Best Mountain in China!
My husband and I had the best time in Huangshan with our guide, Tony. We were very lucky that the weather was clear when we were on the mountain because the views we had were incomparable! Tony also told us the best spot to experience sunrise on the mountain which was absolutely magical and 100% worth the hour of hiking in the dark. Tony was also an extremely kind and knowledgeable guide with so much insight, not only of the mountain, but also the local people and the surrounding area. He ensured that we had the best time and were safe at all time, especially when taking on the more challenging climb. We only managed to stay here for 2 nights but will definitely return for a longer stay and explore the rest of the hiking trail we didn't manage to explore this time around! more

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
Your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in downtown Chengdu and drive you to Mt. Balang to see its flower oceans (in spring and summer) or fall hues or snow-covered landscape (in winter). We reach Siguniang Town about 2 hours after the visit.
For adapting to the altitude, we've planned a short hike in Changping Valley to warm up and relax on day 2. Of course, the acclimatization exercise is totally adjustable to suit you.
The real challenge starts on day 3. We hike to the basecamp from Siguniang Town. The altitude increases from 3,200 to 4,400 meters (10,500 to 14,400 feet), and the 12-km (8-mile) hike takes about 6 hours.
On the final day, we start hiking at about 4am in order to be on the top at around 7am to appreciate the sunrise there. The hiking distance is around 3.5 km (2.2 mi), and the ascent is from 4,400 to 5,025 meters (14,400 to 16,486 feet).
We'll finish the tour by driving you to back Chengdu.
