Hurry and save this latest hiking note! 👇 【🚶♀️Route Guide】 Huangshan is divided into the Front Mountain (thrilling and exciting) and the Back Mountain (pleasant and beautiful). Here are three personally tested great routes for you: ⭐ One-Day Express Version Yungu Cableway → Shixin Peak → Beihai → Bright Summit Peak → Yuping Cableway Perfect for those short on time, yet still covering all the highlights! ⭐⭐ Two-Day In-Depth Tour Day 1: Yungu Cableway → Shixin Peak → Monkey Watching the Sea → West Sea Grand Canyon (stay overnight on the mountain) Day 2: Danxia Peak Sunrise → Flying-Over Rock → Bright Summit Peak → Welcoming Pine → Yuping Cableway This is the correct way to unlock Huangshan! ⭐⭐⭐ Hardcore Hiking Route Walk the entire Yungu Temple route (about 7-8 hours) Suitable for fitness champions, the scenery along the way is absolutely worth it! 【📸Must-Visit Spots】 📍Welcoming Pine 📍Right side of Yuping Building The iconic symbol of Huangshan! An 800-year-old internet-famous tree, posing elegantly as if welcoming your arrival~ 📍Bright Summit Peak 📍Huangshan’s second highest peak (1860m) The best place to watch sunrise, sunset, and the rolling sea of clouds!
