Aoyu Peak

Aoyu Peak is 1,780 meters high. The peak is named after its shape, which looks like a huge and high whale head. The scenery at the top of Aoyu Peak is majestic and beautiful. On the left, you can see the towering Lotus Peak, and on the right, you can see the Flying Rock in the West Sea. In front of you is the wide South China Sea, and behind you is Guangmingding.
The best viewpoint for viewing Aoyu Peak is from the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder. Standing on the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder and looking back at Aoyu Peak, an extremely huge whale appears in front of you. The round and long whale body and the huge and high whale head are vivid; the whale mouth is wide open, as if it is swallowing something. There are several stones in front of the peak, which look like snails from a distance, forming wonders such as "Aoyu eating snails" and "Old Ao laying eggs". There is a turtle-shaped stone on the back of the peak, named "Aoyu carrying a golden turtle". As long as you watch it in person, you will definitely feel the majestic momentum of Aoyu Peak: "Let the clouds and waves rise and fall, I will stand with my head held high."

Aoyu Peak is a small peak located on the way from Yuping to Beihai. It is named after its shape. It is 1,780 meters above sea level and is one of the wonders of Huangshan. The landscapes include Aoyu Cave, Aoyu Peak, and Dakuaiwen. Aoyu is of course a legendary animal. In fact, the shape of this peak resembles a "sperm whale". As long as you choose the best viewing angle in the "Hundred-step Cloud Ladder" area, an extremely huge whale will appear in front of us. The round and long whale body and the huge and high whale head are vivid; the whale mouth is wide open, as if it is swallowing something.

By Phineas |

If you go up the mountain from the front mountain, pass the two turtle and snake stones, the hundred-step cloud ladder, and pass through the Aoyu Cave, you will reach the Aoyu Peak. The best view of the Aoyu Peak is at the hundred-step cloud ladder. Standing on it and looking back at the Aoyu Peak, an incomparably huge "giant whale" will appear in front of you.

There is a big viewing platform on Aoyu Peak. Looking at Guangmingding from afar, I realized I have walked so far! The weather is clear again, so unpredictable and capricious.

By Playing around |

Aoyu Peak has a wide view where you can watch the sunset. When looking at Aoyu Peak from Guangmingding, you can see "Aoyu carrying a golden turtle". When looking at Aoyu Peak from Baibu Yunti, you can see "Aoyu eating snails".

By Footprints of the Freeman |

Aoyu Peak is the only way to Guangmingding, and it is also a great place for viewing. Tiandu Peak and Lianhua Peak stand side by side in front of you, which is particularly spectacular against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. It is located between the main peaks of Lianhua, Guangmingding and Tiandu, and its height is just right, so it is very suitable for taking pictures of scenery or portraits. There are also several viewing platforms, where you can enjoy the majestic appearance of the main peaks.

2023.7.17 Lao Yang came down from Guangmingding to Lianhua Peak, passing Aoyu Peak. In order to save energy, he did not climb the mountain. He will come next time.

Aoyu Peak is 1,780 meters above sea level and is the highest of the 36 small peaks. It is named after its shape which resembles an aoyu. There is a naturally formed Aoyu Cave on the waist of the peak, with the words "Tianzao" engraved on it.

There are two routes down the mountain from Aoyuyu Peak. The left one is the Line of Sky, which is steeper, and the right one is the Aoyuyu Cave, which is relatively flat. Of course, we chose the challenging one, but when we reached the Line of Sky, we saw that we could only go up. After taking two photos, we obediently walked back to the Aoyuyu Cave.

By Chen Wei |

Located in the middle of Huangshan Mountain. It is named after its shape, which resembles a giant fish with its mouth open waiting for food. It is the first of the 36 small peaks of Huangshan Mountain. Go down the mountain from Lotus Peak, pass the Turtle and Snake Stones, the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, and pass through the Lotus Cave, and you will arrive at the Aoyu Peak. This peak is 1,780 meters above sea level. The peak is named after its shape. The huge and high whale head looks like a whale swallowing the world.

