I felt I was in a Chinese Ancient Painting 🖼️🎨

If you ever dreamed of what it would feel to be in a Chinese ancient painting, then you must definitely visit Huangshan Mountain in Anhui! Huangshan Mountain or Yellow Mountain (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is one of the most iconic and important mountains in China. It's surprisingly similar to Zhangjiajie with countless jagged granite peaks adorned with ancient pine trees. When you first get a glimpse of the view, you're immediately left in awe by the endless sea of mountains covered by a mistic veil of clouds in the horizon 🙌☁️. Once at the top, there are many paths and trails you can walk in order to get to the different peaks and attractions in the area, such as Shixin Peak, Feilai Peak, White Goose Peak, Tianhai, etc. There are also hotels and even one or two restaurants. However, I would recommend taking your own lunch as the food prices can be high. Bear in mind that it's a very big scenic area and the cable car to get down closes at 5 pm. How to get there: From Huangshanbei train station, take a taxi or bus to the South Gate of the Scenic Area (40-50 km). There are no buses after 8 pm. You can choose to stay inside the scenic area or outside by the foot of the mountain. Note that prices are comparatively more expensive inside the scenic area and you have to check in earlier as they close the cablecar around 5 pm. The upside is that you can spend the whole day there and watch the sunset 🌄. There are various bus routes you can take if you enter from the South Gate: Yungu Temple, Ciguang... The buses will take you to a cablecar station inside the park. Note that there are many cablecar stations, but to get back 🔙 to the South Gate you will have to take the same cablecar up and down. 🚠Getting to the top by cable car is another experience by itself! The ride is very long and exciting. I've never taken a longer cable car before!
