Notes:
1. Roads are narrow and slippery when you ascend the mountain. It is wise for you to prepare a pair of hiking shoes or sneakers.

2. Thunder and rainy days are not suggested to climb the Yellow Mountain, and don’t take shelter under trees in these days.

3. The weather on the mountain is strong windy, take raincoat rather than umbrella.

4. Light bag is enough before you visit mountain, the other you can leave in your hotel at the foot of the mountain

5. It’s wise to book a hotel in advance during the peak season because there are a lot of visitors to Mt. Huangshan all year round. Book in advance can get discount sometimes. And because winter is the low season in Huangshan, not all hotels open, so make sure weather the hotel you want to book open or not.

6. Temperature is relatively low on the mountain especially in early morning and evening, so please take some warm coat.

7. April to November is peak season, it’s the best time to enjoy the mountain beauty.

8. If you want to smoking, please look for some areas with the smoking sign since there are full of trees.

9. It’s not allow visitors set up tents on the mountain, but around the hotels is ok.

10. Hot spring is very popular for visitors. Please remember some important information as below: 1) Do not swim in the hot water springs if you have high blood pressure, heart diseases without prior consultation of doctors; 2) Not suitable for pregnant women; 3) Don not bathe if you are unwell and hungry; 4) Accommodation is available near the hot springs.

11. Take a cable car is available to make your trip to the top of the mountain easier but there are still lots of steep narrow stairs on the mountain if you plan to get the most out of you time. Please take care when climbing and trying to get the best photo opportunity.

12. If you are fit, trained and have very comfy shoes and want to hike the mountain instead of taking cableways. Please walk up the eastern steps (4 to 5 hours), which is maybe a little less scenic but far less crowded and much shorter than the steeper, jam-packed western steps. Walking down the western steps it will take you 6-7 hours. If you are not fit take the cableways - it is a really long, hard, incessant walk up the mountain.
