Huangshan Travel Reviews

I have visited  Hongcun. I travelled one and half hour from Huangshan bus station to Hongcun ( 24 yuan ticket). It is enough one hour to make a tour, there is nothing to be seen.

In an effort to spice up what would otherwise have been a largely forgettable New Year, I came up with a last minute plan to spend three days at Yellow Mountain [huángshān|黄山]. I have divided my journey into three, as follows:

Going to Huangshan reminds me of the hit Beatles' song "The Long and Winding Road". What is so breath-taking about the experience are the out-of-this -world scenes!
