Travel Notes | Anhui Trip ⑧ Huangshan One-Day Tour Route Suitable for Frail Tourists

This article is the eighth in the series of travel notes [Seven Days and Seven Nights Free Travel in Anhui].

Cost: 19 yuan for the uphill bus ticket + 190 yuan for the main ticket + 80 yuan for the uphill cable car to Yungu Temple + 90 yuan for the downhill cable car to Yuping Station + 19 yuan for the downhill bus ticket, a total of 398 yuan.

We went to Huangshan on April 15th. It was not a holiday or weekend, and there were quite a lot of tour groups. We had to queue up to take photos at attractions such as Lotus Peak and Yingke Pine. You can imagine how lively the May Day Festival will be!

Elderly people (young and middle-aged people) who feel weak and do not exercise often can refer to the route I took and basically visit the key attractions.

Depart from the hotel at 7:30 (the hotel has a car that will be delivered to the transfer center) - bus up the mountain - 8:30 Yungu Cableway goes up the mountain - Mushroom Pavilion - 9:05 Harp Pine - Shixin Peak - Black Tiger Pine - Beihai Hotel - Guanshi Pavilion - 11:20 Guangmingding (it's almost noon when you get here, there are a lot of people having lunch, you can consider having lunch at the scenic spots before and after, it is easier to find a location) - Baiyun Hotel (Tianhai) —— Haixin Pavilion —— Turtle Fish Peak —— Turtle Fish Cave —— 13:40 Hundred-step Ladder —— Lotus Pavilion (there is also food sold here) —— 15:10 Welcome Pine —— 15:50 Yuping Cableway goes down the mountain ——The bus goes down the mountain at 16:10.

Our one-day trip to Huangshan was specially arranged on the penultimate day of the 7-day itinerary. We were afraid that we would not be able to continue traveling well after climbing Huangshan.

In this route, I almost rested for a while when I arrived at the scenic spots. In addition to taking a break for more than half an hour for lunch at Guangmingding, I also took a break of more than 20 minutes at each of the other two scenic spots.

So overall I won’t be very tired, and my legs won’t be affected that day, as well as on the second and third days.

It’s best to check the weather before planning your trip. If it’s rainy or sunny, you won’t be able to see the sea of ​​clouds.

The sea of ​​clouds in Huangshan Mountain is truly unique

We saw the sea of ​​clouds when we went there in the morning, but in the afternoon it became foggy, and it was so white that almost nothing could be seen.

Be sure to book a day in advance! Otherwise you won’t be allowed in!

It is recommended to buy tickets directly on the WeChat applet "Huangshan Tourism Official Platform" (except for down-mountain bus tickets, all can be purchased directly online). After quietly comparing, the prices on various group buying websites are the same.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that for people like me, hiking poles are a must, and they must be kept well and don’t be taken away by others - this is a painful lesson for me

You can also buy a pair of cheap white gloves at the foot of the mountain. In some places, you need to hold on to railings or stones to walk.
