• Day 3: Sunset over Mount Huangshan

  Today, drive to Huangshan Scenic Area (about 1.5 hours) and ascend the mountain by cable to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and reach the White Goose Station. Step into the Beihai Scenic Area, a picturesque window to the grandeur of Mt. Huangshan. Noted for its abundant and eccentric peaks, one such example is a peak where a stone formation resembling a monkey sits in fascination over the sea of clouds.
