Mount Huangshan is a beautiful and impressive UNESCO World Heritage site in southern China. Located outside the city of Huangshan, the name literally means Yellow Mountain, and it's one of the most famous mountains in China. It's been famous since the 8th century when it was renamed in honour of Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, mythical ancestor of all Han Chinese. It's a supremely beautiful spot and we really enjoyed checking it out, despite the crazy amount of stairs!
