In depth

<p> Huangshan's 'After the Five Great Mountains, you need not look at the mountains,' with welcoming pines, sea of clouds, strange rocks, and hot springs—all four wonders; At the foot of the mountain, Hongcun and Xidi are ink-wash paintings, while Yuezhao and Matou Wall reflect the daylight. </p><p> Jiuhua Mountain is the place of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, with incense offerings stretching endlessly; The archways and old streets of Jixi and Shexian tell stories of Huizhou merchants. A bite of stinky mandarin fish and a cup of Maofeng are the rich flavors of southern Anhui </p>
