I've been up most of China's famous mountains, including Taishan, and this one struck me as best. It's also well laid out with cable cars to assist in the climb if you are not physically fit. I went in April before the tourist rush. Weather was perfect and there were no lines to buy tickets or for the lifts. I... More

Was fortunate to have beautiful weather. The lush greeny with the unusual trees growing from out of the numerous mountain peaks were so breathtaking. Love the cable ride up and down the mountain - so smooth and scenic! More

Absolutley beautiful! Well worth a visit, despite the many tourists. We were told that the weekend and the holidays are the worst, so try to visit on weekdays. We were there on sunny day and we have so many stunning photos. The walking is pretty tough as all the walking tracks are steps!! Your calf muscles will be sore the... More

Ten spite the millions of Chinese tourists, the mountain does offer scenic views. The level of intensity to hike the mountain is about 3 out of 5, seeing as you mainly walk steps up and down - there's no real mountaineering involved - only concrete step after step. Avoid going there on public holidays and in the dead heat of... More

The yellow mountains are just amazing ! The hike up is quite hard but worth the pain! Ofcourse u can take the cable car but thats expensive! The entrance is 230¥ but as student u only have to pay 115¥ so just take ur student card and ur passport en 115 ¥ and ull get the ticket if u dont... More

My boyfriend and I planned a ten day trip to China in mid-April that involved Shanghai, Tunxi (aka Huang Shan City), Hangzhou and Shangahai. This review only pertains the Huangshan surrounding area and Huangshan mountain. We choose Huangshan because a friend had lived here and we wanted to see the rural villages of China. When to Go: We learned the... More

Nature is really amazing and the mountain tops of Yellow Mountain in Huangshan, AnHui China will leave one breathless. Amidst the pine, the granite mountains, the peaks speak of grandeur and magnificence. At different times of the day, the colors and shapes of the mountains shifts just like the varying moods of a female. At sunrise, the red, yellow and... More

Worth a day-trip... excellent views from the top. Wear good shoes for walking, as you'll be doing lots of it. You can take a bus from the base up to the area where you get a cable car to the very top. But there is still lots of walking and lots of hills to be negotiated. no hiking boots needed,... More

i was there around a month ago and i really have to thank everyone with your helpful reviews, otherwise i don´t think i could have chosen the route we took. We started the trip arriving to TUNXI which i think was the wisest decision instead of sleeping in Tangkou where there is absolutely NOTHING to do, Tunxi has this really... More
