Want to go to Huangshan Tour two weeks ago, is catching up with Shanghai Pacific Department Store, 10 anniversary, in the NIKKO counter to purchase some of the equipment (to play over 300 discount for each purchase and then return to 60), bought 45 liters and 23 liters of a backpack (large Give me, small to LP). Trekking Pole 2 (130cm), with the kind of slippery nails, sleeping bags, a (useless on), wind pants, etc., and also bought a pair of special shoes high to help climbers. Most of the equipment in the Huang Shan Deng when they were using.
Equipment: In addition to the above-mentioned equipment, but also with: warm kettle one, ordinary kettle one, compass, stainless steel lunch boxes, Swiss Army knife, headlights and a flashlight (required), raincoat. Warm down jacket, clothing, hats, gloves, underwear, etc., as well as replacement, digital camera, tripod and spare batteries, as well as the hood, polarizer (which is different from I did not take, regret). Band-Aid (when wrestling with: O)
We did not buy any food in the mountains, and anything else. Back to his or her own, the two men consumed a total of two days: two boxes of instant noodles, a few blocks of chocolate, generation of sliced bread, sliced ham, two cans of potato chips, hard tack generation, coffee, Liang Hu, mineral water, about 2 liters, Coca-Cola a few cans of beer, multi-vitamin tablets. If you are ready to own all of the supplies back up the mountain, it is strongly recommended from behind the mountains.
If you want to travel with the group, then three days in advance booking. As my journey has not been defined, do not know if you can get off until Wednesday (the day before departure) before start planning. Therefore, a small pine Ctrip found a way online to help mountain hotel I booked (Pai Yun Lou), and the Tunxi - Huangshan round-trip transportation. Take this opportunity to thank him for that.
Thursday night, the first day of sitting K818 times starting from Shanghai, arriving around Friday 8:00 Tunxi more. Before their departure, and pine small way set the trip, so it was them to stay at the station, arranged to the Pakistani port soup (in fact, we can also be found in the vicinity of the station there are many, but some of them to stay low to the train station to those soliciting who tangled trouble). Pakistan Driving Status can also be, but do not open the window in winter, someone casually smoking, and the most disgusting way to go is to a person sitting in front of us kept inside the vehicle to spit (from the frequency to the number of all I have never seen before), from Tunxi to tangkou about 1 more than an hour into the pine hotel break, a brief introduction by the waiter after the riding tour minibus on the road Huangshan, travel expenses as follows: train ticket (hard-berth under the shop); 175 / person, Tunxi to tangkou 10 yuan / person, soup Koudao ropeway is 10 yuan / person. Tourist Map on the train to buy, and 2 yuan.
Huangshan off-season ticket is 85 yuan / person + 1 million insurance. Cableway ticket is 56 yuan / person. In the foot of the mountain we have not done a thing (listening to other people's misleading), that is, does not buy a pair of spikes, although the mountains are sold, but to save money or not to buy. Turned out to be wrong. I heard that Tom was ten-dollar pair of shoes I do not know is not true.
We are very fortunate to time, continuous rain and snow the next few days, but we go to Huangshan just clear up the day. We are from the mountain (cloud valley cableway) on the mountain, cloud valley cableway can seat a few dozen people per car (in fact, standing) We gather together, to halfway up the mountain you can see the upper half of a snow-white peaks. In the blue of the sky background is very beautiful, a few speak Cantonese with the car constantly amazed and struck tourists, "wow .... What a nice ah !!!!", I also wonder a few thin lesbians could have been given such a resonant sound. Of course, be so deeply moved by the beautiful scenery.
Take the ropeway up the mountain quickly to the Baie Ling, I Baie Ling spent about 10 minutes or so pictures. Baie Ling station direction is southwest of the most beautiful scenery, because there is no hood with the morning's photo shoot will be halo. I believe the afternoon will be more beautiful scenery. From Baie Ling all the way to the northeast, as is the off-season are not over the weekend, coupled with the snow came up a few days, so very beautiful scenery along the way, all my photographs, almost no other tourists. Earthly Branches can be very laid-back good tripod for location shooting. Stop-go through the black tiger loose, even before they arrive at a reasonable letter loose peak. Usually 15 minutes, the road that we dawdle about 25-30 minutes. As the snow and ice before the letter could not board the peak. However, there are platforms to rest photographed hillside, where the characteristics of Huangshan came out, and I stayed there for about 10 minutes, initially mountain fog, and only in front of stalagmites peak is clear, but the fog on the loose after a few minutes, and behind the peaks are apparent. Before and after photographs are completely different. We also spent about 5 minutes crawled under the stalagmite peak. Where the snow almost no one came. To the peak you can look back to the beginning letter of stalagmite peak. Backtrack before the letter peaks. The platform at rest and eat the first meal of the mountains (hot coffee, sandwiches, cola, chocolate).
