Topography of Huangshan Mountain
There are 72 peaks in Huangshan Mountain, which is known as "36 peaks and 36 small peaks". Lotus Peak, the main peak, is as high as 1864.8 meters above sea level. It is also called the three main peaks of Huangshan with Guangmingding and Tiandu Peak, and there are 77 peaks above 1000 meters around it. Huangshan Mountain has 30 ridges, 22 rocks, 7 caves and 2 passages.
Huangshan Mountain is also rich in Quaternary glacial remains, mainly distributed in the southeast of Qian Shan. Typical glacial landforms are as follows: Kuzhuxi and Xiaoyao River are "U"-shaped valleys eroded by glacial movement; There are two V-shaped valleys on the brow peak and back of crucian carp and the knife ridges left by gouging. The top of Tiandu Peak is tinder left by ice bucket planing on three sides.
Baizhang Spring and Herringbone Waterfall are suspended valleys formed by the confluence of glacial valley and glacier branches. Moraine stones accumulated by glaciers are distributed in the riverbed terraces from Xiaoyaoxi to Tangkou, Wuniguan and Huangshi Dang. It is said that the "Dan Jing" and "medicine mortar" used in Xuanyuan Huangdi alchemy are also ice mortars formed by glaciation.
