Several misunderstandings and explanations about visiting the Huangshan area:

1 .Most tourists on the back mountain and front mountain think that they are on the back mountain and the front mountain.

a. Because there was no cable car in Huangshan before (the cable car was built on the back mountain in 1986 and the front mountain in 1996) and the accommodation on the mountain is basically The top is in Beihai, and Beihai is the first stop of the back mountain. So if you want to stay on the mountain, you can go down from the back mountain to the front mountain

b. Huangshan proverb "The front mountain is majestic and the back mountain is beautiful", which means that the back mountain is the most beautiful place in the mountain. Be more relaxed. This sentence refers to the style of the front mountain and the back mountain, not the way up the mountain.

Be more relaxed. Now there are hotels and cable cars in Qianshan and Tianhai (center of Huangshan Mountain). Qianshan If you don't take the cable car to the back mountain, you will have to walk 7.5 kilometers (Yungu Temple-Baieling, Ciguang Pavilion-Yuping Tower). The roads on the front mountain and the back mountain are almost as steep. So there is no difference between the front mountain and the back mountain.

Recommendation: If it is not the off-season, if you want to take the cable car up the mountain in the morning, it is recommended to go up the front mountain, because the cable car on the front mountain has a large transportation capacity and there is almost no queue, while on the back mountain sometimes you have to queue for several hours.

Note: Therefore, tourists who join a tour group must ask clearly whether the cable car route arranged by the tour group is the front mountain or the back mountain. Tour groups in the urban area are available on the front mountain and back mountain, and almost all tour groups in Tangkou It is on the Back Mountain. Individual tourists who join tour groups usually go on the Back Mountain.

2. Watch the sunrise and sunset

Traditionally, it is believed that you can watch the sunrise in Beihai, because Huangshan has not been developed before, and there are almost no accommodations. It is in Beihai, so there is a saying: watch the sunrise in the North Sea, and watch the sunset in the West Sea. Now there are many places to watch the sunrise.

Sunrise--Beihai is at Lion Peak, and West Sea is at Danxia Peak. , Guangmingding, the sky and the sea are at Guangmingding and Aoyu Peak, and Yuping Tower is at Lotus Peak.

Sunset - the West Sea is at Danxia Peak and Taiping Cable Car Station, Guangmingding, the sky and the sea are at Guangmingding and Aoyufeng. , Yuping Tower is at Lianhua Peak.

Note: You can only see the sunrise in Beihai. In winter, you have to go to Shixin Peak to see the sunrise, and to see the sunset in the West Sea

The Danxia Peak in the West Sea is closed It’s a mountain. To see the sunrise, you have to go to Beihai or Guangmingding.

To see the sunrise at Yuping Tower, you can see it at the foot of the peak. In winter, you can see it from the door. But to see the sunset, you have to go to the top of the peak.

3. Accommodation places on the mountain

All hotels on the mountain belong to Huangshan Tourism Development Co., Ltd. The standard rooms on the mountain are almost two-star, three-star, and four-star. The location of accommodation depends on the arrangement of the tourist route.< /p>

4. Accommodation at the foot of the mountain is in Tangkou and the urban area

It is 70 kilometers from the urban area (Tunxi) to Tangkou and takes one hour by car.

Tunxi is The city hall, airport, train station, and bus station of Huangshan City are all in Tunxi, and transportation to surrounding scenic spots such as Shexian County, Hongcun Xidi, and Huashan Mystery Cave is convenient.

You can watch the night market, visit the old streets and eat Anhui cuisine

Tangkou is a small town at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. There are buses to Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou, but there are not many buses. There is only one star-rated hotel. Most of them are A private hotel for families.

Suggestion: If you want to go to Xidi Hongcun when you come down from the mountain, you can stay in Tangkou. This way you don’t have to go back to the city and then go to Xidi Hongcun and go back. For other itineraries, stay in the city. They are both more convenient and less monotonous than Tangkou.

Note: If you arrive in Huangshan City in the afternoon or evening, you don’t have to rush to Tangkou to stay. You can visit the old streets and stay in the city. The accommodation in the city is better than Tangkou is good.

5. Surrounding attractions and arrangements

a. Ancient villages--There are many ancient villages in Huangshan. Their cultural heritage is the same, and they were developed earlier. It is Xidi. Later, especially now, many ancient villages have been developed one after another. Personally, I think the most beautiful one should be Hongcun.

If you are short on time, just go to Hongcun. If you are relatively wealthy, You can go to Xidi, Hongcun, and then go to the archway group in She County.

The itinerary of the ancient village---usually one day, you can also start from the city in the morning, play in the morning, and go up the mountain to the scenic spot in the afternoon , time is available but a bit tight

b. Emerald Valley, Jiulong Waterfall, Shimen Gorge, Phoenix Source---Emerald Valley was developed the earliest, and later nearby villages were developed one after another. The representative is Emerald Valley (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Tiger) The filming location of Dragon). It is worth going to Jiulong Waterfall if it rains. There is usually little water and it is difficult to see the style. It is enough to go to one scenic spot

The itinerary for the scenic spots at the bottom of the mountain---usually it does not take a day, and you can go up the mountain. You can definitely have time to play in the morning and go up the mountain in the afternoon. Or you can go there after going down the mountain without spending another day.

c. Qiandao Lake - Qiandao Lake is a scenic spot in Zhejiang Province and is generally visited four times The itinerary for each island is as follows: in the morning, the tour bus takes an hour and a half to Shen Shen Pier, then takes a cruise ship to Qiandao Lake for three and a half hours. An island generally takes 20-25 minutes, then takes a cruise ship back to Shen Shen Pier for three and a half hours, and then takes a tour bus. If you want to go back to the city, you can take the bus directly to Hangzhou in Qiandaohu Town. You can arrive in Hangzhou at 5-6pm.

Also: you can also spend one day visiting Hongcun and Emerald Valley.

Depart from the city in the morning, visit Hongcun in the morning, visit Feicui Valley in the afternoon and stay in Tangkou

Go down the mountain and stay in Tangkou, visit Feicui Valley the next day, and then go to Hongcun in the afternoon Return to the city or stay in Hongcun

6. Return method

a. Nanjing - Trains return to Nanjing from Huangshan City in the morning and evening. You can also take a bus back from Tangkou in the afternoon. .

b. Shanghai - There are trains and buses in Huangshan City in the morning, buses in the city in the afternoon. There are trains back to Shanghai in the evening.

7. The Four Wonders of Huangshan

The Four Wonders of Huangshan refer to: strange pines, strange rocks, sea of ??clouds, and hot springs.

Strange pines ---It is said that there are ten famous pines in Huangshan, but you can see them almost no matter what the weather. The only fake one is the Mengbishenghua next to the Beihai Hotel.

Strange rocks --- heavy fog If it rains, many things cannot be seen, but the largest strange rock in Huangshan, "Feilai Stone", can still be seen because you can still touch it.

Sea of ??Clouds---The sea of ??clouds in Huangshan Mountain is among the four most beautiful places in the world. It is the most famous place, so Huangshan is known as the "Yellow Sea". But it depends on luck. Generally, there are more chances of sunny days after rain or snow. Note that many tour guides will describe the fog as a sea of ??clouds in order not to spoil the interest of tourists.

Hot springs---The hot springs in Huangshan have now been contracted to individuals for operation, and the prices are outrageous. Especially the swimming pool, the water is not very clean. The four unique hot springs seem to be patchwork. What is the fifth unique thing in Huangshan now-- Winter snow, the sixth wonder - Baoguang (see the Guangmingding advertisement). Emerald Valley also says that it is the fifth wonder of Huangshan -
