"Mount Sanqingshan National Park, a 22,950 ha property located in the
west of the Huyaiyu mountain range in the northeast of Jiangxi Province
(in the east of central China) has been inscribed for its exceptional
scenic quality, marked by the concentration of fantastically shaped
pillars and peaks: 48 granite peaks and 89 granite pillars, many of
which resemble human or animal silhouettes. The natural beauty of the
1,817 metre high Mount Huaiyu is further enhanced by the juxtaposition
of granite features with the vegetation and particular meteorological
conditions which make for an ever-changing and arresting landscape with
bright halos on clouds and white rainbows. The area is subject to a
combination of subtropical monsoonal and maritime influences and forms
an island of temperate forest above the surrounding subtropical
landscape. It also features forests and numerous waterfalls, some of
them 60 metres in height, lakes and springs." -http://whc.unesco.org
