Huangshan launches hands-free luggage service

Travelers to Huangshan can now explore the scenic area without carrying heavy bags, as a new luggage service integrating storage, delivery and point-to-point transfer was recently launched by Huangshan Tourism Development and Anhui SF Express.

The service employs a cabinet-to-cabinet model at Mount Huangshan, allowing visitors to deposit luggage at one smart cabinet and collect it at another. Through the Huangshan Tourism Official Platform mini-program, developed with technical support from Tuma Technology, users can locate cabinets, make reservations and complete deposits or pickups online. Real-name registration and parcel inspection are required at all service points to ensure safety and traceability.

A new SF Express image store at the East Gate began operating the same day. Located near the ticket checkpoint, it combines luggage delivery, smart storage, packaging and travel information services. Its launch completes the scenic area's service network as all four gates open to visitors.

Twenty smart service points have been set up across the city, including scenic spots and transport hubs. The cabinet-to-cabinet model is the first of its kind at a mountain scenic area in China, making travel in Huangshan more convenient and supporting the high-quality development of cultural tourism.
