Promise me you'll visit Huizhou Tachuan in the autumn

Girls! If there is a pinnacle of autumn in China, it must be Tachuan in Huizhou! 🍂 White walls and black tiles reflect the red leaves, morning mist and cooking smoke surround the ancient village—this is the true earthly paradise! As a travel expert who visits Tachuan every year, today I'm sharing my ultimate guide—just save this one👇

📍 Location: Tachuan Village, Hongcun Town, Yi County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province
🎫 Ticket: 40 RMB/person (35 RMB if booked online in advance)
⏰ Best time: Late October to late November (perfect timing now!)
🚗 Transportation: Recommended to drive or charter a car; about 3 hours from Hefei; 1 hour taxi ride from Huangshan North High-Speed Railway Station

📸 Must-shoot spots
1️⃣【Village Entrance Red Maple Forest】
Classic check-in spot! The light through the maple leaves at dawn is stunning; light-colored clothes recommended 👒
2️⃣【Viewing Platform Overlook】
Capture the whole village and the colorful forest in one frame; drone shots are even more spectacular (⚠️ Note the park’s drone flying restrictions)
3️⃣【Ancient Residential Courtyard】
Firewood gate, persimmon tree, bamboo fence—full of cultural charm 🍅 (Villagers are very friendly, please ask politely before taking photos~)
