Yellow Mountain
Immerse yourself in Yellow Mountain (Huang Shan) ’s breathtaking landscapes, UNESCO heritage charm, and cultural treasures on this meticulously crafted journey. Designed to blend adventure, relaxation, and authentic local flavors, this tour captures the magic of Huangshan in May, when the mountain is adorned with vibrant alpine rhododendrons and bathed in springtime splendor.
Day 1: From Shanghai to Huizhou Heritage
Arrive in Huangshan Bei Station by midday. Savor a farm-to-table lunch of authentic Huizhou cuisine in a centuries-old, eco-friendly Hui-style mansion in Xixinan Ancient Village, where rustic charm meets culinary tradition. Next, explore Chengkan Village, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its dreamy canals, Ming-Qing architecture, and symbolic ink painting landscapes. As dusk falls, retreat to your handpicked hotel nestled in nature, where a serene open-air hot spring awaits to soothe your body under starry skies.
Day 2: Huangshan’s Majesty & Natural Wonders
Rise early to beat the crowds and ascend Huangshan’s peaks via a scenic cable car ride from the quieter "Back Mountain route". Marvel at the "Four Wonders"—legendary pine trees, jagged granite peaks, sea of clouds, and hot springs—while professional photographers capture you amid May’s crowning glory: blooming alpine rhododendrons painting the slopes in pinks and purples.
Day 3: Cultural Legacy & Return to Shanghai
Conclude your journey with a guided tour of the Anhui Folk Architecture Museum, delving into the history of Huizhou’s iconic white-walled, black-tiled buildings. Leave by high-speed train before dusk, reflecting on memories of misty peaks, cultural treasures, and unforgettable flavors.
