Day 2 Huangshan Departure

After breakfast, drive to Huangshan Mountain (1 hour). Upon your arrival, take the cable car to the top of the mountain.

First visit Beginning-to-believe Peak, where you can find many ancient pine trees. The beginning-to-Believe Peak, 1668 meters above the sea level, is the fifteenth of the thirty-six minor peaks of Mount Huangshan. Its fancy name comes from this story. Many years ago someone wandered to this place on his way back from the Cloud Valley Temple and was immediately stunned by its unworldly landscape. He then improvised a couplet: "Inexplicable, unbelievable; admirable, no idea until arrival" The peak has many bizarre-shaped pines. As a saying goes, "One wont see the best of the Mount Huangshan pines until they come to the Begin-to-Believe Peak".

Followed by a tour to The Brush Pen Peak. After lunch, pay a visit to Bright Summit, the second highest on the mountain and see Flying-over Rock and Cloud-dispelling Pavilion.

To the northwest of Brightness Summit lies the famous Rock from the sky, or the Peach of Immortality Rock when it is seen from the Unity Pine. This monolith, 12 meters high, 7.5 meters wide, 1.5-2.5 meters thick and 350 tons in weight, was erected hazardously on a flat-headed cliff, which is 12-15 meters long and 8-10 meters wide at the top. Only nature had the power to do this. So locals have passed down this story: When Nuwa(goddess who patched up the sky and created human beings) smelted the ores to patch up the sky, two were left behind. One turned into the jade that Jia Baoyu (leading character in the classic A Dream of Red Mansions) had in his mouth at birth; and the other became the Rock from the Sky. The opposite Twin Scissors and Twin Bamboo Shoots peaks consititute a marvelous lanscape.

After the tour, take a cable car down the mountain. Transfer to the Huangshan railway station and you return to Shanghai. Your will be escorted to your hotel in Shanghai (based on your requirement) once you arrive in Shanghai.
