Bright Summit

Huangshan travel guide, pitfall avoidance manual, I have organized everything . No mountain can compare to the beauty of Huangshan The reputation of 'the world's number one peculiar mountain' echoes overseas. On this trip, I captured Huangshan in the snow , at sunset , and the Chinese ink painting style 'marvelous brushwork brings forth flowers', a truly fulfilling experience. After climbing the mountain, I also strolled around two ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River—Hongcun and Xidi. Three days and two nights , transportation to three places is very convenient. Visiting Huangshan, you can also tour these places to avoid any regrets. I have compiled a very detailed travel guide for your reference: Transportation High-speed train special line bus, turn right out of the high-speed train station to the tourism center hall window to buy tickets, about 20 yuan per person, 40—50 minutes per trip. Bus from Huangshan Passenger Transport Station to Huangshan South Gate, 30 yuan per person, departs when full, about 1 hour to reach. Self-driving, navigate to the parking lot of Huangshan Scenic Area South Gate. Ticket and cable car times South Gate ticket 190 yuan per person Cable car up the mountain 80-90 yuan per person Time: Upward 06:10-17:10, Downward 07:00-19:00 Suggested mountain climbing routes First day: Back mountain up: Yungu Temple - White Goose Ridge - Shixin Peak - West Sea Grand Canyon - Guangming Top Second day: Front mountain down: Ciguang Pavilion - Tiandu Peak - Yupinglou - Guangming Top - West Sea Grand Canyon Recommended spots for shooting sunrise and sunset 📸 Sunrise: Shixin Peak, Yungu Cableway mountain top station Sunset: Feilai Stone, Guangming Top, White Goose Ridge Weather If it snows or rains the day before, the chances of a sunny day with a sea of clouds and sunrise the next day are high. Use weather apps to predict the golden time for sunrise and the probability of a sea of clouds, and prepare in advance. Accommodation Staying at Guangming Top is a convenient choice, as you can see the sunrise and sunset just by going downstairs. The price of hotels on the mountain top is high, so I suggest staying at White Goose Ridge like I did, where they charge by bed and offer good value for money. After returning from the Five Great Mountains, one does not look at other mountains; after returning from Huangshan, one does not look at other peaks Come and visit Huangshan

⛰ In your lifetime, climbing Mount Huang should be approached with caution. The saying 'Having seen the Five Great Mountains, one need not see any other mountains; having seen Mount Huang, one need not see the Five Great Mountains' speaks of Mount Huang in Anhui. After climbing it, you will truly understand the meaning of this phrase. In terms of scenery, Mount Huang is unrivaled. 🚠 Mount Huang tickets can be purchased in advance on this platform, with adult tickets priced at 190 yuan per person. The entrance time is from 6:10 to 17:00. There are three cable car routes, and no matter which you choose, you can complete the climb of the entire Mount Huang. Cable car tickets are 90 yuan per adult. There are also shuttle buses, with tickets costing 19 yuan per person, which can take you directly from the main gate to the cable car station. This platform also offers various combination packages of cable car, shuttle bus, and entrance tickets, which you can purchase according to your actual situation. 🧗🏻‍♂️ Taking the shuttle bus to Ci Guang Pavilion, there are two routes: one is to climb directly, and by continuing to climb, you can reach the peak of Tian Du. Alternatively, you can take the Yu Ping cable car up the mountain. Queues may be long during holidays, but it's really fast to get up the mountain, reaching an altitude of 700 meters in no time. The view from the cable car is very beautiful, and it is recommended for those who are not physically strong to not overexert themselves and take the cable car instead. 🌲 After descending from the cable car, you must visit the Welcoming Guests Pine. If you are interested in climbing, you can challenge Tian Du Peak, but it is far away and at a high altitude, so it is not recommended to try it rashly without the physical strength. 🌱 After descending from Tian Du Peak, you can head to Yu Ping Pavilion, passing by the Welcoming Guests Pine. At Yu Ping Pavilion, the two routes converge. 🏞 The Lotus Peak is now closed, so we will not consider it. Follow the direction signs directly to Guang Ming Summit, which is the place where the six major sects besieged in the past. It is the second highest peak of Mount Huang after Lotus Peak. If you don't have the physical strength, it is not recommended to challenge Tian Du Peak this time; you can come back next time. Mount Huang cannot be fully explored in one day, so don't overeat and find yourself unable to descend. 🗿 On the way from Guang Ming Summit to Dan Xia Peak is Guang Ming Summit, but you don't need to climb Dan Xia Peak. Before reaching Pai Yun Pavilion, you will see the legendary Flying Rock. ⛺️ Continue from Pai Yun Pavilion to Monkey Gazing at the Sea and Dream Pen Producing Flowers. Monkey Gazing at the Sea is an excellent spot to view the sea of clouds. Dream Pen Producing Flowers is said to be where the immortal poet Li Bai visited Mount Huang and left behind his pen, creating its marvelous scenery. Do not miss it. 🏕 Due to time and safety concerns, it may not be possible to enjoy the sunset, sunrise, or sea of clouds at Guang Ming Summit. Don't worry, go to Shi Xin Peak, which is closer to the Yun Gu cable car and mountain hotels, making it the best spot for many tourists to watch the sunset and sunrise. 🚡 After watching the sunset, you can take the cable car down to Yun Gu Temple. However, Yun Gu Temple has long been demolished and now rebuilt as Yun Gu Villa, which has Huizhou architectural style. If interested, you can visit it along the way. 🏨 After such a day, you will have completed your tour of Mount Huang. If you still have energy or desire to explore more, you can stay in a hotel on the mountain and wait to watch the sunrise. 🗻 We have just discussed the steps for entering and exiting Mount Huang through the south gate. If you have ample time, you can head towards the north gate. Bai E Ridge, Guan Shi Pavilion, and other must-see attractions can make up for what you missed. The three wonders of Mount Huang—strange pines, peculiar rocks, and the sea of clouds—can be seen again in these sceneries. Afterwards, we can challenge Dan Xia Peak, which has its own unique landscape and is very beautiful. 📷 After descending from Dan Xia Peak, you can go to Xi Hai Viewing Cloud Pavilion. The sea of clouds is at waist level here, making it an excellent position to enjoy the sea of clouds. Return to Guang Ming Summit and descend to Bai Yun Hotel, where there are two routes down the mountain. One is to the small train station, with adult tickets priced at 100 yuan per person, which can take you directly to the valley by train. Alternatively, you can descend to San Xi Bridge via Bu Xian Bridge, where the Stone Man Peak has peculiarly shaped rocks. However, you need to descend to San Xi Bridge to climb up. Finally, you will descend to the west gate. ⌛️ The human body has its limits, and choosing one path means giving up another. However, Mount Huang guarantees that whichever path you choose will be the best. Trust me, after climbing Mount Huang for the first time, you will want to climb it a second and third time. The gates of Mount Huang are always open for you. 🌅 The best spots to watch the sunrise: Guang Ming Summit, Shi Xin Peak, Bai E Ridge, Monkey Gazing at the Sea, Welcoming Guests Pine, Dan Xia Peak. 🌇 The best spots to watch the sunset: Guang Ming Summit, Shi Xin Peak, Dan Xia Peak, Qun Feng Top, Fei Lai Peak, Ao Yu Peak, Lotus Pavilion, Bai E Ridge. 💌 A simplified map of Mount Huang is also provided for you, so plan well for your first visit. 🥰

