Huangshan
Huangshan

Ascend to the peaks of Yellow Mountain to view a sea of soft clouds stretching out below you. Adorned with pine trees and stone-carved steps dating back more than a thousand years, this mountain is a monument of classic Chinese beauty.

About this Journey

The mist-swathed peaks of Huangshan are an elegant Chinese scroll painting come to life. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, whose name literally means “Yellow Mountain,” has inspired painters and poets throughout the centuries with its timeless beauty. Home to its own variation of pine tree and green tea, Huangshan is famous for its dramatic rocky peaks, sea of clouds, and magical sunrise. On this trip, you’ll get to hike up Huangshan more than once, stopping at various points of interest to enjoy the majestic views that have been immortalized in paintings and poems.

What we love
  • Viewing golden rays spill over white clouds during Huangshan's famous sunrise
  • Hiking through the staggering peaks and deep valleys of Xihai Grand Canyon
  • Standing atop Celestial Capital Peak with all of Huangshan below you
