Mount HUANGSHAN - World Cultural and
Natural Heritage
HUANGSHAN, literally “Yellow Mountain” in
Chinese, is located in southern ANHUI Province in eastern China. It is a major
tourist destination in China, and listed by UNESCO as the “World Cultural and
Natural Heritage”. Since there will be millions of tourists visiting the
mountain, winter would be another choice for those who want a tranquil holiday.
Winter is also the best season for photographers to take pictures of
HUANGSHAN’s wonders – sunrises, pine trees, strangely jutting granite peaks,
and views of clouds touching the mountainsides.
As I mentioned, HUANGSHAN is also renowned
for its splendid cultures. Much of HUANGSHAN’s reputation derives from its
significance in Chinese art and literature. Here are the works that are painted
in a traditional way.
In addition, HONGCUN, literally “Great
Village” in Chinese, is near the southwest slope of HUANGSHAN. The village
became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. The architecture dating back to
the Ming and Qing dynasties are the best preserved in China. Scenes from the
film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” were filmed on location in HUNGCUN.
