Huangshan Mountains

The first thing that caught my eye was a sea of clouds, stretching out like a vast ocean. White waves enveloped the mountains, with only the peaks appearing like islands floating above. The tranquility completely made me forget the hustle and bustle of the city. The guide arranged for a round-trip ropeway ride, making it a private, one-on-one tour that was absolutely perfect. I was recommended to take the Xihai Ropeway, and the scenery was truly beautiful. Although the round-trip ticket is a bit pricey at 200 yuan, I highly recommend it.

The excursion was very well organized. It's a shame we booked at full price when we were told, upon arrival at the site, that we were eligible for the senior rate... The different options aren't very clear. It only mentioned that it wasn't accessible for those over 59... which implies we're too old! We'll see how our next bookings go.

Itinerary was not rushed. There will be a guide bringing you up Huangshan. Our guide was fantastic in engaging us and telling us the many stories about the spots we visited. Note that there will be additional 570RMB that have to be paid for meals + cable car rides. Highly recommend
