张家界nice.

If you buddhist, 九华山 is around 2hrs drive from 黄山。Also worth visiting。

If you join group tour you are likely to have gone up from the front or 前山 as 西海大峡谷 is off limited to tour group.

Below is copied for the internet.

西海大峽谷：“登黃山爬夢幻，不去夢幻是最大的遺憾”！這裏被稱為夢幻景區，體驗、感受黃山的秀麗，幽靜， 風景這邊獨好。“這裏是旅行團的禁區，是自助遊的天堂”。有人說“黃山的門票百分之八十都產生在這裏”，這 話雖然有點誇張，但足以證明這裏的風景確實有她的獨特之處。熟悉黃山的人都知道其精華為西海大峽谷和天都峰 ，跟團玩黃山是不走西海大峽谷的（也稱“夢幻景區”），那就看不到黃山最美的地方了，你可以到網上搜下西海 大峽谷這個黃山最絕美的地方，黃山如果不是單位集體出來遊玩，一般都建議自助遊玩。黃山西海大峽谷全程穿越 將近5個小時，天都峰一上一下2個小時左右，因為時間上的關系，所以國內的旅行團是不去的。

As for the sharing bunk i mean, i follow the china tour and luckily check that is sharing bunk so decide to pay more stay at the hotel side.

I did not visit 九天洞 so cannot comment.

I saw some posting stating 西海大峽谷 is closed during winter. Maybe you can verify with the tour agent.

If true then you would have miss the best and toughest part of HS. No need to train liao. hehhe

Bro, You sure u r going in Dec? The winter is very beautiful but very dangerous as well.
If it snows(even without, there will be ice formed on the steps and rock surface), it will be very beautiful but sleepery. Remember you are walking all the time on slope and the scenic spots are always near to cliff...Enjoy but be extra careful.

中国上下五千年，history alone will take enough of your time till you get old, scenic places will be another story, beautiful girls.....

There are 丝路，茶马古道 and more. I have seen how the private developer destroyed valuable sites and history, just to develop the place into a tourist attraction (Sound familar? Singapore too!). Try to visit before anyone destroy them further, before it is too late.

For what I heard, 迎客松 at 黄山 is now a replica made of fibreglass, original tree was dead many years ago.

Be prepared for cold weather up there. Sometimes, they will seal the mountain (封山) without notice. Bring sufficient clothing.

Is the first photo taken along the "古栈道" up at 天门山? To me, that is the best scenery at 张家界. Many tour agencies put 天门山 as "additional". Don't miss it. 十里画廊 can forget it.

The most beautiful instant when u view the moutain is the clouds passing over the moutain making it vaguely visible or 若隐若现,宛如仙境！

Btw, another up and coming not as yet commercialized moutain is 三清山 located in 江西. Also nearer to CP in Guangdong is 丹霞山 located in 韶关 quite famous moutain in China about 5-6 hours away by train.
