Huangshan with our guide April. If you want to hear more just facts about places. She adds her unique perspective....What fun
Our guide was April. She was exceptional. She shared so much knowledge about herbs..nature..and Chinese traditional medicine. She has a great respect for nature and has great knowledge about the region. We visited the ancient city of Hongcun and then went up the yellow mountain. The home of the inspiration behind Chinese mountain landscapes. What a magical journey we had! more

Outstanding and memorable journey in the Yellow Mountains
Our guided trip with China Highlights to HuangShan and the Yellow Mountains was just outstanding and memorable. April Yao is a radiant person who took care of us like a cousine, passionately guided us in the Chinese and local culture, always answered our curiosity and smoothly adapted the journey to our wishes. Thanks to our driver, Mr John, who was caring and cheerful too. These 3 days couldn’t have been better, we didn’t visited China, we just lived it ! more

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
Your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in downtown Chengdu and drive you to Mt. Balang to see its flower oceans (in spring and summer) or fall hues or snow-covered landscape (in winter). We reach Siguniang Town about 2 hours after the visit.
For adapting to the altitude, we've planned a short hike in Changping Valley to warm up and relax on day 2. Of course, the acclimatization exercise is totally adjustable to suit you.
The real challenge starts on day 3. We hike to the basecamp from Siguniang Town. The altitude increases from 3,200 to 4,400 meters (10,500 to 14,400 feet), and the 12-km (8-mile) hike takes about 6 hours.
On the final day, we start hiking at about 4am in order to be on the top at around 7am to appreciate the sunrise there. The hiking distance is around 3.5 km (2.2 mi), and the ascent is from 4,400 to 5,025 meters (14,400 to 16,486 feet).
We'll finish the tour by driving you to back Chengdu.
