Safety and Healthcare
Sight-seeing: Doing sight-seeing while walking can easily distract your attention. So you are supposed to follow such principles: no walking while sight-seeing and no sight-seeing while walking; never miss the important scenic spots and never linger in the less important ones.
Climbing: The roads in the hills are zigzag and tortuous. You'd better wear skidproof hiking boots or sneakers while climbing. Most of the roads in Huangshan are steps and ropeways and most of them are very dangerous. When climbing up, you are supposed to lean forward; when descending down the mountain, you should walk slowly. Don't bring too many things with you. You can check your luggage in the hotels at the foot of the mountain. It's quite windy in Huangshan. In summer, you can easily bump into rains or thunderstorms. In this case, you're not supposed to go climbing. Don't touch the iron chains, stay under the trees or hold up an umbrella in rainy days.
Clothing: The temperature in the mountain is 10℃ lower than that in the downtown area. Besides, sunlight is quite intense in the mountain. So you'd better prepare a hat and some clothes that can protect you from the sun. It's difficult for you to locate a hotel with available rooms if you want to stay on the top of the mountain overnight in the peak season. Sometimes it's even difficult for you to rent a coat. In this case, a raincoat is quite necessary. Though it can't protect you from the wind as effectively as a cotton-padded coat, it is way better than a sweater or a jacket. In addition, it rains a lot in Huangshan. In summer, it rains more frequently. As it's windy and the roads are precipitous in many peaks, visitors are not allowed to hold up umbrellas. Under this circumstance, raincoats are more essential for you!
Healthcare: High blood pressure patients and cardiac patients should bring some medicines in case of emergency. They are not supposed to walk alone. The old and the young should be under the company of their families.
Outpatient services are available in Beihai Hotel and Yuping Mansion. Stretchers are available if you have difficulty walking down the mountain. If an emergency should happen, there is a hospital at the foot of the mountain.