After the rest of the mountain to the west along the snow that no one went to San Hua Jeongsa before, there is an observation deck can see a dream pen and penholder feng flower. Dream is said to spend pen hygiene of artificial pine trees do, however, will depend on the weather in the snow with no success. But you can see a rock take on the scaffolding. God knows how to climb to go. To go any further is the Beihai Hotel. To the North Sea hotels can also be a rest and to make the first one I encountered smoke point, as well as Bank of China and the police station. There is a fork to the right leads to cooler units, boulder concept of the sea and Lion Peak. Halfway There Millennium Bell (2 yuan / below), the same mountain, on the whole in addition to our two people other than just run into a few porters. Play to the view of the sea when the boulder is soon 2:00 pm, and in order to arrive Pai Yun Lou (Small mountain range has been set for us is good, two standard rooms) Zaiqu scenic dream. We did not go to Lion Peak. Backtrack after the North Sea to the west through the hotel to reach the West Sea Hotel Pai Yun Lou Hotel.
As the road along the way are relatively flat (as opposed to day terms), so the heavy equipment and supplies, and did not bring too much trouble. This is why a strong recommendation from the back hill hill reasons. In the hotel lobby check in later (in addition to pre-paid accommodation outside the foot of the mountain have to pay a deposit of 300 yuan to the front, but the check-out will be returned to you), take a break into the room. Bath room with hot water can be (said to be 24 hours, but 5:00 the next morning after getting up did not release water, and does not know the time is too short, or simply turned off). Can be put down useless baggage, bring camera, tripod, head lamp, flashlight, if all the way over too much sweating can be replaced with dry underwear, remember to wear some warm clothes. Re-start time is less than 3 pm.
5-minute walk west out of hotel you can come to Pai Yunting to Pai Yunting time away from the sunset is still relatively early (sunset time is about 17:10 or so), but there have been many people waiting for look at the sunset. This is the first day we have seen apart from most people outside the rope one. There are about 20 a few bar. Pai Yunting under the mist-shrouded canyon. LOFTY the setting sun. We Paiyun Ting a brief stopover on continuing westward toward scenic dream. Unfortunately, the fantastic scenic area closed in winter. Walked halfway there an iron highway. However, the left side of the scenery along the way is still very beautiful. After every 50 meters will have a different view. Many here have been icing on the stone stairs, because they do not care, but also for a pair of regular hiking boots, but also did not buy spikes. A fall on mountain road, the left is the abyss and a good nervous.
As the Dream scenic closed, and we then decided to look at sunset on the Danxia peak. Dream to come back from the scenic Iron Gates are forks in the road halfway up the mountain through the Pacific until the cableway station Danxia Danxia peak, on the Danxia peak summit was preceded by a fork in the road, here we are to the southeast (by hand) and forks in the road to go, after a large stone (looks like there is no road, but down is a stone bridge), this piece of stone should be a very beautiful place to see sunset, but it is very regrettable that the following is Danxia Taiping Cableway station platform, the whole landscape to the destroyed. So we stayed at the Peak is only a moment, then through a forest to the South Danxia peak. Originally intended to return before sunset, sunset to see the Pai Yunting. But on the way met a few Mix. They had originally intended on the Danxia peak. After I gave up after persuasion and told me that they have found a platform halfway up the mountain (a few pieces of large stone) can see the sunset. That platform above the north-east of Pai Yun Lou. Pai Yun Lou to the southwest you can see the roof of the south-east you can see the West Sea Hotel and the West Sea reservoirs. Reservoir above is guangming ding. That one is the white pine forests, where pine has been showing the green of the snow. The west is the setting sun a red Xiaguang. We are here to hang around until the sun sets. Here my camera had recorded the first day of the nearly 200 pictures of the beautiful.
After the sunset about 20 minutes downhill can still see the road. Down from the platform is used about 10 minutes or so can go back to Pai Yun Lou Hotel. Hotel room has a heater, although the right to increase the indoor temperature does not play any role, but is used to dry sweat clothes during the day was great. There are electric kettle can boil some water for instant noodles, making coffee, beer, dried food to deal with on a dinner meal. After dinner while watching TV, finishing a good luggage, and all the battery fully charged. After a bath to bed early to prepare the next day to watch the sunrise on the guangming ding. The hotel has a full bar and massage service. But in order to save money do not have experience. Come on he could not write anything.
