Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive in Huangshan City

Upon arrival in Huangshan City, your guide and driver will greet you and transfer you to the pre-booked hotel for check-in. Take your time strolling the area, exploring the local culture, sampling delicacies or tea, investigating the local crafts, maybe having calligraphy prepared to order. Should you choose to have dinner here, your guide will be happy to recommend some highly rated local restaurants.

Meals included: None

Day 2 – Mount Huangshan

After a big breadfast at the hotel, you’ll drive the one hour distance to Mount Huangshan, one of the most significant peaks in China. On arrival board Yungu cable car and ride a full ten minutes to the top. Along the way, enjoy the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful view that takes in the surrounding mountains. Once you reach the top you’ll set out on a relaxed hike to Begin-to-Believe Peak, one of the numerous small peacks that make up the Huangshan mountain range. It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in the surrounds and absorb the breathtaking views from key points of note, including Black Tiger Pine and Flower Blooming on a Brush Tip.

Be fortified by a buffet lunch served at the hotel on the mountain. Hiking then continues to West Sea Grand Canyon, the most challenging as well as the most beautiful section. Carefully descend the steep cliff, while admiring truly incredible landscapes of peaks towering through clouds. Almost four hours is needed for a round trip of the area covering three essential parts: 1st ring; 2nd ring; and bottom of the canyon. Following a hike back to the hotel, you’ll enjoy a buffet dinner and an overnight stay.

Meals included: Buffet Lunch & Dinner

Note: It is essential that travelers carry water with them. As stairs are steep and narrow all the way, this trip is best suited to those in good health with sturdy knees. Alternatively there is a monorail that may be taken part of the way.

Note:

Please be aware, you will have an overnight stay on the mountain as part of today’s itinerary arrangements. It is recommended to travel light by taking just some carry-on items when hiking, including a waterproof jacket. Your guide will help you with storage of heavy luggage. In addition, for environmental protection hotels, on the mountain will not provide disposable toiletries, so please carry your own.

Day 3 – Mount Huangshan - Hongcun Village

Early morning offers a unique opportunity to see the magical sunrise from Mount Huangshan. After breakfast, continue your exploration, stopping Flying over Rock and Bright Summit. Your guide will share famous local stories and legends as you marvel at the idyllic background: an continually changing sea of clouds and panoramic vista of forest, valley and peaks. Hike back for the return trip down the mountain on the Yungu cable car.

Further indulge your appreciation of the natural environment, especially when blended aesthetically, Hui-style, with the 900 year old built environment of Hongcun Village. Layout and architecture dates from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Note the artistry in the beautiful wood carvings adorning buildings as you soak up picturesque rural scenery featured in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Enjoy being driven to Bishan Village where you’ll stay at Pig’s Inn, an authentic traditional guest house tucked in a Qing Dynasty courtyard. Here bikes can be hired to explore the tranquil environment and idyllic surroundings.

Meals included: Breakfast

Note:

If staying at the Beihai Hotel, sunrise can be viewed at Lion Peak, while Purple Cloud Peak offers the best view point near Xihai Hotel. Please note, the hotel staff will advise the weather forecast and probability of seeing the sunrise the next day.

Day 4 – Hongcun Village - Nanping Village – Xiuning – Huangshan City

Following breakfast travel to Nanping Village where you’ll have the opportunity to meet and connect with a local family on a farm visit. Learn about local life, assisting the farmer by picking fresh vegetables, preparing a home cooked lunch, and immersing yourelf in the rural lifestyle. Farewell your family and then travel to Xiuning, where you’ll experience the traditional art of tofu making in a workshop located in Wanan Old Street. A staple of Chinese cuisine and culture, learning this ancient technique provides an opportunity to experience real Huizhou culture. From Xiuning return to Huangshan City for check in at the hotel. Relax for the evening and reflect on your day.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch

Note: Arrangements can also be made for attendance at a bamboo weaving class in Nanping Village. Please ask your guide if you are interested. Note that an additional charge will apply.

Tunxi Old Street offers a glimpse into the ways traditional Chinese commerce and life has merged with a more contemporary spin on things. Have a try to make the Huizhou style incense pendant with Chinese herbals at a local workshop and keep it as your beautiful Huangshan memory. As a final stop on the tour, you will be transferred to the airport or train station for your next destination.

Tripadvisor score 100% fabulous experience

June 2025 • Family

The trip with China Tours was 100% fabulous. Everything about it was exactly as described. The tour guides were all wonderful, the hotels, and transfers (two bullet trains, two domestic flights) were amazing, everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great first trip to China. We did the 13 Days China Wonders & Pandas tour in June 2025. The balance was perfect between sightseeing with the guides and having free time to explore this amazing country at each destination. The high quality of the five guides along the way really made the trip. They were wonderful people without exception: professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The team at China Tours did truly great work in arranging everything, down to the last detail. Thank you very much for making this trip a really great experience!

June 2025 • Couples

This is a fantastic tour. The tour guides are amazing- so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The experience of visiting the historic sites has been made far richer than it would’ve been on our own. We have left China with a greater understanding of Chinese history, culture and its people.

Tripadvisor score A Magical Experience

May 2025 • Couples

From the moment we were met at Beijing airport , until our last day in Shanghai , the service and attention to detail by the guides and drivers, was second to none! We opted for the ten day tour, to take advantage of the Chinese government 240 hour visa free TRANSIT permit , which was easily granted on arrival! ( arrival STARTS at midnight after you arrive! ) The vehicles and hotels were of the absolute best quality , and the whole trip was a joy! As every attraction has to be booked in advance , I certainly would not contemplate trying to organise such a trip independently ; and don`t even attempt to DRIVE in China!! At each stop , the knowledgeable guides would organise everything , and then ten minutes before departure ,would telephone the drivers , who would be waiting for us. Every attraction was well ordered and a real pleasure to visit. The standards of comfort EVERYWHERE were excellent! Thoroughly recommend!
