- Huangshan, or the Yellow Mountain 🏔, is one of China's most treasured mountains.
It has a history dating back thousands of years, to a time when only emperors were allowed to walk its mighty steps. 🚶♂️
During Golden Week, China's most important week for tourism, I went on a few adventures. This was my first. 🇨🇳
Mount Huangshan is a UNESCO World Heritage site in southern China. Located outside the city of Huangshan, the name literally means Yellow Mountain, and is one of the most famous mountains in China. 🟡
It's been famous since the 8th century when it was renamed in honour of Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, mythical ancestor of all Han Chinese. 👑
It's a supremely beautiful spot and we really enjoyed checking it out, despite the stupid amount of stairs 😳!

Thanks for watching 😁. This video was incredibly fun to make, but also only part 1 of my October Golden Week adventure. Part 2 was INCREDIBLE... and probably the complete opposite of climbing a mountain..
If you wanna see part 2 next Sunday night, drop me a like! If this video hits 150 likes I will edit it this week 😎
Harvey, I climbed the Huangshan Mountain almost 30 years ago, at roughly your age. At that time there was no cable car so when I managed to climb to the peak, then downhill and reach the bottom of mountain I could hardly move my feet. Good to see you have a girlfriend now. Enjoy your time and continue sharing with us your experiences in China.
😮😮 wow! I couldn’t imagine hiking the cable car section, I thought the trail I did was hard enough 😂 thank you 😊
There are front route and rear route to mountain Linhua peak. Front route is an easier hike vs. rear route is longer and very strenuous hike, but much more scenic. I took the scenic route. The most dangerous place is called ‘99 steps to heaven’. Steps are narrow and steep, cut out from natural granite ground along the edge of the mountain with no handrails. It goes straight up, can’t see the end of the path. It’s over 120 steps, not 99.
just found your channel. loving your china vlog. also just subscribed to your channel
Awesome! Thanks!!
China is very diverse, i enjoyed this vlog
Thanks man!
China is so tranquil ☺️☺️ the scenery and nature is just wow!
Beautiful!
Unmatched. The country is amazing 😍
Fun, interesting and informative ! Learned about Yellow Mountain. Also want to point out that you underlined the need to take care when climbing trails eventhough there are steps to climb. Not all steps are evenly laid out. Would’ve liked to have seen a few drone shots if you could’ve !! GOOD CONTENT 😊 👍🏾
Drones were banned unfortunately, super annoying as the views would’ve been incredible!
Great to see a lot of people out and about. Hope the country will loosen up more soon.
I’m hoping that too! Would love a weekend getaway to Thailand or Korea!
Following.. Great to see such beautiful mountains through your eyes..looking forward to more of your adventures!
Thanks, great to have you here 😁
I visited this place 6 years ago. I am glad I went. Not to sugarcoat, the hike was tremendous tiring. But the scenery was breathtaking. We stayed at one of mountain top hotels near Linhua peak overnight. Unforgettable experience.
I gotta go back during winter!! Apparently the mountain has a completely different look!
@@Harveyinchina Ground will be more slippery. If you can, try to stay at a mountain top hotel overnight. Go to watch sunrise with a guide at Linhua peak is an awesome experience. Breakfast at the hotel is great. Bear in mind, as you know, everything they use and supplies are carried up manually from the foothill. Workers make small wages to deliver goods. Some workers do 2 to 3 trips a day.
Incredible views 😍
They afe
That mountain looks like a lot of hard work! I'm surprised you didn't want to rest during the October break
It was tough 😂 managed to get some rest in at our next spot though 😁
If you liked Mount Huangshan, you'll love Zhangjiajie in Hunan. It's truly beautiful. Where the Avatar films got their location idea from
It’s on my list 😜
Agreed! I did that about 4 years ago!
I'm in China myself atm. In Shenzhen so I like to keep an eye on channels like this to get some ideas on where to go. You're doing a good job man and you're really consistent which is key- keep it up but some advice- from one creator to another- be yourself.
Thanks… I think 😂 drop your channel, we’d love to have a watch!
@@Harveyinchina I didn’t mean to come across arsey man. I just get the impression you’re putting a lot into this, especially if you’re working too. Passion and creativity doesn’t flow freely without authenticity, I think you can sense that most in video form. But yeah I’m not a TH-camr but I do write stories. Hopefully there’ll be a book one day :)
@@willlewis5302 oh okay, cool 😊
@@willlewis5302 Are you implying he's not being authentic?
From Anhui Province and having climbed Huangshan three times, I really recommend you to stay in a hotel at the top of the mountain to check out the West Sea Valley (forgot the actual English). Absolutely the most amazing scenery imo.
We saw that hotel, it looked such an ideal spot to stay! I think if we pass through Huangshan again then I will stay there!
Stroooongly recommend you to visit Huangshan again in different weather. One in a cloudy day and the other one on the day after snow. You'll witness totally different landscapes. Very curious about where you'd heading for the next day. Hangzhou where I live is not far from Huangshan, did you come here then?
I’ve heard it’s incredible after snow… didn’t head to Hangzhou, went to another very very nice city though…
Hello again Harvey, I am thoroughly enjoying your travels and your relaxed friendly way of presenting them. You have a travel partner here, is she another content maker I can support with my subscription ?
Thanks for watching! She doesn’t make content unfortunately!
Hi Harvey.. i'm a bit confused.. is Huangshan mountain scenery similar to Zhangjiajie.. seems very similar.. but Zhangjiajie seems a lot more extensive.. may be much more dramatic.. are they near each other..
Both areas are quartzite sandstone columns and pillars, so they look very similar. But Zhangjiajie is a lot more extensive and dramatic, the pillars rise very high with nothing around them, whereas Huangshan is more mountain-like! Both are amazing though!
