Huang Shan ( Chinese 黃山 / 黄山 , Pinyin Huáng Shān - "Yellow Mountains") is a mountain range in the administrative area of the district-free city of Huangshan in the Anhui Province in the south of the People's Republic of China .
Huang Shan covers an area of 154 km² and there are 72 peaks, the highest of which is the Lotus Blossom Peak ( 蓮花 峰 / 莲花 峰 , Liánhuāfēng ), 1864 m above sea level. It is one of the five most famous mountains in China and is the ideal type as Chinese painters have portrayed it for centuries: steep cliffs with bizarre shapes, gnarled pines growing in the rock and seas of clouds. Huang Shan is therefore one of the most important tourist destinations, especially for Chinese visitors. In 1990 it was declared a World Natural Heritage Site and World Heritage Site by UNESCO . The mountains are registered with UNESCO under the name Mount Huangshan .
In this landscape with partly vertically sloping mountain slopes, the hiking trails are very well developed; the paths essentially consist of wide concrete stairs. These stairs are also used by porters who supply the mountain hotels with food and other goods (e.g. gas bottles, televisions, bags of cement). Material is transported entirely up the stairs, although there are several cable cars to the hotels - but these are only used for passenger transport.
Huang Shan served as a model for the (partially floating) Hallelujah mountains in the movie Avatar - Departure for Pandora .
