On 22nd February, Huangshan Scenic Area in Anhui Province was hit by heavy snowfall. Due to ice accumulation, the mountain trails became extremely slippery, turning the steps into makeshift slides. Several tourists lost their footing on the icy stairs, creating a dangerous situation.

Video footage captures the terrifying moment when a tourist lost control after slipping, sliding uncontrollably down the path and crashing into others before being flung off the steps. Another unfortunate tourist, after being hit, slid headfirst down the icy stairs, only coming to a stop after colliding with a railing.

The Huangshan Scenic Area Management Committee responded, confirming that some tourists sustained minor injuries but were promptly treated and taken care of. Authorities have since temporarily closed severely icy paths and placed warning signs to alert visitors. Official safety advisories have also been issued, urging tourists to wear crampons and non-slip hiking boots and to exercise extreme caution while navigating snow-covered trails.
