Ever since 2005, Huangshan city has been developing its own brand as a leisure and sports center through a series of activities including Huangshan Mountain （Yellow Mountain）Climbing Festival, Hiking Festival, and the famous Huangshan International Mountain Bike Festival.

The Huangshan Mountain Bike Festival is the only of its kind in China. Set near the mythical Mt. Huangshan and with a track crossing ancient settlements, dense bamboo forests and tea terraces, it offers participants a mountain biking experience unlike any other.
