Highlights:
Mount Huangshan is famous for its long history. "You would not want to visit mountains after visiting the Five Sacred Mountains, and you would not want to visit the Five Sacred Mountains after visiting Huangshan." Xu Xiake, a great traveler and geographer of the Ming Dynasty, twice ascended Huangshan to witness its magnificence, exclaiming it as "a wonder in life." Dramatic Pines, grotesque rocks, sea of clouds, and hot springs are known as the “Four Musts” of Huangshan. They are the uncanny workmanship of nature and cannot be missed. In addition, the haze, snow scene, and sunrise are unique landscapes of Huangshan. Each landscape has its unique beauty and makes you feel like you are in a fairyland.

Highlights:
Chengkan is located 31 kilometers north of Tunxi District, Huangshan. Its layout is in accordance with yin, yang and 8 diagrams. The scenery is not inferior to Hong Village, but not its reputation. But if you prefer less crowd, it is the place for you. There are many 3-story buildings from the Ming Dynasty that were described as “high-rises” at that time, as well as rare buildings dating back to the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
