Pagoda Peak

　　Introduction     Pagoda Peak is situated in the northern part of Huangshan Mountain, nestled between Shuxiang and Wangxian peaks. While hiking up from Songgu Hermitage toward Lion Forest, there is a winding trail that circles around the peak, though it is not climbable. Nearby, there are uniquely-shaped rock formations such as “Immortals Viewing the List” and “Immortals Paving the Road.”    Pagoda Peak is one of the 36 smaller peaks, with an elevation of 1,314 meters. The peak stands solid and upright, resembling a grand and majestic main pagoda. Especially after part of the mountain’s rock face eroded and collapsed some time ago, the resemblance became even more striking. When sea of clouds forms, the tip of this “pagoda” emerges, looking like a lighthouse in the ocean.
