500m Walk from our Beihai Hotel to Dawn Pavilion<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Down Pavilion was our first sight in the afternoon sightseeing. The steps leading to the pavilion is a little steep, but it isn\u2019t hard to climb up if you keep your slow pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name implies, the Dawn Peak is one of the best place to see the sunrise in Huangshan<\/a> Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe peak is 1625 in altitude. From this peak, you can also see and admire the granite forest peaks in Huangshan Mountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We just continued to walk from Dawn Peak, soon we met the Refreshing Terrace, a perfect platform to overlook the granite peaks and the sea of cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to Refreshing Terrace is the peak called \u201cStone Monkey Gazing over the Sea of Clouds\u201d. But the short hike from Refreshing Terrace was a little tiring with steep steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time for today\u2019s sunset was 5:50pm. I stood on the peak of where I saw Monkey Gazing over the sea of clouds waiting for the sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waiting for the sunset<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThis is a nice, but not the best point to see the sunset in Mountain Huangshan. Later I found the sunset view was beautiful, though not so exciting as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
