My Visit to Huangshan Mountain

Huangshan Mountain
Spring is my best season and I always love to go out in this lovely time and have a visit to the natural beauty all over the world. This Easter holiday, I went to Huangshan Mountain, China and had a really amazing time there!
The first day when I came to Shanghai, I was met by my guide Linda at Pudong Airport. Then we drove to Huangshan Mountain and Linda gave me a brief introduction of the famous mountain. It is especially known for its grotesque pine trees growing in the crevices of rocks and oddly-shaped rocks that emerge in the sea of clouds. And it is also one of the most famous five mountains in China.

On arrival of Mt. Huangshan, we have a short rest and started our Huangshan tour. As we initially climbed the mountain, we came across stunted pine trees contorted into curious shapes. What's more amazing is that these gnarled trees sprout from rocks that are just as oddly shaped. Many artists such as painters and poets have composed lots of paintings and poems for this natural wonder. I was amazing to see the wonderful pine trees shaping like a people welcoming tourists come to visit Huangshan Mountain.
When we reached the top of Mt. Huangshan, we have luckily enjoyed the amazing sea of cloud. The white cloud appeared on the waist of the high mountain just like a white waistband and the ancient interesting and pine trees in the cloud was like living in a wonderland. It was gorgeous!
After a whole day climbing, we enjoyed the relaxing hot spring in the hotel. It was really relieving to have a good bath and rest. So the next day we could begin our tours in a good spirit!
I really enjoyed the whole day visit to Huangshan Mountain and had also visited the ancient village around like Hongcun Village and Xidi Village.
