Introduction

Huangshan is known as the "Number One Odd Mountain in the World" and is famous for its four wonders: the Odd Pine, Strange Rock, Sea of Clouds, and Hot Springs. It is regarded as the crown of China's famous mountains. Additionally, the rime, snow scenery, and sunrise in the scenic area are also must-see attractions for tourists. The Book of Songs once praised it as "Not seeing mountains when returning from Yueyang, not seeing Yueyang when returning from Huangshan." The Huangshan scenic area is divided into two main parts: the front mountain and the back mountain. The front mountain is the area from Ciguang Pavilion to Guangmingding, including hot springs, Yupinglou, and Tianhai scenic area, with numerous attractions such as Yingke Pine, Half-Mountain Temple, Yupinglou, Yixiantian, and Aoyu Peak. The back mountain is the area from Yungu Temple to Guangmingding, including Beihai and Xihai scenic areas, with main attractions such as Shixin Peak, Paiyun Pavilion, Xihai Grand Canyon, Feilai Stone, and Songgu An. Among these beautiful sights, the Three Oddities and Five Wonders are what make people unforgettable. Most visitors will choose to enter from the South Gate, which has entrances to both the front and back mountains and is close to Tangkou Town at the foot of the mountain.
