Introduction:
Huangshan is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China. The range is composed of material that was uplifted from an ancient sea during the Mesozoic era, 100 million years ago. The mountains themselves were carved by glaciers during the Quaternary. Vegetation on the range is thickest below 1,100 meters (3,600 ft), with trees growing up to the treeline at 1,800 meters.

Get around.
There are no roads, buses or taxis on the mountain. You can use a cable car to reach the top but, once there, walking is the name of the game.
The walkways in Huangshan mountain area are properly engineered 2m wide paved paths. Handrails and parapets are done well, and that's a good thing because when you look over the side of some of these paths, you will see a long sheer drop. You'd better be willing to climb a lot of steps - there are said to be a total of 60,000 steps on the paths. You'll be sharing these paths with a lot of other people including many loud tour guides, but it is really worth while making the effort.
