Huangshan-the World Heritage Site

Huangshan-the World Heritage Site
 
There is a mountain in China, which is noted worldwide because of its beauty and precipice. Many ancient poets have written loads of masterpieces about this mountain. Even it can be a comparable figure to other five most famous mountains in China, which is called Wuyue. It's just Huangshan.

Huangshan is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China.
Huangshan was formed approximately 100 million years ago and gained its unique rock formations in the Quaternary Glaciation. The range composed of material that was uplifted from an ancient sea during the Mesozoic era, 100 million years ago; the mountains themselves were carved by glaciers during the Quaternary. Vegetation on the range is thickest below 1,100 meters (3,600 ft), with trees continuing until 1,800 meters.
 
The area is well known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly shaped granite peaks, Huangshan Pine trees, and views of the clouds from above. Huangshan is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations.
 
Physical features for which Huangshan is known include sunrises, pine trees, strangely jutting granite peaks, and views of clouds touching the mountainsides on more than 200 days out of the year.
The Huangshan pine is named after Huangshan and is seen as an example of vigor because the tree does not take root in soil, but in rocks. Many of the area's pine trees are more than a hundred years old and have been given their own names. The pines vary greatly in shape and size, with the most crooked of the trees being considered the most attractive.
 
Furthermore, Huangshan's moist climate facilitates the growing of tea leaves,and the mountain has been called "one of China's premier green tea-growing mountains. Mao feng cha ("Fur Peak Tea"), a well-known local variety of green tea, takes its name from the downy tips of tea leaves found in the Huangshan area. The mountaintops often offer views of the clouds from above, known as the Sea of Clouds or Huangshan Sea because of the clouds' resemblance to an ocean, and many vistas are known by names such as North Sea or South Sea. One writer remarked on the view of the clouds from Huangshan as follows:  To enjoy the magnificence of a mountain, you have to look upwards in most cases. To enjoy Mount Huangshan, however, you've got to look downward.
 
Now, having at least 140 sections open to visitors, and Huangshan is a major tourist destination in China. Please be ease, you can enjoy hotels, restaurants and other facilities at the top of the mountain. Because they are serviced and kept stocked by porters who carry resources up the mountain on foot.
