Yellow Mountain and Old Village
Yellow Mountain aka Mt. Huangshan, listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990, is located in Southern Anhui Province. The Yellow Mountains are not so called because the mountains are yellow, but because the area was renamed after the legendary Yellow Emperor (Huang Di) in 747 AD. Its famous for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly-shaped granite peaks, Huangshan pine trees, hot springs, winter snow, and views of the clouds from above. During the two days trip you can enjoy the differnt view from differnt angles, and you might be lucky to see Buddha's Light which only appears a couple of times per month. Xu Xiake, a noted Chinese geologist in the Ming Dynasty, who visited the Yellow Mountains twice, left his praise in this quote "You don't need to see any more mountains after seeing 'the Five Mountains', and you don't need to see the other four mountains after seeing Huangshan "
After come down the bottom of Yellow Mountain you will have a relaxing walk around Lingshan old village, where it is rich in bamboo forest and every household are good at bamboo craft. You can give a try if there is a chance.
