Things to do in Guangze

It's great, but you need to allow enough time for the bullet train. The best arrangement is to plan all activities in the morning, take the cable car up the mountain, then the bullet train, followed by the high-speed rail, have lunch in Dajue Town, and go rafting in the afternoon. One day is just right. The local bread is really delicious; I thought I bought too much when I bought it, but then I realized I bought too little! 😀

Walking into Yunling Mountain facing the rising sun, the fresh air, such a special "medium", not only creates the beautiful natural scenery of mountains and rivers, but also connects the various flowers and fruits growing in the scenery into a beautiful landscape, beautifying the hearts of tourists.

It's definitely worth visiting, but there were so many people today. We waited an hour for the cliffside bullet train, and the whole journey was by train. It's especially friendly to the elderly; the queue railings are long benches where you can sit and wait, which is very considerate. I hope they promote it more so more people know about this wonderful place, Dajue Mountain, where there are many fun activities. I definitely want to go again next time.

Excellent value for money! Only have to pay for the buses and bamboo raft. We spent 2 days and covered most the park. Lovely!

Gexian Village truly feels like a fairyland! Surrounded by green mountains, with elegant ancient buildings, the village is breathtakingly beautiful at night when the lanterns are lit. Every step reveals a picturesque scene, creating a wonderful atmosphere for photos. The overall experience is fantastic and definitely worth a special trip.

Starting from the north side of the West Sea Grand Canyon, descend to the valley floor, passing through the first and second loops to reach Paiyunxi. The scenery along the way is breathtaking. Walking downhill is less strenuous, and my knees didn't feel uncomfortable. At Paiyunxi station, take the cable car to Tianhai. You can have lunch and rest near the Baiyun Hotel before continuing your Huangshan tour towards Guangmingding or Yupinglou.

Five stars! The night view of Wangxian Valley truly lives up to its reputation; the cliffside pavilions are dazzlingly lit, resembling a fairyland. I recommend entering in the afternoon. Enjoy the canyon and streams during the day, and then experience the daytime and nighttime views at dusk when the lights come on – perfect for taking stunning photos. The park has excellent facilities, and online ticketing and ID card entry are very convenient. Definitely worth a special trip!

Before coming, I did a lot of research, and everyone said that you'd regret not going, and you'd regret going anyway. After much deliberation, I still came. My mother really liked it; she thought it was beautiful even though it's a man-made scenic area and took many photos. The area was very lively; even in the afternoon, there were still many people, and there were queues at the photo spots. I joined in the fun so I could take some pictures for my mom. Overall, the experience was just average because there were too many unfavorable factors: it was a cloudy day with no sun, the lighting was dim at night, and the ground was slippery in the afternoon… and it's essentially still a commercialized ancient town (village) with local characteristics. Luckily, my mother liked it, so it wasn't a wasted trip. However, the view of the terraced fields from the viewing platform was excellent; I felt like I'd seen such a view in my dreams. Finally, I want to praise the friendly and enthusiastic service from the shopkeepers within the scenic area. Overall, it was an expensive but worthwhile trip.

The stairs are particularly difficult to climb—narrow, steep, crowded, and stuffy—without air conditioning, though there is one fan. However, it's not entirely unworthy of going up; it's worth it, but not essential. If you want to enter the scenic area and go up the stairs, around 5 PM is recommended. From there, you can truly witness the sunset and wild geese flying together, the autumn water merging seamlessly with the sky. After descending, you can enjoy the night view.
