Huangshan in a day: cable car up, the West Sea canyon and the pine peaks
10 hoursPrivate transportationPrivate tour for 1–4 peopleHuangshan, East ChinaStrenuous (10–14 km, many stairs)
Up the Yungu cable car, across the North Sea to the Beginning-to-Believe Peak, down into the West Sea Grand Canyon on its cliff walkways, and out past the Welcoming Pine. If the cloud sea is in, we stop and watch it. A full day on stone stairs; worth every one.

Questions about this tour
Should we stay on the mountain?
For sunrise, yes: my two-day version sleeps at a summit hotel. The one-day version is for people who want the peaks without the 4 a.m. alarm.
