547 CN - Mount Huangshan (1990)

Brief Description

"Huangshan, known as 'the loveliest mountain of China', was acclaimed through art and literature during a good part of Chinese history (e.g. the Shanshui 'mountain and water' style of the mid-16th century). Today it holds the same fascination for visitors, poets, painters and photographers who come on pilgrimage to the site, which is renowned for its magnificent scenery made up of many granite peaks and rocks emerging out of a sea of clouds."

黄山
"黄山被誉为“震旦国中第一奇山”。在中国历史上的鼎盛时期,通过文学和艺术的形式(例如16世纪中叶的“山”、“水”风 格)受到广泛的赞誉。今天,黄山以其壮丽的景色——生长在花岗岩石上的奇松和浮现在云海中的怪石而著称,对于从四面八方来到这个风景胜地的游客、诗人、画 家和摄影家而言,黄山具有永恒的魅力。"
