The
Attraction of the Yellow Mountain
After seeing the scenery on the top, many
western tourists gave it a high praise,
“This is the best mountainous scenery on
the earth”. Pines on the granite peaks,
with light mist half shrouding peak waist
now and then, forms the most beautiful landscape
in China. The mountain’s topography has
greatly influenced the style of the Chinese
painting for the recent 100 years. Every
year more than two hundred thousands of
overseas tourists came to hike the Mountain
and were deeply impressed by its beauty.
The following is the suggested tour route
for your reference when you have a chance
to the National Park.
Usually tourists start their mountain tour
from Huangshan City, that is to say you
should arrive at the local one day ahead
or early in the morning by train. The coach
journey your real destination is about one
hour and half and you will reach the cable
terminal at bottom around 10 in the morning.
Your guide or chauffeur will show you to
the cable car VIP channel and my staff will
reserve your board time one day before so
you won't wait long, where you could buy
entrance and cable car service fee respectively,
or just leave that to your guide or chauffeur
who knows how to handle such trifles.
It only takes you 10 minutes to get onto
the top from the bottom. The cable compartment
can carry 50 passengers for each load. Assuming
you depart your hotel at downtown at 8 in
the morning, you might stand on the top
around 10. Then you walk 20 minutes down
steps and you will arrive your Beihai Hotel,
4 star with buffet breakfast.
There are several hotels and shops on the
top, even a clinic and a small bank opposite
your hotel so you needn’t bring too much
necessities to the top. Why we strongly
suggest Beihai Hotel ro Shilin Hotel ( both
are 4 starred one) as your accommodations
on the top?
Beihai Hotel has the best position on the
top, with the most beautiful sceneries around
it, while the location of West Sea Hotel
is lower, which means you have to climb
200 steps to the reach the altitude of Beihai
Hotel. It is not convenient for you, especially
those aged or
couples with kids to walk about half hour
to watch the sunrise early in the morning.
The best spots to watch the sunrise are
just around Beihai or Shilin Hotel, which
are only 10 minutes’ walk.
You have two thick cotton jackets in your
room for you to watch sunrise early in the
morning. I strongly suggest that you bring
with you only one night's necessities and
leave all behind at foot of the mountain.
On the top you will pass the following scenic
spots: Begin-believe Peak, Lion Peak, Bright
Top, and Huge Rock Fallen afar, Cloud-dispelling
Pavilion. All these scenic spots are connected
by flagstone-paved paths and you just walk
on steps and do not have a feeling of mountain-climbing.
Remember all the scenic spots are easy to
be reached from Beihai Hotel within one
hour’s walk. And you can easily cover all
the spots with one daytime hiking on the
top.
We have bilingual direction-signs wherever
you go, and you won’t get lost even if you
are alone on the top. As many Chinese young
people can speak English, you will feel
quite at home both inside the hotel and
out on the scenic spots.
When you feel your eyes have been feasted
with the natural scenes, you can get down
and to have a tour over some ancient villages
just on the way back to the downtown.
First let’s learn something about the local
history and culture.
