hi all,

I’m travelling to the yellow mountains in a few weeks and am looking for your advice.

I have booked 4 nights at Baiyun hotel and 3 nights at Beihai hotel, I will use both as bases to explore the surroundings.

- Gear: I’m concerned a 16-35 + 24-120 + 70-200 might be too heavy to carry around all day. Which lenses would you recommend ?

- Luggage : I will have some luggage to carry to the hotel at the top, that I will try to keep light. Any porter option available ? Is a rolling luggage not an option ?

- Which photo spots would you recommend for sunrise / sunset / sea of clouds ?

Any other advice are recommended!

thanks!

Nicolas.

One thing to remember...... every step down equates to a step up.  Everything in the Yellow Mountains is steps - many, many steps.  I lost 12 pounds in the Yellow Mountains!
