Time and space will compress in front of Huangshan. Huangshan is nature's pride, topping all other magnificent mountains of China. Chinese most outstanding ancient geologist Xu Xiake appraised it as "once you arrive at Huangshan, there won't be any other mountains in the world you still want to visit." Huangshan gains a worldwide reputation for its four wonders that are pine trees, peculiarly shaped granite peaks, sea of clouds and thermal spring. What's more, the Chinese local cultures are even more fascinating, including Anhui Cuisine, Hong Village, Xidi Village, Anhui ancestral temple for female and Jadeite Valley.

First reason to visit Mt. Huangshan: seventy-one peaks
Chinese most acclaimed ancient poet Li Bai once wrote: Huangshan is one thousand meters high with lotus surrounding its thirty-two peaks. Huangshan stretches for miles, among which, the area of the most essential part in Mt. Huangshan is up to 154 square kilometers. The most celebrated scenic spots are seventy-one peaks of Huangshang. Some of the peaks are cliffy; others are shapely. The three most widely known peaks are Celestial Capital, Lotus Peak, and Brilliant Top Mountain. All of the three peaks are at an elevation of 1, 800 meters. Huangshan is a must-go scenic spot in China.
Second reason to visit Mt. Huangshan: sea of clouds
Huangshan is not only a king of various peaks, but also the paradise of dream-like clouds. The most breathtaking scenery of Huangshan can only be enjoyed when you reach the highest peak, especially in a misty weather. Standing at the highest point of Huangshan, you will appreciate the gorgeous scenery of numerous lower peaks emerging in the clouds indistinctly. Countless pine trees in all kinds of odd shapes will float in the sea of clouds. Thousands of grotesque rocks compete against each other to prove their beauty. At twilight, the sky will be suffused with color of rosy clouds. These rosy clouds will create a fancy wall painting on the cliff of Mt. Huangshan. What an amazing mountain full of miracles and fantasies. Time to go!
