Day 1

Huangzhou — Su Shi's Riverbank

Su Shi lived out his Huangzhou exile from 1080 to 1084 and wrote both Red Cliff rhapsodies here; the riverside park admits for about 40 yuan. Yiai Lake takes its name from his essay, and both sit in the urban district.

Day 2

Tiantangzhai — Dabie Main Peak

About 120 km north of Huangzhou, a 2.5-hour drive; the summit reads 1,729.13 meters on the Luotian side. The cable car saves most of the climb — start early and sleep in the village below.
