3-tägige private Huangshan-Tour: Hongcun Village & Übernachtung auf dem Berg Huangshan

This tour was excellent. From the time I arrived on the train to the time I departed, I was in the hands of a pro, my tour guide Christina. Our first stop was Hongcun Village, a picturesque ancient town with a lot of local culture to learn about and experience. Christina helped me sample some of the local food, communicating to the locals about my food allergy. In the evening, I stayed near Tunxi Old Street which was a pleasant place to walk, shop, and have dinner. Days two and three were spent on Yellow Mountain. We had terrible weather! Fog covered the mountain the whole time. Bad luck. If I was rating the mountain it would get less stars ;). My guide kept things pleasant and cheerful, and took pictures for me. She was knowledgeable about the mountain and local culture so at least listening to her was interesting. When I decided to leave the mountain a little early, she was very accommodating and helpful with the trains. If you try it, good luck with the weather, and maybe plan a little flexibility in your schedule and check the weather reports!

Went to Hongcun Village on our first day and learned a lot about the unique architecture of the old buildings. After that, toured around Tunxi Old Street which was a rather pleasant visit due to it being the off-peak season when we were there. The next day we went to Huangshan mountain and learned much about the history of it on the way up the mountain. We also managed to catch the beautiful sunset which is a very rare and delightful experience. Our guide, Vans, brought us to a few parts of the mountain that not many people know about, thus escaping the crowds and giving us the opportunity to take much more beautiful pictures of the scenery as a family. The hotels that we patronised were comfortable and exceeded our expectations. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience with Vans as our tour guide in Huangshan. We hope that we can visit again soon!

A most enjoyable trip! HuangShan is truely magnificent- granite mountain but a different majesty to the Rocky Mountains of North America. The pine trees are truely flat topped, as in traditional Chinese art - not artistic liscense as I imagined! Mukeng Bamboo Forest is where the sword fight scene on top of bamboo was filmed in “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”. Our tireless guide is Louise Zhang. Never stoped for a moment, and is particularly suitable if hiking is your forte!! To top it off, she knows where the good food places are - we are of Chinese ancestry and know our food! Would highly recommend HuangShan if you can only see one mountain in China (we also saw MianShan, EmeiShan, WuTangShan, HengShan in ShanXi province, and JiangJiaJie this trip). Our guide Louise Zhang was a major contributing factor in providing such enjoyment and satisfaction during our too short a stay here.
