The Four Wonders of Huangshan

Huangshan has long been known as the "No. 1 mountain in China" and is famous for its strange pines and strange rocks. It is world-famous for its four wonders: sea of ??clouds, sea of ??clouds and hot springs.

Fantastic Pines

Pine trees are all over the world, and they are not the only things seen in Huangshan Mountain. There are so many pine trees in Huangshan Mountain that they are countless, so why are the pine trees named after "Huangshan Mountain"? According to Huangshan Chronicles: Huangshan has no peaks without rocks, no rocks without pines, and no pines without wonders. This sentence gives a very concise and accurate definition of Huangshan's extraordinary pine trees.

Huangshan is full of granite. Hard granite is used by us to make foundation stones, pavements and bridges. Huangshan is composed of granite, but it can achieve "no stone but no loose", which is a miracle.

The seeds of Huangshan pine can be carried by the wind into the cracks of granite, where they will sprout, take root and grow. This kind of drilling ability is amazing.

The growth environment of Huangshan pine is very difficult, and the growth rate is extremely slow. The roots are generally several times longer than the trunk. A Huangshan pine that is less than one foot long is often hundreds or even hundreds of years old. The famous "Welcoming Pine" is a thousand years old.
