🚗 [Transportation and Accommodation Without Getting Lost]
🚄 Transportation: Take the high-speed train to "Huangshan North Station". To go to Huangshan Scenic Area, you can take the scenic area bus 🚌; to go to Hongcun and Emerald Valley, it is recommended to take a taxi or share a ride 🚗, which is super convenient at an average of 30+ yuan per person!
🏨 Accommodation: If you want to get up early to watch the sunrise, stay in a homestay on the mountain (remember to book in advance!) ⛺; if you have a limited budget, choose a hotel in Tangkou Town at the foot of the mountain 🏨, which is super cost-effective~ You can stay in a characteristic inn in Hongcun, and when you open the window, you will see a small bridge and flowing water 🌊!
