A spontaneous trip to climb Huangshan! It’s really tiring, but totally worth it!

🕶️Bring goggles for Huangshan travel: The sunlight on Huangshan is especially strong, so it’s recommended to bring goggles or sunglasses! Bought at a small shop at the foot of the mountain for 15 yuan! —————————————————— 1. Preparation before the trip 🇦Documents: ID card is a must; students and seniors should bring their respective certificates (tickets are half price). 🇧Clothing: There is a big temperature difference at the summit, so bring a jacket regardless of the season; wear non-slip sports shoes and knee pads are essential for hiking. 🇨Supplies: Bring enough water (2L per person) and snacks (energy bars, bread), as prices on the mountain are doubled; carry a backpack to free your hands. 2. Avoid pitfalls in the itinerary 🇦Transportation: After taking the high-speed train to Huangshan North, transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus to the mountain gate (about 1 hour), and check the last bus time in advance. 🇧Route: For a one-day trip, it’s recommended to take the cable car both ways to save time; full hiking requires 8-10 hours, so plan according to your ability. 🇨Tickets: Book in advance on the official platform one day before; during peak season (March to November), book 3 days ahead. ⚡️Tiandu Peak requires an additional reservation. When we went, Lotus Peak was closed, so pay attention to reservations! (Residents of Anhui can climb Huangshan for free in December; if you climb in November, January is also free.) 3. On-site precautions 🇦Safety: The steps are steep and slippery when wet; do not climb over railings; avoid undeveloped areas. 🇧Timing: To see the sunrise, start at 2-3 AM and check the sunrise time in advance; for a one-day trip, it’s recommended to enter the mountain before 7 AM. 🇨Others: Bring a power bank (charging stations are few on the mountain); wear quick-dry clothes (sweat won’t stick to your body).
