Qinhuangdao taxis are regulated; use ride-hailing apps for attractions. 2. Huangshan’s sea of clouds often appears after rain—don’t trust the forecast blindly. 3. Pack windproof jackets! Summit temps are 5-8°C lower than forecast. 4. Try Hui-style fermented tofu cautiously (the flavor isn’t for everyone).
