The ticket price is around CNY 20, and the journey takes about 1 hr 20 mins. 🏠 Accommodation 1. At the foot of Huangshan: We recommend staying in Tangkou Town, where there are many hotels and guesthouses with reasonable prices. It's convenient for entering the mountain early the next morning, and there are many places to eat and buy hiking supplies nearby. 2. On the mountain: If you want to see the sunrise and sunset, you can choose to stay on the mountain. Baiyun Hotel is in a good location, making it convenient to watch the sunrise from Guangming Peak. Paiyunlou Hotel is close to many scenic spots, making it convenient to visit the West Sea Grand Canyon. However, accommodation on the mountain is more expensive, so it is recommended to book in advance. 🎫 Tickets and Itinerary Huangshan tickets cost CNY 190 and can be purchased in advance on the official Huangshan Tourism platform. ✅ One-Day Itinerary (Up the front mountain, down the back mountain) Ciguang Pavilion (take the Yiping Cable Car up the mountain) > Yiping Tower (see the Welcoming Pine) > Lotus Peak (the highest peak in Huangshan, open on a rotating basis) > Hundred Steps Cloud Ladder > One-Line Sky > Aoyu Peak > Guangming Peak (the second highest peak in Huangshan, a great spot to watch the sunset) > Flying-Over Rock > Monkey Watching the Sea > Beginning-to-Believe Peak > Yunggu Cable Car down the mountain ✅ Two-Day Itinerary Day 1: Yunggu Temple (take the Yunggu Cable Car up the mountain) > Beginning-to-Believe Peak > Monkey Watching the Sea > Lion Peak > Danxia Peak (watch the sunset) > Paiyunlou Hotel Day 2: Paiyun Pavilion > West Sea Grand Canyon (you can take the monorail cable car) > Tianhai > Guangming Peak (watch the sunrise) > Aoyu Peak > Yiping Tower > Welcoming Pine (take the Yiping Cable Car down the mountain) 🍱 Food 1.

It's super satisfying with every bite, and you can buy it both inside and outside the scenic area. 2. Smelly Mandarin Fish: Smells stinky but tastes delicious. The fish is tender and has a unique flavor after being marinated. Many restaurants in Huangshan serve authentic smelly mandarin fish. 3. Hairy Tofu: Covered with a layer of white fuzz, it is pan-fried and served with a special sauce. It has a rich taste and a unique flavor. 4. ❣️ Food Streets: Liyang in Alley, Tunxi Old Street. We recommend Huangshan double treasures (rock partridge and rock tripe) and Wenzheng Mountain bamboo shoots. ❗ Important Notes 1. Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a day with good weather for hiking to enjoy the best scenery. 2. Prepare hiking gear, such as comfortable sneakers, hiking poles, a backpack, and a raincoat. The weather on the mountain is changeable, so a raincoat is essential. 3.
