5-minute express ascent to the mountain. The top hotel choice: Huangshan Manxin Hotel

Huangshan South Gate Transfer Center Manxin Hotel: A serene retreat at the foot of the sea of clouds If you're planning to climb Huangshan, the Manxin Hotel at the South Gate is the perfect starting point. Just steps away from the transfer center, it offers exceptional convenience whether you're catching an early morning bus up the mountain or returning in the evening to rest. The hotel features minimalist yet elegant design, with spacious and bright rooms—especially recommended are the higher-floor rooms where you can open the window to see rolling mountain peaks. If you're lucky enough to encounter a sea of clouds, it feels like stepping into an ink-wash painting. The service is equally thoughtful, with the front desk enthusiastically offering hiking advice. Upon your return, a warm cup of tea and a friendly chat will ease your fatigue. The surrounding area offers convenient dining options, from local flavors to simple snacks, ensuring you're well-fueled before setting off again with lighter steps. Staying here brings the mountain within easy reach and your mind at ease.
