Xia Mei Sheng (Mount Lushan, China)

In the winter Mt. Lushan is a silver world. Forest is covered with white snow - range upon range, valley among valley. Waterfalls run down through streams covered with ice and stretched out into distance, with northland scenery.

»Feel like no road could not be found in the earth, but winding ways could be reached far into the cloud in the mountain« From Chao Buzhi(A.D.1153-1110 of Song Dynasty)’s »Ascend on Mt.Lushan«
