Huang-shan

— The scenery most often depicted in the Anhui School paintings is that of Huang-shan, the "Yellow Mountains," some of the most awesomely spectacular on earth. Huang-shan as seen in photographs today is recognizably the same that the Anhui artists present: sheer faces of rock and needle spires, bare except for the famous Huang-shan pines, with Buddhist temples high on the peaks, accessible only by long ascents.
