The Scenic Spot of the Hot
Springs
The Huangshan Tourist
Reception Center is near the Hot Springs. The major
tourist attractions here are: the Baizhang Spring, the
A-shaped Waterfall, the Peach Blossom Stream, the spring
where Li Bai washed his wine cup, the Sword-Testing
Stone, the Tipsy Stone, etc. The water of the hot spring
can be used either for drinking or for taking a bath,
which can do good to health and achieve medical
results.
The Scenic Spot of the Cloud Valley
Monastery
The Cloud Valley Monastery
tucks in the quiet vallleys at the foot of the Alms Bowl
Peak near the Nine Dragon Waterfall and the one
thousand-year-old Yiluo Pine. Here is also the starting
point of the cableway from the Cloud Valley Monastery to
the White Goose Ridge.
The Scenic Spot of the North
Sea
The Spot is a wonderful place which
attracts tourists most. The Cooling Platform halfway up
the Lion Peak is the best place for enjoying the cloud
sea and sun rising; the grotesque scenery of the
Begin-to-Believe Peak often makes tourists "begin to
believe" that Mount Huangshan is the most grotesque one
on earth. There are lots of strange pine trees and odd
rocks here, such as the Black Tiger Pine, the Loving
Couple Pine, and many other scenes like "the
Flower by a Dreaming Pen", "Two Celestials Playing
Chess", and "the Eighteen Arhats Facing the South
Sea".
The Scenic Spot of the West
Seas
In the spot you can see
the Twin Bamboo Shoots Peaks, the Dagger Peak and the
Stone Bed Peak, and the scenes like "the Celestial
Putting His Boots in the Sun", "the Fairy Doing
Embroidery", "Wu Song Beating the Tiger" and so on. You
can also see the Stone Flown from Afar, just like a
fairy peach perched on the top of the peak. The Paiyun
Pavilion here is the ideal place to enjoy the cloud sea,
the sun-setting sight, the grotesque peaks and odd
rocks.
The Scenic Spot of the Jade
Screen
The Jade Screen Hotel,
perching itself on a towering peak, has always been
called "the Palace on the Fairyland". The three leading
peaks (the Bright Peak, the Lotus Peak and the Heavenly
Capital Peak) are situated nearby. Of the three peaks,
the Heavenly Capital Peak is the steepes and most
precipitous one. Two famous pines, the Greeting Pine and
the Fare-well Pine, stand respectively before and after
the Jade Screen Hotel.
The Scenic Spot of the Pine Valley
Nunnery
This is a
10-kilometre-long valley, with abundant fauna and flora.
The Jadeite Pool lying between the Lotus Ridge and the
Pillow Peak as green as a jadeite. The splashing drops
of water are as bright as pearls, thus bringing you
great pleasure. The second cableway to the North Sea is
just in this spot.
The Scenic Spot of the White Cloud
Brook
The place is elegant and tranquil.
Here you can see all kinds of waterfalls and limpid
ponds. It is a good place for visitors to appreciate the
water sight of Huangshan.
Huangshan in
Winter
Mt. Huangshan is beautiful in all
seasons, but the winter scene on it is distinctively
marvellous. There is a lot of snow there. The trees are
clean and crystal with ice, the mountains are covered
with the silver dress, and a colourful and glazed world
will fully present itself before your eyes.
Four Unique Attractions
of Mt. Huangshan
Queer Pines: Growing everywhere on peaks, the green
pines of Huangshan are ancient and sinewy, grotesque in
shape and displaying a variety of exquisite beauties in
pose. When looking at the pines with different postures,
visitors are bound to marvel at such delicate handiwork
of nature.
Grotesque Rocks: Mount Huangshan boasts lots of grotesque
rocks with various shapes. All these rocks are vivid in
their respective image representation and full of
vitality. Looking at the variety of the extraordinary
poses these rocks assume, you are sure to be struck by
the beauty of the oddly shaped rocks. Cloud
Seas: Mount Huangshan has a mystical glamour
for its spectacular sea of clouds all the year round.
When the sea of clouds is formed it is very magnificent
and stretching to horizon. The great waves of mists and
clouds sometimes surge high with momentum of an
avalanche, and somtimes they keep still just like
another heaven. Hot Springs: The water constantly
at temperature of 42°C is particularly limpid. It is a
rare spring of carbonated type with remarkable curative
effect on diseases of dermatitis, arthritis and nervous
system
The Passenger Cableways
of Huangshan
The first cable way from
the Cloud Valley Temple to the White Goose Ridge is
2,800 metres long. The second cableway from the Pine
Valley Nunnery to the Pine Forest Peak and the third
cableway from the Ciguang Pavilion to the Jade Screen
Hotel will be put into operation before 1997. When the
time comes, visitors will get the view of the whole
Huangshan with ease.
