind it will be too much for normal people. I took the uphill ropeway of Yungu Temple around four o'clock in the afternoon, and went to Shixin Peak first. When I arrived at the top of Shixin Peak, there was heavy fog, and the peaks on the opposite side were looming like a fairyland. After watching Shixin Peak, I rushed to the next attraction - Monkey Viewing the Sea. Monkey watching the sea actually means standing on the top of the mountain and seeing a stone statue that looks like a monkey watching the sea of ​​clouds on the opposite mountain. The scenery is so beautiful. It feels like you can see the entire Huangshan Mountains at a glance. At the top of the mountain, I saw the legendary travel live broadcast for the first time. I admire this anchor uncle very much. I met him on the live broadcast when I went up the mountain. At 8:30 in the evening, when I passed by Baiyun Hotel, I met him again and he was still live broadcast. Listening to his communication with fans, it seemed that he had started at noon. It was broadcast live on the mountain. I just lament that life is not easy and all depends on hard work! It was already five o'clock after visiting Monkey Viewing Sea. I wanted to go to the West Sea Grand Canyon to see the sunset, so I had to speed up, so I had to leave behind a couple of travel companions I had just made. I couldn't wait for them all the time, and time didn't allow it. ah. The mountain road to the Xihai Grand Canyon is steep, full of caves and strange rocks and forests one after another. It’s really scary to walk on the road alone. The climbing dog is a shadow of my psychology. I’m really afraid that if it breaks out, a monkey will kill me. It would be terrible if I fell into the valley in fear, and all I would be left with was bones and dregs. However, after climbing up the mountain for so long, I didn't see a single monkey. Instead, I saw a lot of squirrels. Maybe it was because the scenery was getting darker. I walked until 6:30 and didn't see the sunset. Seeing that it was getting dark, I started to panic, so I kept walking forward to look for the ropeway, or asked the staff for directions back to the hotel. After all, it was the same way I came. It’s too long and far, and I really don’t have the confidence to go any further. I walked for more than 20 minutes and reached the bottom of the valley. I saw that the operating hours of the ropeway had passed, so I decided to give it a try and went to find the staff. I heard someone talking and chatting, so I looked over. Maybe God saw that I was lonely and miserable climbing the mountain alone, so I caught up with the staff's car returning from work. Of course, I had to pay the normal fee. I can't thank you enough for sending me back. The sightseeing tram to the Xihai Grand Canyon is 100 yuan per person, and it takes ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain. You can go to Baiyun Hotel, Baie Villa and other places for accommodation and meals. It was already after nine o'clock when I arrived at the 701 guest house next to Baie Mountain Villa. I had an unexpected surprise. The girl from the couple's travel companions lived in the same room with me, so I was not alone. Each room in the guest house has four bunk beds. There are thermos bottles, washbasins and footbaths. For me, having a footbath and soaking my feet in hot water is a rare treat. I walked on the mountain road for an afternoon. , my feet must be exhausted. Although I didn’t feel it at night, I felt it the next morning. The conditions of the guest house are not as bad as the online reviews, or maybe it is because I am traveling in the off-season, there are relatively few tourists, and the sanitary conditions are much better. After all, the price next door is one thousand, but here it is only one hundred. The price has increased ten times.

In order to watch the sunrise in the morning, I got up before five o'clock. Of course, this was the time after I slept. There are many scenic spots to watch the sunrise in Huangshan. Guangmingding is the choice of most people, but you can indeed see a very beautiful sunrise. It was also the right choice for me to watch the sunrise from Danxia Peak, where only a few people go, but unfortunately I didn’t climb to the top and missed the best viewing point. But I saw the sunrise. It was really beautiful. I have a video to prove it.

At half past seven, the sunrise view ended. The first scenic spot I went down the mountain to was the Hundred-Step Ladder. Looking at the display on the tourist map, the Hundred-step Ladder should be a very thrilling attraction, but it is also true. As I hurried on, trying to reach the foot of the mountain at nine o'clock, I looked at the scenery in front of me, imagining that the Hundred-step Ladder should be a project similar to the hand-sliding ropeway. Passing by the Dianzan Stone and the First Line of Sky Scenic Spots, I arrived at the Hundred-step Ladder. The difficulty was beyond my imagination. The steep stone steps on the cliff were even steeper than what I experienced in the West Sea Grand Canyon yesterday. Fortunately, I was fast on my feet and overtook everyone in front of me, and finally reached the top with a few older brothers who came for team building. The Baibu Ladder is located at Lianhua Peak, Lianrui Peak, with an altitude of 1864.8 meters. I climbed to the top and took photos as a souvenir. When I climbed to the top of the peak, I met several people walking down from the top. I was extremely surprised. Are they spending the night on the top of the mountain? But on a good day, it is such a wonderful thing to watch the July stars on the top of Huangshan Mountain. I envy them very much and admire them even more. But currently Huangshan does not allow tents.

It is true that going down a mountain is more difficult than going up. People’s knees are easily injured when going down a mountain, and it is easy for the body to fall forward, not to mention that there is a cliff next to it. Of course, a child like me who lives in the mountains often climbs mountains, so I naturally have some experience going down mountains. When going down the mountain, lean your body slightly and try to walk sideways with both feet. You can alternate walking left and right to prevent one foot from being tired and unable to support it.

After getting off Lianhua Peak, we went to see the famous Welcoming Pine. Why not do it along the way? It is said that the existing welcoming pine is no longer the welcoming pine in the primary school textbook. The current welcoming pine is the child of the previous welcoming pine. They are indeed the same family, I can’t tell them apart at all! After seeing the Welcome Pine, I went to Ciguang Pavilion and took the ropeway down the mountain. When I got down the mountain, I wanted to see the Herringbone Waterfall, but the water had dried up and there was only one Herringbone left. The price of taking the bus down the mountain is the same as the price up the mountain. Going down the mountain is faster and you can get there in fifteen minutes.

Since I had to go back to the hotel on Tunxi Old Street to pick up my luggage, I had to take the minibus back. After exiting the scenic area, I just waited on the roadside on the right. There are many such buses, and they are basically half Every hour. The fare back was a little more expensive, so I didn’t care if it cost me twenty.
