General Impression of Yellow Mountain

 

The sceneries of Yellow Mountain is a great attraction both to the Chinese and overseas tourist. It is one of the best and respected mountains by the people of China. Tourists visiting the national park will be told by the local guide that there are four main characteristics for fabulous scenes that have made it such a reputable mountain in China, even in the world.
1. Odd-gestured Pine
The aged pines take their roots deep in the rocky crevices and they display 1,001 postures. Among the 1,001 postures, Yingke Song (the Welcoming Guest Pine) is the most outstanding one. The pine growing on the cliff stretches its major branch like a host extending his arms welcoming guests to the mountain. Greeting Pine is at the Yuping Feng (Jade Screen Peak) on the western route.
2. Grotesque Rocks
Besides pines, the vivid-looking peak contours have impressed the visitors most. Among them, the famous ones are Feilai Shi (Flying Over Rock), Houzi Guan Hai (A Monkey Watching the Sea), Shiba Luahan Chao Nanhai (18 Arhats Facing the South Sea), and Xianren Chai Gaoqiao (Immortal Walking on Stilts).
However, all these grotesque rocks really need some imagination to make them a vivid name. Thus, having a guide along the way is indeed a good help as she or he will timely suggests what is what along the way. Besides the famous ones listed on the tour map, there are also a few smaller ones (some are just stones) that have great stories behind too. Most of them are deeply related to the Chinese legends and fairytales that you might have heard of from somewhere else.
3. Sea of Clouds
As the Mountains Range is high and dense with lush forest with a lot of rainfall all year round, it is well wrapped in misty clouds in all four seasons. Therefore, the Yellow Mountain enjoys a great reputation for its mist all year round. These seas of clouds are vast and misty, billowing and surging. It veils the valleys and mountains by showing only the peaks.
Many tourists, who have come to visit this mysterious mountain, always get intoxicated by the mist shrouding beautiful peaks while enjoying the mountainous scenes, sitting along the path.  
4. Hot Spring
The well-known Hot Spring flows steadily all year round and constantly keeps the temperature at 42ºC. The spring water is not only suitable for bathing but is also said to be effective in curing some skin diseases and the nervous system, due to its specific mineral elements.
