Furong Valley
芙蓉谷
A pristine gorge at the northern foot of Huangshan, with jade-green pools, waterfalls, and boulders linked together. It is known as one of Huangshan's “most beautiful gorges.”
Furong Valley lies near Huangshan's north gate, in Gengcheng Town, Huangshan District, close to Furong Ridge. It is a gorge that was developed relatively late, with clear streams and sights such as Feicui Pool, Furong Waterfall, and Guanyin on a Lotus along the way. Stone steps follow the stream, and the round-trip hike takes about 3 hours, with far fewer people than at the south gate. In summer you can wade in the shallows to cool off, making it a good escape from the heat near Huangshan. Admission is sold separately. From Tangkou or Huangshan District, the drive takes about 30 to 40 minutes. Public transport is inconvenient, so self-driving or hiring a car is recommended.
