Huangshan (Yellow Mountain)
Anhui Province
April/May 2017
A UNESCO World Heritage sight - Mount Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) is stunning. Quintessentially chinese scenes - mist, lone pines, craggy peaks, cloud encrusted valleys, tranquil waters. If that is not enough, the surrounding ancient villages provide a fascinating insight into the Ming and Qing dynasties.
