10 Days in Huangshi
Ten days goes deeper than the week — the 1907 cement works, the Hanyeping steel yards, Daye's countryside hills, the Daye Lake expo gardens and a slow Yangxin finish at Xiandao Lake.
Quick Answer
Is 10 days enough for Huangshi?
10 days lets you go beyond Huangshi's core into neighborhoods, food markets, and one or two day trips at a relaxed pace.

10-day Huangshi itinerary at a glance
Use our full Huangshi travel guide as the base and adapt it to 10 days. Keep the city's three signature attractions as the backbone; fill the rest with neighborhood walks, food markets, and an easy day trip.
Cihu Arrival & City Orientation
Ease in along the lake boardwalks and the museum's mining halls — HSR puts Wuhan under an hour away, so the arrival day stays calm.
- huangshi cihu lake
- huangshi city museum
Tieshan Open Pit
A full morning at the stepped pit, 444 m from rim to floor and worked since 1890; late April covers the reclaimed slopes in locust blossom.
- huangshi national mine park
Tonglvshan & Daye Town
Museum halls sit over 3,000-year-old Bronze-Age shafts; afterwards walk the hill loops of Qinglongshan above Daye's old streets.
- huangshi tonglvshan copper mine
- huangshi qinglongshan park
Industrial Origins Day
The Huaxin works of 1907, with its 1940s American kilns in the site museum, pairs with the Hanyeping iron-and-steel yards — part of Hanyeping stays inside the working plant, so treat the Huaxin museum as the main stop.
- huangshi huaxin cement site
- huangshi hanyeping site
Dongfang Mountain
The "first mountain of the Three Chus" — forest paths, the Honghua temple halls and a vegetarian canteen lunch fill a slow day.
- huangshi dongfang mountain
Yangtze Cliff & Cave Hill
Climb Xisaishan early for the river gorge and the barge convoys, then the cave and viewing platform of Feiyun Park on the Huangjingshan ridge, about two hours return.
- huangshi xisaishan
- huangshi feiyun cave
Expo Gardens on Daye Lake
Half an hour from downtown, the garden-expo park and the mineral-crystal halls share the Daye Lake shore; the autumn mineral fair fills them with dealers and shows.
- huangshi garden expo park
- huangshi mineral expo park
Xiandao Lake Cruise
A 1.5-hour drive to Wangying in Yangxin for the 1,002-island reservoir — boat cruise and the glass sky deck are separately ticketed, and lake-fish lunch waits by the pier.
- huangshi xiandao lake
Yangxin County Town
A slow day on the lotus-lake boardwalks; listen for Yangxin's tea-picking opera, and note the bus from Wangying takes about an hour.
- huangshi lianhua lake park
Daye Countryside & Departure
On the road back, stop at Leishan's stone ridges and the Longfengshan hills of Liu Renba, where the Red Third Army Corps formed in 1930 — rural buses are thin, so self-drive or charter; March turns the rapeseed fields gold.
- huangshi leishan
- huangshi longfengshan
