Don't say you've seen the mountains until you've seen Huangshan. It may sound overbearing, but I agree.

Huangshan is located in Anhui Province, and is a registered World Heritage Site, known for its unique scenery, with the highest peak being the Lotus Peak at 1,864m. It is said that the name comes from the legendary Chinese king, Yellow Emperor, and many literati have visited the mountain since ancient times. It is a famous mountain since ancient times, as the saying goes, ``You must not see a mountain without seeing Huangshan.'' As you can see in the photo, you can enjoy strange rocks and pine trees in a world of ink painting. Among them, the flying stones are famous, and I did a hike around the stone, which looks like it might fall at any moment, and the appearance changes completely depending on the direction you look at it. I couldn't see the first sunrise of 2011 because it was cloudy, but the last sunset of 2010 was simply magnificent. Huangshan is high at 1,800m, but you can take a special bus to the middle of the mountain, and then a ropeway to the 7th and 8th stations, so start from there. The road is well maintained, but the terrain is rough, so you need to prepare for hiking. When I went in January, there was still snow left, so I bought crampons at the foot of the mountain and used them. It takes about 3 hours from Shanghai to Huangshan North Station, and then about an hour to the foot of the mountain. I didn't have to wait to board the private bus on this trip, but I heard that you usually have to wait quite a while.
