Mt. Huangshan

Mt. Huangshan is famous for its fantastic pines, grotesque rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs and snow of winter. However, the weather was too good when I was there that there were few clouds, and no time to enjoy springs. Of course, it's not the right season to see snow. Maybe they could be left for next time.

The most famous pine tree on Mt. Huangshan should be the Welcoming Pine.

The Farewell Tree was also well-known. The former one died last year.

There were many beautiful pine trees. Their shapes were quite special and amazing, often growing in stocks.

The Lotus Peak was the highest peak, with a height of 6116 feet (1864 meters).

The Brightness Apex was only a little lower, with a height of 6102 feet (1860 meters). It's said to be a great place to see sunrise.

Thanks to these porters.
