[2025 Huangshan Attraction] Travel Guide for The Guest-Greeting Pine (Updated Apr)

To be honest, I rarely use the word "stunning" to describe a place!‼️ If you plan to visit Anhui this fall🍁, I would recommend one place, Huangshan! I stayed in Huangshan for 3 days, and the scenery on the mountain was stunning. 📷[My 3-day, 2-night itinerary] Day 1: Take the Yuping Cableway up the mountain, then visit the Guest-Greeting Pine, challenge Tiandu Peak, walk through the Hundred Steps Cloud Ladder, and finally reach Aoyu Peak to enjoy the sunset🌅. Day 2: Go to Bright Summit to watch the sunrise, then visit the Flying Stone, explore the Xihai Grand Canyon, visit the Paiyun Pavilion, go to the Xihai Hotel, then go to the Cool Terrace, and finally enjoy the unique view of the Monkey Watching the Sea. Day 3: Go to Shixin Peak to watch the sunrise🌄, then visit Shilin Peak, take the Yungu Cableway down the mountain, take a bus to Taiping Lake Scenic Area, and take a boat to the island. ⛰️Huangshan travel tips: ✅I took the reverse route, so there were not many people on the road, and it was more comfortable to travel. ✅You don't have to get up early on the first day. You can choose to go up the mountain at 9–10 am, when there are relatively fewer people going to Tiandu Peak and seeing the Guest-Greeting Pine. ✅If you want to see the sunrise at Bright Summit, remember to arrive half an hour early. The sunrise time is different every day, so pay attention in advance. ✅Huangshan has a special sea of clouds forecast, which you can check in advance. If it rains the day before and clears up the next day, the probability of a sea of clouds is high. The probability of a sea of clouds in autumn and winter is higher than in spring and summer. ✅It is recommended to stay in the mountains, so it is convenient to watch the sunrise and sunset, and you will not miss those beautiful moments. 🏞️Taiping Lake Scenic Area: This is a relatively niche attraction, only 0.5 hours' drive from Huangshan. The lake is clear and green, the mountains are rolling, and the many islands are like scattered pearls. It is the most charming time of autumn, and you can take a boat to the island to play, which is a great experience! 🚍[Transportation Guide] After taking the high-speed train to "Huangshan North" station, it is convenient to take a taxi or bus to Huangshan, which takes about 1 hour.

[Rose] “After visiting the Five Mountains, you will not look at any other mountains. After visiting Mount Huangshan, you will not look at any other mountains.” It was only when I set foot on this magical land of Mount Huangshan that I deeply understood the true meaning of Xu Xiake’s famous saying. Huangshan, this top scenic spot known as "the most unique mountain in the world", has left an indelible mark in my heart with its incomparable magnificent scenery, making me want to go there again and again. [Rose] When I first entered Huangshan, it felt like I had stepped into a dreamlike fairyland. The rolling mountains are like a giant dragon tumbling in the sea of ​​clouds. The majestic scene instantly shocked me. Looking up, the peaks and forests look like the sea. Countless strange peaks and rocks rise from the ground in various shapes. Some are like sharp swords piercing the sky, some are like graceful immortals, and some are like monkeys watching the sea. They are lifelike and make people marvel at the wonders of nature. [Rose] The strange pines in Huangshan are even more unique. They grow on cliffs, take root in cracks in rocks, and display their unique charm with their tenacious vitality. The Welcoming Pine is like a hospitable host, stretching out its verdant branches to welcome every tourist coming from afar; the Farewell Pine is like a polite gentleman, silently bidding farewell to the tourists when they leave. These unique pines are not only a symbol of Huangshan Mountain, but also a manifestation of the spirit of perseverance. [Rose] Walking along the winding mountain road, with clouds and mist lingering around us, it feels like we are above the clouds. Sometimes the clouds are filled with mist, and the scene in front of you is hazy, making you feel as if you have entered a mysterious world; sometimes the clouds dissipate, and the sun shines on your body, making you feel warm and comfortable. This ever-changing cloud and mist landscape adds a mysterious color to Huangshan, making people intoxicated and reluctant to leave. [Rose] When I climbed to the top of Guangmingding and looked down at the magnificent scenery below, an indescribable excitement surged in my heart. The undulating mountains in the distance set off the blue sky and white clouds, forming a beautiful picture. The sunlight shines on the mountain peaks, reflecting golden light, as if covering the whole world with a layer of golden gauze. Only then did I truly understand the meaning of Xu Xiake's words, "After climbing Mount Huangshan, there is no mountain in the world that can compare to it." [Rose] The beauty of Huangshan lies not only in its natural scenery, but also in the profound cultural heritage it contains. In every corner of Huangshan, you can see stone carvings of poems and lyrics left by ancient literati and poets. These stone carvings are not only a praise of the beautiful scenery of Huangshan, but also a treasure of Chinese culture. [Rose] During my time in Huangshan, I felt as if I had merged with nature and had forgotten all my worries and fatigue. With every breath you take, you can feel the fresh air; with every step forward, you can appreciate the different scenery. Everything here fascinates me and makes me full of attachment to this land. [Rose] When I left Huangshan, I was filled with reluctance. I know that this trip to Huangshan will become a precious memory in my life. I look forward to our next reunion, to set foot on this magical land again and feel its beauty and charm. Huangshan, one of China's top scenic spots, shows the world the magic and greatness of nature with its unique charm, and also makes me understand what true beauty is.

