The Mountain didn’t get its name from its colour, by the way. Huang in Chinese means Yellow, which is the colour of the royals.
Long time ago, it was said that this mountain the the favourite mountain of Huang Di, the first Emperor of China. He often come here to contemplate and bathed in its hot springs. Once, when he bathed in the hot spring, he, who was 40, turn to twenty, and so, lived for a long time. It’s also said that the Emperor, being a good Emperor, ascended to heaven from the peak of Huang San. Then another Emperor, also loved this mountain, named the mountain after the first Emperor of China.
Huang san is one of the most well known mountain in China. People says that the scenery in Huang San is considered the best in China.
But I haven’t seen Emei San, Zhangjiajie, etc, so I can’t tell which one is the best.
And, Huang San is also a great place for scenic photography, and drawing practice, if you like.
Here’s some snapshot I took in Huang San.
