Please note: THIS TOUR IS DESIGNED FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 PERSONS!
Huangshan, or Yellow Mountain, is one of China's most famous scenic spots. Eulogized by poets and painters, the beauty of Huanghsan's soaring peaks and elegant pines has attracted travelers for centuries. Tucked away in the foothills of the mountain are villages with over 800 years' history, each possessing some of the most beautiful, living examples of Ming or Qing architecture in the world. This short trip allows you to take a scenic hike on a legendary mountain, followed by an excursion to the surrounding countryside - an area known as Huizhou - famous for its classical Chinese landscape and where the Oscar-winning movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed.
This delightful five-day trip offers the best of eastern China's natural wonders and cultural heritage. We will explore old villages retaining much of Ming and Qing architectural wonders followed by a short hike in Huangshan, the mystical peaks immortalized by Chinese painters. We will then make an excursion to Wuyuan in northern Jiangxi province where we will explore this relatively untouristed area.
