7 years ago I visited the Huangshan Mountains in China. This year I went back to China and did a little experiment if it was my beard that causes Chinese men to make selfies with me.
The video at https://youtu.be/r9B5tzAqKD8 shows the hike and my experiment.
In the second half of the 1600s, Huangshan 黃山 (Mt. Huang or Yellow Mountain) attracted many visitors and inspired artists like Mei Qing. He probably sketched the Nine Dragon Pool on his second trip to the mountain range in 1690, at the advanced age of 68 <em>sui</em>. This dramatic waterfall has nine curves, each forming an emerald green pool. After heavy rain, the rushing water looks like nine white dragons.
