著名的旅游胜地黄山坐落在安徽省的南部，面积约1200平方公里。黄山有72座名峰，其中最出名的有莲花峰，天都峰，始信峰，青鸾峰。黄山景色甚为独特，它兼有泰山之雄伟，华山之险峻，峨眉山之清秀。奇松怪石云海和温泉堪称黄山四绝。黄山的迎客松早以其特殊的造型而闻明于世。

Huangshan, a well known tourist mountain resort, occupies an area of 1200 square kilometers in the south of anhui province, boasting 72peaks, including the best known lianhua, tiandu, shixin and qingluan peaks. Huangshan blends the grander of mountain tai, the awe of huashan mountain and the elegance of mountai emei. Huangshan is most noted for its four attractions unparalleled else where, namely extraordinary pines growing out of rock crevices, grotesque rocks, seas of clouds whirling around the peaks and hot springs. The world famous visitor-greeting pine has long been known for its singular build.

当地流传着不少优美神话故事，为黄山披上了神秘的外衣。例如青鸾峰这一名字的来历就很富有诗意和传奇色彩。海拔1780米的青鸾峰形状很像一只蹲伏的大鸟。鸟头微抬，仿佛在凝视远处的天都峰，尾巴下垂，两翼紧贴鸟身，绿树覆盖全身，因此得名青鸾峰。

Many fairy tales about this mountain spread among the local people, hiding huangshan in mystery. For example, the tale about the origin of the name of the qingluan peak is one of poetic and legendary flavor. Rising 1780 meters above sea level, the peak bears strong resemblance to a fabulous perching bird, as if looking fixedly at the tiandu peak in the diastance with its head raised slightly up, its tail drooping down and the two wings clinging to its body growing all over with green tress. Hence the name of qingluan peak which literally means the green bird peak.
