Hello, my dear friends! Today, I want to share my 3-day, 2-night trip to Huangshan with you.

🌄 Packing list: Sunscreen, sunglasses, hiking boots, warm coat (temperature difference between the top and bottom of the mountain), umbrella, snacks, water bottle (2L or more), and a simple first aid kit. Prices on the mountain are high, so bring as much as you can! 📍 Itinerary: Day 1: - Arrive in Huangshan City and check in to your hotel. - Visit Tunxi Ancient Street for dinner. I recommend Huizhou stinky mandarin fish, fermented tofu, and Huizhou baked cake. - Go to bed early to save energy for tomorrow's hike. Day 2: - Set off for the scenic area at 6 am. - I recommend going up the front of the mountain and down the back (less energy consumption). - Must-see: Shixin Peak, Bright Summit, and Flying Stone. - I recommend staying at Beihai Hotel, which is a great place to watch the sunset. - Remember to book in advance! It's hard to book during peak season. Day 3: - Get up at 4 am to watch the sunrise (the sea of clouds is amazing!). - After going down the mountain, you can visit Hongcun or Xidi Ancient Village. - Return home. 💡 Tips: 1. I recommend traveling during off-peak times to avoid the crowds during holidays. 2. Cable car tickets are cheaper online, and prices vary greatly between peak and off-peak seasons. 3. Cell phone signal is poor on the mountain, so remember to download offline maps. 4. The temperature at the top of the mountain is about 10 degrees lower than at the bottom, so be sure to bring enough clothes. 5. Check the sunrise and sunset times in advance so you don't miss the most beautiful moments. 🎯 Secret photo spots: - Lion Peak Viewing Platform (great for taking photos of the sea of clouds) - Narrow Cliff (less crowded) - Bright Summit Viewing Platform (you can take photos of the iconic Guest-Greeting Pine) 💰 Budget: Tickets: CNY 230; cable car: CNY 180 (round trip); accommodation on the mountain: CNY 600–1,000 per night; total budget for 2 people for 3 days: CNY 2,500–3,000.
