Yellow Mountain Packing list - What to Pack for A Huangshan Hiking Tour

Tourists can bring big baggage suitcases and travel bags when touring around in Huangshan City and store them in your hotels at the destination. However, your heavy, excessive, big baggage is highly recommended to store in the hotel or reliable places at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, because you will hike many stairs up and down the mountain. It would be a painful trial to carry those heavy burdens around. The best idea is take a light hiking backpack with necessities you will use during the overnight stay.

Besides, there are over 200 foggy and misty days on the mountain top. You need to check the seasonal weather and make preparation for the various kinds of climate conditions before departure.

Clothes: Take weather-appropriate & quick-drying clothes and dress in layers. Wear long sleeves in moderate spring and autumn, T-shirt and shorts in hot summer, warm and thick clothes, hat and scarf in frozen winter. Better wear a lightweight jacket in the early morning and late evening for it’s a bit of cold and windy.

Prepare extra underwear for change, because you will sweat in the day hiking.

Pack comfortable and clean pajamas or long underwear if you will stay overnight on the mountain.

There are plenty of concrete steps waiting for you on the Yellow Mountain. If you want a full exploration to all major scenic spots, that will count a larger number. Usually, you will hike several hours and even longer in a day, and food and drinks sells a higher price on the mountain top areas and taste not good, so better prepare sufficient supplement for your hiking travel based on your taste.

The best option is to take some high energy snacks, and a couple of bottles of water. You can also carry water filter, cups to get hot water in the hotel. Want to minimize your bag? You can buy extra supplies at a more expensive cost.
