Yupinglou Hotel

Huangshan


A 10-minute walk to the right from the top of the Jade Screen cable car, this four-star hotel is perched on a spectacular 1660m-high lookout just above the Welcoming Guest Pine Tree (迎客松, Yíngkèsōng). Aim for the doubles at the back, as some rooms have small windows with no views. Discounts generally bring doubles down to around ¥780 and dorm beds to about ¥150.
