Weather: The weather turns cold and dry in October, and it is one of the best months to tour weatherwise. There is beautiful fall foliage, relatively mild temperatures, and relatively low rainfall. The mountains and landscapes are dressed especially beautifully in the fall.

The average nightly low temperature is 7 °C (45 °F), and the average daily high temperature is 13 °C (55 °F). The three main 1,800m+ peaks are about a kilometer higher than the lower regions of Huangshan and 6+°C (11+°F) colder.

The UV index is  high when it is sunny, and it is sunny about five hours a day on average. The relative humidity is 71% on average.

An average rainfall of about 111 mm is recorded in October, and there is rainfall about 11 days of the month. The Yellow Mountains weather forecast>>

The famed 'sea of clouds' is caused by the warm moist air from the ocean rising up the slopes and cooling.

Clothing: We recommend light layers to adapt to changing conditions. Remember to take rain gear.
