Mountain
The
second-to-none mountain under Heaven is 260 kilometers south
of Hefei. Covering a total area of 1,200 square kilometers, of
which 154 sq. km are the main scenic area, the Huangshan
Mountain is famous throughout the world for its peculiar
pines, bizarre rocks, hot springs, and sea of clouds. The
summit of the mountain is 1,864 meters above sea level. In
China, there is an old saying about Huangshan Mountain, which
goes as "When someone returns from the Five Sacred
Mountains, one does not want to see any other mountains; but
if one returns from the Huangshan Mountain, one does not even
want to see the Five Sacred Mountains. The Huangshan Mountain
is one of the first national key scenic spot proclaimed by the
State Council, and in 1990, was placed in the list of
"the world natural and cultural heritage" by the
UNESCO..