Next
Guangming ding on the sunrise time (December 13) is about at around 6:50. We get up at 5:00, grooming exhausted 5:20 left the room, after checking out from Sheung is 5; 30 after the. Warm clothing, head lamp, flashlight, walking stick (spikes??) Are very useful. All the way mountain road, and we come out relatively late, so little to stay. On the road will pass through flying stones. However, due to not stop taking pictures too dark. (After the line will not go through here, can not but say some regret). After a long days flying stone had been daybreak. Ice is very slippery snow on the road with care, come to carry light is already about 6:40. (Pai Yun Lou - guangming ding trip may be more than 1 hours, mainly depends on physical and road conditions) guangming ding the best position at this time has been full of tourists, photographers, and may be due to bad weather a few days ago, have Cou On this day see the sunrise. Here the South met a friend already living in Huangshan 4 days. Just wait for a good weather, really good admire the old chap. Guangming ding on the cleaners have recognized him. At about 6:53 the sun come out on time. About 10 minutes to drill into the clouds in the above went. In this short 10-minute period of time I shot about 30 photos. As the location not very good. Therefore, the effect of film in general. The end, only pick 3-4 Zhang good. Wanted to make a good photo tripod is essential. After the clouds hide the sun through the clouds, shot down on the 10000 Jian Jin is indeed spectacular. I get up so early is also a worthy and more than an hour a catch.
Guangming ding Hill crowd like a snowman, as less than 5 minutes after sunrise almost entirely disappeared. Most of those who were with the tour groups come. Leaving only a few photographers still shoot after sunrise and the beauty. I spent half an hour at the Peak. The mountain wind blowing my sweat clothes are very uncomfortable, but can see such scenery live up I work so hard once again. In sheltered places the prepared drinking hot coffee on down the mountain, about 20 minutes to walk days hotel and the sea the sea the pavilion. Here go west about two hours to reach the buxianqiao. However, due to time constraints, the same time to give up because of slippery ice and snow.
Further south, you can board the Great Turtle back. Then the sky filled with clouds, the mountains looked exposed to the East sea of clouds. As ink landscape in general. The Great Turtle's back the same high mountain winds. But the scenery spectacular. Along the way back down the Great Turtle without a break, from the left to go to the mountainside at the world through the line. There are two options, one is directly from the front-line world, straight about 100 meters straight up and down the mountain is very narrow. There are several stairs still frozen. Another one is from the right side of the mountain road down the mountain, the time will be relatively longer but better way to go. After the rest down to the mountainside. At this time is about 8:30, the hill past the first group of tourists have come arrived here any more. Because it is already Saturday, so relatively more visitors, no first day of leisure. In the mountainside, I heard a tour guide and tourists to introduce from the thin strip of sky only need 2 minutes .... Gosh, I was down, even the rolling thin strip of sky not just a two-minute bar.
In the sky now the clouds have been dispersed and the blue sky once again demonstrated in front of me, look back to the blue sky of the Great Turtle's back down as just heavenly feeling. Unconsciously they murdered dozens of photographs. Scaling ladder to board the hundred paces Lotus Pavilion Lotus Peak mountainside. Here come across a large number of former mountain mountain visitors. Lotus Pavilion I break the sun and stayed for about 30 minutes. Tour groups to see hastily passed 4-5. Not help lamenting the leisurely self-tour. The weather that day was not very suitable for photography. But the sun can still be a strong visibility. Contrast is too high. There is no mountain clouds, the lack of layering. Only a very comfortable under the warm sunlight. If the Lotus pavilion there is a bar or a tea can be a daze, then the sun the better.
Starting from the Lotus Pavilion, there are two options, one directly under the station to see Yuping welcoming pine, so that would be very easy. Another is the Golden Lotus Peak Huangshan peak. We chose the latter one, but also the physical exertion Huangshan tour in the largest and most dangerous section. Is not difficult to walk on the mountain. About 1 hour you can not board the peak. Peak is very small, 20 a few people have very crowded. The scene was still more general. However, photographs taken along the way came back to see is still very beautiful. Can see the Heavenly Capital Peak, carry light and so on all the hills in all directions. Pine Mountain on the way different forms should also be shot down and a careful watch. Down the need for more than 2 hours, due to slippery ice and snow we have spent more than three hours. Take this section of the road far the most regret that I did not buy spikes reasons. There are several had坐在台阶上climb down. Fortunately, not many tourists along the way climbing. When the tourist season is really inconceivable how the kind of a situation. There are many places where only one can be a human being. And very low. I am 1.85 meters tall with a heavy backpack, there are several that lie on the ground adopted by the pain. In the Mid-met a few tourists wandering. Finally they came across them down to the Yu-ping, saying it was given up mountain climbing.
