Where can I camp in Huangshan? Huangshan camping guide

There are many scenic spots in Huangshan and they are more beautiful, but there are many camping places in Huangshan at night. In fact, there are two main reasons for camping. The first is that the room price is too expensive, and the second is that you can see the beautiful scenery.

We all know that accommodation at the top of Huangshan Mountain is expensive. During the peak season (March 1st - November 30th), the cheapest price for a standard room is 800 to 900. On weekends and various holidays, the price is even higher. Breaking through 1,000, even the cheapest one with a private bathroom for 6-10 people usually costs more than 100 per bed. During the peak summer season, the price rises to 300. The cost of accommodation is so high, which is still very expensive for many people. If it hurts, then you might as well rent a tent, enjoy the outdoor camping paradise, and feel the wonderful feeling of sleeping between heaven and earth.

At present, there are three types of tents on the top of Huangshan Mountain. One is a tent that requires travelers to carry it up the mountain themselves, and the other is a tent rented by a mountaintop hotel, such as the Mountaintop Lion Hotel. There is also a starry sky tent. 1. Self-carrying tents at the foot of the mountain

They are mainly double tents, including tents, moisture-proof mats, and 2 sleeping bags. The weight is basically about 9 pounds. They can be booked directly online, and the tents can be picked up directly at the hotel. You can also ask the hotel staff to deliver it. It should be noted that you need to pay a deposit of 300 yuan when you pick up the tent. If there is no damage or loss when you return it after going down the mountain, the deposit will be refunded in full. Remember to keep the deposit receipt.

Advantages: Of course it is cheap. The lowest rent for a two-person tent is 50 yuan, and the highest is no more than 100 yuan;

Disadvantages: It consumes energy. If you hike up the mountain all the way, you will have to carry it on your back. It is not easy to set up a tent, so you must do what you can. If you are not confident in your physical strength, you can take the ropeway up the mountain, and then go directly to the hotels closest to the ropeway, put down your luggage and then relax. 2. Hotel tents on the mountain

Normally there are no tents for rent in hotels on the mountain. After all, the operating costs on the mountain are high, so the rooms must be sold first. If the rooms are full in the summer, some The hotel will be temporarily sold.

Advantages: You don’t need to carry your own weight up and down the mountain. You can set it up outdoors on sunny days and indoors on rainy days, and are not affected by the weather;

Disadvantages: It is slightly more expensive than self-carrying tents under the mountain. expensive.

Shilin Hotel Starry Sky Tent

Shilin Hotel’s fully transparent starry sky tent can satisfy all your romantic fantasies. You can watch the outdoor scenery in 360 degrees when you stay inside. You can enjoy the brilliant stars all over the sky while lying down. However, the price is not cheap, 1,280 yuan per night (including breakfast for two people).

Tips:

When the rental tent is not in use, the merchant will disinfect it. If you are concerned about hygiene, you can wipe it before use, or bring your own sheets for cushioning. . Hotels on the top of the mountain usually charge a management fee of 30 yuan. If you want hot water, you can ask the hotel attendant. 3. What to bring for camping

1. Bring more food

Food on the mountain is very expensive, so it is recommended to bring more food, such as chocolate, Snickers bars, and ham sausages. You can take it with you to replenish energy on the road, and you can also take bucket noodles with you. It is a must-have for home travel. Thinking about the wind blowing on the top of Huangshan Mountain at night, admiring the beautiful scenery, and eating instant noodles is one of the joys of life. .

2. Power bank

If your mobile phone is out of power, please Life is important, so it’s best to bring a power bank. If that doesn’t work, ask the hotel if you can charge it; you can bring a flashlight or not, after all, mobile phones have lighting functions.

3. Trekking poles

You can have this. It takes 4 hours to hike up the mountain. When you reach the mountain, you have to walk the whole way. Trekking poles are still useful and are sold on Tangkou Street. , usually 5 yuan a piece.

4. What should you pay attention to when setting up a tent?

1. The most suitable time to set up a tent on the mountain is July to October (although the temperature has risen in May and June, it is the rainy season, and it often rains on the mountain, so it is not recommended. (Pitching a tent), self-carrying tents are outdoor, be sure to check the weather in Huangshan first;

2. Especially in the summer, there are many tents set up, basically one next to the other. It is a test of personal qualities. You must be orderly when taking the ride. Don't make loud noises at night. When you get up early in the morning to watch the sunrise and pack your luggage, try to be quiet so as not to disturb other people's rest;

3. Be sure You must pitch a tent in a designated place, and never go camping alone in unfamiliar mountains and forests. I am not trying to scare you, but for safety’s sake, you really shouldn’t do this;

4. Simple washing and toilet use can be done in the parking lot of a nearby hotel* **Bathroom, but you cannot take a shower, especially girls must be mentally prepared;

5. There are no lighting facilities in the tent. You can bring your own flashlight, or use the flashlight software in your mobile phone for lighting. Please note that Open fires are strictly prohibited on the mountain, and smoking is strictly prohibited except in designated smoking areas;

6. If you plan to carry a tent on foot all the way up the mountain, other unnecessary luggage can be stored in the hotel or transfer center at the foot of the mountain. When choosing a backpack, try to carry as little as possible;

7. Not leaving any garbage at the camp is a discipline that campers must abide by. Do not throw away domestic garbage everywhere. Trash can nearby.

