Introducing Yellow Mountain

It is also known as ‘‘Huangshan Mountain’’ in China. In fact, the colour of this mountain is not yellow, green is the colour of stunned pines attaching with purple cliff faces. It is named after some famous Chinese poetry and painting coupled with a Chinese romantic legend that has led to a hundred of thousands of people who are in love come to visit this mountain each year. Apart from its romantic side, this Yellow Mountain has been famous throughout Chinese artistic history. It is not only one mountain, but consisting of 36 separate peaks and rising over 5900 feet. Frequently shrouded in mist, the many peaks appear to float on white the sea of clouds and have very fancy names such as Bright Summit, Lotus Flower Peak, Celestial Capital, and Paint Brush. Especially, the jagged granite peaks clothed in uniquely shaped pine trees which create a spectacular landscape of great interest to both artists and photographers. The development of walking tracks and cable cars makes this landscape accessible to most active travellers to discover the beauty of Yellow Mountain. When hiking becomes too strenuous, you can treat yourself by staying at a hot spring resort located between Purple Cloud Peak and Peach Blossom Peak. The running hot water contains some natural mineral ingredients, which will keep your tiredness away by drinking or bathing in it.
