Huangshan


Bright Summit Peak
The Bright Summit Peak, the second highest peak of Huangshan, is the best place for watching the sunrise and the clouds sea.
At an elevation of 1,840 meters, the Bright Summit Peak is the second highest peak of Huangshan. Located in the central part of the mountain, it is the best place for watching the sunrise and the clouds sea. As saying, not coming to the Bright Summit Peak, you can not see the real scenery of Huangshan. At Ming Dynasty, a monk named Pumen built the Dabei temple which is the weather station of Huagshan now.    Standing in the peak, you will get the integrated sight of the Heavenly Capital Peak, Lotus Flower Peaks, the Crucian Ridge and the Jade Screen and so on.

Clue: if you want to see the sunrise, we suggest you to lodge around the Beihai hotel. To ask for the sunrise time of next day and destine the morning call time after you check in. It will take you an one hours from Baihai hotel to the Peak.

 

Chimera Scenic Area
The chimera scenic area is also called West Sea Canyon. It is famous for its singularity and beauty.

It is also called West Sea Canyon. After several years hard working it is build among group peaks under the Danxia Station. The first part of the project is finished, people can walk along the road to visit the scenery from the mountain side.

One feature of this scenic area is that all of the sceneries concentrate together and it is famous for its singularity and beauty. Here, the mountains are different from the others and are not as precipitous as the others. They are piled up with many huge stones which are full of breakage as if they will collapse at any time. Actually, they are very firm just like the Tai Mountain.

Another feature here is quite. Staying in this quite environment, you can calm your mind and visit every scenery carefully. Here is a pine forest. Many kinds of pines can be found here, all of them are in different shapes, some small some big some standing singly some getting together.

Clue: all best sceneries of this scenic area are in the West sea and the part between the crossing and the end of the canyon. So it is not necessary to go through the whole scenic area.

Lotus Flower Peaks
With a height of 1,864 meters, Lotus Peak is the highest peak of the Yellow Mountains.

With a height of 1,864 meters, Lotus Peak is the highest peak of the Yellow Mountains. It is embraced by small hills, resembling the lotus, hence the name. A one and half kilometer long winding path links Lotus Ridge and the apex of lotus Peak. One needs to cross four caves on the way up before reaching the apex. Pines in the shape of flying dragons and double dragons as well as the Yellow Mountain Azalea are found on the peak. Standing together in the central part of the Yellow Mountains, the magnificent lotus Peak, Brightness Summit Peak and the Celestial Capital Peak unfold in all their majesty.

Going down the same route northwards, one passes turtle-shaped and snake-shaped rocks and reaches the One Hundred Step Cloud Stairs. Here, a scene of a rock resembling an old monk watching the sea under the opposite Rongcheng Peak is seen. Getting off the stairs and crossing the Lotus Cave and Huge Turtle Cave, one comes to the Heavenly Sea. To the left of the site of Central Sea Pavilion stands Stone Column Peak, and to the right is the Phoenix Pine. Going up for a while along the stone stairway, one can then look back at the famous rock sight known as Huge Turtle Carrying a Golden Turtle on Its Back. Further up in the right direction there stands Alchemy Peak and the 1,840.9 meter high Brightness Apex, the second tallest peak of the Yellow Mountains. With Brightness Apex towering above the clouds, one commands a majestic view of a sea of ridges, peaks and gullies below.

Taking the west route or north route from Brightness Apex,visitors may tour the West Sea or North Sea, two famous scenic areas of the Yellow Mountains, and stay at the West Sea Hotel or North Sea Guesthouse.
