Climbing should be the most feared encounter with rainy days, but do you know? Climbing the famous Mount Huangshan, you actually have a 70% chance of encountering a rainy day. This high probability also comes from the fact that Mount Huangshan rains for most of the year, so does it affect climbing Mount Huangshan on a rainy day?
When it rains, the fog is very heavy, and basically nothing can be seen around, which doesn’t really affect climbing. Fortunately, it was sunny the next day, and we saw the sunrise. It is recommended to prepare raincoats, umbrellas are more troublesome. Also, it will be colder when watching the sunrise and sunset in the morning and evening, so you need to bring a thick coat. If you walk the whole journey, it will be very tiring, it is recommended to prepare some chocolates, Red Bull, etc. to supplement your energy. Also, if you walk, your knees will be very uncomfortable, you can bring some medicine for sprains, etc., and massage your knees at night.
Mount Huangshan in the rain is wet everywhere, and you may not be able to see the scenery, but if you are lucky, you can see the sea of clouds.
There is also a secret: in Mount Huangshan, the sea of clouds and sunrise cannot be had in one day. If there is a sea of clouds, you will not be able to see the sunrise and sunset, and on sunny days, you can see the sunrise and sunset, but you will definitely not see the sea of clouds.
Looking at the clouds from the West Sea
The scenery of Mount Huangshan on a rainy day is either beautiful or disappointing, it depends on your luck. If you are lucky, you can see a vast sea of clouds that ordinary people cannot see, and even the Buddha’s light; but if you are unlucky, there is only a thick mist.
Sometimes, heavy rain or thunderstorms in Mount Huangshan are actually a good thing. The sea of clouds in Mount Huangshan must be formed by rain or snow. Mount Huangshan without the sea of clouds and mist is like having no soul. If you come here and don’t see the ethereal sea of clouds, the viewing value of Mount Huangshan will be greatly reduced.
Mount Huangshan after the rain is clear and refreshing. All the way up and down the mountain, pine trees, bamboo forests, giant rocks, and the sea of clouds, all appear close and far, as if you are in a fairyland. The Buddha’s light after the rain is even more ephemeral and ever-changing, naturally formed, all magical and mysterious, making people marvel.
