After reading about the Mt. Huangshan, it seems that weather can be an issue. In order to avoid heavy fog or rain, when is it best to visit the Yellow Mountain?
Asked by Joan (Nov.20, 2018)

Trip Advisor (Nov.20, 2018) replied:
Hello Joanne, this question is a little difficult to answer, since Huangshan rains 200+ days out of 365. Relatively speaking, it rains less in July and August each year, but it could change anytime remember.
