There is a popular ancient Chinese saying "There is no reason to visit any other mountain after seeing Yellow Mountain". As one of the most popular tourist destinations in China, Yellow Mountain has inspired countless Chinese painters and poets for thousands of years, and is widely recognized as the most beautiful mountain in China with its amazing scenery: grotesque rocks, unique shaped pine trees growing out of cliffs, marvelous sea of clouds and crystal-clear hot springs.

Each of the four seasons on Yellow Mountain has their respective beauty. In spring, all is new, fresh and tender. The mountain is covered in a blanket of azalea and takes on a whole new look; many kinds of wild flowers are brilliant and seedlings are shooting up at its foot. The sound of birdsong is most pleasant in this quietness while you will be enchanted by the color changes as you climb your way up.

Spring is probably the most propitious season for visiting and is certainly the best time to view the many waterfalls due to the abundant precipitation.
