Add this experience to your wishlist Huangshan

See more Mountains. See best of East in China.


Perhaps China’s most celebrated beauty spot, the granite spires of Huangshan, decorated with graceful bonsai-like pines, form the template for many a classical Chinese landscape painting. Take a cable car up the massif and allow several days to explore on foot. In summer you won’t be alone, as this is a must-see for Chinese tourists. Thrill-seekers will enjoy some of the hair-raising “trails” that consist of creaky wooden planks arrayed along vast rock walls.