This Hanfu lover declares: Huangshan is the holy land of time travel! Green tiles, white walls and horse-faced skirts, any photo will look like a still from "Dream of Splendor" ~ This strategy for the double kill of "culture + beautiful scenery" is worth collecting quickly by sisters with ancient style! Day 1: First experience of Huizhou, a thousand-year-old city In the morning, take the high-speed train directly to Huangshan North and head straight to Huizhou Ancient City (free admission!). I rented a set of Song Dynasty Hanfu (💰80 yuan/day) on Dousan Street. When I walked past Xuguo Stone Archway with an oil-paper umbrella, the NPC uncle actually praised me for being "very beautiful" ~ In the afternoon, I slipped into Yangchan Tulou. The staggered yellow mud walls made the lilac jacket look particularly gentle. My phone ran out of battery from taking so many photos 📱! In the evening, we checked into Shiting Huayi (highly recommended!), a homestay converted from a 200-year-old Huizhou merchant’s house. The moonlight on the lotus pond can be seen just outside the window. The butler served me hot Huangshan Maofeng tea, and I instantly dreamed back to the Ming and Qing dynasties~ Day 2: Walking in Wonderland, 30,000 steps a day At 6 o'clock, take the Yuping cable car up the mountain and head straight to the Welcoming Pine! Wearing Hanfu to climb a mountain is indeed... sour and refreshing, but when the pine branches brush against your hairpin, you will instantly understand the ancients' obsession of "I would rather eat without meat than live without pine trees"~ At noon, I ate super fresh stinky mandarin fish at Baiyun Hotel. The more I ate, the more I liked it! In the afternoon, we challenged Aoyu Cave. When we squatted and crawled through the narrow cracks in the rocks, we finally understood why the ancients said "the mountain is as dangerous as a knife" ~ In the evening, we lay on the lawn of Guangmingding to watch the sunset. The clouds were like an overturned rouge box, dyeing the entire sky red🌇 Day 3: Farewell Poems in the Landscape Gallery Give up the crowded Xidi and Hongcun and follow the local grandmas to visit Bishan Village. I wrote a postcard at the Bishan Bookstore, which was converted from a century-old ancestral hall, and sent a "brocade letter in the clouds" to my future self 💌 ~ Finally, I got lost in Chengkan Bagua Village for three hours, but unexpectedly came across a pond full of blooming lotus flowers. It turns out that getting lost is another way to encounter surprises! Exclusive Tips for Culture Control 1. Guidelines for Photographing Hanfu Huizhou Ancient City recommends wearing a light and elegant chest-length skirt, while Yangchu Tulou is suitable for Ming Dynasty-style vests. Bring a fan or bamboo basket as props, avoid the top light period between 10-15 pm 2. In-depth experience list Learn Hui ink painting in Bagua Village, Chengkan (free experience!) Bishan Bookstore’s limited edition stamp (a total of 8 Hui-style architectural stamps) 3. Hide food map Tangkou Town "Huizhou flavor" must order Yipin pot (50 yuan per person, full) You can buy a big bag of crab shell yellow sesame cakes in Tunxi Old Street for 10 yuan! 4. Traffic magic operation Huangshan → Hongcun carpooling 25 yuan/person, 1 hour faster than the bus Find the B&B owner to rent an electric car (50 yuan/day), which is very convenient for traveling around the ancient village

