Banyan Tree Huangshan opens in Anhui, China

Banyan Tree Huangshan has officially opened in the misty awe-inspiring landscape of Anhui Province, east of China, in the shadow of the great Mount Huangshan. 

The tenth Banyan Tree in China, it is 70 minutes away from Huangshan city. Cultural adventurers and explorers will be fascinated by the ancient dwellings of Xidi and Hongcun, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the breath-taking Mount Huangshan with its unusual-shaped granite peaks, woody pine trees and hot springs.

China - Anhui (Chapter)

The principal draw for visitors to Ānhuī is its well-preserved villages and fantastical mountain scapes. The main attraction of this southern Huīzhōu region is unquestionably Huángshān, a jumble of sheer granite cliffs wrapped in cottony clouds that inspired an entire school of ink painting during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Coverage includes: Túnxī & around, Huīzhōu Villages, Huángshān, Jiǔhuá Shān, and Héféi.
