Atemberaubende Natur
Wir haben im Rahmen einer 3-w?chigen Chinarundreise auch das Huangshan Gebirge besucht, das zum UNESCO Naturkulturerbe z?hlt. Wir waren zwei Tage dort und sind mit unserem Guide Tony von China Highlights gewandert. Das Gebiet ist mit seinen bizarren Felsformationen, den Kieferw?ldern und Wolkenformationen, die st?ndig wechselnd zwischen den Felsen wabern wirklich einzigartig und eine Reise wert.Abends sind wir vom Hotel auf einen ?Peak“ geklettert und haben einen sensationellen Sonnenuntergang erlebt. Es gibt in der Gegend mehrere Berghotels-die Versorgung der Hotels wird immer noch durch Tr?ger sichergestellt, die die schweren Lasten auf ihren Schultern nach oben schleppen. Wenn man das einmal gesehen hat ist man dankbar für das gute Essen, dass man im Hotel bekommt. Also: Daumen hoch- das Ziel lohnt sich auf jeden Fall! more

China Highlights Huangshan
Many years ago I asked my dearest Chinese professor in Australia where was the prettiest place to visit in China, he said "Yellow Mountain"...well we made it there in May this year. And to have also met with and had our amazing guide Suki to look after us and share her beautiful Huangshan with us was a treasured memory never to be forgotten. What a stunning experience, not for the faint hearted in regard to climbing, however there are options which Suki found for us as my knee injuries were not up to excessive steps etc so changes were made to accomodate my capacity. Thank you so much Suki for an exquisite stay. Tunxi Ancient Street, overnight on Yellow Mountain, Xidi Village and Hongcun Village, everything was superb. Robyn and Patrick more

Huangshan - Wanderung Yellow Mountains
Bei unser 3 w?chigen China Reise gab es auch einen Stopp in Huangshan. Unser Reiseleiter hat mit mir und meinem Mann das Hongcun Dorf besucht , wo er uns sehr viel zur Geschichte erz?hlte. Wir haben am Nachmittag eine sehr sch?ne Wanderung zum Westsee Grand-Canyon gemacht und konnten die wundersch?ne Landschaft mit wenigen Leuten genie?en. Tony k?nnen wir nur empfehlen, da er durch sein Wissen, seiner Organisation punktet und mit uns vorab alles besprochen wurde. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. more
