If Mount Huangshan had a spirit, it would surely be a renowned swordsman wandering the world.

Visiting Huangshan without hiking is a wasted trip! This 2-day trekking guide is a must-read, showing you how to see the most stunning views with minimal effort 👏 🚶‍♂️ Itinerary Day 1: 📍 South Gate of Mount Huangshan → Take the Yungu Temple Cable Car up → Shixin Peak (view peculiar pines) → Black Tiger Pine → Dream Brush Flower → Paiyun Pavilion → West Sea Grand Canyon (take the viral mini train back up) → Stay at Baiyun Hotel Day 2: 📍 Watch sunrise at Bright Summit → Aoyu Peak → One-Line Sky → Hundred-Step Ladder → Greeting Pine → Descend via Yuping Cable Car 🌟 Highlights: 1⃣️ The viral mini train in West Sea Grand Canyon is a must-ride! The front row offers breathtaking views, like gliding through a sea of clouds. 2⃣️ Baiyun Hotel at the summit has the best location—just 15 minutes to Bright Summit. 3⃣️ Ascend from the back mountain and descend from the front for an easier hike. The scenery along Yungu Temple Cable Car is far more impressive than Yuping Cable Car. 🍱 Mountain Dining: Baiyun Hotel buffet costs ¥128/person—bring some snacks. West Sea Hotel’s shredded pork with pickled veggie noodles (¥48) is hearty and filling. ⚠️ Practical Tips: ✅ Buy tickets and cable car passes in advance—scan QR codes on-site for hassle-free entry. ✅ Hiking poles are essential! Bamboo poles at the base (¥3 each) work just fine. ✅ Wear a down jacket for sunrise—even in summer, it’s around 10°C. ✅ Use a backpack and avoid carrying items in your hands.
