Introduction

In the vicinity of the Earth 30 degrees north latitude, where there are many marvelous spectacles, a beautiful ‘maple leaf’ has gently fell down here and mysteriously become a territory, a 9807 square kilometer domain of the Huangshan City today. Such a legend has evoked countless poetic imagination and respect for the aesthetic feelings of mankind... During the geological age billions of years ago, the long term crustal movement and vicissitudes made an extraordinary and rare wonder – that is Mt. Huangshan. Known worldwide for its dramatic pines, fantastic rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs and winter snow, Mt. Huangshan became a peerless legend of all mountains. When listed as the world natural heritage in the early 1990s, Mt. Huangshan made a successful debut to the world, unrolling an outstanding landscape painting never seen before. Since then, people from all over the world have set their feet here. Originated in the remote age, the glorious historical evolution and social developments of Huizhou have bred a cultural spectacle – that is the Huizhou culture. Having a reputation in its profoundness, richness, floweriness and uniqueness, Huizhou culture became a blooming flower in the garden of world civilization. When listed as the world cultural heritage in the early 1990s, the first appearance of Xidi and Hongcun villages brought forward the poetic and picturesque Huizhou to the world. Since then, people from all over the world have paid their attention here. Nurtured by a tireless mother river – Xin’an River, the incomparable mountain and the magnificent culture have come together to promote the highlights of this land, namely, ‘beautiful sceneries’, ‘flourishing culture’, ‘healthy ecology’, ‘rich products’, ‘superior location’ and ‘resounding brands’. In addition to the world heritage, there are numerous honors that add fame to each other, such as world geological park, national important scenic spot and natural reserve, historical and cultural towns and villages, best preserved cultural relics and so on. Having a large picturesque natural park standing between heaven and earth, no wonder the great playwright of Ming Dynasty, Tang Xianzu, said that ‘one of my ultimate goals in life is actually reaching Huizhou not only in dreams but as a real fact’, as well as the immortal praise given by the famous traveler, Xu Xiake, that ‘there is no place both at home and abroad like Mt. Huangshan’! Nowadays, this ‘maple leaf’ is following a passionate and romantic melody and attracting the world by its flame. No matter how seasons change with time, it always celebrates the beauty of harmony between man and nature, people and society, and always illustrates the true meaning of ‘finding the beauty of nature at Mt. Huangshan, and realizing the dream of a lifetime in Huizhou’!
