Day-by-day Itinerary

Collapse All
  1. The tour guide will pick you up at the hotel lobby in the city center at the agreed time. Drive about 1 hour to Mount Huangshan Scenic Area.Ā Known as the "fairyland on earth" and "the most wonderful mountain in the world", Yellow MountainĀ is famous for its "five wonders" of strange pines, grotesque rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs and winter snow.

    After arriving at the scenic area, transfer to shuttle bus and head to Yungu Station. You can choose to take the cable car up the mountain at your own expense (not mandatory, but highly recommended to save energy).Ā After getting off the cable car, your Mount Huangshan hike starts. Pass through the White Goose Ridge along the way, admiring Beginning to Believe Peak & Black Tiger Pine, and appreciating various shapes of pine trees and stones.

    Black Tiger Pine is one of the top ten famous pines in Huangshan Mountain, with a height of 15 meters and a tree age of about 700 years. It is named after the legend of a monk witnessing a ā€œblack tigerā€Ā lying on top of a pine tree - its branches are thick and sturdy, its crown is dark green and almost black, and its shape resembles that of a black tiger.
