I plan to travel to Huangshan and would like to consult

I went on a self-guided tour, but I searched for a hotel in Tangkou directly from the Internet without shopping around, so you may be able to find a cheaper one.

1. Because I saw someone on the Internet saying that Yunhailou is the first choice for backpackers, I just searched for it without spending any time searching for anything else. Yunhai Tower is located in Tangkou, the standard double room is 80, and the weekend is 98 (I was alone at the time, and the double room I wanted was also 80). Breakfast is 5 yuan, stir-fried vegetables are 10-30 yuan, and a bowl of noodles is 6 yuan.

2. If you want to visit Huangshan Mountain, it will take at least two days. So we have to spend one night on the mountain. There are many options for accommodation. First of all, don’t go on weekends, it’s too expensive (same room, Sunday 280, Friday and Saturday 460) accommodation, tent 120, multi-person student dormitory (quadruple room, no bathroom, bunk beds, 70 a bed, there are 8 -12-person room with bathroom and toilet, but I don’t know the price) The hotel’s standard room costs 5,600 (1000-1200 on weekends). Buns on the mountain cost 5 yuan each, cucumbers cost about 3-5 yuan each, and the buffet at the hotel costs 60 yuan for breakfast and 120 yuan for dinner. 30-10 for stir-fry. A bottle of purified water costs 10 yuan. I brought my own travel space cup to make tea and drink along the way (the hotel provides free hot water, and filling a cup early in the morning is enough for the whole day).

3. Around Huangshan, I only went to Hongcun (104, there may be discounts for students) and Tunxi Ancient Street. I originally planned to go to Xidi (104) and Tangyue Archway Group (100), but it rained and I couldn't go. Also nearby are Emerald Valley (75), Jiulong Waterfall (62), and Huangshan Hot Spring (238).

4. The local snacks in Huangshan have only been fried tofu, fried fried sesame cakes, and three-thread rice crackers. There is nothing special about them. Because I like dried bamboo shoots, I ate fried pork with dried bamboo shoots and noodles with dried bamboo shoots in the hotel every day, and I was very happy. I heard that there are also Huizhou rice dumplings, Huangshan Erdong, hairy shrimps, stinky mandarin fish, Wucheng dried tofu and so on. I only bought Huangshan chrysanthemums (not as delicious as tribute chrysanthemums) and Taiping Houkui tea (I gave them away, but I didn’t even drink a sip) at Tunxi Old Street. Huangshan Maofeng is quite famous, but I don’t like it too much. purchase. The Huangshan specialties I left for myself: I sent myself a postcard from the top of Huangshan Mountain, and bought a book written by local villagers in Hongcun about the wood carvings of Hongcun’s houses. A piece of bamboo engraved with the scenery of Hongcun. On the back, the boss engraved Huangshan Hongcun and the date of the day for me. I also bought a bamboo shoot-shaped miniature stone teapot on Tunxi Old Street (I have also seen this in Suzhou, and it is probably not a Huangshan specialty).

5. In Huangshan Scenic Area, there are 1 day for 1 day, 2 days for 2 days, and 3 days for 3 days. It depends on how many nights you want to stay in the mountain. My original plan was for 3 days, but because of the rain, I didn’t see anything on the first day. Then I covered the entire 3-day route in 2 days. Although I was a little tired, I saw everything I needed to see. Personally, I think 2 days is the most cost-effective. On the first day, go up to the mountain as soon as possible (go in as soon as the door opens and take the Yungu New Cableway (80). Anyway, there is no special scenery on this section of the road, so you won’t lose anything by taking the cableway. Go to the top of the mountain to see a variety of pine trees (Harp) along the way. pine, black tiger pine, Lianli pine, Tuanjie pine, etc.), Shixin Peak, Mengbishenghua, Monkey Viewing the Sea, you must arrive at the Xihai Grand Canyon before lunch and it will take more than 4 hours to complete. It can take 5 or 6 hours, so be sure to leave enough time. I remember it seems that you are not allowed to enter the valley at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I am afraid that you will not be able to come out when it gets dark. If you still have the energy in the evening, you can go and see it. To watch the sunrise, I had to get up early on the second day, then start descending from Aoyu Peak and pass Aoyu Cave (passing by Xianxiantian, I wanted to go there again, so I climbed up Aoyufeng from Xianxiantian, The second walk is Aoyu Cave. If you are not strong enough, you can give up on the Yixiantian, because there is Tiandu Peak to climb later), the Hundred Steps Ladder, the Lotus Pavilion, and the Yingke Pine (the way down the mountain is right next to the Yingke Pine, so you need to I had to squeeze through the crowd of people taking pictures to see the Penglai Islands, Tiandu Peak, Banshan Temple, and Ciguang Pavilion. My legs were even more tired on the way down the mountain. Fortunately, I borrowed hiking poles from the hotel.

6. When going to Huangshan, the first thing you need to do is check the weather. Don’t go on rainy days. The second thing is to avoid weekends (prices will kill you). It’s very cold in the morning and evening on the mountain. If you want to save money, bring some instant noodles and braised eggs. Sausages and other things, even if you stay in a tent on the mountain, there is free hot water supply.

7. Because I had identified Yunhai Tower and made a reservation by phone, the hotel didn’t bother me much when I made the reservation. What should I do after I get off the train? I took a 15-yuan minibus at the train station and got off at the hotel door. Then you can ask the front desk about how to get around, hotels on the mountain, and directions. I can also help you book accommodation on the mountain. I bought a map of Huangshan at the train station, but it turned out to be useless. There is a huge real-life sand table of Huangshan in the lobby of Yunhai Tower. Then the front desk gave me a map of the 3-day route (2 days with 2-day map). If you follow the map, you will definitely not get lost. Of course, there are many hotels in Tangkou, and there should be youth hostels, but I have never stayed there, so I have no say. In short, my experience is that you should have a rough plan of where you want to go. Have an idea of ??what you want to see and taste, and then find a hotel that specializes in self-guided tours. After booking a room, you can ask questions about how to get around, where to eat, what specialties to buy, and where to buy more cost-effectively. front desk.
