The name of Huangshan City derives from the famous Huangshan Mountain, No. 1 of its must-see places. Huangshan Mountain was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990. Besides such natural wonders, a history of more than 2,200 years has left the city with a large number of cultural heritages. Known as Huizhou in ancient time, Huangshan is the birthplace of Hui culture as well as the hometown of Huizhou merchants who ever ruled China's commerce for over 300 years. Visiting the Huizhou style ancient villages and learning the local carving and painting art are among the top things to do in Huangshan.