By Tracy |

Aoyu Peak is a great place to view the sea of clouds. Climbing the peak, you will feel that you are close to the sea of clouds. When you look at others or others look at you, it feels like you are in the sea of clouds. You are truly surrounded by fairy air.

By Big Bad Wolf |

The best view of Aoyu Peak is at Baibu Yunti

By zpyzhuzhu |

I went to Aoyu Peak in the morning to watch the sunrise. It was empty here and there was no need to reserve a seat in advance. Facts have proved that this choice was right. Although the view is not as wide as that of Guangmingding, I don’t have to endure the cold to reserve a seat several hours in advance, and it won’t be crowded.

By Rise from Fire |

After walking down from Guangmingding and heading towards the front mountain for about 20 minutes, you will reach Aoyu Peak. Aoyu is of course a legendary animal, but in fact, the shape of this peak resembles a sperm whale. As long as you choose the best viewing angle in the "Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder" area, an extremely large whale will appear in front of us. The round, long and tall whale body and the huge and tall whale head are vivid; the whale's mouth is wide open, as if it is swallowing something. It probably looks like this

Aoyu Peak is a small mountain located between Yuping and Beihai. It is named after its shape. It is 1,780 meters above sea level and is one of the wonders of Huangshan. The landscapes include Aoyu Cave, Aoyu Peak and Dakuaiwenzhang.

By Forget more |

From the front, it does look like a giant fish, eating snails. But from the back, I found that it looks more like the mythical beast Xuanwu.

By A Hao can't get fat |

Aoyu Peak is between Lianhua Peak and Guangmingding. From a distance, it looks a bit like a fish head. There are two round stones in front of the fish mouth. The tour guide said that it was an aoyu eating snails. Aoyu Peak is also a good place to watch the sunrise at Huangshan. The key is that there are not many people.

By free spirit |

At that time, the scenery in the four directions of east, west, south and north was completely different: in the southeast, there was thick fog, which came and went quickly, and the clouds and fog changed unpredictably, drawing a series of flowing landscape paintings. In the north, the sun was shining brightly at Guangmingding. In the west, there was a quiet sea of clouds and a blue sky.

By Southern Pearl |

One of the wonders of Huangshan, it looks like a whale, a turtle, and even more like a mythical beast. It is spectacular.

By Martian User |

The top of the mountain is named after the back of a giant fish. There are many tourists. It is just past the front mountain, and then there is Guangmingding.

By clistian |

There are not many steps on Aoyu Peak, and the exposed sandstone climbing is more wild; the peak is blown by the gust of wind, as if it is standing in the clouds, and the peaks are rolling and magnificent, like a fairyland.

By Lin Yongqing |

From the Lotus Pavilion, we went down to the bottom and then climbed to the top of Aoyu Peak. It was really hard to climb with a heavy load. So, my mood went through a process from suffering to happiness. When I climbed to the top of Aoyu Peak, I looked down from the height and was overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery.

By Sol |

Leaving Guangmingding and heading west, passing Haixin Pavilion, we arrived at Aoyu Peak. The name of Aoyu Peak comes from the huge rock on the top of the peak, which looks like a turtle and is beautifully named Aoyu. I personally think that this Aoyu is more like a landmark, because the beauty is not here, but the magnificent mountains and surging sea of clouds that you can see after climbing to the top of the peak.

By Waterwood Years |

Arriving at the top of Aoyu Peak, the terrain here is very high, and the peaks are gathered together, which is spectacular. From the top of Aoyu Peak, you can easily see the white ball of Guangmingding Meteorological Center.

