Huangshan City is a region with a long history and splendid cultures. Shexian and Yixian Counties were established more than 2,000 years ago. In the Jin Dynasty (265-420) Huangshan City was called Xin'an Shire. Until the Song Dynasty (960-1279) when the name was changed to Huizhou, the city was famed for Hui businessmen, Hui carvings, Xin'an school of painting, Xin'an medicine, Hui architecture, Hui cuisine, and Hui opera (one of the tonalities of Beijing Opera). Also notable are the scenic spots of Yellow Mountain (Mt. Huangshan) - a key point of interest in ancient China, the Tangyue Memorial Archway, the Tunxi Ancient Street and the ancient villages of Yixian County . Historians at home and abroad regard Huangshan City as a natural history and culture museum of China.
Since Huangshan City is a tourist city with a pleasant climate, travel plans need not be interrupted by weather. So the sights of Huangshan City, such as Tunxi Ancient Street, Xidi, and Hongcun Ancient Villages, Tangyue Archways, Flower Mountain and Enigma Caves can be visited throughout the year as can Yellow Mountain with each season offering different appealing features.
Huangshan City transportation is efficient. Upgraded airline, railway, highway and the city transportation expedite tour travel.

Huangshan tea.

Can I store my luggage in the Tangkou Bus Terminal which is located in front of the South Gate (south entrance) of the Huangshan Secnic area? Is there any locker service for me to store my big luggage instead of bring it up to Mt. Huangshan? How much is it per luggage?

Mr.Sandy replied:
Won't you stay one night in Huangshan Mountain? First you should find a hotel and left you lugguage there when you get there, then see the mountain. That is the safe way.

Mr.Jamie replied:
It is the coldest month and the average temperature is only around 5C. On the mountian peaks, it is much below 0 degree. Not advisable to go at that time with the elder people. It snowed there a few days ago and snow make it harder to climb the mountain.
