Guest-Greeting Pine

Huangshan Guest-Greeting Pine stands beside the Green Lion Stone in the Huangshan Yuping Scenic Area. It is 1670 meters above sea level with the tree height of 9.91 m. Today, the Guest-Greeting Pine has become the representative of Huangshan pines, a symbol of the entire Huangshan. It is the pride of the entire nation; it represents a tough and tensile, lofty and unyielding character.

Guest-Greeting Pine has graceful posture and powerful branches and trunk. Though it has experienced the weather-beaten, it still remains luxuriant and green and full of vitality. The central trunk stretches two 7.6-meter lateral branches forwards, just like a hospitable host waving his arms to warmly welcome guests all over the world who are visiting Yellow Mountain. Visiting here, tourists will suddenly increase interest in going on the tour and have a souvenir photo in succession.

As a symbol of friendship between Chinese people and the people from the world, Guest-Greeting Pine has long been known in the world. Chinese leaders receive countless envoy of friendship in front of the huge traditional Chinese painting "Guest-Greeting Pine" in the Great Hall of the People. To be a national treasure, the Guest-Greeting Pine fully deserves.
