To fully experience the beauty of Mt. Huangshan, you have to reach the peak areas. With the assistance of Cable car, this is made much easier. The three Cable car on Mt. Huangshan can be described as follows:
Yungu Cable Car Yuping Gondola Taiping Cable Car Yungu Cableway (from the Cloud Valley Temple to White Goose Mountain), also called Cableway 1. It is 2,804 meters in total length and its height difference is 772.8 meters. It is of the same type with Taiping Cableway except that it is smaller (60 persons).
Yuping Cable car (from the Mercy Light Temple to Jade Screen Tower), also called Cableway 3. It is 2,012.1 meters long and its height difference is 745.4 meters. It is of single-line automatic reciprocating type, 31 gondolas in total. Each gondola can hold 6 persons (one way trip lasts 8 minutes).
Taiping Cable car（from Pine Valley Nunnery to Pine Forest Peak), also called Cableway 2. It is 3,561.9 meters long and its height difference is 1,004 meters. It is of four-line reciprocating type, with one pair of cable cars, carrying capacity of 100 + 1 persons for each car (one way trip lasts 11.6 minutes).
Please remember that it is about 85 kilometers from downtown to Huangshan Mountain, and all the cable cars stop after 4 pm. For those who arrive in the local airport in later afternoon, it would be impossible to go up mountain by cable car the same day. Instead, they will have to overnight in the downtown (Tunxi) before driving to Huangshan the next day morning.
