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 personal guide and driver will meet you at the railway station in Wuyishan. You will be transferred to the South Gate of Wuyishan Scenic Area for sightseeing in the afternoon. Beautiful mountain paths and Yixiantian ("One Line Sky" or "A Thread of Sky") are recommended. (Yixiantian is not for travelers who suffer from claustrophobia, we could skip that if needed)
Being a sacred place for tea lovers, Wuyishan has become world famous for decades. Day 2 is a full day devoted to visiting two famous local tea attractions, so that you can have a better understanding of the local tea culture and taste the most authentic flavors of Wuyishan tea, which cannot be experienced any other way.
Put on a lifejacket and embark on bamboo rafting on Jiuquxi — the most picturesque stream in Wuyishan. Don't worry about having to stand up: you'll be seated on a laid-back rattan chair attached to the raft, from which you can leisurely enjoy the rich natural surroundings.
We'll finish the tour by driving you to Wuyishan North Railway Station for your bullet train back home.
