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 ⛰️.
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.
