Huangshan is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China, not a city. Its name means "Yellow Mountain" or "Yellow Mountains." It was originally called Yishan and was renamed after a legend that the Yellow Emperor once made alchemy there.
Vegetation on the range is thickest below 1,100 meters (3,600 ft), and trees grow up to the treeline at 1,800 meters (5,900 ft).
