Huangshan (simplified Chinese: 黄山; traditional Chinese: 黃山;

pinyin: Huángshān; literally "Yellow Mountain"),[2] is a mountain

range in southern Anhui province in eastern China. The range is

composed of material that was uplifted from an ancient sea during

the Mesozoic era, 100 million years ago. The mountains themselves

were carved by glaciers during theQuaternary. Vegetation on the

range is thickest below 1,100 meters (3,600 ft), with trees growing up

to the treeline at 1,800 meters (5,900 ft).

 

The area is well known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly shaped

granite peaks, Huangshan Pine trees, and views of the clouds from

above. Huangshan is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese

paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. It is a

UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist

destinations.

I like this one a lot, well done!  I have taken photos like this and kind of laugh when critiquers tell me I should have waited for the clouds to clear!