🌸 Finally decided! I'm going to Hongcun Village in Anhui for May Day! Ink-wash Hongcun + fields of rapeseed flowers—it truly feels like stepping into a painting. ✨ It's breathtakingly beautiful! ❗【👇 Click below to start your journey to Hongcun Village in Anhui】❗ ✨【Must-visit experiences】 Hongcun: "A village in a Chinese painting," with stunning reflections in South Lake and Moon Pond.

The 5-yuan bamboo poles at the entrance saved my life. ✔️Large temperature difference at the summit, layering a windbreaker + sun hat is the best. ✔️Self-heating hot pot is 100 times better than instant noodles (don't ask me how I know). ✔️Taking the Yungu Cable Car up the back mountain saves more energy (the front mountain steps are super...). ‼️Those hiking down, be sure to check the route, don't 🙅 go the wrong way. [There are two directions for hiking down: one is towards the cable car, and the other is towards Songgu Nunnery (this is towards the north area, very far from the south area). The descent towards Songgu Nunnery is about 10 km and very remote. Not recommended for first-time hikers.] Now I finally understand what Xu Xiake meant by "Once you've climbed Huangshan, no other mountain compares"! The moment the clouds flowed through my fingers, I felt like I was ascending in a fantasy novel. Any questions, ladies? See you in the comments section.

