You travel from Shanghai to Huangshan by high-speed train. When you arrive, look for your guide holding a Your Way Holiday sign at the station. They will help with your bags and take you to your hotel. After check-in the rest of the day is free to take it easy, and your guide will go through the plan for the cycling ahead: the route, the distances and what to bring, and will answer any questions before you start tomorrow.
You get up early on the second morning and your guide walks you to Begin-to-Believe Peak for the sunrise. As the light comes up it gilds the ridges and the valleys below, and your guide shows you where to stand for the best view and the best photographs before the day warms. It is a quiet hour, and a good start to the walks ahead.
From the peak your guide leads a scenic walk to Magical Brushwork, a stone pillar that rises on its own and gave the spot its name, since it reads like a giant writing brush stood upright. The way over is lined with old pines and open views, and there are places along it to stop, look back and take pictures at an easy pace.
Around midday you sit down at a mountaintop restaurant for lunch. The kitchen serves Anhui dishes made with local produce, and your guide helps pick a few to share while you rest. It is the natural break before the afternoon climbs, with the peaks out in front of the windows.
After lunch you climb to Bright Summit, the second-highest of the main tops at 1,861 meters. On the flat ground at the top you can see a long way across the ranges, the valleys and the shaped granite ridges, which is why painters and poets kept returning to it. Your guide talks you through how the mountain was built up and points out the landmarks you can make out.
The last stop is Flying-over Rock, a huge stone that sits on the edge of the cliff as though it were dropped there and might tip over. Your guide explains the slow weathering that left the boulder perched where it is, and tells you the old stories people made up about how a rock like this came to rest on top of the mountain.
When the walks are done your guide takes you back down to your hotel for the night and rests you up. Tomorrow is the cycling day: your guide goes over the route and sorts the bikes, so you are ready to ride. Enjoy the evening, and get ready for the next part of the trip.
After breakfast your guide and driver take you to Hongcun, where the day's riding begins. Given a bike, you cycle the quiet lanes around the old houses and the water channels and out into the fields beyond the village. It is an easy pace, with stops along the way, and your guide explains what you are passing: the Hui-style courtyards, the ponds and the way the settlement grew around its canals.
Then you ride on toward Tunxi and its Old Street, following the road out of the countryside into town. The street is a covered shopping lane of old shopfronts, tea houses and stalls, busy in a different way from the quiet of Hongcun. Your guide gives you time to get off the bike, walk the lane and look at the shops and the snacks on offer.
Before you finish, there is a taste of two more Huangshan dishes. Steamed chicken is cooked with local herbs so the meat stays soft and the flavour clean. Drunken crab is fresh crab soaked in rice wine and spices, giving it a rich, slightly sweet taste. Your guide orders them for the table so you can try both before the journey home.
When the day is done, your guide and driver take you to the station. After a short run-through of the trip and any last questions, you board the high-speed train back to Shanghai. Thank you for joining this Huangshan cycling tour, and we hope to see you again.
You should be comfortable riding a bike on flat lanes and quiet village roads, since day three is spent cycling around Hongcun and into Tunxi. The pace is gentle with frequent stops, and a support car travels with the group.
Bikes for the day-three ride are arranged as part of the tour, and your guide checks them before you set off. Bring closed shoes and comfortable trousers; we give guidance on what else to wear for the ride.
Your guide watches the weather on the day. If riding is unsafe, the Hongcun and Tunxi visits can be done on foot or by car instead, so the sightseeing is not lost.
No. The peaks on day two are walked on paths and steps, which cannot be ridden. The cycling is on day three, on the low, flat ground around Hongcun and Tunxi.
On the final day your guide brings you from the ride to Huangshan station, and you take the high-speed train back to Shanghai, where the tour ends.

Did the Huangshan cycling tour as a side trip and it beat the big-group version we tried before. Getting there by bike was painless and set the tone. The time on the old Huizhou lanes and lakeside roads was the real draw and the whole thing felt organised without being rigid. We also liked that the route was easy to follow and nobody got lost between sites. Already recommending it to friends.
The Huangshan cycling tour was well judged from start to finish. Getting there by bike was painless and set the tone. The time on the old Huizhou lanes and lakeside roads was the real draw and the route was easy to follow and nobody got lost between sites. We also liked that the little local restaurant stop was the highlight, honestly. Easy five stars from us.
We had an amazing three-day cycling tour to Huangshan, and it was all made possible by Andy. Cycling through Hongcun Village was a real highlight, and the views of Mt. Huangshan were incredible. Andy took great care to make sure everything ran smoothly, providing us with both historical context and helpful tips along the way. From the peaceful streets of Tunxi to the majestic mountain landscapes, this was an adventure we’ll never forget!
