Tickets and booking
Feilai Stone is a point of interest inside Huangshan Scenic Area, and the data pack lists no separate admission for the stone itself — access falls under the scenic area’s own ticketing, for which no prices are given here. The verified contact lines are 0559-5561111 and 400-8899808; calling ahead is the reliable way to confirm current ticket rules and any reservation requirements before you set out.
Time any ticketed entry against the seasonal hours: 08:00-16:40 from December 1 to March 1, then 07:00-17:10 on weekdays and 06:30-17:40 on weekends from March 2 to November 30, with the extended 06:30-17:40 window also applying during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday periods.
Entrance and routes
There is no gate of its own: the stone stands on the ridge trail between two fixed reference points. Per the pack, you can reach it by walking west from Bright Summit (Guangmingding) or south from Paiyun Pavilion, and it comes into view from either direction.
From the stone, a small path runs about 2 km northwest to Paiyun Pavilion at West Sea Gate (Xihaimen). That makes the natural play a through-walk — Bright Summit to the stone to Paiyun Pavilion — rather than an out-and-back to a standalone sight.
Photo spots
The pack carries no curated photo list, so work with the geography it does confirm: the stone itself, framed from the trail as you approach from Bright Summit or from Paiyun Pavilion, and the ridge views along the 2 km path northwest to Paiyun Pavilion at West Sea Gate.
Light is a constraint set by the opening hours. In winter (December 1 to March 1) access ends at 16:40, so late-day shooting is out; from March 2 to November 30 the window runs to 17:10 on weekdays and 17:40 on weekends and holidays.
Timing and crowds
Hours vary by season and day of week. December 1 to March 1: 08:00-16:40 daily. March 2 to November 30: 07:00-17:10 Monday to Friday, 06:30-17:40 Saturday and Sunday. The extended 06:30-17:40 window applies during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays.
The pack contains no visitor-volume data, so there is no crowd forecast to lean on — anchor the plan to the hours instead, and fit the suggested 1-3 hours inside whichever window is in force on your date.
Walking and effort
This is a walking stop on a mountain ridge, not a drive-up sight. The verified approaches are on foot: west from Bright Summit or south from Paiyun Pavilion, with a further 2 km of small path northwest to Paiyun Pavilion at West Sea Gate if you continue.
The pack gives no distances for the Bright Summit or Paiyun Pavilion legs and no elevation figures, so budget by time rather than kilometres — the suggested duration is 1-3 hours for the stop and its immediate trails — and wear footwear you would trust on mountain paths.
Getting there
The pack’s transit information covers the on-foot leg only: from Bright Summit head west, or from Paiyun Pavilion head south, and you will reach Feilai Stone; a path 2 km northwest of the stone leads to Paiyun Pavilion at West Sea Gate. No cable car, shuttle or bus details for this segment are included, so treat the stone as a stop you reach under your own power once you are on the mountain.
The scenic area’s listed address is Tangkou Town, Huangshan District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province.
Cost breakdown
No prices appear in the data pack — not for scenic-area admission, cable cars, or any separate fee for the stone — so no reliable cost figure can be quoted here. Since the stone sits inside Huangshan Scenic Area with no standalone ticket listed, the governing cost is whatever the scenic area currently charges.
The practical move is to confirm current ticketing directly on the verified lines, 0559-5561111 or 400-8899808, before budgeting the trip.
