Development and construction of Anhui Huangshan Global Geopark

In January 1963, the Huangshan Scenic Area Forest Protection Work Conference was held to once again delineate the mountain boundaries of the scenic area.

In July 1988, the Ministry of Construction approved the implementation of the "Huangshan Scenic Area Master Plan" with the in-principle consent of the State Council.

In June 1999, Huangshan Tourism Group Co., Ltd. was established.

On June 5, 2012, the Huangshan Global Geopark was unveiled at the "Huangshan Global Geopark Science Education Base" at Tangkou Central School. In November 2011, the 77th session of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) approved the application for membership of Huangshan Scenic Area, becoming the first Chinese (scenic area) tourist destination and world heritage site in the international organization (Huangshan Number: AF/ 25250).

On October 20, 2013, Huangshan was selected into the "Eleven Best Tourist Destination".
