Huangshan Mountains, China Dec 11, 2023

Today we"re visiting the Huanghan Mountains—also called the Yellow Mountains—of China"s Anhui province. In 1990, these peaks were granted the prestigious title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rising majestically to a height of 965 metres, the Huangshan Mountains are composed of granite that formed 140 million years ago during the late Jurassic period. Visitors come here to experience the breathtaking rock formations, pine trees, ethereal seas of clouds, hot springs and captivating winter landscapes. So, let"s climb high, dream big and protect our mountains!
