Day 1 - Arrival in Huangshan
On arrival in Huangshan City, we are met by our local guide and driver. We transfer to the hotel, a short journey of around 15 minutes.
The remainder of the day is at leisure, allowing you to rest after your journey or explore the local area at your own pace.
Day 2 - Exploring Mt Huangshan and Historic Tunxi
After breakfast at the hotel, we travel to Mt Huangshan, a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site and World Geopark, renowned for its granite peaks, ancient pine trees and sea of clouds.
We explore the mountain on foot, covering approximately 6-7 km over 4-5 hours, including time for lunch. Our route takes us via the South Entrance and Yungu Cable Way to Beginning-to-Believe Peak, past the famous Black Tiger Pine, and on to Lion Peak. Here we visit highlights such as the Dawn Pavilion and the Stone Monkey Watching the Sea. We continue to the Dispelling Cloud Pavilion before returning via the same route and descending by cable car.
Lunch is served at a local restaurant.
In the afternoon, we return to downtown Huangshan and visit Tunxi Ancient Street. First developed during the Song Dynasty as a river port, it later became an important commercial centre and is now lined with traditional architecture and local speciality shops.
