Huangshan Travel Reviews

Our guide was April. She was exceptional. She shared so much knowledge about herbs..nature..and Chinese traditional medicine. She has a great respect for nature and has great knowledge about the region. We visited the ancient city of Hongcun and then went up the yellow mountain. The home of the inspiration behind Chinese mountain landscapes. What a magical journey we had!

Our guided trip with China Highlights to HuangShan and the Yellow Mountains was just outstanding and memorable. April Yao is a radiant person who took care of us like a cousine, passionately guided us in the Chinese and local culture, always answered our curiosity and smoothly adapted the journey to our wishes. Thanks to our driver, Mr John, who was caring and cheerful too. These 3 days couldn’t have been better, we didn’t visited China, we just lived it !

Had the best time visiting Hongcun village, Yellow Mountains and Tunxi village! Tony was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. I felt safe and well taken care of as a solo female traveler with not knowing any Chinese.

We had a great time. April with China Highlights is an amazing guide! She has a lot of energy and is very passionate about making sure you have a great experience.

We were pleased to have Tony leading us the mountain tour of Huangshan and Qiyun mountain. He is knowledgeable, experienced and have good mannerisms. We enjoyed the cultural and historical stories he shared, and he could communicate bilingually while we could practice our Mandarin too. Flying in from the US, this private tour eased us into the tourist visit of China. We liked the Tunxi Ancient Street evening walks too, we enjoyed the shops of traditional arts and crafts, teas, candies, and even a centuries-old TCM pharmacy still in operation. Hongcun Village was interesting. Unfortunately, our tour coincided partly with the Ching Ming public holiday in China, there were many local tourists and foreign semi-retired folks like us should try to avoid such dates as possible. For overseas Chinese and foreigners, we recommend Tony as he can share more if one is interested in Chinese history especially local history and culture as well.

I and my wife have a great time with Tony.Luckily for us, these few days weather were great. Tony take care of us going up and down Huangshan, and we got to see the best sunset.Thanks for the good times

My husband and I had the best time in Huangshan with our guide, Tony. We were very lucky that the weather was clear when we were on the mountain because the views we had were incomparable! Tony also told us the best spot to experience sunrise on the mountain which was absolutely magical and 100% worth the hour of hiking in the dark. Tony was also an extremely kind and knowledgeable guide with so much insight, not only of the mountain, but also the local people and the surrounding area. He ensured that we had the best time and were safe at all time, especially when taking on the more challenging climb. We only managed to stay here for 2 nights but will definitely return for a longer stay and explore the rest of the hiking trail we didn't manage to explore this time around!

We got amazing views to the mountains and our guide Tony helped us get many spectacular views including the sunset by tailoring our itinerary as per the local conditions. I will recommend Tony as he has deep understanding of the area and is very friendly! Special thanks to Liberman for helping create the itinerary!

Great day trip with Philip. He has great knowledge of local history and culture. He is very professional and helpful to make the trip unforgettable.

I had a wonderful time in huangshan ! and our guide tony was great ,he take care of us carefully and full of patients!he helps us take many nice photos! And thank you very much,make our whole trip smoothly!

Enjoyed the sights but also the people and experiences available in Huangshan.The China Highlight guide was an incredible person who was knowledgeable, warm, welcoming and sharing many interesting insights about life in China and helping to immerse oneself in this expansive country and its friendly and hard working people:

Our guide Jack.Fan had such infectious enthusiasm for the area, we finished on a high point. Our visit to Hongcun, the village of Langqiao with it's covered bridge and our stay in top of Huangshan Mountain was so enjoyable, even with the very misty weather. Jack managed to take us to the areas of the mountain where the views opened up through the clouds and mist before disappearing. Definitely needed more time there.

What made the trip even better was having Tony as my guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the history of Huangshan but also about the best routes to take. Tony made sure the hike was challenging but manageable, and he was always patient and encouraging, especially when the stairs became tough. His insights into the mountain’s natural beauty and cultural significance were truly valuable.Tony also took care of all the practical details, like making sure I had time to rest and even recommending the best spot to catch the sunrise after a long day of hiking.

