The Huangshan mountain range has many peaks, some more than 1,000 meters (3,250 feet) high. The three tallest and best-known peaks are Lotus Peak (1,864 m), Bright Summit Peak (1,840 m), and Celestial Peak (literally Capital of Heaven Peak, 1,829 m).
The Huangshan pine is named after Huangshan and is considered an example of vigor because the trees thrive by growing straight out of the rocks.Many of the area's pine trees are more than a hundred years old and have been given their own names. Huangshan's moist climate facilitates the growing of tea leaves and the mountain has been called "one of China's premier green tea-growing mountains.
The mountain often offer views of the clouds from above, known as the Sea of Clouds or "Huangshan Sea" and many vistas are known by names such as "North Sea" or "South Sea."
Described as the“loveliest mountain of China”, Mount Huang is one of China's major tourist places.
