ThebeautyofHuangshanliesinitsuniquepeaks.Hereisthecompetitionshow,thepeakiscalledstrange,eachhasitsowncharacteristics,eachhasitsowncharm.ThereisnodefinitenumberoftheoddpeaksinHuangshan.Thereare36bigpeaksand36smallpeaksnamedsuccessivelyinhistory.Inrecentyears,10famouspeakshavebeenselectedintothe"Huangshanannals".Mostofthese80peaksareover1000metersabovesealevel.Amongthem,Lianhuapeakisthehighest(1864meters),Guangmingpeakisthesecond(1841meters),andTiandupeakisthethird(1829meters).ThesethreepeaksandShixinpeak(1683meters)areHuangshan'sfriends.Evenoneofthefourpeaksisworththetrip.
Next,I'dliketointroducethe"fourwonders"ofHuangshan.
