The following are the heritage sites, grouped into recommended gateway cities. This may help in planning on the logistics (travel and accommodation) of your journey.

HUANGSHAN (TXN)

Huangshan City, formerly known as Tunxi, is the vibrant soul of Anhui Province and the essential base for exploring the legendary Yellow Mountain. The city is a masterpiece of Huizhou culture, where the thousand-year-old Tunxi Old Street showcases exquisite Ming and Qing dynasty architecture with its signature white walls and grey tiles. Beyond its role as a transit hub, Huangshan captivates foodies with its “stinky” mandarin fish and “hairy” tofu, while art lovers flock to the Hu Kaiwen Ink Factory. Seamlessly blending ancient mercantile heritage with misty mountain grandeur, it remains China’s ultimate gateway to ethereal landscapes.
