Huangshan Yupinglou Hotel, China
There are two ways to reach the accommodation perched on the peak of Yupin Mountain in China’s Huangshan region: take the cable car or brave the two-hour climb up 60,000 stairs to the top. Whichever route you choose, summiting the Yellow Mountains’ highest peak isn’t for the faint-hearted, with its jagged, craggy edges frequently fringed by mist. The peak’s accommodation, also known as Jade Screen Hotel, makes a welcome resting place.
