The best route for one-day tour + strategy
The best route for one-day tour of Mount Huangshan is in the back of the mountain on the Yungu cableway, and a thousand mountains under the Yuping cableway, which is the most labor-saving.
If you want to play all the major tourist routes on the mountain (including the West Sea Canyon and Tendu Peak), make sure to go to the transfer center early to get on the bus (just around 6 o'clock), so you don't waste time waiting in line on the ropeway.
[Recommended Route]
Yungu Ropeway-Shi Xinfeng-Heihu Pine-Beihai Hotel-Monkey Viewing the Sea (round-trip)-Paiyunlou-(West China Sea Canyon or Feilai Stone)-Haixin Pavilion-AoYu Peak-AoYu Cave-BaiBuTi Staircase-Lotus Pavilion-Yingkou Pine-Tiantu Peak (round-trip)-Yuping Ropeway.
[Detailed description of the route]
Basically, you don't need to consider the fork in the road from the Yungu Ropeway to Paiyunlou, and there are two ways you can choose to go from Paiyunlou to Haixinge:
1. Take the West China Sea Canyon First Ring (right) Second Ring (left) to the bottom of the canyon, and then take a subway car (100 RMB) to Baiyun Hotel (Haixinge).
1. Almost all the way down (steep steps, walk carefully), it takes more than 2 hours.
2. As far as the view is concerned, this is the best route. Because the West China Sea Grand Canyon is really awesome, it would be a shame to miss it.
3. If you are still in good physical condition, we suggest you take the underground railroad and go to Bright Top to see the scenery. It takes about 20 minutes to climb the mountain, and then go down after seeing it.
2. Take the route from the top of Flying Stone - Qunfeng to the top of Guangming, and then down to Haixinge.
1. From Paiyunlou to the top of Guangming, it is a gentle uphill climb (270 meters difference in height), and it takes more than an hour to walk slowly.
2. The advantage of this route is that you can get up close and personal with the flying stones (take classic photos of the flying stones), overlooking the West Sea Canyon, and save 100 yuan for the subway carriages.
--If you want to do both, you can consider just taking a trip to the West Sea Grand Canyon, then return to Paiyunlou, cross the Feilai Shi - the top of the group of peaks to the Bright Top, and then go down to Haixinge.
- Or go down to the West Sea Canyon, get on the ground railcar, then go to the Bright Top, then back and forth to Feilai Shi (about 40 minutes), then return the same way and walk to Haixin Ge.
Next up is the route from Haixinge to Yingkesong, which is relatively easy. First you go up a gentle slope to Ao Yu Peak (the new Ao Yu Peak Road is not recommended, although the view is not as good as the one from Ao Yu Peak), then you go down the Ao Yu Cave, then up the Hundred Steps, and then up to the Lotus Pavilion. After that it's downhill all the way. When you get on the Yuping ropeway, don't go down, but go to meet the Welcome Pine.
If you get to the Welcome Pine before 2:30 p.m., you can still go down to the Old Road entrance to climb Tendu Peak (which is recommended this year because it won't open until 2024). It's about a two-and-a-half hour round trip to catch the Yuping cableway down the mountain.
If you don't go to Tendu Peak, then you can take the Good Humor Slope to the Yuping Cableway Station, see the Welcome Pine and then take the cable car down the mountain.
: Note
1. Paiyun Pavilion can also be used to go straight to the bottom of the valley as you enter the West China Sea Grand Canyon, look at the flying stones between the first and second ring from a distance, take the subway to Shichuangfeng, walk for about 15 minutes to the Tianhai (Baiyun Guesthouse), and then continue to walk for 15 minutes to visit the top of the Brightness, and then return to the Tianhai (Baiyun Guesthouse) to continue the following trip.
2. From the location of Welcome Pine, if you don't climb Tendu Peak, you can choose to walk 500 meters to Yuping Ropeway Station to take the ropeway down the mountain, and then transfer to the scenic area transportation bus to the transfer center at the bottom of the mountain.
