Huangshan, or "Yellow Mountains"

Yellow Mountains

Huangshan, literally "Yellow Mountain", is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China.

The area is well known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly shaped granite peaks, Huangshan Pine trees, and views of the clouds from above. Huangshan is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations.

I'd come across Huangshan via their depiction in Chinese Paintings, not knowing what I was seeing in the paintings at first made me want to find out where these landscapes are.