Camping is not only about saving accommodation fees, but the most essential reason is to get out of the house, go outdoors, and open up a different natural experience. Youth is about wandering, life is about experiencing, come and experience camping on the top of Huangshan Mountain. 5. Simple Travel Notes

Automatic pole 3-4 person tent. This tent really makes me sad. The automatic pole is very convenient to put up and put up. It can be set up in one minute, but it is almost as heavy as two others. , it is also bigger than others, so the space is naturally more spacious. Mine is 4KG, and other manual poles are less than 2KG, but it takes half an hour to set up. There are pros and cons. It is better to travel light when climbing mountains. My main consideration is To keep out the cold and rain, I bought a two-layer tent with a mosquito net and a tarpaulin on the top. After all, the rain in Huangshan Mountain comes at the drop of a hat.

Sleeping bag: -5℃-+5℃ sleeping bag (the temperature in Huangshan Mountain in September is about 8℃). If necessary, it can be used as a cotton-padded jacket.

Moisture-proof mat: I originally planned to bring an air bed, but because there was too much luggage, I just used a moisture-proof aluminum film. This is a must-have. The aluminum film has an obvious effect of blocking surface moisture. The aluminum film is covered with water

Jackets/small cotton-padded jackets: essential for watching the sunrise in the morning. It can also be used as a quilt or pillow or a raincoat at night. The wind-blocking effect is excellent. In order to make the most of everything. Yes, I only brought the outer shell of my jacket, as the inner liner took up space and I didn’t bring it with me.

70L mountaineering bag: a tent, two sleeping bags, a jacket, and moisture-proof aluminum film external plugs are enough.

Skin clothing: sun protection, wind protection, and most importantly, it is extremely light, does not take up space, is easy to carry, and is windproof. I sleep wrapped in skin clothing at night, thinking it can reduce body temperature loss. Speed

Trekking poles: You will know this when going down mountains and walking on boardwalks.

Magic headscarf: It has powerful functions. It is a cycling artifact. It can be used as a mask, neck scarf, wristband, headband, and hat. In fact, I use it more as a towel to wipe sweat.

There are also some small things, including a power bank, a camping lamp, a flashlight, spare batteries, some band-aids, a box of cooling oil, and a bottle of insect repellent. Selfie stick, binoculars (to take with you), some food, and a bottle of water. (I prepared a bottle of chocolate beans and half a pound of air-dried beef as the main energy source)

At 8 a.m. on September 12, I took the direct bus from Hangzhou West Railway Station to Tangkou Town, Huangshan Scenic Area, and arrived at Tangkou. At the same time, the bus boss began to introduce Huangshan and the places to pay attention to in detail. By the way, he solicited customers to go to his hotel for meals and accommodation, and also provided surrounding travel services. He arrived at Tangkou at about 12 noon. We ate directly at their home, called Jingyi Hotel, which was actually a private house built by the family. I ordered the special Huangshan hair tofu, spicy and sour potato shreds, and a green vegetable. The taste of hairy tofu is weird, a bit like fermented bean curd, but it is not as moldy as fermented bean curd, and I can’t say I like it. If the fermented bean curd is half moldy, it is called hairy tofu. Most of the friends who came to eat together ordered special dishes, such as hairy tofu, stinky mandarin fish, Huangshan bracken, etc. In the end, I realized that only my spicy and sour potato shreds were the wisest, haha.

I booked a room after dinner, 80 yuan a night, which is a fair price in Tangkou.

In the afternoon, I plan to go to the Emerald Valley at the foot of Huangshan Mountain

The store also provides shuttle services to scenic spots. Negotiate the price. It costs 20 yuan per person to go to the Emerald Valley. The boss's son will be the driver. They delivered the buns directly to us and bought us a group ticket for 70 yuan/piece (regular price 90). The service was pretty good.

Emerald Valley is actually a ravine between two mountains, with a stream above it. It feels similar to Baishui Cave in Xinshao.

However, there are patches of bamboo forest. It is said that the scene of the fight in the bamboo forest with Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger was filmed here.

After visiting the Emerald Valley, I didn’t think there was anything new. I didn’t go to the Jiulong Waterfall either, so I just asked the driver to take us back.

At 3 o'clock, I went back and walked around the old streets of Tangkou. I bought a swimsuit and decided to go to the hot spring. I went back to the hotel for consultation. I also bought two hot spring tickets at a lower price than online group buying. I went there directly Just give your name and mobile phone, and we stayed there until we came back at 8pm. We also had some free cakes, watermelon and apples along the way.

I went back to the old street to eat something, and then purchased dry food for the hike up the mountain the next day. Before going up the mountain, I was prepared not to do any consumption except for the ropeway. The lunch box on the mountain is 55 per portion. I went there on the weekend. The standard room on the mountain on weekends is 1480, and the eight-person bunk bed is more than 200 per berth.

