Anhui Tourism Routes

Huangshan · Hongcun · Xidi · Jiuhua Mountain

The core of Anhui is Huangshan: 1 day for the mountain, 2 days for Hongcun and Xidi villages, 2 days for Jiuhua Mountain; 4–6 days is most suitable.

Provincial Routes and Cities

Huangshan is the standard image of “Chinese mountains” in the minds of Chinese people: strange pines, unusual rocks, seas of clouds, and hot springs. The villages of Hongcun and Xidi at the foot of the mountain have perfectly preserved Hui-style architecture and water systems. Further north, Mount Jiuhua is the place of practice for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. This site arranges Anhui into 4 days for Huangshan and Hongcun, and 6 days if adding Mount Jiuhua.

How to arrange a route in Anhui

We divide Anhui into three ready-made routes, covering short, medium, and long durations. Routes within the same province can be freely combined: if time is tight, take the shortest route; to explore more deeply, combine two routes.
