Where is Huangshan Mountain?

Introduction:

Huangshan Mountain is one of China's famous scenic spots and a world tourist attraction, located in Huangshan City, southern Anhui Province. The main peak, Lotus Peak, is 1864.8 meters above sea level. Huangshan is located in the subtropical monsoon climate zone. Due to the high mountains and deep valleys, the climate changes vertically. At the same time, due to the large difference in sunlight radiation between the north slope and the south slope, the local topography plays a dominant role in its climate, resulting in climate characteristics of more clouds and fog, high humidity and precipitation.

Huangshan has it all. Xu Xiake, a traveler and geographer in the Ming Dynasty, visited Huangshan twice and exclaimed: "There are no mountains in the world when you climb Huangshan, and you can't stop looking at it!" He also left a reputation as "You don't see the mountains when you return from the Five Mountains, and you don't see the mountains when you return from Huangshan." It can be said that there are no peaks without rocks, no rocks without pines, and no pines without wonders. It is famous for its four wonders: strange pines, strange rocks, sea of ??clouds, and hot springs. Its two lakes, three waterfalls, sixteen springs and twenty-four streams complement each other. The scenery in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter is different.
