The bounded scope of the Huangshan Scenic and Historic Area totals 154km, with its outlying protected belt amounting to 142km; the peak forest inside the area is of a unique topography, and every peak is dangerously steep and loftily towering, which, matched with unpredictably changing mists and clouds, enables the natural beautiful scenery to change unendingly, and to structure its queer, grand, ever-changing and perilous spectacles.

With 400-plus scenic sites inside the scenic area, it is well-known at home and abroad for its four “matchless” of queer pines, strange rocks, cloud sea and hot spring, being reputed as “No. 1 wonderful mountain under heaven”, In 1990, it was included in the “World Cultural Heritage List”.
