1️⃣ On the way to the Tiantai, you can witness the spectacle of rime ice hanging between the trees, resembling jade trees and silver flowers. The winter beauty of the sea of clouds and rime ice is stunning and dazzling

3️⃣ Wander through the ancient streets and alleys of Jiuhua Street, enjoy the fun of ice and snow, a bit commercialized, but this season you can experience the slow life of Jiuhua Mountain

7⃣️ Dining
Coming to Jiuhua Mountain, it would be a pity not to try the local specialty cuisine 😭
We recommend our own restaurant—Huahong Hui Cuisine 🙋♀️
No feast is complete without 'soup' 🏠
Mutton soup, three-fresh soup, delicious and stomach-warming 🍲
Authentic and very tender
Enjoy both soup and meat 🙋♀️
The soup base is very fresh, and there's plenty of ingredients inside 🍲
Drinking several bowls of this soup in winter, one feels completely healed 👭

❗❗️Two suggestions:
1️⃣ It's best to stay on the mountain of Jiuhua Mountain, as it's more convenient for traveling, praying, and hiking. When tired, you can quickly return to the hotel to rest, as it's quite cold
2️⃣ Non-slip shoes are very important, the temperature on the mountain is lower than at the foot of the mountain, so wear thick clothes, bring hats and gloves, and make sure to keep warm
From Nanjing on Saturday afternoon, I went to Chizhou to transfer to Jiuhua Mountain. (In fact, there are tickets for Jiuhua Mountain directly, and the time has not caught up. There are not many people going up the mountain on weekend mornings. The weather is very good. Avoid peak travel.
Jiuhua Mountain is the four holy places of Buddhism in China. It is worth worshiping by believers. These are long Buddhist cultures, simple people and pleasant scenery. Local Huangjing tea, Jiuhua cuisine is also recommended
Overall, it is good. I decided to go temporarily during the Spring Festival. The car has to be parked at the foot of the mountain. After the bus pulls up the mountain, I went to the main peak. After the cable car went there, I had to climb for a long time. I had to live on the mountain at night. Go to another peak the next day.
Really have a fate to go! I have been here for more than ten years. I knew Jiuhua Mountain very early, but I didn't want to go there once. A few days ago, I suddenly decided to go to Jiuhua Mountain on the 21st, so I booked a ticket! My room is booked on the mountain, there is no time to go shopping under the mountain, so I chose to eat under the mountain before going up the mountain. The first thing worth recommending is that the owner of the hotel has a special enthusiasm for service and the price is particularly reasonable. When I left, he reversed the car and carefully helped me direct! The homestay is also very good. Park the car at the visitor center, take the bus to Yingxian Bridge, and the boss drives to pick it up! The pleasure of taking the bus is the first time I have experienced it in 30 years. I must take it once...! The attraction is a fairyland on earth. I don’t express it clearly. I won’t say it. In short, it’s worth going.
Jiuhuashan tickets, cable car tickets, park shuttle tickets are not discounted online, the advantage is that electronic tickets are convenient for storage. For tourists who go back and forth on the high-speed rail, do not buy the shuttle bus in the park. The high-speed rail station is the visitor center. There is a package ticket, 50, including the shuttle bus fee for the high-speed rail back and forth in the park and the shuttle bus fee, which is more favorable. Generally speaking, you can definitely take the journey to Jiuhuashan. When you come back to the high-speed rail station, it depends on the time of the high-speed rail.
If you have time or go, it is recommended to prepare 2-3 hours, flowers that do not climb the mountain, 1.5 hours to walk back and forth on the plank road, half an hour to go back and forth on the cable car, and an hour to be reserved for the shuttle bus. The visibility is high on sunny days. At present, the rhododendron has just sprouted in Qingming because the mountains are cold. There are few people in this scenic spot, very leisurely, and the air is fresh
Jiuhua Mountain has a strong Buddhist culture. Even during the May Day holiday, visitors are softly spoken in the Buddhist hall. It is very quiet and easy to visit here. The scenic spot is very large, and you can visit about four scenic spots in a day. If you live outside the scenic spot, you want to go in and visit again the next day. You need to communicate with the staff when you leave the scenic spot. The scenic spot tickets are valid for three days.
If all the ropeways are up and down in Jiuhua Mountain, if you don't travel in detail, you can complete the 100-year-old Taisho Scenic Area, the rooftop Scenic Area and the Huatai Scenic Area in one day. The scenic spot tickets are valid for three days, and the three scenic spots have scenic shuttle buses. If you want to travel in depth, you can live on Jiuhua Mountain. Jiuhua Mountain is ink in the rain in southern Anhui, it is recommended to avoid the rainy season as much as possible, otherwise the weather is very sultry.