By Flowing clouds and snow |

We came to the outside of Aoyu Cave and continued to climb up. To the left, we went to the top of Aoyu Peak (my husband went to the left). To the right, we went to the top of the Skyline (I went to the right, wanting to see where the Skyline was). Looking back from the top of the mountain, the Lotus Pavilion and the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder were clearly visible on the way back. Looking to the north, we found that the top of the mountain was flat, with buildings and a large white ball. I thought that was the legendary Bright Summit (Pingtian Rock)! Because we knew that there was not much time left, we caught up with my husband who was waiting and sat down to rest for a while, and then we walked slowly forward to browse. We found the stone carvings on the cliff, with annotations next to them: "Da Kua" refers to the splendid nature; "Wen Zhang" is a complex and gorgeous color or pattern, and Da Kua Wen Zhang describes the colorful and ever-changing scenery here. The further we go, the wider the terrain becomes, and the slope becomes gentler. Those stone rocks form large strange rocks, each of which is tall and mighty, and the entire peak landscape is magnificent. Climbing the ridge of Aoyu Peak is prohibited, but there are several high platforms at the end of the peak for visitors to enjoy the view and take photos. Looking from the south of the peak, the peaks are like waves on the sea, stretching endlessly, with a magnificent momentum. I didn't expect that the top of the Aoyu Peak on the top of the mountain would be so large and the surrounding scenery would be so beautiful. I was extremely happy for a while. From the top of the peak, you can see the misty waves, and you can pick the stars and the moon from the high platform.

If you want to stand high and look far, and have a panoramic view of the Yellow River and the East Sea, standing on Aoyu Peak is a great location with excellent visual effects. It is estimated that it should be excellent to watch the sunrise and sunset here. At the same time, Aoyu Peak is also a good place to rest. I stayed on Aoyu Peak for a long time before deciding to get up and go to Guangmingding.

By Sugar Soda |

I highly recommend Aoyufeng. It's a great place for taking photos. Everything you take in the photos is beautiful, whether it's people or scenery. The view is particularly wide and any pose you make is beautiful.

By As you wish |

The sun was about to set when I got off the underground track. I quickly ran to Aoyu Peak to find a better angle to take pictures. I was almost exhausted. When I got to Aoyu Peak, there were already many cameras and I quietly took out my Huawei phone to take pictures nearby. The sunset over the sea of clouds was particularly spectacular and beautiful. The sea of clouds was constantly rolling, and the photos could not reflect the complete beauty at all. Soon the sun completely set. The wind was very strong, and people were already frozen like dogs. I quickly went back to the hotel to eat and rest, and prepared to get up early tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise. With the beautiful sunset as a base, I was full of expectations for the sunrise.

By Fans of nature |

Aoyu Peak is located between Lianhua Peak and Guangmingding. Although its scenery is not so amazing, the view from its top is extremely broad and the viewing effect is excellent.

By fiesta |

The huge head of a giant aoyu does look a bit like a fish, and the weathering of the rock has formed the texture of a fish mouth and gills. We stopped here for a rest.

By Enhua |

It would be relatively easier to go up the mountain from Aoyu Peak! I heard that the road to Yitiantian is very narrow and can only accommodate one person, so you can only go up but not down.

By I have no intention |

Aoyu Peak looks big, but the top is not that big and can't accommodate too many tourists. There are many people going up, but few people going down. There is not even a decent road, let alone handrails. This caused a temporary "congestion".

The peak is named after its shape, like a huge and high whale head. It is composed of many huge rocks, so it looks a bit bare. However, don't underestimate these rocks. These rocks have various shapes, postures, and changes, forming many natural landscapes. It's just that we are now in it and it is impossible to see their true appearance. In this harsh environment, green plants are almost extinct, and only pine trees are still growing stubbornly. This further highlights the tenacity, tenacity, and indomitable spirit of Huangshan pine trees! It highlights the mutual support and mutual complementation of Huangshan's strange pines and rocks. On the cliffs, in the cracks of the rocks, and even directly rooted in the rocks! Under harsh conditions and difficult natural environments, only pine trees still stand proudly, laughing at the top of the dangerous peaks! Starting from Aoyu Peak, the beauty of Huangshan is truly displayed in front of the world! After passing through the "Aoyu Cave" and walking up the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, looking back at Aoyu Peak. At this time, Aoyu Peak revealed its true appearance. A huge whale head appeared in front of everyone, with its head wide open, looking like a whale swallowing. There were several rocks in front of the peak, which looked like snails from a distance. They formed wonders such as "the giant abalone eating snails" and "the old giant abalone laying eggs"! With the help of others, we also saw a naive "Pigsy wearing a monk's hat", which was really interesting!

