Day 1 Shanghai → Tunxi
All day
Meet at 12:00 noon at the bottom of Mingshen Center Building, No. 3131 Kaixuan Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, sign in, and board the bus at 12:30 on time. The staff will introduce you to the tour and you will have fun all the way. Arrive in Tunxi around dusk and check in to the hotel.
In the evening, everyone can form groups to have a meal together. At night, you can move around freely. It is recommended to stroll around the old street at night, which has a unique flavor.
Day 2 Tunxi → Tangkou Town → Huangshan
All day
After breakfast, we packed our bags at 7:30 AM and departed Tunxi City promptly. The journey took approximately 45 minutes to the south gate of Huangshan Scenic Area.
We then took the scenic shuttle bus to Huangshan Scenic Area, with the option of walking or taking the Yungu Cable Car at our own expense. From there, we began our Huangshan tour: Baie Ridge, Shixin Peak (famous for its cluster of unique pines like the Black Tiger, Lianli, Tanhai, and Dragon Claw pines, known for their beauty), Eighteen Arhats Facing the South Sea, Qingliang Terrace, Mengbi Shenghua, Monkey Watching the Sea, Shizi Peak, and Beihai Scenic Area. We also visited Xihai Scenic Area, Paiyun Pavilion, and Xianren Drying Boots, admiring Huangshan's breathtaking snow-capped scenery and rime waterfalls.
In the evening, we settled in Huangshan for dinner.
I'm sure everyone will be energized and enjoying some socializing! Haha!!!
Day 3 Huangshan → Shanghai
All day
The diligent can wake up early at 5:00 AM to witness the breathtaking sunrise over Huangshan, while the lazy ones can sleep in. After breakfast, pack up and continue your journey. Admire Huangshan's unique rock formation, the Flying Stone. Hike to Guangmingding, Tianhai, and Aoyu Peak. Navigate the narrow and steep One-Line Sky Trail, stroll along the Eight Hundred Lotus Steps, and admire Huangshan's highest peak, Lotus Peak (1,864 meters; Lotus Peak is closed in winter due to safety concerns). Then, visit Yuping Tower, Huangshan's most scenic spot, to admire the world-famous Welcoming Pine and take as many photos as you like. Visit Wenshu Terrace, the Reclining Buddha of Yuping, and pass by Tiandu Peak, the "Heavenly Metropolis."
After leaving Farewell Pine, descend the mountain on foot or by Yuping Cable Car at your own expense. Restock on rations along the way. At the foot of the mountain, enjoy a final meal together! All expenses paid!
At 12:30 PM, board the bus back to Shanghai.
This joyful journey concludes. Arriving at the Shanghai departure point around 8:00 PM, everyone is reluctant to leave and share a tearful goodbye!
