As one of the representatives of Huizhou architecture, Huangling features hundreds of years of Hui-style patterns in residential buildings, official residences, ancestral halls, and archways, showcasing Eastern aesthetics and historical charm.

What impressed Rachel even more than the ingenious intangible cultural heritage here is the breathtaking scenery exclusive to Huangling!

In April, Huangling transforms into a “flower town” with various herbaceous flowers such as tulips, pansies, snapdragons, and wisteria blooming in every corner of the town, creating a picturesque fairyland.

Huangling is covered with various plants and flowers, exuding the delicacy and vitality of spring everywhere. Every step is dazzling, and every breath is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
