Introduction

On the left side of Yupinglou stands a famous welcoming pine tree. Its posture is like a hospitable host welcoming tourists from all over the world to visit Huangshan. As a representative of Huangshan pine trees, the welcoming pine is a national treasure. A huge iron painting called "Welcoming Pine" displayed in the Anhui hall of the Beijing Great Hall of the People was made based on its image. There is a rumor that says "if you do not climb the welcoming pine, you have come for nothing", so only when you reach the welcoming pine can you truly say you have arrived at Huangshan.
