Stunning view from Mount Huangshan

Huangshan (黄山) is easily accessible from Shanghai, less than 3 hours on high speed train then you are at Huangshan North station, which is the nearest town to explore the amazing mountain park. The UNESCO World Heritage site is well known for its peculiarly- shaped granite peaks, sunrise, pine trees and hot springs. The walk inside the park can be quite challenging if you are heading to the famous peak of 蓮花峰. But it’s rewarding after all those steep uphill stairs. The scenery is breathtaking! It will take 6-8 hours to cover a big loop include the peak so make sure you arrive the park as early as possible so as to avoid crowds and give enough time for the walk. You can also stay in one of the handful hotels inside the park for the sunrise and a more leisure pace to explore. #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #huangshan
