| Huangshan Mount Huangshan, towering between Taiping and Shexian counties in Anhui Province, is one of the most famous scenic spots in China, and perhaps the world. View [url=http://asialimo.com/ With a circumference of 250 kilometers, it consists of 72 distinct peaks, the highest being Lotus Flower (Lianhua) Peak (1,800 meters). Mount Huangshan is every scenic mountain rolled up in one -- it is as lofty as Mount Taishan, as precipitous as Mount Huashan and as charming as Mount Emei. It can be blanketed in clouds like Mount Hengshan and has clliffiside springs like those of Mount Lushan. Xu Xiake (1586-1641), the well-known geographer of the Ming Dynasty, extolled the beauty of Mount Huangshan in these words: "It is not worth seeing other mountains of you have been to the Five Great Mountains; and it is not worth seeing the Five Great Mountain if you have been to Huangshan." Places: Shuguang (Morning Glory) Pavilion; Qingliang (Cool) Platform; Shizi (Lion) Peak; Danxia (Red Cloud) Peak; Shixin (Beginning-to-Believe) Peak; Qishi (Chess and Rock) Peak; Gongyang (Merciful Light) Mountain; Guangming (Bright Light) Peak; Bai'e (White Goose) Range; Shisun (Stone Bamboo Shoot) Peak; Yuping (Jade Screen) Peak; Lianhua (Lotus Flower) Peak and Tiandu (Celestial Capital) Peak |
