7⃣️ Dining
Coming to Jiuhua Mountain, it would be a pity not to try the local specialty cuisine 😭
We recommend our own restaurant—Huahong Hui Cuisine 🙋♀️
No feast is complete without 'soup' 🏠
Mutton soup, three-fresh soup, delicious and stomach-warming 🍲
Authentic and very tender
Enjoy both soup and meat 🙋♀️
The soup base is very fresh, and there's plenty of ingredients inside 🍲
Drinking several bowls of this soup in winter, one feels completely healed 👭

❗❗️Two suggestions:
1️⃣ It's best to stay on the mountain of Jiuhua Mountain, as it's more convenient for traveling, praying, and hiking. When tired, you can quickly return to the hotel to rest, as it's quite cold
2️⃣ Non-slip shoes are very important, the temperature on the mountain is lower than at the foot of the mountain, so wear thick clothes, bring hats and gloves, and make sure to keep warm
I have been to Jiuhua Mountain several times in my dream, but I have not arrived for various reasons. Today, I finally realized with my children. I purify my heart and feel very relaxed. Although I am very tired and hard, I have a special peace of mind! Do the cable car to the Baisui Palace, after going up, it will be sunny, turn a corner is cloudy, so beautiful
Very exciting, the route is relatively long, it is worth going again, the scenery on the way is very beautiful, the mountains are towering, the rocks are steep, and you can see the trails and wildlife of Ziah noodles. It is much more comfortable than hiking.
All the incense is full of wishes. I wish: May Guotai Jun'an wind and rain smooth, family peace and health Jiuhua Street hot room, the homestay is quiet and comfortable, the local fried is delicious, and the specialties are very delicious! Will come again if you have a chance
Really have a fate to go! I have been here for more than ten years. I knew Jiuhua Mountain very early, but I didn't want to go there once. A few days ago, I suddenly decided to go to Jiuhua Mountain on the 21st, so I booked a ticket! My room is booked on the mountain, there is no time to go shopping under the mountain, so I chose to eat under the mountain before going up the mountain. The first thing worth recommending is that the owner of the hotel has a special enthusiasm for service and the price is particularly reasonable. When I left, he reversed the car and carefully helped me direct! The homestay is also very good. Park the car at the visitor center, take the bus to Yingxian Bridge, and the boss drives to pick it up! The pleasure of taking the bus is the first time I have experienced it in 30 years. I must take it once...! The attraction is a fairyland on earth. I don’t express it clearly. I won’t say it. In short, it’s worth going.
Jiuhua Mountain has a strong Buddhist culture. Even during the May Day holiday, visitors are softly spoken in the Buddhist hall. It is very quiet and easy to visit here. The scenic spot is very large, and you can visit about four scenic spots in a day. If you live outside the scenic spot, you want to go in and visit again the next day. You need to communicate with the staff when you leave the scenic spot. The scenic spot tickets are valid for three days.
The soundproofing effect of this hotel is very good, the room is very quiet, let me get a full rest. The service attitude of the hotel staff is very good, warm and thoughtful, and I feel very welcome. The location of the hotel is also very good, the transportation is convenient, and there are many attractions and restaurants nearby. All in all, I love this hotel very much and highly recommend!
If all the ropeways are up and down in Jiuhua Mountain, if you don't travel in detail, you can complete the 100-year-old Taisho Scenic Area, the rooftop Scenic Area and the Huatai Scenic Area in one day. The scenic spot tickets are valid for three days, and the three scenic spots have scenic shuttle buses. If you want to travel in depth, you can live on Jiuhua Mountain. Jiuhua Mountain is ink in the rain in southern Anhui, it is recommended to avoid the rainy season as much as possible, otherwise the weather is very sultry.
Jiuhua Mountain is divided into Qianshan and Houshan. This is a big ticket for Qianshan Scenic Area. If you want to travel in depth, it is recommended to live on the mountain. Otherwise, although it is a three-day ticket, it is extremely inconvenient. The scenic tourist bus stop is on Jiuhua Street, and Jiuhua Street has complete food and accommodation services. Jiuhua Mountain is very beautiful on a sunny day, and the rainy day is the scenery of southern Anhui.
