Fairyland engulfed in an ocean of clouds

Posted 2017/11/30

 

Standing imperiously in the southern Anhui province in eastern China, the spectacular and breathtaking delights of Huangshan Mountain range is beyond all imagination.


Transcending the lines of myth and reality and bringing to life sights that would otherwise be a part of fairytales and lost legends, the Huangshan is a mountain range where you look down searching for splendor rather than towards the sky.



Engulfed in an ocean of clouds, illuminated by shades and colors originating from the grand celestial show and warmed up with refreshing natural springs, this rare and untouched land seems like nature’s masterpiece that leaves you mesmerized and enchanted.

These giant Mesozoic rock formations that spring from the ground and leap up vertically towards the sky form a magnificent amphitheater which plays host to nature’s most dazzling display.



A perennial favorite with the top nature photographers on the planet today and great Chinese art works of the past, the Yellow Mountains region (that’s what it means literally) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unparalleled natural beauty, rare and fragile ecosystem. Also for being home to a host of endangered species.

The mountain region is open 200 days out of the year for tourists with each season bringing its special and unique delights that cannot be missed. If the early spring is the season to visit for fresh and vibrant vegetation, clear skies and bustling waterfalls, the autumn is great for watching a colorful show of bright and brilliant festivity.




Summer will bring with it the best of the Huangshan scenery as you get a wonderful combination of the greenery, the brilliant light show in the sky with the dawn and dusk giving the region a multitude of hues and of course a rainbow or two if you are lucky enough to catch them!

But winter is the season that you might actually want to visit the Huangshan as it will give you an experience like none other on the planet.


Standing on the mountain peaks, the feeling of floating in an endless ocean of white clouds is a something that cannot be replicated anywhere else. The low hanging clouds, the steep vertical rock formation and the relatively cold winter chill will transport you into a universe that is altogether different and astonishing. It is this journey into the clouds that has given the peaks their mystical aura offered us those speechless wallpapers.


Offering plenty for travel enthusiasts, adventure seekers and nature lovers, once you have been to Huangshan, it is hard not to return. That’s how powerful the magnetic majesty is. Decent accommodation, good connectivity with Shanghai and haunting images … Huangshan lingers in your memories forever.
