After arriving at the top, first go to Bailing, then to **Beginning-to-Believe Peak** to see the unique pine trees, such as Black Tiger Pine and Lianli Pine. They are the "stars" of Huangshan!

After seeing these, you can have a good night's sleep in the hotel on the top of the mountain! I recommend staying at **Shilin Hotel**. It not only has a good location, but also allows you to continue to feel the beauty of Huangshan in your dreams. 🛏️ ### 🌟 Day 2: In-depth tour of Huangshan Scenic Area - **Early morning**: 🌅 The early bird catches the worm, and the early tourist sees the sunrise! In the early morning, hurry to **Guangmingding** or **Danxia Peak**, which are excellent places to watch the sunrise. When the first ray of sunlight penetrates the sea of clouds and illuminates the entire Huangshan, the shock can only be experienced by those who have seen it with their own eyes! 🌅 - **Morning**: 🌅 After sunrise, head to **Yuping Scenic Area** to meet Huangshan's "spokesperson" - **Welcoming Pine**.

Walking in the canyon, every step is a beautiful picture. 🏞️ - **Afternoon**: 🚶‍♂️ After returning from Xihai Grand Canyon, don't forget to check in at **Flying-Over Rock**. This boulder seems to have fallen from the sky and landed firmly on the top of the mountain, making people marvel at the magic of nature.
