April to November is the best period to Huangshan. Characteristics display changes through time at Huangshan. Spring is probably the most propitious season for visiting Yellow Mountain and is certainly the best time to view the many waterfalls due to the abundant precipitation. You can enjoy peaks which covered by plant and peaks with a green blanket when cooling breezes to sooth you in Summer. Autumn on the mountain is colorful due to the blue sky, white clouds, red maples and yellow fruits. And snowy Yellow Mountain is like a crystal palace.
