[China] China's most sacred mountain! World Heritage Site "Huangshan" where the world of ink painting unfolds

One of China's most famous peaks, Mount Huangshan (Huangshan) In ancient China, it was said, "You must not see a mountain without seeing Mount Huangshan" "If you come back from the Five Mountains, you will not see any mountains, and if you come back from Mount Huangshan, you will not see the Five Mountains (meaning that if you have seen the Taoist holy land of the Five Mountains, you cannot see any other mountains, but if you have seen Mount Huangshan, you cannot even see the Five Mountains)" It is a sacred mountain worthy of being called "the best in the world". It may be like Mount Fuji in Japan. It has been deeply loved by literati since ancient times, and is used in Chinese poetry and ink-wash landscape paintings. Huangshan, which often appears It is currently China's leading tourist attraction, a World Heritage Site, a World Geopark, and a scenic area of ​​the highest rank 5A certified by the Chinese government. From the perspective of nature conservation, Huangshan has a rule that it closes every five years, and of the three main peaks (Lianchi Peak, Tiandu Peak, and Guangmingding), Lianchi Peak was closed for five years from 2014 to 2018, and Tiandu Peak was closed from 2019 to 2023. The altitude is about 1,800m, but you can take the cable car to the top. It is a place that both adults and children can climb with ease. However, when climbing to the summit of the three main peaks, you will have to climb steep stone steps that are very steep, so be careful when it rains as they can become especially slippery. The sea of ​​clouds occurs from the rainy season to the beginning of autumn. When I visited, it was more like a sea of ​​clouds than a dense fog, and I could barely walk because I couldn't see anything more than a few meters ahead. The famous "stepping stones" were also blurred and not visible. The image is a rare shot taken during a brief moment of clear skies. There is a hotel on the summit (not a mountain lodge like in Japan, but a normal hotel), so it is also popular for watching the sunrise and sunset. The autumn leaves are not as beautiful as you would expect, as there are mainly conifers. This is a place where the world of ink painting has come true. <Huangshan> Location: Tangkou Town, Huangshan District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province Opening hours: 06:00-22:00 *For day trips Admission fee: 190 yuan during the peak season, 150 yuan during the off-season #Let's go to China #China #Breathtaking views #World Heritage Sites

⛰️Huangshan – Crowded, Yes. Worth It? Absolutely. I visited Huangshan during a Chinese holiday — yes, it was crowded, and yes, I queued for hours. But none of that mattered once I reached the peaks. There’s something surreal about standing above the clouds, watching the mist drift slowly around the jagged mountain tops. It felt like walking through a painting — pine trees clinging to cliffs, stone steps winding through the fog, and waves of clouds floating just below your feet. Despite the crowds, Huangshan was breathtaking. Tiring, yes — but magical. And honestly? I’d do it all over again. 🌫️🌄