Huangshan, known as the "Most Extraordinary Mountain Under Heaven," has long topped my travel bucket list. Finally, I set foot on this poetic land, measuring its grandeur with my steps, capturing its magnificence through my lens, and experiencing its charm with my heart. Here are my detailed notes from this Huangshan journey, hoping to inspire those who dream of visiting. I. Itinerary Planning (1) Day 1: Arrival in Huangshan City, First Taste of Hui Culture Arriving at Huangshan North Station at noon, I was warmly greeted by a tour guide who took me to the hotel for check-in. After dropping off my luggage, I eagerly explored Tunxi Old Street. The ancient street's worn smooth stone slabs and elegant Hui-style architecture with white walls, black tiles, and horse-head walls seemed to tell stories of the past. I tried stinky tofu at a street shop - its crispy golden exterior paired with special chili sauce created an explosion of flavors, with a unique fermented taste that lingered. The stinky mandarin fish, though pungent in smell but delicious in taste, with its tender and flavorful meat, is a must-try Huangshan delicacy. (2) Day 2: Core Tour of Huangshan Scenic Area, A Magical Journey Among Clouds and Pines After breakfast, we headed to Huangshan Scenic Area. Taking the Yungu Cable Car up the mountain, Huangshan's beauty gradually unfolded before us. Upon reaching the summit, we walked along the mountain path to Shixin Peak first. Here, remarkable pines stand everywhere - the Welcome Pine, Black Tiger Pine, and Love Pine... each uniquely shaped by nature's artistry. They either stand on steep cliffs or root in rock crevices, displaying remarkable vitality. Next, we visited Dreaming Pen Flower, where a peculiar pine grows from a brush-shaped boulder, resembling a blooming flower - truly amazing. We had lunch at Beihai Hotel, enjoying Huangshan pancakes and chicken soup with rock ear fungus. The pancakes were crispy outside with sweet filling, perfect for hiking snacks. The chicken soup was nourishing, clear, and richly flavored, energizing our tired bodies. In the afternoon, we challenged the West Sea Grand Canyon. Mist-shrouded with unique pines and rocks everywhere, the winding plank road seemed to lead through a fairyland. Distant peaks appeared and disappeared in rolling clouds, creating a dreamlike scene. At dusk, we watched the sunset from Paiyun Pavilion. The setting sun cast golden light across the sea of clouds, painting Huangshan in orange-red hues - breathtakingly beautiful. (3) Day 3: Sunrise, Sea of Clouds, and Ancient Hui Villages - A Journey Through Time I woke up at 5 AM to watch the sunrise from Bright Top. Standing at the peak in silence with only gentle breezes, I watched the eastern sky gradually brighten until the sun emerged from the sea of clouds, its rays illuminating all of Huangshan. At that moment, all fatigue vanished, leaving only awe and emotion. After sunrise, we visited Ao Fish Peak, Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, and finally the Welcome Pine. As Huangshan's iconic sight, the Welcome Pine extends its strong branches as if warmly greeting every visitor. I lingered there, moved by this ancient pine that symbolizes Huangshan's spirit, still thriving despite weathering countless storms. In the afternoon, we took the Yuping Cable Car down and visited Hongcun Village. Known as "China's Village in a Painting," Hongcun preserves numerous Ming and Qing dynasty buildings. Entering felt like traveling centuries back to ancient Huizhou. South Lake's crystal-clear water reflects the white-walled, black-tiled ancient houses, while Moon Pond sits like a bright moon in the village center, surrounded by horse-head walls forming a beautiful ink painting. Walking through the village, I absorbed the unique charm of Hui architecture, where every brick and tile seemed to tell ancient stories. (4) Day 4: Cultural Experience and Departure, Leaving with Precious Memories In the morning, we visited the Huizhou Culture Museum to learn about Hui merchant history and architectural features. Hui merchants were once among China's most famous merchant groups, creating countless business legends and leaving rich cultural heritage. Hui architecture is world-renowned for its horse-head walls and exquisite brick, wood, and stone carvings - treasures of Chinese traditional architecture. Then we visited the Xie Yuda Tea Culture Museum, learning about Huangshan Maofeng tea production and tasting this renowned tea. As one of China's top ten famous teas, Huangshan Maofeng has bird tongue-shaped leaves, tender green color, subtle fragrance, and rich taste. At the tea museum, I seemed to smell Huangshan's mountain air and feel tea culture's profound depth. After lunch, we departed with wonderful memories. Huangshan's scenes replay in my mind like a movie - the magnificent sea of clouds, fantastic pines and rocks, tranquil ancient villages... all unforgettable. This magical mountain not only showcased nature's masterwork but also revealed Hui culture's rich heritage. II. Travel Tips •Transportation: Huangshan North Station is close to the scenic area. High-speed rail is recommended for convenient and fast travel. •Accommodation: Mountain-top hotels are expensive but convenient for sunrise and sunset viewing. Tangkou Town below offers many budget hotels and guesthouses with more dining options. •Food: Local specialties include Huizhou stinky tofu, stinky mandarin fish, Huangshan pancakes, and chicken soup with rock ear fungus.

