	Huangshan Mountain Profile
	Located in southern Anhui Province, Yellow Mountain covers an area of 250 kilometers, of which 154 square kilometers are scenic attractions. Its landscape features four wonders of imposing peaks, spectacular rocks, odd-shaped pines, and a sea of clouds. ¡¡Yellow Mountain boasts 72 peaks, more than 1,000 meters above sea level, with three main peaks rising majestically. They are both fascinating and dangerously steep. Cliffs, stone forests, stone pillars, stone blocks and egg-shaped stones form the unique granite geomorphologic scenery. The pines on the mountain are tall and have fascinating shapes. The famous Welcoming Guests (Yingke) Pine (1,500 years old) and See-Guest-Off Pine have become a symbol of being faithful, unyielding and hospitable. More than 200 days each year on Yellow Mountain are misty and cloudy. The vapors coagulate to form a sea of clouds. As the clouds cloak the mountain, they give a feeling of being in fairyland. Yellow Mountain has more than 400 famous scenic attractions of which 140 have been developed and opened to tourists. ¡¡¡¡In 1990, Yellow Mountain got enlisted on both the world cultural and natural heritage lists.
