Huangshan Ancient Town Three 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 Arrival Huangshan
Today you will arrive at Huangshan city, because of the different arriving times of tourists. We can’t arrange you to scenic spots. So we will directly send you to your hotel, after that you can walk around. Hoping you a sweet dream!
Day 2:Tunxi - Hongcun - Xidi (B, L, D)
After breakfast, we'll be driving for about one hour to reach Yixi County where Hongcun and Xidi are located. With a history of 800 years, the two villages were listed into the world heritage by UNESCO in 2000. We'll explore the typical architectural style of the local residential houses, ncluding the beautiful wood carving, stone carving, brick carving and bamboo carving which are almost everywhere. What is more, we'll visit as many local houses as possible, getting a feeling of their interior rooms as well as their daily life. Stay in Huqinglou Guesthouse for this night.
Day 3: Hongcun - Shexian (B, L, D)
Shexian County is one of the historic counties in China by the Central Government due to its brilliant cultural achievements as early as in the ancient times. Just take one example, there were more than one thousand stone or wooden arches in Huizhou in history. Even now, there are still about 110 arches scattered across Huangshan territory. Monumental archway was built in the feudal society for the purpose of honoring meritorious service, imperial civil examination, benevolent administration as well as loyalty and filial piety.
Today, we'll be heading for Tangyue after breakfast, a village famous for its archway complex in which 7 arches are still erecting in the order of righteousness, filial piety, chastity and loyalty. In addition, we'll visit the unique family ancestral temple for women in the past despite the overwhelmingly feudalism dominance throughout China's long history in which women were regarded inferior to men. Therefore, one can hardly find any temples for women across this country. Not far from the archways is the Bao's Family Garden, the largest private garden in East China. Thousands of bonsai are on display. For those fond of miniature landscape, this place is a must. We'll then visit an old village - Tangmo where we can see local farmers' daily life and their killing time along the "Water Street".
Back to the downtown in the afternoon to visit the lovely Old Street. After dinner, you'll leave Huangshan.