3. At the Yingkesong location, it is recommended to decide whether to climb Tendu Peak according to your time and physical strength. From Yingkesong, climb Tendu Peak from Tendu North Road and walk down Ciguangge from Tendu South Road. The whole journey takes about 4 to 5 hours.
4. Tendu Peak is in a normal open state for climbing from April 1 to the end of November each year until 2019. During this period, you may not be able to climb
Day trip cost
A day trip to Huangshan Mountain mainly depends on how an individual plays it, whether he or she is going to self-drive or charter a bus. Bianshao can tell you that the entrance fee to Mount Huangshan is 150 yuan/person, and the adult ticket for the Huangshan Mountain Scenic Area Taiping Cableway (upward) is 295 yuan/person. Scenic area bus 19 yuan/trip, ropeway 80 yuan/trip, each ropeway and cable car one-way ticket price for the peak season 80 yuan/person. Off-season 65 yuan/person. These are the basic expenses. A day trip without a stay is no more than 500 RMB. If you stay, it depends on whether you stay in peak season or off-season, and you usually don't spend much if you stay.
How much does it cost
The price of admission to attractions in Huangshan is not very high. It depends on whether you take the cable car or not. Generally speaking, things on the mountain are expensive. You can bring your own snacks if you have the strength, so it's more economical. Haha!
To give you a brief introduction to the ticket price of several attractions. You can refer to them: Emerald Valley tickets 70 yuan, with a student ID half price 35 yuan. Xiangxi rafting tickets 120 yuan. High season March-November Mount Huangshan tickets 230 yuan, cableway one-way 80 yuan (double 160 yuan) off-season December-February Mount Huangshan tickets 150 yuan, cableway one-way 65 yuan (double 130 yuan). (Holding a student card, summer teacher's card, military officer's card, senior citizen's card, disability card tickets are half price, of which members of the provincial-level or higher photographer's association Mount Huangshan tickets, cable car free; one or four level disability card Mount Huangshan tickets free of charge. Generally speaking, food and accommodation are the most expensive places. If you go with a group, the tour group will always take tourists to shopping places and try to make you spend money. If you don't join a tour group, I will recommend you a very good hotel - Wuyue Scenic Chain Hotel. It is located in Tangkou Town, and you can walk to many attractions such as Emerald Valley and Jiulong Waterfall, which saves a lot of transportation cost. The hotel is a four-star hotel with a comfortable and elegant environment. You can also get two breakfasts, free broadband, and free parking when you stay. One in the Huangshan Gongju! And if you go to Huangshan in the morning, you can also go to the front desk to ask for free maps, walking sticks, raincoats and so on.
Huangshan most famous and most worthwhile: Huangshan Mountain Scenic Area (admission: 230), Xidi Hongcun (tickets: 104 each), Shexian (attractions scattered, the price is difficult to count), the old street (free). I recommend going to the Huangshan Mountain Scenic Area for two days. One day is too stressful and tiring. I suggest taking the cable car for 80 RMB (one way). Tickets: 230. 50% discount for those with a teacher's license. The cheapest accommodation at the top of the mountain is public **** sanitary. The cheapest way is not to stay on Friday and Saturday, as prices are significantly higher on these two days. The youth hostels in town have a one-day tour to Huangshan Mountain (RMB 320, including transportation, guide, entrance fee, and insurance); and a two-day tour to Huangshan Mountain at a non-weekend price of 370 (including entrance fee, public **** hygienic lodging, transportation, guide, and insurance). Dihong village one-day tour: 200 yuan (including tickets, transportation, lunch, insurance, tour guide) in each of the participants in the group, if you go on your own, only the ticket 208 yuan, 30 yuan for a round trip. But if Xidi and Hongcun only go to one place, you can choose to go by yourself. Public **** bus station after 8:00 every hour there is a bus. The attractions in Shexian County are quite scattered, so you will not be able to distinguish between east and west, north and south if you go by yourself. The most famous in Shexian County are the Tang Yue pagoda group, Huizhou Old Town and Quotation Garden, and almost every attraction requires a ticket.
