I have climbed Huangshan in Winter about 16 yrs ago. And at that time, the cable car didn't work because the lines were frozen. So I attached dried grass soles to my trainers, bought a walking stick and walked up Huangshan from the base. It was cold and the small steps were covered with thick ice which made walking rather dangerous as it was easy to slip on the ice.I remembered the air being so fresh and the pine trees being so old and so beautiful.When I got right to the top near where my hotel was, I remembered it started snowing heavily.The next morning, the clouds in the sky formed a "cloud sea" around the peaks of the mountains. It is an amazing sight. Winter is definitely unforgettable in Huangshan.
