Huangshan Mountain in Anhui [fengniao.com]

Huangshan Mountain, standing at Huangshan City, in southern Anhui Province, is regarded as one of the most beautiful mountains in China. Famous for its amazing landscape, the mountain covers an area of 1,200 square kilometers, of which 154 square kilometers are open to tourists. The mountain has "four wonders": odd-shaped pines, spectacular rocks, a sea of clouds and hot springs. These wonders make Huangshan Mountain a wonderful place both for climbing and relaxing. Of the 15 hot springs dotted around the mountain, Zhusha Spring is the most famous. Located in the north of the Zishi Peak, the spring water has an average temperature of 42.5℃. A hot spring bath at Zhusha Spring is the perfect way to relax after a hard day of climbing.
