'Four Wonders of Huangshan'
The marvelous Huangshan Mountain is famed for its four unique scenes: Peculiarly-shaped granite rocks, ancient pines, mystical seas of clouds touching the mountainsides, and hot springs.
The bizarrely-shaped rocks in Huangshan are unique in shape and have the own distinct charms: Some resemble humans, and others resemble different kinds of animal.
Based on their distinctive appearances, over 120 rocks have been given creative and artistic names from historical fables, legends and poetry, such as "sleeping buddha," "flying-over rock" and "monkey watching the sea."
Visitors to the mountain may see various real or mythical creatures in these wondrous rock formations.
Seas of clouds have contributed much to the ethereal atmosphere of the Huangshan Mountain. As the clouds are often lower than the peaks of the mountains, the mountaintops look as though they are islands floating in a sea of mist.
