It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations.

There are 4 routines to travel in yellow mountain, the north and east are the most famous routines and over 90% of the tourists choosing these routines.

To avoid the flood of tourist, we will go through the Xihai （west sea）Valley which is as beautiful, more challenging and therefore almost empty.

Xihai (West Sea) valley also called "white cloud valley" a total length of 15 km, is one of the famous Huangshan Grand Canyon.

An uncultivated virgin land, because it's magical, horror, was called "the devil in the world." good for adventure tourist.(thanks to google translate;)
