White Goose Telpher Station
We got off the cable car at White Goose Telpher Station and walk along the White Goose Ridge towards Stalagmite Peak, the first peak on our Huangshan Trip. From the cable car station to the Stalagmite Peak is 0.8 km. It is a pleasant walk teemed with amazing views of pine trees, colourful leaves and various peaks with comfortable temperature under azure sky.

0.2km walk from Stalagmite Peak to Beginning-to-Believe-Peak
This 20-minute walk was a little difficult than that of from the White Goose Telpher Station to Stalagmite Peak. The mountain road was a bit steep. On the way, you can still enjoy the different views of pine trees and unknown peaks.

One of the best photographic places in Mountain Huangshan, a don’t-miss attractions for each Huangshan Mountain tourist. Today we were lucky enough to have seen the sea of cloud below the peak. The view was astounding!

1km Walk from Beginning-to-Believe Peak to A Flower on Brush Tip
After enjoying the fantastic view of Beginning-to-Believe Peak, we walked 1 km towards to another famous attraction – A Flower on the Tip of a Brush Pen. This 1km walk was also quite interesting. Especially you could see some unique pine trees. One of the pine trees is called “Umbrella Pine” named by Secretary of United Nations – Mr.Kofi Anna and his wife Nane Anna when they paid a visit to Huangshan on May 20-21,2006.

The “A Flower on Brush Tip” is one of the 36 small peaks in Huangshan Mountain. The Brush Peak is 1640 in altitue consisting of the Brush Peak and a pine tree on its top.
The peak body is like a shaft of a brush. On its top stands a a pine tree like a booming flower.

Thank you for the very informative information. Useful and interesting as we are playing our trip in October.
Happened to bump into this when I was looking for information on Mount Huangshan. Thanks for sharing this. Simple but really helpful.
Hi..am apheng from indonesia, if my hotel is youpinlou(?) hotel, is it the same route with yours (yungu telpher) should I take it? Thanks.
Hello Apheng,
Two routes up to the mountain
1. East Side Huangshan Mountain ( My route ):
If you choose to visit Huangshan Mountain through its east side, you may have a 3 hours hike from Yungu Cable Car Station to White Goose Ridge Station, a 7.5km clamber or you may take a cable car from Yungu Station up to White Goose Station.
2. West Side Huangshan Mountain (Yupinlou Hotel is close to Yuping Cable Car Station):
If you prefer to hike from the west side of Huangshan Mountain, you may take the cable car from Mercy Light Temple Cable Car Station up to the Yuping Cable Car Station or you may challenge yourself by hiking a 15km route with stunning view.
So you can take the same route as mine and stay overnight at Yubinlou Hotel or you can take the west side and you hotel is close to the cable car station of Yubinlou.
Have a good trip!
