Huangshan travel guide & travel ideas

Mt. Huangshan(Yellow Mountain), a World Heritage Site of UNESCO, a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, and to travelers like you and me, it is where we see picture-like scenery and stay away from hustle-bustle of city. The mountain is famous for beautifully-shaped pine trees, fantastic sea of clouds, jagged peaks and stunning sunrise, but what make it so stand out is that its beauty is dynamic and always changing. Different season, different weather, different visibility, different angle, the mountain show you a different face, each of your step will open up a new view-well, perhaps this is why many travelers leave it with regret more or less, just impossible to admire all of them once in a Huangshan tour, bitter sweet!

I have to admit, the romantic charm of Mt. Huanghsan is far beyond my words, so bring your best camera and get ready to have your eyes cheered! Lastly, don't forget the comely ancient villages of Hongcun and Xidi Ancient Village nearby.

Tips

1. Transportations to Huangshan might be limited, but not that difficult as you imagine. There are flights from Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Xian, etc. From Shanghai it is only 1 hour flight. Also Hangzhou is only about 2.5 hours away from Huangshan by bus. So take this scenery city as a transfer point is a good idea.

2. If you are traveling to Mt. Huangshan with your lover, buy a lover lock and lock it on the the handrail or iron chains on the mountain then throw the key into the cliff. By doing this your love is believed to be able to last forever. Countless locks on the mountains show that the lock works very well, try it!
