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.

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

Taking a 1km walk from Beginning-to-Believe Peak（始信峰）to A Flower Blooming on Brush Tip（妙笔生花）
After enjoying the fantastic view of Beginning-to-Believe Peak, you walk 1 km towards to another famous attraction – A Flower on the Tip of a Brush Pen. This 1km walk is 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.

Check in at your hotel - Beihai Hotel 北海饭店
Waking just over 100 meters from the A Flower Blooming on Brush Tip, you get to your hotel on the Huangshan summit. It is a 4 star hotel with over 500 rooms. In front of Beihai Hotel, there is a row of rooms which accomodate Post, China Mobile, Bank and Police Station.

Around 5:30am, after simple washing and putting on the winter jacket available in your room, hurry down and hike about 500 meters up to Dawn Pavilion（曙光亭）by using flashlights, the best point to view the dawn and twilight in Huangshan. If you are lucky, you will catch the first sun light, but the sunrise is blocked the Beginning-to-believe Peak. Maybe that's why it is called "Dawn Pavilion" instead of "Sunrise Pavilion".

After breakfast and check out around 8:30am and begin 2-hour sightseeing at Dawn Pavilion（曙光亭), Refreshing Terrace (清凉台）and Stone Monkey Gazing over the Sea of Clouds（猴子观海）.

0.05km Walk from our Beihai Hotel to Dawn Pavilion (曙光亭).
The Down Pavilion is your first sight in the morning. The steps leading to the pavilion is a little steep, but it isn't hard to climb up if you keep your slow pace. As the name implies, the Dawn Peak is one of teh best place to see the first light of the sun in Huangshan Mountain. The peak is 1625 in altitude. From this peak, you can also see and admire the granite forest peaks in Huangshan Mountain.

Refreshing Terrace (清凉台）
Continue to walk from Dawn Peak, soon you will meet the Refreshing Terrace, a perfect flatform to overlook the granite peaks and the sea of clouds. The rocks consist of fine granular porphyritic granite. The rock platform overhangs the cliffs.

Stone Monkey Gazing over the sea of clouds （猴子观海）
Next to Refreshing Terrace is the peak called “Stone Monkey Gazing over the Sea of Clouds”. But the short hike from Refreshing Terrace is a little tiring with steep steps.

Finishing all the sightseeing in Huangshan, have a 2km walk back to White Goose Telpher Station(白鹅岭索道) and take the cable car down the mountain. Take the green bus back to Tangkou Township (汤口镇) where you are arranged to have your lunch around 11:40am.

Huangshan, only 11kms away from Yixian town. It is a unique, buffalo-shaped ancient village. The locals liken Leigang Hill as the "head", two huge trees on the hill as the "horns", the residences in the village as the "body" a winding stream as the "intestines", a crescent pond as the "stomach" and the four bridges as the "four feet". Because of this extraordinary vernacular dwellings of the village, Hongcun Village was added to the list of the World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in late 2000.
