Care for a peak?. International Mountain Day
Happy International Mountain Day! In celebration of highlands, we're visiting the dramatic landscape of Huangshan—the Yellow Mountains—of eastern China's Anhui province. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Huangshan has been described as 'the loveliest mountain of China' and has inspired artists and writers throughout history. Composed of granite that formed 140 million years ago, its peaks emerge from seas of clouds, rising to 6,115 feet at its highest point, Lotus Peak. Visitors come here to experience breathtaking rock formations, pine trees, hot springs, and captivating winter landscapes. So, let's climb high, dream big, and protect our mountains!