Wir haben eine dreiw?chige China-Reise im August 2024 unternommen, perfekt organisiert durch China Highlights - Unterkünfte, Verpflegung, Transfers, Programm waren exzellent. In der Huángshān Gegend hat unser hervorragender Guide Alvin sehr zum Gelingen der Reise beigetragen - er war kenntnisreich, stets freundlich, und hat am Huangshang-Berg weniger überlaufene Routen gefunden, so dass wir eine perfekte Zeit verbracht haben.

Tony was our guide for three days and he was great too! We are a family of 8 spanning three generations so we have varying walking/climbing speeds, but Tony was so patient with us! His knowledge, kindness, and enthusiasm really made the trip special. We will always have great memories of this trip, and Leeky and Tony are a big part of that!

Our guide Tony was accommodating and gave us some time and space to do our packing. Tony is very experienced and knowledgeable. Thankfully, our timing was just right as we learnt that Wednesdays are usually packed with local crowds, something we witnessed on the day we left Huangshan for Hongcun and Tunxi. Tony showed us around both villages well. Our family enjoyed Huangshan!

China Highlights (CH, for short) helped us and did a great job arranging everything, from trains to pick ups and drop offs, to selecting the right hotels and recommending the best local restaurants. We were driven everywhere, so we wasted no time figuring out what to do to go from point A to point B. So we visited Huangshan, and CH arranged for our guide to be Tony, who we can certainly recommend as an excellent guide. We were picked up at the train station and driven to a left luggage facility first. Then, we went up the mountain with just a backpack for the one night we’d stay there. Tony guided literally every step of the way (which was necessary because the trails up the mountain can be confusing) from the cable car station to the Xihai hotel. Along the way. We stopped multiple times to admire the sheer beauty of Huangshan. It’s unbelievable!. After check in he hung out with us and explained many things about the mountain.

Alvin is an energetic and enthusiastic guide who a lot of patience with our walking in the mountains. Although the walk can be challenging, the landscape and views are worth it. Very serene atmosphere. Alvin went out of his way to accommodate our schedule to our interests.

Tony Li 李先海 is an excellent tour guide and is very experienced. We had an amazing time at Huangshan. Tony is very organised, knowledgeable, caring and friendly. He made our trip very enjoyable. Thank you very much. I would highly recommend him.

Tony (Li/Lee) is an excellent tour guide and is very experienced. He knows all the walking routes around Huangshan very well, which is extremely useful as there are so many!

Our China Highlights guide, Tony, was fantastic; he was knowledgeable, accommodating, patient, and flexible with any changes or requests that we made.

Have engaged local guide Tony (using China Highlight) to bring us ard for 6 days. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, passionate! And he went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and wants!

Absolutely stunning at every turn. Our guide, Jack showed us wonderfully beautiful spots where few visitors go. He knew all the best spots and went out of his way to ensure our stay exceeded our expectations. The arranged hotel was very good too. Well done!

The Local Guide Tony was knowledgeable and he gave lots of information about the province and towns. He was patient to us especially I have slight difficulty in walking. He was capable and managed to bring us around Huang Shan to see all the different peaks and other sights even though the weather was not ideal on the first day.Overall, we enjoyed our 4 days 3 nights trip.

We had the most fantastic experience with our tour guide, Jack Fan, who is very knowledgeable about the Yellow Mountain and was able to get us quickly to the most stunning highlights. He was our "photographer" anytime we wanted a photo and that was very often. We made the most of our time having him guiding us. He was truly the mountain man as he is a local there. He is very passionate about what he does. He loves history, nature, and travel, which is a must for a guide. He provided historical facts about the stunning Ancient villages at Hong Cun and Xidi. He answered any questions we had about history, nature, and current things we had. I felt like he was a professor, and we were his students in a very good way. He was NEVER late, and neither was our driver. They never bought us anywhere to "sell" us things. He took us to buy tea only when we asked to buy a specific tea, staying much later than he should have! I wanted to check out lotus and rice fields, which was not on the itinerary, but he squeezed it in for us. We were very well taken care of. I highly recommend Jack for a tour guide who speaks English.
