Tickets and booking
The data pack carries no ticket prices, booking platforms, or reservation rules for Shixin Peak, so no figures can be quoted here. What the record does establish is administrative: the peak sits inside Huangshan Scenic Area (listed address: Huangshan Scenic Area, Tangkou Town, Huangshan District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province), so any admission question routes through the scenic area rather than the peak itself. For current ticketing and reservation details, call the numbers on file for the site: 0559-5561111 or 400-8899808. Booking ahead is the reliable move for any ticketed Chinese scenic area, but confirm the exact process by phone rather than assuming one.
Entrance and routes
The pack’s routing note is short and specific: Shixin Peak stands above Baieling Station, and the way in is to continue forward from Baieling. Treat Baieling Station as the landmark to navigate to; the peak is the onward continuation from it, not a separate trailhead. The pack does not describe how you reach Baieling Station itself — cableway, steps, or otherwise — so confirm that leg on arrival or through the scenic area’s phone lines (0559-5561111 / 400-8899808) before committing to a plan.
Photo spots
The pack lists no named viewpoints or photo platforms on Shixin Peak, so none can be recommended here. What the record does fix in place: the destination is a summit above Baieling Station, so plan on shooting from the peak itself once you arrive. Work within the official hours — from 2 March to 30 November the schedule opens at 07:00 on weekdays and 06:30 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, which is the earliest access the published timetable allows.
Timing and crowds
Opening hours on record, and they vary by season and day of week: 1 December to 1 March, 08:00-16:40 daily; 2 March to 30 November, 07:00-17:10 Monday to Friday, and 06:30-17:40 on Saturdays, Sundays, and the Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays. The pack contains no crowd or visitor-volume data, so no claims about quiet or busy periods can be made. The practical default: start at the earliest opening time your day allows, since the published schedule itself gives you a longer window on weekend and holiday mornings in season.
Walking and effort
The pack gives no distance, elevation gain, or difficulty rating for Shixin Peak, so the effort cannot be quantified. What is on record: the peak sits directly above Baieling Station and is reached by continuing forward from it, and the suggested time on site is 1-3 hours. Use that 1-3 hour figure as your planning unit for the peak, and gauge the approach to Baieling Station separately once you know how you are getting there — the pack does not specify that leg.
Getting there
The transit note in the pack is minimal: Shixin Peak is above Baieling Station, and from Baieling you continue forward to reach it. The wider address places the peak in Huangshan Scenic Area, Tangkou Town, Huangshan District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. The pack lists no bus routes, cableways, or connections to Baieling Station, so confirm that leg locally or by phone (0559-5561111 / 400-8899808) before setting out.
Cost breakdown
No costs appear in the data pack — no admission price, cableway fare, or transport figure for Shixin Peak or Huangshan Scenic Area — so nothing can be totalled here. The only cost-adjacent facts on record are the site’s contact numbers, 0559-5561111 and 400-8899808; use them to get current pricing before you go. Until the scenic area confirms figures, hold off on locking in a budget.
