What is the best time to visit Huangshan?
The Yellow Mountains are the real sites suitable for travel all year round. Actually many Chinese would like to visit it for four times to enjoy its different charms. No matter in which season you are planning to visit, you won't be disappointed. However winter is believed to be the season with more possibility for viewing the sea of clouds. Do remember to avoid all holidays in China, e.g. May Day Holiday (May 1 to May 3) and National Holiday (October 1 to October 7).
How to visit Huangshan and how long should I stay?
Use cable cars for ascending and descending the mountain. Round-trip cable cars are available. We don't recommend you hike all the way but just hike for the real essence of the Yellow Mountains, unless you are totally physically prepared for that.
Hire a local English-speaking guide. Nearly nobody speaks English on the mountain, which means you should never waste your precious time on useless asking for information or directions. Road signs are not very clear to foreigners. It will be easier and makes the trip more enjoyable with a local guide knowing the way well and foreigners' way well.
Make sure you are up for the sunrise or sunset, so quit the idea of taking a day trip. Though the chance of viewing the sunset or sunrise is slim at some time, at least you should make a try. And spending one night on the mountain will help your trip more enjoyable. You won't want to rush for the time and ruin the trip.
Three days and two nights are recommended for a first-timer. Usually we recommend our customers stay one night at downtown Huangshan City for rest and Tunxi Old Street. Leave the heavy luggage at paid storage in the hotel, which our guide will ask the hotel to take care of it. Then head for the mountain trip for 2 days and 1 night, including visiting a local ancient village near the Yellow Mountains.
