Mount Huangshan is one of China's best scenic areas. Xu Xiake(1584-1641), a famous writer of travel books of the Ming Dynasty said;"Having toured the Five Great Mountains, I wouldn't care to visit other mountains; but I despised all the Five Great Mountains after I came back from Mount Huangshan."  Indeed,Mount Huangshan is everything: Mount Tai's grandeur, Mount Hua's power,Mount Heng's clouds,Mount Lu's waterfalls and Mount Emei's clarity and cool.
    Tourists can ascend to the White Goose Ridge in a cable car jointly managed by China and Japan.  It takes only 8 minutes for a single trip.Tourists can enjoy mountain view through the windows of the cable car.  The cableway goes up 773 metres above the ground,  and tourists will be filled with apprehension while looking down at the steep cliffs and deep valleys.
    The four ultimate beauties of Mount Huangshan are oddly shaped pines,its spectacular rocky peaks,sea of clouds,  and crystal-clear  mountain hot springs. The scenes of Mount Huangshan are "the most spectacular under heaven. "  Mount Huangshan is worthy of such praise7.The Mount Huangshan National Scenery Area won the Melina Mercouri Award for conservation and management of cultural scenery from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. A ceremony was held early Much 2000 in Beijing. The mountain is said to be one of the most famous natural scenic spots in China. In 1990,it was inscribed on the List of the World Cultural and Natural Heritages of UNESCO.Since then the local government has made great efforts to protect and manage the cultural and natural scenery of the area.

The Dragon Tower in Harbin， Heilongjiang Province， the highest steel- structure tower in Asia， makes icon of the nation's leading scenic spots in terms of infrastructure and service quality.
　　Construction of the 336-metre-high Dragon Tower began in 1998 and was completed and opened to the public in October 2002. The tower is multifunctional and combines TV and broadcast transmissions， sightseeing， catering， entertainment， popular science， wireless communications， and environmental and meteorological monitoring as well. The tower has a floor space of 16，600 square metres， including 13，000 square metres of foundation floors and 3，600 square metres of tower floors. Various tourism and catering  facilities have been built in the tower to entertain visitors.
　　A police museum on the second floor showcases a gun used at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China， an automatic fingerprint identification system， and vivid depictions of police stories. Also on the same floor is a holy altar of the Red   Emperor and the Yellow Emperor， common ancestors of the Chinese nation. It is the only scenic spot in China that has an altar for both the Red Emperor and  the Yellow Emperor. On the third floor is a corridor of world landscapes， a popular science base for youth and an exhibition hall for the terracotta warriors  and horses of the Qin Dynasty （221-206 BC）. A Dragon's Legend Exhibition Hal lis located on the same floor， which displays pictures and sculptures of dragons in various forms.

Mount Drum，a major scenic attraction in Fuzhou， has enjoyed a long history and reputation.As early as the Jin Dynasty，it was appraised as one of "The Two Matchless Scenic Beauties in Fujian Province." Lying 10 kilometres southeast of the city on the northern side of the Min River， the beautiful mountain with four peaks named Lion， White Cloud， Alms Bowl （of a Buddhist monk） offers over 160 sites of interest，centred by the Gushing Spring Temple.  Since ancient times， men of letters and celebrities vied to visit the place， wrote poems and had their inscriptions carved on rocks， adding to the attraction of the mountain.
　　The Gushing Spring Temple，half-way up the mountain， proves the best of its kind in Fujian Province， with a history of more than l，000years Emperor Kangxi （1654-1722， reigned 1662-1722） of the Qing Dynasty （1644-1911） wrote the inscription： "the Gushing Spring Temple" on the lintel of the entrance.  In front of the temple stand two earthen pagodas made in the 1080 0f the Northern Song Dynasty.  Each of the seven-metre- high，  nine-storey octagonal pagodas has l，038 figures of Buddhas，72 monks and warriors and same number of bells carved on its sides，all vivid and true to life.
　　Out of the rear of the temple，a path leads to the summit of Mount Drum， with an elevation of 925 .metres， a place， which lends itself to a magnificent view of the sunrise. In front of the temple， a 2，145-step flagstone path， accompanied by an 8.5-kilometre-long spiral highway， goes down to the office block at the foot of the mountain. To the west of the temple stand the famous Eighteen Caves. To the east past the Rolling Dragon Pavilion，through a thick forest，a quiet path leads to the Lingyuan Cave， where jagged， grotesque rocks cover the ground and towering ancient trees give heavy shade to the deep， old pool.Connected with the place are many beautiful tales and myths.  On the rocks are more than 300 inscriptions over the past nine hundred years since the Song Dynasty （960-1279）， which deserves the title of a museum of Chinese calligraphy for the full variety of styles-from the regular script，cursive sript，seal character to official script.

Inscribed by UNESCO on the list as one of the World Cultural Heritages in December 1999， Dazu （"Great Plenty" or more mundanely as "Big Foot"） Rock Carvings lie 163 kilometres away from Chongqing Municipality， which was established in March 1997. The carvings started in 892 and completed by the end of the Southern Song Dynasty （1127-1279） lasting more than 250 years. They are the excellent works of rock carvings produced during the later Period of grotto arts in China.
　　More than 50，000 pieces of carved rock figures are scattered 75 major sites in the 1，390-square-kilometre county. Those carved out of the rocks at Beishan （North Hill）， the Baodingshan （Precious Peak Hill） and Nanshan （South Hill） are the most concentrated in number， the largest in scale， the finest in craftsmanship and the richest in contents.In 1961， they appeared on the list of the first group of important cultural relics under the state protection as announced by the State Council.
　　Dazu Rock Carvings are in no way less important than other big-name Chinese grottoes such as Dunhuang， Yungang and Longmen in Northem China.
　　The Dazu Rock Carvings， mainly consisting of Buddhist images， are the commented as the "Oriental Carved Bible." However， there are also separate areas of Confucian and Taoist images， and caves m which the founders of Confucianism， Buddhism and Taoism are placed together. Besides， there are statues of a commemorative nature of historical personages.  What makes Dazu rock carvings unique is the large amount of statues， the refined carving techniques， the diversified subjects， the rich content and the excellent conservation.
