Chinese art and literature, as well as the epic science fiction film "Avatar" have all gained inspiration from the Huangshan mountain range. Located in east China’s Anhui Province, Huangshan (literal meaning Yellow Mountain) is famous for many amazing natural scenes such as the so-called Sea of Clouds.

The mists and the clouds surround the oddly-shaped peaks and pines capture the spirit of Huangshan.
