Mt. Huangshan and Huangshan Ancient Villages:

Mt. Huangshan and Huangshan Ancient Villages: Ancient scrolls of Chinese landscape paintings of high mountains, ancient pines, bizarre rocks, and seas of clouds come alive at Huangshan Mountain in southern Anhui Province. Recently listed on UNESCO's World Cultural and Natural Heritage List, Huangshan Mountain is a testament to the beauty that only nature can create.

As beautiful as Huangshan Mountain is, there is much more to offer visitors than just the mountain. Nearby Huangshan City, and the ancient villages of Hongcun and Xidi are not to be missed sites on anyone's itinerary to China. The ancient villages of Hongcun and Xidi have both been listed on UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List. Most noteworthy is the way that these two villages has been beautifully preserved offering visitors a glimpse into what China was like during the late Qing Dynasty. Important Notice: Mt. Huangshan and Huangshan Ancient Villages are 2024kms away from Sichuan and were unaffected by the earthquake that hit Wenchuan, Sichuan Province.
