Stone bamboo-shoot Peak at Huangshan : 黃山 石筍峰 早春
This image is included in a gallery "INTERPHOTO * TOP FLICKR' curated by Gianfranco Marzetti.
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 was taken on one overcast early spring evening. There was still some snow on the ground. Had to wait for a long while for the soft sunlight to correctly illuminate the peak.
石筍峰位於北海景區之上升峰和散花塢東面始信峰中間。該峰為柱狀石峰，屬黃山36小峰之列，海拔1683米。峰形酷似竹筍，故得名。峰上怪石林立，遊人若在始信峰對面獅子峰腰部海拔1700餘米的清涼台（原名法台）或在峰背尾部的曙光亭（原名文光亭）旁觀賞石景，即可見其中一排怪石形如幾位身穿道袍、頭挽髮髻的道士。當中兩尊相向而坐，中間有一樹冠平如棋枰的古松。此景即為著名的移步換景怪石“二仙對弈”，又稱“仙人下棋”；在它的右邊，另有一尊酷似身穿丞相冠服，頭頂烏紗，背手斜立而視的人形石，這就是被稱作“宰相觀棋”的怪石了。由於兩個石景相隔不遠，又互相聯繫，故實際上屬於一道組合怪石景觀。
