l Post-workshop excursion (November 13-15): Yellow Mountain (Huangshan Mountain), Anhui

     Organized by a local travel agency

Of all the notable mountains in China, the Yellow Mountain, aka Mount Huangshan, is probably the most famous and can be found in the south of Anhui Province. It is famed for its stunning and peculiar natural sceneries composed of four wonders, namely unique guest-greeting pines, absurd stones, sea of clouds and amazing hot springs, as well as high peaks, strange pines and glacial landforms. The fairyland-like Huangshan national park occupying an area of 160.6 square kilometers (39,700 acres) boasts not only attractive scenery but also abundant resources and a great variety of zoological species, for which it has been listed as a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site.
