3-Day Tour to Huangshan, Anhui + Hongcun
Huangshan
- After visiting the Five Great Mountains, no other mountains are worth seeing; after visiting Huangshan, the Five Great Mountains pale in comparison!
- Huangshan has four distinct seasons – the sea of flowers in spring, the cool respite of summer, the maple leaves in autumn, and the snowy scenery of winter, all are full of surprises!
- Stroll through Hongcun, a southern Anhui village nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and admire the unique horse-head walls and blue brick houses!
- Until December 31, 2025, visitors aged 65 and over enjoy free admission to the scenic area; overseas (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) tourists enjoy a 50% discount on scenic area tickets!

The Welcoming Pine of Huangshan, an iconic landmark, symbolizes the warmth and hospitality of the people of Anhui, embodying the Eastern etiquette of embracing the world.
The summit of Bright Top is flat and open, covering an area of approximately 60,000 square meters. It offers a wide field of vision, making it an excellent location for watching the sunrise and sunset, and viewing the sea of clouds.
The Hundred Steps Cloud Ladder is a steep orange path carved into the stone wall, consisting of over a hundred steps. Viewed from the opposite Aoyu (Turtle Fish) Cave, the steps overlook a deep abyss, resembling a long ladder leaning against the cliff fac
Huangshan's representative landscapes include the "Five Wonders and Three Waterfalls." The Five Wonders are: oddly-shaped pines, grotesque rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs, and winter snow. The Three Waterfalls are: Renzi Waterfall, Baizhang Spring, and
"A Painting Come to Life" - Hongcun, where the beauty of lakes and mountains harmoniously blends with layered buildings, and natural landscapes complement cultural connotations, is a remarkable wonder of the world's historical and cultural heritage today.
Here, there are 103 well-preserved ancient Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, and 34 Republic of China buildings.

Review for: Chinese-speaking tour guide
The tour guide on that day in Huangshan was very nice. He took good care of us and reminded us to be safe during free activities. It was really a pure play tour. We didn't shop during the whole trip and didn't take us to places with hidden costs. The whole process was very pleasant and the itinerary planning was also reasonable. Huangshan + Hongcun was relatively relaxing and enjoyable. The bus was also very stable, and we could catch up on sleep directly on the bus.

Review for: Chinese-speaking tour guide
The travel experience was very good. The tour guide was enthusiastic and cheerful, and the arrangements were well made. When climbing the mountain, he could take good care of the guests in batches. He was very considerate. Every time we arrived at a scenic spot with good scenery, he took the initiative to help take pictures for everyone, and also took pictures of us separately. The hotel and the meal were good!
