I've stayed in Huangshanmany times over the years. Here are my recommendations for every budget.
Huangshan's natural beauty means views matter when choosing accommodation. The main areas to consider are Mountain summit and Base of mountain. Every option below is vetted for comfort, location, and value.
Basic but essential — the only way to see sunrise. Book 2-3 months ahead.
Comfortable hotel at the base with hot springs access.
