Preparing for Huangshan

by SLLiew

Avoid brnging heavy luggage to Huangshan.

Steps even on top of Huangshan are narrow and steep and crowded with tourists.

Porters are available but will cost you an arm and a leg. It can rain or turn windy and cold.

So be prepared depending on which season you are going to Huangshan.

In summer, sunblock will prevent burns. Everything is much more expensive up the Huangshan. Walking sticks, raincoat, torchlight are essential items

A map of Huangshan will be helpful and a nice souvenir.

Upon arrival, you will find sellers of raincoat or recycled walking sticks.

The Cloud Valley Hotel (Yun Gu Shan Zhuang). We did not stay in this hotel. We wished we had. While we were waiting to the cable ride to go up, we walked around in this hotel. This is a very good architecture design incorporating the traditional Chinese architecture philosophy, the local Hui style, and modern comfort. It is located at the beginning of the Yun Gu Cable station. So it is a good starting point. If you need detail information, Lonely Planet tourbook has it, or write to me, I will find out for you. We do not know the quality of service though.
