HuangShan - a photo on Flickriver

HuangShan

            The horizontal take of the same HuangShan jutted peak posted a few days ago. 

HuangShan or literally meaning Yellow Mountain is a  mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China. The area is known for its peculiarly shaped jutting granite peaks which is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of China's Major tourist destinations. 

The area is well known for its scenery, peculiarly shaped granite peaks, precariously clinging pine trees on granite rocks, and views of clouds floating and drifting in and out of the mountain peaks. 

The Huangshan mountain range has many peaks, some more than 1,000 meters (3,250 feet) high. The three tallest and best-known peaks are Lotus Peak (Lianhua Feng, 1,864 m), Bright Peak (Guangming Ding, 1,840 m), and Celestial Peak (Tiandu Feng, literally Capital of Heaven Peak, 1,829 m). The World Heritage Site covers a core area of 154 square kilometres and a buffer zone of 142 square kilometres. The mountains were formed in the Mesozoic, approximately 100 million years ago, when an ancient sea disappeared due to uplift. Later, in the Quaternary Period, the landscape was shaped by the influence of glaciers.
