Huangshan

A few months ago Ping and I went to Huangshan for a day of climbing. It was an enjoyable experience. I only wish we'd had enough time to spend a night on the mountain, but then staying on the mountain top is rather expensive--at least for a working laowai such as myself. 

Huangshan, Yellow Mountain, is a beautiful place. If you have the time, I think it well worth visiting. We only spent a day on the mountain, but we were a little rushed. If you you spend a night on the mountain, then I think you wouldn't have many regrets. Expect to pay. Hotel rooms are expensive, by Chinese standards, and so is food. 

Accommodation will probably set you back 1000 RMB. Cafeteria style meals can be had for around 50 RMB. A proper multi-course meal for six can be had for 700 RMB.  Incidentally, there is an ATM on the mountain top across from the basketball court.

Below are some pictures to give you a sense of the place.
