So stunning! No wonder even Li Bai praised Huangshan as "a world apart from the human realm"

📍Address: Tangkou Town, Huangshan District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province 🌟Best season: Autumn (September to November) with pleasant weather 🎫Tickets: Peak season (March to November): 190 CNY; Off-season (December to February): 150 CNY 🚠Cable cars: Yuping Cableway 90 CNY (steep front mountain); Yungu Cableway 80 CNY (gentle back mountain) 🏠Accommodation recommendation: Hotels on the mountain top (such as Guangmingding Mountain Villa) are convenient for watching the sunrise but require advance booking and are relatively expensive. Homestays in Tangkou Town at the foot of the mountain offer great value. 🚘Transportation guide 🚄High-speed rail: Huangshan North Station, 1-hour direct shuttle bus to the scenic area (Huangshan Airport is about 50 km from the scenic area) ✈️Airplane: Tunxi Airport, 40 minutes by taxi (carpooling recommended) 🚗Self-driving: Navigate directly to Huangshan Scenic Area Transfer Center, where there is a parking lot. 🔥Main attractions 1️⃣Welcoming Pine The Welcoming Pine stands beside Qingshi Rock in front of Yuping Peak and above Wenshu Cave in Huangshan Scenic Area, Huangshan City. It is praised as the "Welcoming Pine" because it grows along the must-pass path for visitors ascending the front mountain of Huangshan. 2️⃣Guangmingding Peak Guangmingding Peak is one of the main peaks of Huangshan. Located in the central part of Huangshan, it is the second highest peak at 1860 meters, alongside Tiandu Peak and Lotus Peak, known as the three main peaks of Huangshan. Due to its flat terrain, it is one of the best spots in Huangshan to watch the sunrise, sunset, and sea of clouds. 3️⃣West Sea Grand Canyon Famous for its unique beauty and mysterious charm, it is an unmissable breathtaking scenic spot in Huangshan. The popular small train ride is a must! It is recommended to grab a seat in the lower carriage for a better view. 📌Tip: Those with good stamina are advised to hike at the valley bottom and then take the one-way small train back up. 4️⃣Flying-over Rock Located on a flat rock at Pingtianjing in Huangshan Scenic Area, it is naturally weathered. The contact surface between the two large rocks is very small, making it look like it flew from the sky, hence the name "Flying-over Rock." It was a filming location for the 1987 version of Dream of the Red Chamber! 5️⃣Lotus Peak Lotus Peak is the highest peak within Huangshan Scenic Area, ranking first among the 36 major peaks, with an elevation of 1864.8 meters. 👉Sunrise viewing spots: Guangmingding Peak, Danxia Peak, Monkey Watching the Sea, Aoyu Peak, Shixin Peak, Paiyun Pavilion, etc. 👉Sunset viewing spots: Guangmingding Peak, Danxia Peak, Monkey Watching the Sea, Aoyu Peak, Flying-over Rock, Qunfengding Peak, etc. ❤️Tips: 1. Mountain weather is changeable; bring non-slip shoes, rain gear, and warm clothing. 2. Welcoming Pine is very popular; visiting early morning or late evening offers better photo opportunities. 3. It gets quite cold at night in Huangshan; remember to bring extra warm clothes. 4. No need to carry too much water when hiking❗❗Travel light! #NatureSceneryShare #Huangshan #HuangshanTravel #HuangshanDayTrip #Hiking #WeekendGetaway

⛰️Huangshan – Crowded, Yes. Worth It? Absolutely. I visited Huangshan during a Chinese holiday — yes, it was crowded, and yes, I queued for hours. But none of that mattered once I reached the peaks. There’s something surreal about standing above the clouds, watching the mist drift slowly around the jagged mountain tops. It felt like walking through a painting — pine trees clinging to cliffs, stone steps winding through the fog, and waves of clouds floating just below your feet. Despite the crowds, Huangshan was breathtaking. Tiring, yes — but magical. And honestly? I’d do it all over again. 🌫️🌄
