Huangshan Warnings Or Dangers Tips by SLLiew Top 5 Page for this destination

No smoking, no umbrella, no rubbish

!) Smoking is prohibited except in a few smoking designated spots. So do your part of preventing a fire caused by cigarettes which have destroyed part of Huangshan before. Instead breathe the fresh air...

2) Do not carry umbrellas as the path is narrow and you may hit or blocked other passing tourists. Also umbrella can be blown away by a sudden gust of wind. Only the experienced tour guide is seen carried an umbrella to keep the group together.

3) If you see the old men carrying all the material up and carrying all the rubbish down the steep mountain steps every day, I am sure you would not want to waste anything up there or throw any rubbish inconsiderately.

Keep Huangshan beautiful and natural for everyone who is visiting or will visit in the future.

Weather can be unpredictable

Be prepared that weather can change. It was August, I was told to have a cap and strong sun screen lotion to avoid sun burn but it started to rain and become misty when I was there.

Yet, it was a surreal experience to see Huangshan in this weather. Disposal raincoats are available for less than two yuan.

Recycled walking sticks are resold at only two yuan, it is very helpful and brought mine back as a souvenir.
