10-day Huanggang itinerary at a glance
Use our full Huanggang travel guide as the base and adapt it to 10 days. Keep the city's three signature attractions as the backbone; fill the rest with neighborhood walks, food markets, and an easy day trip.
Huangzhou — Su Shi's Riverbank
Su Shi wrote both Red Cliff rhapsodies here in his 1080-1084 exile; the riverside park is about 40 yuan. An evening loop of Yiai Lake runs roughly 5 km — ten days need no rush.

Tiantangzhai — Dabie Main Peak
About 120 km and 2.5 hours from Huangzhou; the Luotian-side summit reads 1,729.13 meters. Cable car up, ridge boardwalks, and a night in the valley at Jiuzihe.

Jiuzihe Farmland Day
The small town at the Tiantangzhai gate sits among terraced fields and chestnut groves; a slow market-morning and river-bank walk before moving on.

Bodaofeng & Yingshan Hot Springs
The knife-edge ridge nears 1,408 meters an hour away. Descend toward Yingshan county town and take the evening soak in its long-known springs.

Taohuachong Valleys
A forest park in the southern Dabie folds, about 40 km from the Yingshan county seat; stream paths and a slow picnic before the drive back east.

Guifeng Mountain Azaleas
Macheng's tortoise-backed mountain keeps around 100,000 mu of old azalea scrub; the main summit stands at 1,320 meters. Mid-April to early May is the bloom.

Hong'an Memorial Park
The park records the November 13, 1927 Huangma Uprising and the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area — a factual visit of about two hours, photo ID in the halls.

Wuhan — Neighboring City Day
An honest side trip out of the prefecture — Wuhan lies some 80 km west, about 1.5 hours by road. The tower by the river and the provincial museum fill a city day.

Qizhou — Li Shizhen
Down in Qichun's river town of Qizhou, the memorial honors Li Shizhen (1518-1593), who spent 27 years compiling the Bencao Gangmu; walk the old wharf lanes after.
- huanggang lishizhen memorial
Wuzu Temple & Departure
The Tang-dynasty mountain monastery in Huangmei county, founded in the Xianheng era around 672, is the fifth patriarch Hongren's seat — visit as a religious site, quietly. Leave from Huangmei East on the 2022 HSR line.
