Generally speaking, Huangshan has two gates, namely the south gate and the north gate. South gate refers to tangkou. From the transfer center here, you can go up the hill to Ciguang Pavilion in the front hill and Yungu Temple in the back hill. The North Gate refers to Taiping in huangshan district. You can take a cableway here or walk up the mountain from Songgu Temple.
Generally, other vehicles are not allowed to enter Huangshan Scenic Area. You can only enter the scenic spot by taking the bus on the new national line (hereinafter referred to as Beijing suburb) in the scenic spot. Generally, you can take the bus on the New National Line to enter the scenic spot, and the one-way fare is 13 yuan/person. Of course, you can also charter the China bus on the New China Line, usually 50 yuan/car.
Most tourists live in the south gate (Tangkou) on the first day, then take the scenic bus to Qianshan and Houshan, and then take the cable car or walk up at Yungu Temple or Ciguang Pavilion.

Matters needing attention in Huangshan tourism:
1. When going up the mountain, it is best for tourists to go up the mountain lightly and take less luggage. So as not to consume a lot of physical strength and affect the mountaineering process.
2. Huangshan has a great climate change, with sunny and rainy days and changeable weather. You'd better take a raincoat when climbing the mountain. It's rainy and windy on the mountain, so it's not suitable for holding an umbrella.
3. It is best not to climb the peak in thunderstorm weather, especially to climb Tiandu Peak and Lotus Peak. Don't hold the chain with your hands, and don't take shelter from the rain under the tree to prevent danger.
4. When the temperature is low when going up the mountain at night and in the early morning, you can bring a sweater, and the scenic hotel also has a coat for rent.
5. It is best to wear a pair of comfortable hiking shoes, cloth shoes or sports shoes, and shoes with leather shoes or plastic soles are easy to slip. To be on the safe side, you can buy a bamboo pole or walking stick when climbing the mountain.
Huangshan Mountain is high and steep. Visitors had better walk slowly when climbing the mountain. Not too fast. When boarding a ship, you'd better go with each other and take care of each other.
7. When climbing a mountain, walk zigzag and lean forward slightly, which is labor-saving and relaxed.