By Lao Liang |

This is the second peak of Huangshan Mountain, which looks like a giant fish lying in the mist. The strange thing is that the head of the fish is buried in the mist, but the back of the fish is clear and bright. Is it shy? !

By Descartes |

My friend and I agreed to get up at 4:10 to watch the sunrise at the less popular Aoyu Peak. We walked about 15 minutes from the food court to the top of the peak. The sunrise was at 5:05 and we arrived at 4:35. We were one of the first few to arrive. The view of the sunrise here was also very good and there were not many people. The sun rose from thick clouds that day. When it came out, it was no longer like the first day. It was very dazzling, but the scenery was really great. The view was wide and the scenery was different. It was magnificent and beautiful.

By osprey |

I recommend this magical place, Aoyu Peak, which makes you feel open-minded. It's the kind of comfortable feeling that makes you want to shout a few times on it.

By Qingqing Zijin |

The mouth of the giant crocodile is very lifelike, and coming out of its mouth, you will feel suddenly enlightened.

By Zigui Wuliang |

Aoyu Peak is very close to Baiyun Hotel, and you can reach it by walking for a while. Looking back to the north, you can see the entire Guangmingding and Baiyun Hotel; to the east is Lianhua Peak, and the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder can also be seen clearly; to the west is the West Sea Grand Canyon, and the strange peaks of the Grand Canyon can still be vaguely seen. The most magical thing about Aoyu Peak is the Aoyu Mouth, which makes people have to sigh at the uncanny workmanship of nature. Aoyu Mouth is a whole piece of natural rock, which is hundreds of millions of years old. Upon closer inspection, the texture of the rock is clear, and it seems to be full of life. Maybe it really has life, but it is different from our time dimension.

By Big Bag |

The view from Aoyu Peak is broad, making people stay for a long time and not want to leave. You can see Lianhua Peak.

By zc666 |

The strange rocks of Aoyu Peak require full imagination, such as a giant fish carrying a golden tortoise and a tortoise and a hare racing, which can't help but admire the uncanny workmanship of nature. Walk down the 800 lotus stone steps from Aoyu Cave, spiraling straight down to the bottom of the mountain, surrounded by dangers.

By Xiqige |

On the way from Yuping Scenic Area to Guangmingding, we passed Aoyu Peak, a mountain with a flat top. It was shrouded in fog on the day we went there, so we didn’t get to see the full view, which was a bit regrettable.

By Gao |

So, is this the place? It seems that I heard the tour guide explain it when I passed by here.

By New Wai Tsai |

There is nothing special. Only when you look at it from Guangmingding can you see a mountain in the shape of a fish and a turtle.

By 67 |

There is not much to see on the mountain itself. You need to take a detour to see the giant panda eating snails. The sea of clouds under the surrounding mountains is like a fairyland.

By Watching the clouds roll in and out |

We moved forward along the way, following the guide's instructions, and the scene of "lobster eating snail" was lifelike.

Looking at Aoyu Peak from Guangmingding, the "Aoyu carrying a turtle" and the "turtle" laying a string of "bastard eggs" behind it are very realistic.

