Black Tiger Pine at Huangshan 黃山黑虎松
The Black Tiger Pine is one of the top ten popular pine trees at Huangshan. Legend has it that a long time ago while a monk was meditating in Huangshan, a black tiger appeared to be crouching on the top of a big pine tree. On closer look, the tiger was no where to be seen, so he name the tree "Black Tiger Pine". The tree is estimated to be 700 years old.
Huangshan 黄山 (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.
黃山十大名松之一，列入世界遺產名錄。生於白鵝嶺索道站下坡至始信峰岔路口，海拔1650米處。獅子林有一高僧入定時，見一黑虎臥於松頂，後尋黑虎不見，只見古松高大蒼勁，幹枝氣勢雄偉，虎氣凜凜，且冠蓋濃綠近黑，似一黑虎臥於坡下，故名“黑虎松”。該松古松高大蒼勁，幹枝氣勢雄偉，虎氣凜凜，且冠蓋濃綠近黑，似一黑虎臥於坡下。樹高15米，冠蓋投影面達100平方米，據推算已有700樹齡。