After returning to the hotel, I sorted out the equipment and cleaned up the dry food for the two of them for 30 hours on the mountain: half a pound of air-dried beef, a bottle of chocolate beans, two bottles of milk, three buckets of instant noodles, and 10 small breads , 2 cucumbers, 2 oranges, 1 bottle of water, about 100 yuan (beef accounts for 50 yuan). Store unnecessary baggage in the store.

The next day

On September 13, I got up at six o'clock. The weather outside was not bad, and I found that most of the people who stayed in the hotel yesterday were gone. It seemed that I got up a little late. . After eating two bowls of noodles in the store, the driver took us to the transfer center to take the bus to Yungu Temple, which is halfway up the mountain.

Standing in the parking lot, you can already see the mountains in the distance.

I got on the bus at 6:40 and took almost half an hour on the winding mountain road to the Yungu Cableway. Looking at the sea of ??clouds on the way, everyone in the car exclaimed.

Taking the bus to Yungu Temple is already 780 meters above sea level. I bought the ticket for 230 and the ropeway ticket for 80. I basically didn’t queue up and got on the ropeway.

The reason why I chose the ropeway to go up the mountain is because my backpack is too heavy. I carry about 10KG, and my girlfriend bears the heavy burden of dry food and clothing. It is a long way to go. The climb from Yungu Temple to Baieling is 15 miles away. Normal hiking takes 4 hours. Time and energy are not within the budget, because I plan to leave all my energy to the West Sea Grand Canyon.

Arrived at Baieling at 8 o'clock, took out the hiking poles, and the trip to Huangshan officially started.

Travel route: Baieling - Black Tiger Pine - Harp Pine - Shixin Peak to see the Eighteen Arhats facing the South China Sea - Return to Black Tiger Pine - Beihai Hotel - Shilin Hotel - Qingliang Terrace - Monkey Viewing the Sea - Lion Peak (Return to Beihai Hotel on the original route) Cross Guangmingding and arrive at Baiyun Hotel.

Arrived at Baiyun Hotel at 12 o'clock, planning to camp in Baiyun at night, and stored our luggage in the hotel. After a short rest, continue to set off, Baiyun Hotel - Guangmingding - Paiyun Tower - Paiyun Pavilion - North entrance of the West Sea Grand Canyon (always a relatively steep downhill plank road) - via the first and second rings - to the bottom of the valley at about 4 p.m. Then take the sightseeing cable car to Tianhai (you have to take it, either go back and walk on the plank road for 3 hours, or continue to walk forward on the detour for 4 hours)

Take the small train and return to Guangmingding to watch the sunset, the weather Unfortunately, I didn’t see it, and it was cold, so I returned to the basketball court of Baiyun Hotel to camp.

After setting up camp, I went to the hotel to pick up instant noodles and filled a bottle of boiling water. Then I prepared to have a birthday party with instant noodles, cakes, and beef. Here, some people actually envy me for having instant noodles. eat. . .

The third day

On September 14, I got up at 4 o'clock and packed up the camp.

Start climbing to Guangming Peak at 4:30, and choose to watch the sunrise at Alchemy Peak.

There is a faint red light in the sky at 5 o'clock, and it starts to rain at 5:30 o'clock. I know there is no hope and start preparing to go down the mountain at 6 o'clock. You can understand it. It rains about 200 days out of 365 days in Huangshan, and it only rains in a year. Saw 50 sunrises.

Guangmingding - Baiyun Hotel - Haixin Pavilion - Chelyfish Peak took a short rest, ate some dry food, and went down the mountain at about 8 o'clock, Baibu Ladder - Yuping Cableway (didn't plan to take the cableway, two 80's You can go back and eat seabass with the cableway ticket)

It started to get foggy when we went down the mountain. We walked down and reached the Yingke Pine, the landmark of Huangshan. At this time, the rain increased, so I put on a raincoat.

Then from Laodaokou - Xindaokou - Banshan Temple - to Ciguang Pavilion it was already 12 o'clock (take the bus back to the transfer center, the driver will pick us up)

Back to Tangkou, After eating something, I bought some local kiwi fruits, pears, and Huangshan sesame cakes.

At 2pm, take the bus home.

Let’s count the expenses again

In line with the principle of self-reliance, travel freely, do not join group tours, care for the environment, and travel in a civilized way.

Round-trip bus 23220, lunch 50, Emerald Valley plus round-trip fare 180, hot spring plus round-trip fare 380, mountain accommodation 80, dinner plus dry food 50, breakfast 20, two tickets 460, two The ropeway ticket is 160 yuan, the two small train tickets are 160 yuan, the tent camp management fee is 30 yuan (you can use the hot water in the hotel for free, but you have to go before the hotel gets off work), the tent is 2020 yuan, and the equipment is 500 yuan, that is That’s enough for two bunk beds on the mountain for one night. Except for entrance tickets and ropeway tickets, I didn’t make any purchases on the mountain. I brought appropriate dry food. I didn’t go hungry and didn’t have too much leftover. The things I brought up the mountain were basically the necessities. I left all the burdens at the hotel down the mountain. Of course, I packed lightly when I went out. To play well, of course you need a good mood.
