Watch Sunrise and Sunset
As the night fades, the eastern horizon is lit with splendid hues. A red sun slowly emerges from behind the clouds, casting a golden glow that shimmered against the backdrop of the clouds. In no time, the sun revealed its full splendor, its golden rays bathing the mountain peaks and pine trees in a radiant light. The entire Huangshan Mountain was draped in a breathtaking glow. And you will enveloped with morning sunshine to see the best Huangshan Mountain.
