My friend who just came back from China told me it is not a good idea to stay at International Hotel in Huangshan city for 4 nights because the cable car usual has long lines which would take 4 hours to go up and down the mountain. Please let me know it this it true.

Mr.pATRIC replied:

Nowadays, the cable car to Huangshan Mountain has been improved and there is almost no need to stand in a line when you take it. Therefore, the time is also getting much shorter to take the cable car to go up and down the mountain, even less than an hour.

Does a visit to Mt Huashan require a lot of walking and climbing as I'll be traveling with an elderly person who enjoys scenery.

Ms.Sally replied:

You can take the cable car up to the mountain, thus it is not very demanding on physical strength. After you get off the cable car, you will take the electrical car to the sightseeing place with about 10 minutes’ walk, please make preparation for this.

Mt. Huangshan shows its beauty in different ways in every season. The snowy view of Mt. Huangshan is very famous. But hiking in winter is not suggested since it is not safe. It’s better to take the cable cars.

Huangshan City - ancient village ChengKan - She County - Huangshan City

Near Huangshan City, besides HongCun and Xidi, there are still some small villages away from commercializing but with convenient transportation. They are Chengkan and She county.

Take bus from Tunxi City to Huizhou district at the cost of CNY4.00 per person, then change to bus No. 2 to North City Station, known as Yansi, connect another bus to Chengkan at CNY4.00 per person. If you do not want to be bothered with changing buses, you can charter a taxi there at the cost of CNY80.00. Taxi is suggested since you also will travel to She county. To avoid the inconvenience in finding buses in Chengkan, we suggest you discuss with the driver about the taxi fee for a whole day's travel.

Chengkan village in Huizhou District, Anhui province is famous for the residential architecture of the Ming and Qing style with 1800 years' history including more than 130 old buildings of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, 22 cultural relics under national preservation. It is an unparalleled old hamlet of Ming Dynasty in China's history. It was built by the Luo's brothers at the end of Tang Dynasty to evade the chaos caused by war. They found that this place had very good geomantic omen, so they chose this place to build their new house and lived here by generations.

Baolun Hall in the Ancestral Temple of Luo's, is a representative collection of typical architecture of Huizhou. It was well-designed and constructed with extreme delicacy. Through the first entrance, visitors reach "Tianjing" - a square dooryard. Lots of rooms with classic elegance line along both sides. Then, a great hall together with four vermilion pillars, comes to your eyes. After a yard, you will enter the main hall - Baolun Hall.

The design of this timber frame hall is delicate and unique. Numerous travelers were attracted here to see the exquisite engravings of flowers and geometric pattern on the bluestone parapets and creative colored paintings on the beams, lintels and doorframe. Decades of vicissitude did not fade out the bright color. On the second floor, visitors can have a perspective of the Huangshan Mountain through the finely engraved casements.

It takes about 3 hours to visit Chengkan. You can taste the local Hui cuisine for lunch, after this short break, take taxi to She county, 30 minutes driving is needed. Where has many well -preserved courtyards, gardens, pagodas and bridges, most of them were built during Ming and Qing Dynasties, some were constructed as early as Song Dynasty. In particular, experts regard the ancient residential houses, ancestral temples and memorial archways as "the three wonders of ancient architecture". During your limited duration, we suggest the most representative one for you- the Tangyue archways, which consists of the Bao family archery, Bao family garden and Bao family ancestral temple.

Archway is one of the ways to keep records of one person's outstanding contribution or story for the whole life. It can be seen at many places in China. An'Hui province's archways exceed other places in quantity. After visit, you will find the natural treasure and cultural heritage are integrative and reflecting with each other.

Back to Huangshan city in the afternoon, if you still have enough time, the most economical way is to take bus to Huangshan long-distance bus station, then change bus No. 9 to Huangshan railway station, which is very near to your hotel. Bus or taxi back to your hotel are both fine.