By White Tiger Snow Fury |

Huangshan is absolutely beautiful, and Aoyu Peak left a deep impression on me. Compared with the crowds of tourists who go to Guangmingding to watch the sunrise and sunset, Aoyu Peak is much quieter, and the scenery is open and magnificent. It is even better when you see the sea of clouds.

By The Wind in the Quiet Valley |

Aoyu Peak is one of the most pictographic peaks in Huangshan. Standing in front of the Xuanwu Gate of the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, you can see a majestic giant aoyu pouncing on three snails in front of you. After reaching the top, you can clearly see the turtle on the back of the aoyu.

By Xiao Pingzi |

I accidentally came across a place to watch the sunset. It is said that the best place to watch the sunset is Guangmingding, but there are too many people there. I prefer to wait for the sunset on the platform of Aoyufeng and take pictures of the sea of clouds.

By Chen Hongwei |

The natural work of the sea turtle dragging a golden turtle, and the sea turtle in the opposite direction eats snails. It is amazing to admire the wonders of creation. The steep road to the sky and the sea turtle. From the top of the peak, you can see the West Sea, the East Sea, and Guangmingding, with unique scenery.

The round and long whale body and the huge and high whale head are vivid; the whale mouth is wide open, as if it is swallowing something. There are several stones in front of the peak, which look like snails from a distance, forming wonders such as "Aoyu eating snails" and "Old Ao laying eggs".

By Z |

If you look closely, it really looks like a turtle, especially the turtle head is very interesting, hahahahahaha. In fact, if you are worried that you can't get a good position at Guangmingding to watch the sunrise, you can come here to watch, which is also very good.

By Eating rice rolls is free |

After coming down the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, you will face Aoyu Peak. It is really tiring, but it is a mountain worth conquering!

By HuangW101 |

On the way to the Ziguang Pavilion cable car from Guangmingding. The height is not high, there are not many stairs. There is a big rock, which is suitable for climbing and shooting. You can take pictures around the top of Aoyu Peak. The scenery is good.

By Rose in the wind |

Aoyu Peak is beautiful and must be recommended. Looking at it from Guangmingding, it looks like a turtle. The view of the sky and sea from the top of Aoyu Peak is extremely beautiful. Looking at Aoyu Peak from the bottom of the Thin Line of Sky is a completely different scene. The sight of Aoyu eating snails really looks like a painting.

By The transformation of the butterfly |

The only way from Guangmingding to the Welcoming Pine is very vivid when viewed from a distance.

By Happy Ranger |

The Aoyu is of course a legendary animal, but in fact, the shape of this peak is very similar to a "sperm whale". As long as you choose the best viewing angle in the "Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder" area, an extremely huge whale will appear in front of us. The round, long and tall whale body and the huge and tall whale head are vivid; the whale mouth is wide open, as if it is swallowing. As long as you watch it in person, you will definitely sigh at the wonders of nature. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "absolutely beautiful" and "amazing". It can even be said that it cannot be described in words or words.

Aoyu Peak is a must-pass place between the front and back mountains of Huangshan Mountain, and is also one of the must-see attractions for tourists.

Huangshan was originally named "Yishan" because of its dark blue peaks and rocks and its dark blue appearance. Later, it was renamed "Huangshan" because of the legend that Emperor Huangdi once made elixirs here. The representative landscapes of Huangshan are "four wonders and three waterfalls". The four wonders are strange pines, strange rocks, sea of clouds, and hot springs; the three waterfalls are the human-shaped waterfall, the Baizhang Spring, and the Nine Dragon Waterfall. The Welcoming Pine of Huangshan is a symbol of the warmth and friendliness of the Anhui people, and carries the oriental etiquette culture that embraces the world.

I am embarrassed to say I have been there! The weather was particularly bad that day. I walked along the way. To put it nicely, it was a cool breeze, but to put it bluntly, it was a gust of wind! When the fog around me became thicker and thicker, it became sweeter and sweeter. I have seen you there! In the end, I didn’t even know what the fish under my feet was called. What a pity.gif!
