About Yellow Mountain

Recognized as Heritage World Site by UNESCO, Yellow Mountain is one of the most beautiful chains of rocky peaks in the Anhui Province, Eastern China. The unique beauty and mystical feel are very much like you would find in a fantastical world characterized by oddly - shaped pines, Buddhist Temples and mysterious conglomerates of air making clouds look like they were made of soft and delicious cotton candy. A stunning natural giant, this World acclaimed site, holds incomparable beauty which, according to visitors, is an -all- natural show that should not be missed.

Tips

  • Bring a daypack for mountain walking and things for a day or two's stay at mountain hotels in a backpack. 
  • The rest (cases, etc.) should be left at a hotel in Huangshan City or at the bottom of the mountain.
  • Even if you take a taxi and cable car up the Yellow Mountains, you would still need to walk about an hour from the cable car station to your hotel.
  • You could pay a porter to carry luggage for you, but it is not cheap: about 150 yuan per case.
  • Bring along waterproofs, layers of warm clothes, a windproof lightweight layer, a change of clothes, high-calorie snacks, plenty of drinks, a map for reference and a camera. 
  • In summer, use sun protection as it is easy to get burnt on the mountain.
  • Pack waterproof bags for anything that shouldn't get wet as it can rain frequently.
  • Comfortable trainers with a cushioned sole (with a change of footwear in case they get soaked) should be sufficient in summer.
  • Waterproof walking boots/ snow boots with crampons (hireable at the mountain) are recommended in the winter when there is likely to be snow.
  • The steps may be treacherously slippery in the winter and some areas are restricted access for safety reasons.
