Step into a scroll painting atop Huangshan
CHINA // The ephemeral views of China's sacred Yellow Mountain have been captured by poets, painters and artists for thousands of years. These days at Huangshan you have to elbow in for views of cloud-dusted peaks and soaring canyons, and finding solitude for poetry writing is a tough ask. Legions of visitors come from across China and the world to see Huangshan's spectacular beauty, climbing its seemingly endless staircases for selfie-snapping opportunities. Not that we can blame them - Huangshan's mystique is undeniable. In order to capture a glimpse of the mountains the way the ancients experienced them, off- season is the best bet. Crowds thin in winter (apart from Chinese New Year) and you might just get a snow-sprinkled ledge to yourself.
