L-R: Chew Leng Soon, Bernard Lee, Tay Seok Hooi, Ching Neng Bin at Mt. Huangshan 黄山.
Day 6 (04.12.2011) Tunxi (Huangshan City) day trip to Mt. Huangshan 黄山
We woke up at 5.15am for our coffee and some buns. As arranged by the hostel, a van picked us up to the railway station to board the bus (Y18 pp) for a one hour journey to Tangkou, which is at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. From here we took the park bus (Y13 pp) for 20 minutes up the mountain to the cable-car station. Here we bought the entrance ticket (Y150 pp) and the one way cable car ticket (Y65 pp). There was a long queue and we waited for about 45 minutes before we could board the cable car. We spent about 3 hours walking around before coming down.

We rested at the hostel and at 7pm had dinner at One Floor Restaurant which was directly in front of our hostel. We had the most famous hairy crab which cost Y25 a crab (in Malaysia is RM25). We later walked to the New Street again for window shopping.

Huangshan Mountain is famous for its spectacular rocky peaks, oddly shaped pines, crystal-clear mountain springs and the sea of clouds.

Huangshan Mountain overstretched pine tree is like a man stretching his arms.
Greeting Guest Pine is the most famous pine in the Huangshan Mountain in all of China. The 10-meter high tree grows like a man standing by the path and stretching out his hand to guests in a greeting gesture.

Spectacular rocky peaks will inspire your imagination on Huangshan Mountain range. Some look like human beings, birds or animals or many other objects. Something that makes the stones even more fascinating is that they assume varied shapes when seen from different angles.
