"The day turned out cooler than the last few days and I hiked from the cable car to the summit and then beyond till the reconstruction of the wall ended. The beer lady on the way down was a welcomed sight!" — jak5280 • May 21, 2017

"I took a taxi to Qiong Long Shan Dong Wu National Forest Park. I paid the 80 yam enter ace fee and headed up a path towards some thousand year old Taoist temples. From here I found a trail behind the temples and followed this along the ridge line until reaching a sign which I believe represented no cars or people (aka no trespassing). I circumvented this sign and found a dirt trail leading across the mountain but below the summit. Eventually I found a rocky clearing in the forest where I left the trail and made my way up the loose stones in the direction of the summit. The last 30ft or so was a difficult bush whack through rose bushes with thorns up some tricky rocks to the flat summit area. The true high point was a rock across he summit road. There were some goats and a dog on the top. I could see movement from people in the distance. I'm not sure if I technically was allowed to be up there, but I climbed the summit rock, took a selfie, then headed back down. I took the bus back to my hotel." — seancasserly • Nov 11, 2016

"Did a two day trip exploring the mountain and camped out in the forest on our own. Absolutely outstanding mountain! Trip Report and photos: http://dimitriosfan.com/2016/10/24/on-chinas-yellow-mountain/" — DimitriosFan • Jul 28, 2016

"Did the mountain in a two day trip from Shanghai. Pretty serene one, no one was there. Reached Shikuocun by public transport and started walking from there. Took the one from Liangzhai. This and the most of the trails are paved. There is a rock glacier along the route which can be used for a nice scramble so to break the monotony of the paved path. Camped near the top, right in the middle of a trail, due to no other space fit. Ascended to the peak next morning and down again.

"The mountain has changed over the years. Recognized as a very important, sacred mountain in Buddhism (there is a monastery near the top as well as several smaller temples and prayer areas) it used to require a 4 to 5 mile climb to the summit. While that is still an option, a cable car now runs to a station about 800 feet below the summit. The result is that a mountain that was once not frequently traveled is now one of the most visited attractions in Southern China. There were several thousand people on the mountain, and we had to wait three hours just to get in and on the trail. Hopefully this is not a view into the future of certain mountains in the US. An enormous amount of money is made by the park service or government by charging for entrance and the cable car, which the majority of people utilize. Of course, we chose to climb, which was a great experience. The humidity in this sub-tropical region is intense, and even though it was only 70 degrees with a bit of rain, we've never sweated so much! Like many mountains and trekking areas in this part of the world, a lot of the trail is ancient steps and stairs. The route has over 8,000 stone steps and is quite challeng..." — BryHong8 • Aug 15, 2015
