Huangshan Mountain Trip｜The most powerful mountain climbing guide in the universe‼ ️

As the saying goes, “After returning from the Five Mountains, you won’t look at other mountains; after returning from Huangshan, you won’t look at the Five Mountains.” Huangshan truly lives up to this praise—it’s breathtaking. Among the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, Huangshan and Huashan hold a special place in my heart ⛰️.

🗺️ One-Day Tour Suggestions (8-10 hours)

Peak season draws huge crowds, so you’ll likely need to choose between exploring the West Sea Grand Canyon or Tiandu Peak. Try to reach the New National Highway before 7 AM to catch the bus into the mountains 🚌—this saves time and avoids long queues.

⚠️ A classic route—choose this if you want to visit Tiandu Peak. Note that there are many uphill sections, so it’s more physically demanding.

⚠️ A popular route—opt for this to explore the West Sea Grand Canyon. It features more downhill sections, making it slightly easier.

✅ Key Tips

🔹 On the Mountain:

• Tiandu Peak: Expected to open around May 1st, with a daily limit of 3,000 visitors. You’ll likely need to book at 21:00 two days before your trip (the reservation system is currently in internal testing, so stay updated).
• Weather backup: If the weather is poor, prioritize the West Sea Grand Canyon. Tiandu Peak often closes in fog, but the West Sea Grand Canyon takes on a magical, ethereal beauty in mist.
• West Sea Train: Sit in the first row to fully enjoy the Grand Canyon’s stunning views—it’s worth it!
• Weather mindset: Huangshan’s weather is unpredictable (sun, fog, rain can all happen in a day). Stay flexible—every weather condition offers a unique charm!

🔸 Down the Mountain:

• Transport: Take the mountain bus from the New National Highway or South Gate.
