Hello, it’s me, Zi.
Autumn is here, the perfect season for hiking!
This time I’ve put together a two-day one-night hiking route in Huangshan,
where you can climb slowly without rushing!
You can check off various🔥 popular scenic spots in one trip,
enjoy the canyon and 🌄, with comfort💯!
⭐ Two-day one-night route:
DAY 1️⃣: South Gate → Yuping Cableway up the mountain → Welcoming Pine → Bright Summit → Flying-over Rock → Paiyun Pavilion → West Sea Grand Canyon Loop 1 → West Sea Grand Canyon Shuttle Train → Summit of Peaks to watch the sunset → Accommodation
DAY 2️⃣: Watch the sunrise at Bright Summit → Rest → Monkey Watching the Sea → Dream Pen Blossoms → Shixin Peak → Yungu Cableway → South Gate
💕 This route not only lets you see more Huangshan scenic spots in one go but also enjoy the starry sky, sunrise, and sunset. It’s a slow pace with plenty of time to rest!
💕 Many people recommend entering from the back mountain and exiting from the front mountain. But if you stay for 2 days, you can choose to visit the back mountain on the second morning when the scenery is more beautiful and there are fewer people.
🌸 About West Sea Grand Canyon
Many people skip this on a one-day hiking route. But it’s really, really beautiful here! Especially Loop 1, it’s endless for photography! There are many beautiful views. If time allows, you can do both Loop 1 and Loop 2, then take the shuttle train up to Bright Summit after descending.
If you’re a hiking enthusiast, you can also choose to hike up the mountain!
⭐ Tips for your trip:
1️⃣. Tickets require advance reservation, remember to book early!
2️⃣. Accommodation is recommended near Bright Summit for convenience and to watch the sunrise and sunset.
3️⃣. It’s advisable to bring hiking poles for easier trekking. Also pack some snacks and water, as buying on the mountain is more expensive.
