The Yellow Mountain, located in the southern part of Anhui Province, is China’s most celebrated mountain for all its grandeur and beauty. In 1990 the Yellow Mountain was declared a World Natural and Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO Heritage Committee. The Yellow Mountain is a marvel: within an area of 154 square kilometers there is a crowd of peaks, many of which have names indicating the shapes they resemble. Lotus, Brightness Apex and Celestial Capital are the three major ones, all rising above 1,800 meters. When it is cloudy the pinnacles loom in mists as if they were illusionary, while the sun is shinning they unfold in all their majesty and splendour. The fantastic pines, the grotesque rocks, the sea of clouds and the hot springs are the four major attractions of the Yellow Mountain.
