This summer, explore Hunan, Anhui, and Jiangxi with us! From the fiery vibe of Changsha to the poetic charm of Huizhou, then to the water town scenery of Wuzhen, and finally immerse yourself in the autumn drying beauty of Wuyuan, this route blending cities, mountains, rivers, and ancient towns is simply perfect!
🔥 Changsha Three-Day Walking Tour
7.16 Cultural Immersion Day
Hunan Provincial Museum (No. 50 Dongfeng Road, Kaifu District) must be booked in advance! After visiting, you can walk to the nearby Du Fu Jiang Pavilion to watch the sunset; the night view is stunning.
7.17 Popular Check-in Day
Yuelu Mountain (recommend taking the cable car up and slide down) → Orange Isle (recommend taking the small train) → Evening at Wuyi Square (Tea Yan Yue Se is a must-try)
7.18 Transfer to Huangshan City
After checking in at Baijing Hotel, we recommend visiting Xixinan Ancient Village, a hidden gem that’s free and beautiful. In the evening, stroll through Tunxi Old Street and enjoy authentic Huizhou cuisine.
🌲 Huangshan In-Depth Tour
7.19 One-Day Huangshan Hike
Recommend ascending from the back mountain and descending from the front mountain. Must-see spots include the Welcoming Pine and Bright Summit. Remember to bring hiking poles and rain gear!
7.20 Picturesque Villages
In the morning, visit the archways in Xidi; in the afternoon, sketch in Hongcun. Be sure to stay overnight in the scenic area to enjoy the night view. We recommend trying the specialty dish "People in the Painting."
💦 Slow Life in the Water Town
7.21-22 Two Days in Wuzhen
The night view of West Scenic Zone is breathtaking; a gondola ride is a must. The East Scenic Zone is more original and natural, and the Wooden Heart Art Museum is a must-visit for art lovers.
🌾 Wuyuan Autumn Drying
7.23-24 Stay in the Terraced Fields
Huangling Autumn Drying has already started! We suggest staying in a beautiful guesthouse inside the scenic area. Watching the misty terraced fields in the early morning is incredibly dreamy.
【Practical Tips】
1. July is rainy in Huangshan; be sure to bring rain gear and non-slip shoes.
2. It’s more cost-effective to buy a combined ticket for both East and West Scenic Zones in Wuzhen.
3. The best times to photograph Huangling Autumn Drying are early morning and evening.
4. Changsha attractions are accessible by subway; in Huizhou, it’s recommended to hire a car for touring.
