Clothing

Don't forget to enough warm clothes and waterproofs (an umbrella can be inconvenient when climbing or unusable in the wind). Bring warm clothes and wear comfortable shoes with a good grip.

Food

The prices of food are around three times more expensive at the mountaintop hotels and shops. Food in hotels and restaurants is expensive, but the quality is often not as good as similarly priced dishes in the city. So we advise you to buy some convenient food at the foot of mountain.

Safety

Raincoat is useful when there happens wind and rain on the mountain. We advise you that don't  use an umbrella as it is inconvenient when the wind and rain is strong.

Watch your footing when climbing the steps and be careful when you are taking photos. Particularly watch your step because sometimes there is snow or ice on the ground. Please stop walking if you want to take pictures.

smoking is not allowed on the mountain, except in the smoking areas.

Please be far away the  monkeys on the mountain and  Don't give them food in front of them.

Medicine

Tourists who have asthma, high blood pressure, heart problems or other health conditions should bring along enough medicine in case of emergency. We advise you that don't  travel alone because sometimes there is a unseen health risk.

There are hospitals in Huangshan CIty, 70 km (40 miles) from the foot of the mountains. If you have serious symptoms, the sedan chair service and cable cars to get down the mountain and to a hospital would give you a big help. There is no special medical center on the mountain, so don't forget to listen the voice of your body.

Banks

There is A Bank of China branch inside Yellow Mountain Scenic Area. We advise you to download Translation App in case bank staff cannot speak English. A cash point can be found at North Sea Hotel.
