黄山风景区英文介绍

　　1990年12月，安徽黄山风景区被联合国科教文组织评为世界自然和文化遗产名录。

　　黄山屹立在中国安徽省南部(北纬30度1分，东经118度1分)，盘垣于歙、黟、太平、休宁四县之间，方圆250平方公里，精华部份154平方公里。黄山原称作黟山，因传说轩辕皇帝曾在此修身炼丹，故名。黄山不仅以奇伟俏丽、灵秀多姿著称于世，还是一座资源丰富、生态完整、具有重要科学和生态环境价值的国家级风景名胜区，属世界文化与自然遗产，已被列入《世界遗产名录》。

　　早在一亿多年前的地壳运动中，黄山便已跃起于地表之上，后又经过第四纪冰川的洗礼，终于形成了气势磅礴，高峰穿云的天下奇山。

　　154平方公里的景区内，峰如林海，危崖突兀、幽壑纵横。这种地貌的形成是由于其山体为粗粒花岗岩组成，花岗岩常常发育成直立或近乎直立的主要筋理。由于浸蚀崩裂的外力作用，使岩石形成了巨大的柱状体，这样便出现了巍峨奇特的山峰，幽深如削的山谷。主峰莲花峰海拔1864米，与平旷的光明顶、险峻的天都峰一起，雄居在景区中心，还有77座千米以上的山峰分布在四周。峰奇石奇松更奇，云飞水飞山亦飞。峰壑间，巧石星罗棋布，有名可数者120余处。其形成或似珍禽异兽，或如神话人物，千姿百态，妙趣横生。遍布峰壑的黄山松，破石而生，盘结于危岩峭壁之上，挺立于峰崖绝壑之中，或雄壮挺拔，或婀娜多姿，显示出顽强的生命力。黄山无处不松，奇特的古松，难以胜数。最著名者有迎客松、卧龙松、探海松、黑虎松等30余株。多少年来，它们抵御风吹雨打，霜剑冰刀，吸取岩石中的点滴水分和营养，迎着阳光稳稳地屹立于峰崖之上。黄山云流动于千峰万壑之间，或成涛涛云海，浩瀚无际，或与朝霞、落日相映，色彩斑斓，壮美瑰丽。

　　黄山温泉，古称灵泉、汤泉、朱砂泉，水质清澈，可饮可浴，是黄山一绝。黄山是长江与钱塘江两大水系的分水岭。特殊的地理位置，构成36条大峡谷、形成36源，汇流24溪。山水迸泻，形成飞瀑，悬垂如练，溅珠喷玉。山中一夜雨，处处挂飞泉，瀑布中著名者有人字瀑、百丈泉、和九龙瀑。

　　由于黄山花岗岩体垂直节理十分发育，断裂和裂隙纵横交错，形成瑰丽多姿的花岗岩洞穴与孔道，使之重岭峡谷，关口处处。更有历代丰厚的文化积淀，摩崖石刻等名胜古迹200多处。加上日出、日落、云雾、松涛、佛光、秋色、雾松、冰挂等自然奇观，幽谷泉鸣，鸟语花香，整个景区犹如一幅幅立体的壮丽画卷。

　　黄山是美的综合体，是天地造化的宠儿。随便一处，或松或石、或云海清泉，无一不美，无处不奇，置身其间，使人似觉得到了天上人间，不得不感叹大自然的神奇力量。 她是人类最珍贵的遗产和世界最著名的旅游胜地之一。美丽的黄山，以她博大的胸怀，张开了热情的手臂，迎接着五湖四海的朋友们。
