If you have been to China, you know that it’s almost crowded everywhere. \u00a0Since Yellow Mountain is one of the favorites of Chinese people, you can be assured that it is crowded everyday, rain or shine. \u00a0But, you still want to ask this question: how do I avoid the crowds … as much as possible? \u00a0As a Chinese, as somebody who has been to Yellow Mountain before, I also asked myself the same exact question.<\/p>\n
Here is my answer —- There is no way to avoid crowds, but there are ways to avoid large crowds!<\/strong><\/p>\n Rule No.1<\/strong> \u00a0 Do not join tour groups. \u00a0Yes you know the reasons.<\/p>\n Rule No.2<\/strong> \u00a0 Try climb up the mountain from the front side (\u6148\u5149\u9601), and try not to use the cable cars. \u00a0Most tour groups go from the back side (\u4e91\u8c37\u5bfa). \u00a0And to save time and energy, they always use the cable cars.<\/p>\n Rule No.3<\/strong> \u00a0 Visit the West Sea Canyon (\u897f\u6d77\u5927\u5ce1\u8c37), where the tour groups do not go. \u00a0Be assured that it is really worth going, even if you have to give up some other sites of interest!<\/p>\n Rule No.4<\/strong> \u00a0 Stay on the mountain, and enjoy the early morning and late afternoon (before tour groups come up, and after they are gone). \u00a0Plus, you may be lucky to catch a breathtaking sunrise or sunset!<\/p>\n Rule No.5<\/strong> \u00a0 Discover your own Yellow Mountain. \u00a0I mean, do not just look for those iconic sites, where are always packed with people. \u00a0For example, there is always a long line in front of the Welcome Pine Tree for photos. \u00a0In fact, there are so many things to see in Yellow Mountain! \u00a0Please do not ignore them!<\/p>\n We stayed two nights on the mountain. \u00a0If you are interested in our itinerary, please check out this overview post<\/a>\u00a0and Day 2 and Day 3 in details.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n X<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you have been to China, you know that it’s almost crowded everywhere. \u00a0Since Yellow Mountain is one of the favorites of Chinese people, you can be assured that it is crowded everyday, rain or shine. \u00a0But, you still want to ask this question: how do I avoid the crowds … as much as possible? … <\/p>\n
