Map of Huangshan
 Of
all the notable mountains in China, Mount Huangshan, to be found
in the south of Anhui province, is probably the most famous. Originally
known as Mt. Yishan it was renamed Mt. Huangshan in 747 AD in recognition
of the legendary Huang Di, who was the reputed ancestor of the Chinese
people and who made magic pills for immortality here.
Wu yue is the collective name given to China's
most important mountains, namely Mt. Taishan in Shandong Province,
Mt. Huashan in Shaanxi Province, Mt. Hengshan in Shanxi Province,
Mt. Songshan in Henan Province and Mt. Hengshan in Hunan Province.
It is said that you won't want to visit any other mountains after
seeing wu yue but you won't wish to see even wu yue after returning
from Mt. Huangshan. This saying may give you some idea of the beauty
and uniqueness of Mt. Huangshan. Together with the Yellow River,
the Yangtze River and the Great Wall, Mt. Huangshan has become one
of the great symbols of China.
Mt. Huangshan can boast not only of its magnificence
but also its abundant resources and great variety of zoological
species, for which it has been listed as a World Natural and Cultural
Heritage Site.