|How did I climb Mount Huangshan?||. Mountaineering Guide for Absolute Beginners | How did I climb Mount Huangshan?|| First of all, I have never climbed a mountain before, so this article is suitable for complete novices. But I have long admired Mount Huangshan, am keen on challenges, and love the feeling of endorphins! Transport: Take the high-speed train to Huangshan North After getting off, I took a taxi directly to the south gate of Mount Huangshan, which cost over 100 yuan Accommodation: Wyndham Preparation for climbing: You must buy a walking stick, the simplest one for two yuan is enough, as you need support for going up and down + a hat and a windbreaker, as it can be cool and hot when it's windy on the mountain + water and food Climbing: I hired a guide directly, about 500 yuan for a day. This includes tickets, round-trip transportation, but not the cable car and the West Sea mini train Note: There are several plans for Mount Huangshan, depending on the distance you walk. I took the 80% route, so it was the most expensive I took the cable car both ways, went to the West Sea by the West Sea mini train, and still ended up climbing to the point of collapse, cursing all the way haha, but I still successfully reached the summit of Bright Top! That night, my knees hurt so much that I couldn't sleep, and at 5 a.m. I ordered Yunnan Baiyao, and I recovered normally after 3 days. (So some professionals advise us to bring knee pads to protect our knees) Scenery: To be honest, it's beautiful on a sunny day, but to say it's super beautiful, at least the day I was there wasn't THAT beautiful haha, maybe it's more beautiful compared to other mountains, and it's not as good on a cloudy day as on a sunny day, I think In conclusion, climbing up the mountain is tiring, and there are also many steps when going down, but I was filled with endorphins! I feel super awesome for having climbed Mount Huangshan!

Choose the right weather, otherwise the Huangshan you see will look like the last two pictures. Go up the mountain from the back and down from the front, otherwise you'll climb until you doubt life. I'm the kind of person with relatively poor physical strength, this route is just right for me, I can't accept a bit from the front mountain up. 3. For those chubby friends who go up the Lotus Peak from the back mountain, if you want to challenge yourself and see the incredibly dangerous scenery on the platform, I recommend going down from the front mountain. I'm extremely grateful that I went down from the front mountain, the scenery is really good! But also act according to your ability, my friend slipped several times when going down the front mountain, I also occasionally ask passers-by to give me a hand, the climbers are very united! 4. This time I climbed the Bright Summit and Lotus Peak, a great achievement in life completed! Happy! I'm not very tired climbing Lotus Peak, because of the queue, I can climb slowly, my friend can't rush me haha 5. Recommend staying on Bright Summit, there are astronomical telescopes at night, I saw Saturn for the first time, very excited. I saw the sunset glow, stars, sunrise, satisfied! I don't know much about other mountain top hotels, I hate looking at guides, it's foggy so I directly ask friends who have been there for recommendations, but Baiyun is a long uphill road from Bright Summit, if I stay in Baiyun, I probably won't come out to see the stars and sunrise