From the Lotus Peak and put it directly into the Yuping cableway station to sit down, of course, before that there is the final one of this trip attraction, but also the most famous Huangshan an attraction - welcoming pine (but in my opinion is the most boring one of the attractions). Full of tourists all over the welcoming pine before the pictures taken. Welcoming pine seems to have been overwhelmed. The trees take the support of the shelves, and cable. No one can see the natural landscape orientation. However, the welcoming song to the Huangshan Mountain is not there can not be justified before the pictures taken. So, I also ...
From Yuping cableway to reach the foot is already at 3 pm more. The drivers have already sent us up the hill waiting for us in the following. Back to the soup and small way I chatted for a while, I showed him the results of these two days back to Tunxi city of Pakistan on the catch. To a small range recommended restaurant (the Magic Gourd) dinner (from the train station tricycles 3 yuan of money.). Two people to eat dumplings a cage, a mold Pork dishes, a bowl of noodles, a bowl of fish ball soup, a plate of beef (specifically, what is forgotten is called), a bottle of beer, spent 30 yuan. Is a snack bar, price tag. Taste okay. Two blocks away from the streets. After dinner to the streets to go a bit. Nothing more than selling tea, buy ink-stone place. Nothing to buy. Street intersection first floor is a restaurant, from the window looking into a good environment. Is said to be the most style hotel here. However, it seems very expensive Jesus. Way back in the supermarket to buy a little something to eat on the train. 3 yuan tricycle back railway station. Secondary to ride the next morning K820 arrived in Shanghai Railway Station. Way back on the train in the United States and the United States slept.
This trip we both consumption; round-trip ticket 175 * 2 * 2 = 700 yuan, Huangshan tickets 86 * 2 = 172 yuan, the railway station - soup to travel to 10 * 2 * 2 = 40 yuan, Tang mouth - cableway back and forth 10 * 2 * 2 = 40 yuan, hotel 370 yuan (Pai Yun Lou 2 standard rooms, excluding breakfast), cable 56 * 2 * 2 = 224 yuan. Tunxi Dinner 30 yuan, tricycle 6 yuan. A total of 1542 yuan. Less than about 800 yuan per person. All other supplies and equipment were brought from Shanghai. If other aspects in order to save again if only from the train (ride hard seat), hotels (6 earth about 60-80 / person) above the province. Because I have considered, as well as more than human strength to save the inconvenience so it is not two provinces.
This is because there are several places do not open or the lack of time did not go, so I am prepared to Zaiqu Huangshan scenic spots when you visit the following:
1. Heavenly Capital Peak has been closed for years. Heard that we should re-opened in 2004.
2. Fantastic area, close off the mountains in winter. Will open later next year in March.
3. Hibiscus Ridge and the nearby scenic spots. Taiping ropeway from the past.
4. Several other nearby scenic area of Huangshan, such as jadeite valley and so on.
Go to Huangshan also need to note that most parts of the mountains is not smoking. Of course, impossible to inspect all areas of security, we must see ourselves conscious of. Hotels in the mountains in front of the general will have a smoking area. There is also a very good Huangshan on health, almost every section of the road there will be La Jichi (stones enclosed). Also continue to have cleaners come to clean. But that she also needs strict requirements. Do not throw garbage anywhere. Best to carry back to the foot of the mountain, or stay in a hotel. I saw a group with the group of tourists littering anywhere and is just 10 meters away from La Jichi place.
The Huangshan tour, whether the weather or the trips went very smoothly. Huangshan in winter is low season, and we have to stagger the weekend, starting Saturday back to Thursday. Hard Sleeper inside of our rooms on the two of us. Than the soft sleeper is also empty. Rest very well. Encountered in the guangming ding on a friend who lived in the South is 6 human, but have only a few days, he lived alone. Knew I would be six human, and can also save a lot of money. This is my first visit to Huangshan, I would like to go next time when the tourists have to pick a time when less. Self-tour. Of course, to bring greater capacity CF card.