#Mainland Travel 📸 Top 10 must-photograph attractions and experiences 1. 【Greeting Pine】(near Guangmingding) The most famous symbol of Huangshan is the tree trunks twisted like parent arms. It is recommended to take pictures in the early morning when the fog is thick, and use a telephoto lens to compress the mountain layers to capture the wonder of "pine and stone symbiosis". 2. [Xihai Bridge] (On the Yungu Cableway) The 10.7-kilometer-long "Sky Bridge" is like a bottomless abyss under your feet when you walk on it. At dusk, you can take photos of the "sunset melting gold" at the bridgehead, and the "Flying Stone" on the other side looks like Bodhidharma sitting in meditation. 3. [Guangmingding Sea of ​​Clouds] (Best sunrise observation point) The round mountain top at an altitude of 1,860 meters is prone to the "Buddha's Light" phenomenon in the early morning of winter. It is recommended to wear non-slip boots to climb the 360-degree observation deck and feel the shock of "reaching out to pick the stars" in the cold wind. 4. [Paiyun Pavilion] (under Xihai Bridge) "You can't see the beauty of Huangshan Mountain without visiting Paiyun Pavilion." This is a great location to overlook the "Thousand Island Lake"-style sea of ​​clouds. In the summer afternoons, you can take photos of the "rainbow through the clouds" special effect, which requires turning on the camera's HDR mode. 5. [Shixin Peak] (next to the black tiger pine) "When climbing Mount Huangshan, Shixin Peak is the most amazing peak." At the end of the 15-hour hiking trail, the mountain is covered with strange pines like a peacock spreading its wings. It is recommended to take the Yungu Cableway (NT$100/one way) up and down the mountain, which saves effort and allows you to visit one more attraction. 6. [Hongcun Night View] (Extended experience at the foot of the mountain) This ancient village is 10 kilometers away from the northern foot of Huangshan Mountain. When the lights are on at night, the horse head wall is reflected in Nanhu Lake. You can take long-exposure photos of "Ink Hongcun" with rapeseed fields (in spring) or red leaves (in autumn). 🌄 Deep roaming experience 1. Cloud Hot Spring: Stay in the open-air hot springs of Yunyexuan or Xihai Hotel, soak in the 42°C weakly acidic spring water, look up at the starry sky and the clouds in the mountains, and feel the collision of "fairy air" and "earthly air". 2. Day and Night Double Peak Challenge: Take the Yungu Cableway up the mountain in the early morning, climb Shixin Peak in the afternoon, check into Guangmingding Hotel in the evening to view the sea of ​​clouds, chase the "Three Wonders of Huangshan" (monkeys, clouded leopards, and bulbuls) late at night, and experience the magical feeling of "seeing two seasons in one day." 3. Ecological tea picking and production: Come to the tea garden near "Hongcun" to participate in the picking and frying of "Taiping Houkui", and use the new buds dried on bamboo baskets to make "Huangshan Maofeng", and feel the poetic beauty of "a cup of grass on the plain" in the tea fragrance. 4. Explore the ancient roads: Take the "Taohua Creek Trail" to visit the "Taohua Cave". In spring, you can take pictures of the "pink mist peach blossoms" and in autumn, you can encounter the "red rain of maple leaves". The cave also contains the ruins of the "Taohua Temple" from the Qing Dynasty and cliff carvings. 🍜 Local food map • "Stinky Mandarin Fish": The fermented smell of the old shop in Hongcun is pungent, but it tastes sour, sweet and delicious after eating, and is paired with a bowl of "rice cake" to relieve the greasiness. • "Black fungus stewed with free-range chicken": Use black fungus produced in Huangshan and free-range chicken to cook the soup, which is as thick as black jade and is a must-have for warming up in autumn and winter. • "Mao tofu": A signature snack at Hongcun Night Market. The surface of the tofu is covered with white mycelium. After frying, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes even better when dipped in chili sauce. ⚠️ Things to note 1. Huangshan is foggy, so it is recommended to bring non-slip trekking poles, headlights and windproof jackets with you. Snow boots are essential in winter. 2. April to June is the rainy season each year. Some trails may be temporarily closed. Please check the "Huangshan Tourism Distribution Center" announcement in advance. 3. Mountain climbing takes a long time, so it is recommended to visit 2-3 main attractions every day to avoid excessive fatigue. 4. If you want to watch the sunrise, be sure to book a hotel on the top of the mountain 3 days in advance. Rooms at Guangmingding are in short supply (starting from NT$1,500+/night). 🚌 Four Seasons Time Anchor Season Recommended Experience Photography Tips Spring (March-May) Peach Blossom Island flower viewing, sea of ​​clouds at dawn Use a polarizing filter to reduce reflections and highlight the light transmittance of petals Summer (June-August) Sunset at Xihai Bridge, Summer B&B, Golden Hour 18:30-19:00, with Gradient Gray Filter Autumn (September-November) Red maple leaves and Bailudong Academy Telephoto lens compresses the forest and shoots in the morning mist to create an "ink painting" effect Winter (December-February): Snow Ridge Zen, Hot Spring Hotel.

Guys, who understands? I saw Huangshan covered in snow again, and it's absolutely stunning!

Only when you've truly climbed to the top of Huangshan and looked down from the summit can you understand the profound meaning of Xu Xiake's saying, "Return from the Five Great Mountains and you'll see no other mountains; return from Huangshan and you'll see no other peaks." Today, I'm sharing my mini Huangshan climbing guide with you all. You're welcome~ 📝Super Practical Tips: 1. Check in to a hotel near the South Gate transfer center at the foot of Huangshan the day before. This is convenient for an early start the next day, saving time and effort! 2.
