It was so relaxing especially during the weekdays with very few visitors. It was 2009 and very few people especially Americans knew about this quaint, ancient river town with is river and famous musician who entertained us everyday right from his place and made our stay even more enjoyable. The evenings were serene with the lights reflecting upon the river from the buildings. We stayed in this town longer than we had planned in the beginning. It was a favorite among the places we visited during our 37-day self-guided tour in China. I brought a best friend who equally enjoyed her stay.. We ate not only the camp food we brought along since we were on a train in between stops, but also ate at restaurants close by and prepared food offered along the river. it was easy walking around the city and along the river.. We didn’t take the Amal’s boat rides that were offers, although they would have been very relaxing as well.

We stopped for a night before going to the mountains. We had time for a good walk round and see the old town when we arrived and had a very nice meal at the entrance to Old Street. Taxi from the city to the mountain transfer station was 180Y.

My partner and I stayed in the Huangshan area for 5 days. In that time we hiked the mountains, visited one of the ancient towns, went to the hot springs, and spent an afternoon on ancient road (Tunxi). All of the experiences were different and very enjoyable. We had one day with nothing to do (could have gone to see a waterfall but weren't in the mood) but ended up finding a grassy area to throw a frisbee and have an impromptu picnic. I doubt I'll ever go back to Huangshan but really enjoyed my time there.

Huangshan is a place packed with great old street, rich culture and excellent scenery at the Huangshan mountain except it is very crowded.. This is my second time visit to Huangshan and hope to come back again.

Tunxi Old Town is interesting with a number of restaurant options. Our trip to Yellow Mountain was fantastic. We were a little disappointed with Xidi and Hongcun Villages as they have become very commercialised.
