Mount Huangshan in Anhui province makes all other mountains under heaven unnecessary

⛰️ The landscape of Mount Huangshan is characterized by its peculiar pines and grotesque rocks, and when the weather is good, one can enjoy the sea of clouds and sunrise. The overall climbing difficulty is moderately high, but there are many routes to choose from, suitable for both the elderly and children. The scenery of Mount Huangshan is beautiful throughout all four seasons, and it's always a good time to visit as long as you avoid thunderstorms and strong winds. 📍Celestial Capital Peak It is the third highest peak of Mount Huangshan, known as the 'Capital of Heaven'. The steps to the top have at least a seventy to eighty degree incline and are built as a single pathway up the mountain. (No worries about getting lost on Celestial Capital Peak, haha) 🏞Route to Celestial Capital Peak Starting from Yupinglou - Penglai Three Islands - Crossing the Immortal Bridge - Careful Slope - Old Path Entrance of Celestial Capital Peak (downhill for 15 minutes) - From the Old Path Entrance to the peak (all steep uphill, a total of 1584 steps, Carp Back is very dangerous, about 75 minutes needed) - Departing from the top of Celestial Capital Peak via the South Slope New Path - New Path Entrance of Celestial Capital Peak (downhill for 90 minutes, a total of 2175 steps) - Halfway Temple (downhill for 15 minutes) - Laima Bridge - Ciguang Pavilion Transfer Center (downhill for 60 minutes) 🚶🏻‍♂️This route is the north slope ascent, if you want to climb from the south slope, just reverse the order of the route. 👉If you only want to climb Celestial Capital Peak, a one-day trip is sufficient. If you also want to visit other attractions such as the West Sea Grand Canyon or others, it is recommended to plan for more than a two-day trip.
