On arrival, your Huangshan local guide meets you at the exit of the Huangshan train station or the airport, holding a sign that reads Huangshan Private Tour. A private transfer takes you to your hotel in Huangshan downtown (Tunxi), where you check in. The rest of the day is free to relax or get around on your own. Tickets for reaching Huangshan and meals on this day are not included.
Your guide takes you into the Huangshan Scenic Area today. The day runs roughly like this: drive to the scenic area, take the cable car up to Jade Screen Scenic Area, walk to the Greeting-Guests Pine, climb Lotus Peak, cross Xihai Grand Canyon, and finish at Cloud-dispelling Pavilion before checking in at a hotel on the summit.
Your guide collects you from your hotel in Tunxi after breakfast in the early morning and drives you to the Huangshan Scenic Area, about an hour away. The guide confirms the exact pickup time with you the day before.
At the mountain you take the park bus from the foot to Ciguangge (Mercy Light Pavilion), then the cable car up to Jade Screen Scenic Area. A short walk brings you to the Greeting-Guests Pine, the signature tree of Huangshan and one of the symbols of Anhui Province. From here the views reach across to Celestial Capital Peak.
Continue on foot for about an hour to Lotus Peak, the highest summit of Huangshan at 1,864.8 meters. Bridges, plank roads, and viewing platforms make it a good place for photography. Stop here for around an hour, and lunch is served at a mountaintop restaurant.
After lunch, walk for about an hour to Xihai Grand Canyon, also called White Cloud Canyon. Because of the high altitude, clouds drift along the ridges below your feet. The canyon runs about 15 kilometers, and you have time to take photographs along the way. If the weather is clear, watch the sunset from Cloud-dispelling Pavilion.
In the late afternoon, move to your hotel on the summit, where your guide helps you check in for the night.
Summit hotels, for reference, include Huangshan Shilin Hotel, Beihai Hotel, and Xihai Hotel.
Here is the plan for today: watch the sunrise if conditions allow, visit Bright Summit and Flying-over Rock, take the cable car down the mountain, travel to Hongcun Village for lunch and sightseeing, stop at Mukeng Bamboo Forest, and return to Tunxi.
Huangshan sunrise is worth an early start. Your guide will tell you the day before whether conditions look good, since the view depends on the weather. Watching the sunrise is a recommended option, not a fixed part of the day.
After breakfast, visit Bright Summit, the second-highest point on the mountain, and see Flying-over Rock, one of the well-known natural formations of Huangshan.
Take the cable car back down, then drive to Hongcun Village. Before the visit, your guide stops at a local restaurant for a simple lunch and shows you how to order from the menu.
Hongcun was founded in the Song Dynasty (960-1276) and is one of the first twelve listed historical and cultural villages in China. UNESCO added it to the World Cultural Heritage List on November 30, 2000. People often call it a village in a painting, and art students still come to sketch here. The layout follows traditional Chinese geomancy and the natural ground, and the village keeps more than 140 Huizhou-style houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Scenes from the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon were shot in Hongcun.
From Hongcun it is about a ten-minute drive to Mukeng Bamboo Forest, where dense bamboo groves are the main attraction. This area also appears in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It is a quiet place for a walk and fresh mountain air.
After the tour, return to your hotel in Huangshan (Tunxi).
There is no direct high-speed train or flight between Huangshan and Zhangjiajie, so the route transfers through another city. Based on our experience, Shanghai is the most convenient connection, and this day combines a train and a domestic flight.
Check out of your hotel in the morning, and your driver takes you to Huangshan railway station for the train to Shanghai; the guide confirms the pickup time the day before. On arrival in Shanghai, your Shanghai driver and guide meet you and bring you to Pudong International Airport for the flight to Zhangjiajie, where you spend the night. Breakfast and lunch today are included.
After breakfast, visit Tianzi Mountain. A cable car lifts you to the top, where the sandstone pillars of West Sea Stone Forest and the line of Yubi Peaks rise steeply in front of you. The clustered stone columns of this quartz-sandstone area are the signature view of Zhangjiajie.
After lunch, continue to the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, a natural viewing platform set against giant rock pillars that climb out of deep valleys and ringed by taller peaks. One of these columns, Nantian Yizhu, is often called Avatar Mountain because it shaped the floating peaks in the film Avatar. Breakfast and lunch today are included.
In the evening you are driven back to your hotel in Zhangjiajie.
After breakfast, head to Huangshi Village, one of the great viewing platforms of Zhangjiajie. An elevator carries you to the summit, where a series of lookout points look out over the sandstone peaks. On a clear day you can see close to half of them. A local saying holds that a trip to Zhangjiajie is not complete without Huangshi Village.
Take the cable car back down, then spend the afternoon on a two-hour walk through Golden Whip Stream Canyon, a valley of tall rock walls and clear water that many people rate the most scenic walk in Zhangjiajie. Breakfast and lunch today are included.
After the tour, your driver takes you to the Zhangjiajie train station or the airport for your onward journey.
Huangshi Village is a mountaintop viewing platform in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. An elevator takes you to the top, where lookout points look across the sandstone peaks. It is one of the best places in the park for photography.
The elevator up to Huangshi Village and the cable car down are done as part of the Day 6 itinerary, and your guide arranges them for the group.
The walk through Golden Whip Stream Canyon takes about two hours along a level path beside the stream. The trail is easy underfoot, though it can be slippery after rain.
The tour ends with a private transfer to the Zhangjiajie train station or the Zhangjiajie airport, whichever matches your onward ticket. Tell us your train or flight time in advance so the driver plans the drop-off.
Wear walking shoes and bring water, sun protection, and a light layer. The summit viewpoints can be cooler and windier than the valley, and the weather around Zhangjiajie changes quickly.
Breakfast and lunch are included on the last day. After your transfer to the station or airport, your own arrangements begin and the tour service ends.
