Mt.Huangshan, also called YellowMountain is regarded the most beautiful mountain in China.There is a saying from ancient time "After returning from MountHuangshan, there is no need to see other mountains."Mt.Huangshan is ancient scrolls of Chinese landscape painting. It is also the paradise for the photographers. It is famous for distinct peaks, magnificent rocks, odd-shaped pines and a sea of clouds. Mt.Huangshan, as one of the great symbol of China that has been listed as a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site.
As beautiful as HuangshanMountain is, there is much more to offer visitors than just the mountain. Nearby HuangshanCity, and the ancient villages of Hongcun and Xidi are not to be missed sites on anybody's itinerary to China, which also have both been listed on UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List.
The two traditional villages of Xidi and Hongcun preserve to a remarkable extent the appearance of non-urban settlements of a type that largely disappeared or was transformed during the last century. Their street plan, their architecture and decoration, and the integration of houses with comprehensive water systems are unique surviving examples.
