The Yellow Mountain in China
FRIDAY, 25 JUNE 2010
The Yellow Mountain (aka Huangshan Mountain) is located in Huangshan City, south of Anhui province, China. The mountain range measures 40 kilometers long from north to south, and 30 kilometers wide from west to east. It occupies a total area of 1,200 square kilometers with a core area of 160.6 square kilometers. The mountain is so beautiful that the great ancient Chinese traveler Xuxiake, once said “When I have visited the Yellow Mountain, I don’t even wish to visit others.” Today, the mountain is known as one of the most photographed attractions in China.
The Yellow Mountain not only boasts of its various seas: sea of unique peaks, sea of clouds, sea of pines, sea of flowers, sea of rocks and sea of snow (in Winter)...but the magnificent sunrise and sunset. Most tourists who come here are amazed at their grand beautifulness and captured by the mountain's five wonders: clouds, odd pines, grotesque rocks, springs and magnificent sunrise.
"Mt. Huangshan is picturesque all the year round", as the Chinese saying goes. It is winter, however, where the most incredible natural spectacle occurs: peaks, odd pines, grotesque rocks covered by snow, they show their dramatic shapes; after drizzle, trees are covered with rime; sun rise from the sea of clouds and set in the snow world reflecting rosy clouds; vapors curling up from the springs.
For landscape enthusiasts throughout the world, Huangshan is always the final frontier they dream of exploring and getting acquainted with. Indeed, landscape tour packages (visit http://www.chinafacttours.com/huangshan/index.html for details) for Huangshan Mountain seem to be the flavor of the season with tourists making a beeline for them.
