Probably the main reason why people come to Tunxi is because of its most famous mountain, Mount Huang or Huangshan 黄山。 Huangshan is arguably one of the most well known mountains in China. It is famed for its beauty such that it is said that once you have climbed Huangshan, you don’t need to climb any other mountains. Indeed for the impoverished province of Anhui 安徽, Huangshan has been their life saver as it has generated millions in revenues from tourism.
I inquired about going to Huangshan, and it turns out that it would be easier, I don’t know if it is cheaper, to book with hostel. The bus would come and pick visitors up at the hostel, so there is no problem of how to go there. Transportation back to Tunxi will be up to you. A few of the guests in my hostel already signed with the package and they will be going with me the next day. I have heard a lot about Huangshan and I am certainly looking forward to climbing it.
