For a more peaceful way to enjoy the scenery of the Yellow Mountains, China Highlights recommends the circuit through the West Sea Canyon , with its less frequented trails and spectacular views. It's a good place to discover the Yellow Mountains. Every year from December till April, West Sea Canyon is closed to tourists because of snow and maintenance. The cable car takes 10 minutes to Jade Screen Pavilion. This saves 1 hour 15 minutes of walking.
Jade Screen Pavilion is an excellent viewing spot. This peak is a steep climb, but the views and rock formations near the summit make it worthwhile. The busiest place in the Yellow Mountains must be around Greeting-Guest Pine, where tourists from all over China take it in turns to have their photo taken with this well-known tree.
The route from Jade Screen Pavilion to Bright Top is very busy in peak times , which makes the narrow paths slow going. Tour guides with megaphones interrupt the eerie stillness of the mountainside.
The path offers another diversion 1 hour 30 minutes off to the highest summit, Lotus Peak, before reaching Bright Top.
Along this path you can see Dawn Pavilion a popular place to see the sea of clouds and the dawn, so a good morning walk option , Refreshing Terrace and Monkey Watching the Sea a curious boulder perched on a ridge , on the way down to Pine Valley Nunnery.

There are three cable cars cableways with enclosed cars to take the time and effort out of the middle part of the climb to the summits, and minibuses that will take you as far as the cable car stations from the gates.
The prices for the 3 cableways Yungu, Yuping, and Taiping are the same. The one way price is: yuan per person one way. Every year during the low season from November till January of the next year, the three cable cars will take turn to stop operation for annual maintenance. Bring a daypack for mountain walking and things for a day or two's stay at mountain hotels in a backpack. The rest cases, etc. Even if you take a taxi and cable car up the Yellow Mountains, you would still need to walk about an hour from the cable car station to your hotel.
You will not like walking with cases, as there are lots of steps. You could pay a porter to carry cases for you, but it is not cheap: about yuan per case. We recommend waterproofs, layers of warm clothes, a windproof lightweight layer, a change of clothes, high calorie snacks, plenty of drinks, a map for reference and a camera.
In summer use sun protection as it is easy to get burnt on the mountain. Pack waterproof bags for anything that shouldn't get wet and put it all in a backpack. See Huangshan Weather. Footwear: Decent comfortable trainers with a cushioned sole with a change of footwear in case they get soaked should be sufficient in summer. The steps may be treacherously slippery in the winter and some areas are restricted access for safety reasons.
The price is higher for hotels on the mountains than in Huangshan City, but you pay for the location not the quality of the hotel. The accommodation is very basic.
