Huangshan (Huangshan / Yellow Mountain) is located in southern Anhui Province, China. To visit Huangshan Scenic Area (main entrances/transfer hubs), most travelers use Tangkou Town as the gateway. Tunxi District (Huangshan City) is a better city base for accommodation and convenience (Old Street, local food, airport/HSR connections).
