Introduction

Huatai Scenic Area is located north of Tiantai Peak and consists of the Big Huatai and Small Huatai. The name of this place comes from its abundant mountain flowers. It's one of the high-altitude scenic areas in Jiuhua Mountain. Although it was developed later, it's still a good choice if you want to change your scenery. The scenery of Huatai is very similar to Huangshan, with its strange peaks, odd stones, and beautiful sea of clouds that make people intoxicated. To reach Huatai, you can climb up from the Tiantai area, take a cable car, or a ropeway. Although there is no direct hiking trail to the mountain top, we recommend that you choose the cable car to get there. There are many signs on the mountain to help you find the right route. It's worth noting that after getting off the cable car, you need to walk on a very steep road. To avoid unnecessary risks, please walk carefully. After reaching Jixiang Pine, you can take a rest.
