Perfect spot to watch the sunrise right from your bed 🌅 Day 2: West Sea Grand Canyon · Step into a Painting 📍Paiyun Pavilion: The first rays of sunlight after sunrise shining on the peaks is breathtaking 🌄 📍West Sea Grand Canyon: Recommended to hike the first and second loops; buy a one-way ticket for the popular small train 🚂 📍Flying-Over Rock: Filming location for Dream of the Red Chamber, every snapshot looks like a masterpiece 📸 🍲Dinner: Baiyun Hotel Buffet (128 RMB per person) It’s such a treat to have a hot meal on the mountaintop! Day 3: Welcoming Pine · Perfect Ending 📍Aoyu Peak: Second best spot for sunrise, much fewer people than Bright Summit 🔭 📍Lotus Peak/Tiandu Peak (alternating opening): This year Lotus Peak is open, takes 1.5 hours to reach the summit ⛰️ 📍Welcoming Pine: A must-visit landmark, recommended to arrive before 9 AM to avoid tour groups 🌲 🚡Descent: Yuping Cableway takes 10 minutes straight to Ciguang Pavilion (cableway operates until 16:30, don’t miss the last ride) ⚠️Useful Tips: 1. Hiking poles are a must! 3 RMB each at the foot of the mountain, can be recycled after use ♻️ 2. Self-heating rice is more practical than instant noodles; hot water points are limited on the mountain 🚰 3. Raincoats are more useful than umbrellas; Huangshan’s weather can change anytime 🌦️ 4. Photographers, remember to bring a wide-angle lens; phones can’t capture the full grandeur 📱 🍜Must-Try Foods: ✔ Wang Yitiao Wontons on Tunxi Old Street (featured on A Bite of China) ✔ Stinky Mandarin Fish recommended at Linjiang Yilou (90 RMB per person) ✔ Mao Tofu at Old Street First Building (crispy outside, tender inside, absolutely amazing)
