Day-by-day outline

A route with room to arrive, travel, and recover

Use this route as a starting point. We will choose the sights, hotels and transport with you, then confirm the local teams and services for your dates.

Days 1–3

Beijing

Settle in after your flight, then explore the capital. Keep the arrival day light and plan the main visits for the days that follow.

Day 4

Beijing to Huangshan

Travel to Huangshan by train or plane, with the connection chosen to suit your dates. Allow the day for travel and the transfer to your hotel.

Days 5–7

Huangshan and Huizhou

Spend time on Yellow Mountain and in one or more Huizhou villages. Choose an overnight base that suits your mountain route and leave time to explore beyond the main sights.

Day 8

Huangshan to Shanghai

Continue to Shanghai with the final connection selected according to the season, timetable, luggage, and desired departure area.

Days 9–10

Shanghai

Enjoy a final stay in Shanghai, leaving plenty of time for your international departure. Add a night if you would like longer here rather than cutting short your time in Huangshan.

East China ground operations

Huangshan and Shanghai services

Transfers, tourism vehicles, guide coordination, hotel and attraction logistics, and on-trip communication can be managed within the confirmed East China program.

Coordinated delivery

Beijing and cross-city handovers

Beijing is delivered through a confirmed destination arrangement. The proposal identifies the operating responsibility and handover between Beijing and the East China sections.

What can change

Adjust the route around the travelers—not the other way around

Add Xi'an when the overall trip can support at least three additional nights.
Replace a major-city day with more time in Huizhou villages or a slower Yellow Mountain route.
Choose a mountaintop stay only after walking ability, weather risk, luggage, and room availability are considered.
Use private vehicles and licensed local guides selectively rather than assuming every day needs the same service.
Adapt the final Shanghai stay to the international departure airport and flight time.

Clear operating boundary: HSLY manages the Huangshan and Shanghai ground sections within its East China operating scope. Beijing is delivered through a confirmed destination arrangement, with cross-city handovers stated in the proposal.

Customize this direction
