Spring
Huangshan has its seasonal good points all year round. In April the average temperature on Mt. Huangshan is 10C (50F). Flowers, trees and grasses emerge, making Spring in the Yellow Mountains among the best seasons to visit Mt. Huangshan.
Summer
Summer time is the tourist high season. On the mountain, Summer is cool and tranquil in cloudy weather, but beware, you may still get burnt when the clouds clear. The wettest months are May through to August, with 300mm or more of rain each month. This makes Summer the best time to enjoy the Sea of Clouds, one of the famous four features of the mountain (the other three are the oddly-shaped pines, grotesque rocks and hot springs). For safety reasons during Summer thunderstorms visitors are not permitted to hold umbrellas as the wind may catch them and cause falls down the mountain. Raincoats are preferable.
Autumn
The climate is most comfortable and the scenery is stunningly beautiful in Autumn. Yellow Mountain is one of the best places to enjoy Autumn foliage in China, looking down on the deciduous trees of the ravines and valleys. The pines of course retain their verdant needles. The first week of October is another high season, being a national holiday, so Huangshan is more crowded and it costs a bit more to travel and stay at hotels.
Winter
Many tourists recommend the Winter landscapes of Mt. Huangshan as the most spectacular. Winter, the longest of the four seasons, is chilly without being severe, though it can be freezing up on the mountain and spectacular snow-scapes are seen every year. It’s the low season, so the mountainside is less crowded and it is cheaper to travel. If you do go to Mt. Huangshan in Winter, bring warm clothes, preferably fleece or down.
Whatever the season, it is always wise to check the weather report the day before you climb.
The best time to visit Mt. Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) is in spring; the blooms of the exotic flowers decorate the hills and slopes with different colors and fragrance. In autumn, the mountains are beautifully decorated with red and purple blossoms while winter leaves the mountain covered with frost and ice with silver boughs and rocks around. Summer beautifies Mt. Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) with pine shades everywhere as the dashing waterfalls contrast with the crystal clear waters from the mountain streams.
