In June, with abundant rainfall, Huangling is shrouded in mist, creating a fairyland-like experience. Visit the market, take a panoramic photo of the ancient village from the sun-drying terrace, admire the flowers surrounding Huaxi Water Street, and admire the flowing water and small bridges.
Check out the intangible cultural heritage skills, including the three types of Anhui carving, Jialu umbrellas, Anhui embroidery, sesame cake making, southern Anhui wooden oil pressing, and rice wine brewing. If you are lucky, you may even encounter dancing crane fairies and traditional Huizhou wedding performances.
