Why go

Huangshan

Huangshan — the Yellow Mountains — are the peaks that Chinese landscape painters have been copying for a thousand years: granite spires, twisted pines growing out of rock, and a sea of cloud that fills the valleys at dawn.

The essential thing is to sleep on the mountain. Day-trippers climb up and down between cable cars and never see the moment the peaks emerge from the cloud; staying overnight means sunrise from a ridge with the mountains below you.

Don't miss

  • Sunrise from the summit, above the cloud sea
  • The cable cars up to the North Sea and Bright Summit Peak
  • The 'Greeting Pine' and the stone-carved steps above 1,800 m
  • Sunset from Bright Summit, the highest of the three main peaks
  • The UNESCO village of Hongcun, with its mirror ponds
  • The hot springs at the foot of the mountain

How long do you need?

Two days, with one night on the summit. Three if you want to add Hongcun and Xidi's villages at a slow pace.
