Huangshan : Mt Clasping-hands 黃山合掌峰

Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) is a jagged range of more than 70 knifelike peaks in eastern China’s Anhui province. The region's low-hanging clouds, distinctively shaped granite rocks and twisted pine trees have been subjects of numerous classical paintings and poems. Cable cars provide access to several peaks, and steep paved trails with thousands of stone steps snake past many of the range's famous viewpoints. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations.

 

This Mt Clasping-hands near the centre right here is 1455 metres high. With some imagination it resembles the clasped hands of a buddhist monk geeting people or praying, hence the namesake.

 

黃山位於中國安徽省南部黃山市境內。黃山古稱黟山,南北長約40千米,東西寬約30千米。黃山素以「奇松、怪石、雲海、溫泉」四絕聞名天下。那72峰、24溪、2湖、3瀑,峰峰奇特,溪溪曲折、極盡天下山水之美,更聚名山大川之勝。黃山最高峰是蓮花峰,海拔1860米 ,位 於黃山中部、站在玉屏樓向前望去, 猶如一朵含苞初放的蓮花, 峻峭高聳, 仰天怒放。晴天從蓮花峰頂可遙見江西的廬山和似帶的長江。黃山三大主峰之一的天都峰,與蓮花峰爭雄對峙。它位於黃山東南部,人稱無上之「都會, 海拔1829米、從玉屏樓至天都峰約15千米,其間有黃山最險峻的峰嶺,峰上的石樓,坡度都在70度以上;尤以中途的鯽魚背最險。

 

合掌峰位於黃山中部石門源,靠近青蛙峰,為36小峰之一,海拔1455米。峰狀如僧人合掌膜拜,故名。
