MT.Huangshans is especially well known for its enchanting peaks and crevices. Yellow Mountain’s scenery varies from season to season. The swirling mists of Huangshan’s peaks creates the euphoric atmosphere commonly depicted in Chinese art. This guide and the website’s map should come in handy for those interested in exploring the beauty of MT.Huangshan.
After entering the mountains of Huanshan in southern Anhui, you will quickly come upon Yellow Mountain’s Hot Springs, the first attraction of Mt. Huangshan. Six hundred and thirty meters above the sea level, the Hot Springs are a large tourist complex, that includes MT.Huangshan’s Taoyuan Guesthouse, Xuanyuan Hotel, hot spring baths and a hot spring swimming pool, a modern postal-telecommunications Building, villas and tourist shops. The scenic area straddles the Peach Blossom Brook that runs through Purple Cloud Peak and Peach Blossom Peak. From The Hot Springs, there are two options for sightseeing: One is to ascend the imposing and steep mountains, descending down a picturesque back mountain passageway, that winds it’s way back down to the Hot springs. The other options is more suited to travelers whishing to avoid strenuous hiking.
Mount Huangshan, literally translated as Yellow Mountain, ranks among the Great Wall and the famous Terracotta Warriors as one of China’s most luring tourist attractions. Located in the eastern province of Anhui, it is a convenient train or bus ride from urban centers like Hangzhou and Shanghai—a perfect getaway for visitors in search of fresh air and a chance to experience China’s natural beauty. As an international ecotourism point of interest, UNESCO listed the mountain as an official World Cultural Heritage Site in 1990. Known for its unique pines, geological formations, dream-like clouds and clear hot springs, Huangshan is known in China as "The Number One Mountain Under Heaven;" though, with close to eighty awe-inspiring peaks in excess of 1,000 meters tall, Huangshan is actually an entire range of mountains and valleys, sure to impress the dedicated outdoor tourist or those in search of China’s best mountain resorts. The jutting rocks, shimmering pools, gurgling water falls and the ephemeral clouds that make up the mountain’s dreamlike ambience are sure to invoke images of the most famous Chinese art.

Day3-A visit to historical sites is your must after you get down the mountain, too. At the foot of Huangshan Mountain, there are several ancient small towns, and they look especially beautiful against the red leaves of autumn. The stone paved streets zigzag up and down with the topography of the mountain, and the murmuring brook glistens in the autumn sun. Among them, the old residence in Hongcun and Xidi Villages which are praised by many scholars as the "treasure house of ancient oriental arts of architecture," have been accepted by UNESCO as the World Cultural Heritage Site. So on the last day, we may pay a visit to some ancient villages with the high fame of autumn scenery.

Huizhou captures the very essence of historic Chinese culture, now globally recognized for its delicacy, intrigue, and charm. Numerous celebrities of a bygone era in China’s rich history claim Huizhou as their home -- writers, poets, painters, calligraphers and officials all hailed from Huizhou, their legacies still preserved. Besides the remarkable estates throughout the region, Huizhou hosts many thousands of complete architectural preservations. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) listed Xidi and Hongcun villages, both in Yixian County, as World Heritage sites in November 2000. The ancient town of Tunxi is its best-preserved business street with the characteristics of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Civilian Huizhou-style residences highlight local physical features of the area and embrace widely observed concepts of fengshui and aesthetic trends. Black tiles, white walls and ornamental horse heads painted elegantly on upturned eaves lend an air of majesty even the smallest of details. As a school of traditional Chinese architecture, Huizhou-style architecture amasses elegance, simplicity and dignity in perfect harmony. Tourists will appreciate the conceptual architecture as an entirely unique art form. Huizhou’s sites are simply awe-inspiring!

I am happy to meet and pick you up anywhere in Huangshan and China. I organize, plan and deliver any type of private tailer-made excursion for you and your family.
I'll take you under my wing and show you what only the insiders know.
With large tour groups you are stuck to their schedule, right down to the forced gift shop visit. Sometimes they pass up the most interesting details about a sight because it would be impossible for everyone in a large group to see it. And if you can't hear the guide, or you fall behind because the pace is too fast, you're just out of luck. On your own you walk around with your nose in a local-guide book.
None of this happens with a private guide! You won't miss the most interesting places wherever you go. You will choose your own pace and schedule. You will eat your meals when and where you want them. You will see the places and sites most interesting to YOU, get closer to details and enjoy personal conversations geared directly to your interests with the friendly local people.It's your vacation! Get the most out of it !
