Mount Huangshan Tour Guide

Real coordinates · smooth curved route
Huangshan has a front (steep, Ciguang Pavilion side) and rear (picturesque, Yungu Temple side). The classic two-day route takes the Yungu cable car up to Bai'e Ridge, Shixin Peak, Beihai, the West Sea Grand Canyon, Bright Summit, Tiandu/Lotus Peak, Yuping Tower and down the front cable car.

  1. Yungu Cable Car
    Start · Entrance
    Take the Yungu cable car from Yungu Temple on the back mountain up to Bai'e Ridge, the start of the "up the back, down the front" route. Why this route: going up the back mountain saves effort; the cable car takes about 10 minutes.
  2. Bai'e Ridge
    about 2720 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Junction
    Shixin Peak is dense with strange pines, and the North Sea area is the back mountain's best scenic spot. Why this route: the core area of the back mountain's pines and rocks.
  3. Shixin Peak
    about 520 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
  4. Beihai Scenic Area
    about 300 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
  5. West Sea Grand Canyon
    about 1770 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Descend via Paiyun Pavilion to the bottom of the West Sea Grand Canyon, walk the First and Second Rings, then take the funicular back to Tianhai and climb Bright Summit; closed in winter. Why this route: the West Sea Grand Canyon is not a loop, so you must take the funicular back.
  6. Bright Summit
    about 1190 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Pass below Lotus Peak (closed on rotation since late 2023, alternating with Heavenly Capital Peak, so you can't visit both) and walk to Yuping Tower and the Guest-Greeting Pine. Why this route: the main downhill path on the front mountain; Yuping Tower is where the Guest-Greeting Pine stands.
  7. Yuping Tower (Welcoming Pine)
    about 1270 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
  8. Tiandu Peak
    about 3200 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Head south from Yuping Tower to climb Heavenly Capital Peak, the front mountain's most perilous peak, reopened in May 2024 and closed in winter; return the same way to Yuping Tower. Why this route: it alternates with Lotus Peak; the climb takes about 1.5 hours.
  9. Yuping Tower (Welcoming Pine)
    about 3200 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
  10. Ciguang Pavilion Cable Car
    about 1670 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Entrance
    Take the Yuping cable car down to Ciguang Pavilion, completing the "up the back, down the front" traverse. Why this route: the front mountain exit; the cable car takes about 10 minutes.
