Day 1

Arrival, Likeng & Moon Bay

HSR puts Wuyuan about 30 minutes from Huangshan North, 2 hours from Hangzhou, around 3 hours from Shanghai. Likeng, 12 km from the county town, is best before 10:00; Moon Bay on the way back is a free stop.

Day 2

Jiangling Terraces & Xiaoqi

Jiangling lies 55 km northeast, about 1.5 hours by car; the 210-yuan through ticket covers 12 county sites and stays valid 5 days. Rapeseed blooms mid-March to early April. Xiaoqi, 20 minutes back down the same road, keeps a thousand-year camphor tree.

Day 3

Wangkou & Jiangwan

Both sit on the eastern road — Wangkou's Yu Family Ancestral Hall 25 km out, then Jiangwan, the county's 5A-rated town, 30 km out, rebuilt around the Xiaojiang Ancestral Hall and a老 commercial street. Half a day each is plenty.

Day 4

Huangling Whole Day

Huangling, 13 km out, sells a ticket-and-cableway combo at about 135 yuan. Give the village half a day — hilltop lanes, terraced fields below, and the shaiqiu displays that peak September to November but run all year.

Day 5

Rainbow Bridge & Wolong Valley

Rainbow Bridge in Qinghua town, 20 km west, is a nearly 900-year-old covered bridge from the Southern Song; Wolong Valley is about 15 km further north — boardwalks along pools and rapids, 2-3 hours on foot. Stay the night in Qinghua to shorten tomorrow.

Day 6

Sixi-Yancun & Lingyan Cave

Morning at the merchant mansions of Sixi and Yancun, 13 km from town; then drive northwest about 50 km to Lingyan Cave park, where karst halls hold ancient cliff inscriptions. Base yourself near Shicheng or Dayushan side for an early start.

Day 7

Shicheng Dawn & Departure

Shicheng, about 50 km northwest, is the county's photography legend — November mist over persimmon trees and red maples, photographers in place by 6:30. Outside late autumn it is simply a quiet stone village. Drive back about 1.5 hours for an afternoon train.
