Huanggang Mountain, also known as Huanggangshan, is the main peak of the Wuyi Mountains, located in Wuyishan City, Fujian Province, and Yanshan County, Jiangxi Province. With an altitude of 2,160.8 meters, it is known as the "Roof of East China," "Pillar of Wuyi," and "Highest Peak in Southeast China." Here is a detailed introduction: Natural Scenery - Vertical Vegetation Spectrum: At the foot of the mountain, there are evergreen broad-leaved forests and scattered moso bamboo forests. As the altitude increases, there are mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, coniferous forests, subalpine dwarf forests, and subalpine meadows. The boundaries of the five forest vegetation zones are distinct, reflecting the vertical spectrum of temperature, precipitation, and soil at different altitudes. - Southeast Grand Canyon: Stretching 80 kilometers from north to south, with a vertical drop of over 1,600 meters, the canyon is filled with clouds and mist at the bottom. The rushing streams create white ribbons, while the slow-moving ones form emerald pools. The scattered houses resemble building blocks, creating a constantly changing landscape. - Subalpine Meadow: Starting from the 26-kilometer mark on the road from Sangan to the top of Huanggang Mountain, the meadow extends to the sides and surroundings of the peak, stretching about 2 kilometers from east to west and 10 kilometers from north to south. The gentle slopes and lush green grass resemble a green carpet. Cultural Scenery - Qixing Mountain: Located on the northern slope of Wuyi Mountain, adjacent to the Wuyi Palace, a World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, the main peak reaches 1,402 meters. Named after the seven peaks standing together, it features attractions such as Fengguan Ridge, Xianren Yin, and cultural sites like Qixing Ancient Temple. - Tongmu Pass: Located at the border of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, it is one of the eight major passes of Wuyi Mountain, serving as an important transportation and military hub in ancient times.
