Mt. Huangshan Hiking 4 Days Tour
Huangshan, literally translated as Yellow Mountain, ranks among the Great Wall and the famous Terracotta Warriors as one of China’s most luring tourist attractions. Located in the eastern province of Anhui, it is convenient to take train or bus from urban centers like Hangzhou and Shanghai—a perfect getaway for visitors in search of fresh air and a chance to experience China’s natural beauty. As an international ecotourism point of interest, UNESCO listed the mountain as an official World Cultural Heritage Site in 1990. Known for its unique pines, geological formations, dream-like clouds and clear hot springs, Huangshan is known in China as "The Number One Mountain Under Heaven;" though, with close to eighty awe-inspiring peaks in excess of 1,000 meters tall, Huangshan is actually an entire range of mountains and valleys, sure to impress the dedicated outdoor tourist or those in search of China’s best mountain resorts. The jutting rocks, shimmering pools, gurgling water falls and the ephemeral clouds that make up the mountain’s dreamlike ambience are sure to invoke images of the most famous Chinese art.
Of Huangshan’s many peaks, the three most widely known are The Lotus Peak, The Brilliant Top Mountain, and The Celestial Capital, all of which rise a stunning 1,800 meters above sea-level. The granite mountains are dotted with massive natural stone colums, webbed with deep crevices, and feature the jutting peaks so often illustrated by Chinese artists. Sprouting forth from many rocks are the gnarled pines that are frequently the subjects for Chinese painters, of both bygone eras and contemporary times. These attributes, rather than diminishing in beauty, change along with the seasons. Spring is marked by blooming flowers that decorate the slopes in a riot of pastels, accompanied by a symphony of scents and wildlife followed by the verdant slopes of Summer; Autumn and Winter are no less lovely, dressing the mountains in blazing reds and purples as the maple leaves turn. A classic Winter scene on the mountain features frost, ice and silver branches—peaceful and inspiring.

Day 1 Hiking on HuangshanB, L, D)
Pick up from Tunxi and drive for one and a half hours to reach the Mercy Light Pavilion, the start point for hiking up from the western steps. It will take you about 4 hours to reach the Jade Screen Peak, just half way of the whole trip for today, where you will have lunch. After lunch we need to hike for another 3 and half hours before getting to our hotel. While hiking, you can enjoy dazzling beautiful views of the most famous mountain in China, including the Lotus Peak which is also the highest peak of Huangshan Mountain with an elevation of 1,864 meters, Old Monk in Meditation, Narrow Cliff, Turtle on the back of a Crocodile, Bright Top, Flying-over Rock, Nine Dragon Peak, Cloud-dispelling Pavilion. Stay in Xihai Hotel
Day 2 Hiking on Huangshan (B, L, D)
Watch the sunrise in the morning. After the breakfast you will start exploring the Grand Canyon, a newly developed scenic site with breath-taking views of steep mountain and deep valleys, really stunning indeed. Its beauty and precipitousness are simply beyond words! You'll need about 6 hours to do the whole loop. Stay in Xihai Hotel
Day 3 Hiking in Huangshan (B, L, D)
Today you will trek down from the Refreshing Terrace, a footpath in the mountain but rarely visited by tourists. You will take the same way back to our hotel. It takes about 5 hours to do the trekking. Tonight you will stay in Beihai Hotel.
Day 4 Huangshan - Tunxi (B, L, D)
Watch the sunrise in the morning. After breakfast you will hike down the mountain from the eastern steps which presents somewhat different, yet equally marvelous scenery in comparison with what on the western steps. It is almost all the way downhill and would take you about 2 hours to reach the foothill.
Drive for about one hour to reach Hongcun, an UNESCO cultural heritage site which has a history of 800 years, for a visit. Back to the downtown in the afternoon and visit the Old Street, a trading center in old days lined with ancient wooden buildings from the Song dynasty, many of which have been converted into antique shops selling furnitures, souvenirs and local products. Leave Huangshan City after dinner.
