Huangshan, Anhui Province, China
I always believed that Chinese master landscape painters had creative imaginations until I visited Huangshan and discovered that their paintings were quite faithful to reality. Huangshan, which means Yellow Mountain and is located in eastern China’s Anhui Province, is famous for its countless jagged rock towers, beautiful wind sculpted pine trees, and seas of swirling clouds. Huangshan resembles a sumi painting more than a real place.
