Huangshan 5-Year Transformation Trip｜170→130 lbs! Walking Down the Mountain Without Getting Out of Breath

Who would have thought! Returning to Huangshan after 5 years, the change surprised even myself 😭
From a burden holding others back to a mountain climber walking briskly, this trip was totally worth it!

🌤️ One day to experience three kinds of beauty in Huangshan, luck was off the charts!
At the foot of the mountain in the early morning, I was worried that a hoodie + 2 T-shirts + arm sleeves wouldn’t be warm enough, afraid of freezing like a 🐶
But once I started climbing, the sunshine blessed me, the green mountains looked charming, and the stone steps gleamed
In the afternoon, suddenly thick fog rolled in, covering the sky and sun, instantly entering a fairyland
When descending, the sunshine reappeared, golden scales shimmered on the mountain ridges, every snap was wallpaper-worthy!

💡 Hiking Tips to Avoid Pitfalls
✅ No need to wear too thick! You get super hot when moving, layering makes it easy to add or remove
✅ Choose the Yuping Cableway direction for walking down, the steps are gentle and the scenery is great
✅ Bring some energy bars + an empty water bottle, you can get hot water on the mountain to lighten your load
✅ If you want to capture the sea of clouds, don’t oversleep, early morning and evening have the highest chances

Clouds leave the mountain without a care, birds tired of flying know to return
It turns out the best scenery is not only at the peak of Huangshan but also in your own transformation ☁️
