With winter coming and temperatures dropping, it is now the best season to appreciate the sea of clouds on the peaks of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui province.

The mountain, widely known as the Yellow Mountain, is credited as "the mountain of all mountains" in China. It is the first scenic spot in the world to be listed as a UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage, World Geological Park and World Biosphere Reserve.

The mountain is known for its five wonders, peculiar pines, strange-looking rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs and winter snow. Winter is the season to enjoy them all in one trip.

Glacier movement more than a million years ago carved peaks and rocks into unique shapes that inspire the imagination. At any of the dozens of major peaks at around sunrise or sunset, people may feel as if they're standing on an island in the middle of ocean.
