Mt. Huangshan
Today you will spend a day and a night on the Yellow Mountains. It takes about one hour from central Huangshan City to reach the foot of the Yellow Mountains. Your appreciation of the graceful Yellow Mountains begins with the Yungu cable car (a round-trip cable car is included). Don't miss the magnificent scenery along your 10-minute journey. Your guide, who spends over 200 days on the mountains every year, will customize the route for you. For an energetic hiker in good shape: Descend the cable car, walk for about 30 minutes via mostly down stairs to arrive at the hotel, and see Umbrella Pine and Black Tiger Pine along the way. After buffet lunch at the hotel, explore the West Sea Grand Canyon. The whole hiking trip lasts for over three hours, covering the 1st ring, 2nd ring, and bottom of the canyon. If time and strength permit, you can further explore the Flying-over Rock and watch the sunset at Bright Top. It takes about 40 minutes to get from Bright Top back to the hotel. For beginners, children, and senior citizens: Get off the cable car, walk for about 30 minutes to the hotel, and see Black Tiger Pine and Dream Flower Pine on the way. After buffet lunch at the hotel, walk to West Sea Grand Canyon. You can decide how long you would like to walk for: reaching the 1st ring and returning takes about two hours; reaching the 2nd ring and returning takes about 2½ hours. Then enjoy the sunset at Cloud-dispelling Pavilion. It takes about 30 minutes to get back to the hotel.

Surreal experience on this tour! Our tour guide, Suki, was professional, mindful, and spoke good English. Throughout the 3-day tour, Suki was passionate to share her immense knowledge about the area. She led our visit to Tunxi Village, Hongcun Village, and the Yellow Mountain very well. My family and I felt very comfortable with the pace of the tour, and we really liked how Suki frequently checked in on us to make any necessary changes to our schedule and itinerary in oder to suit our preferences. We made a special request to visit Hu Kaiwen Ink Factory, where we learned how traditional Chinese ink sticks are made. This was done before our drive to the Yellow Mountain cable car station. The hike around the Yellow Mountain was engaging. The paths are paved and consist mostly of steps, but there are lots of places to rest and enjoy the view, so it is challenging but comfortable even for people with less hiking experience. We were fortunate to have good weather on the 1st day of the climb to enjoy the beautiful scenery and take fantastic photos, but it rained the next morning and we missed the sunrise. The hotel we stayed at overnight was big and very clean, and the room was equipped with a heated drying rack for our wet clothes. Suki made arrangements to drop us at Xidi Ancient Village where we will stay a night. It was a trip to remember and thanks Suki for making the difference.
