Hundred-step Cloud Ladder is located o­n the northwest cliff of the Lotus Peak. There are two big stones not far away from "the lotus stem". o­ne of them looks like a turtle while the other looks like snake. The two stones are parallel. 100 levels of precipitous steep steps is caved o­n the cliff, passing through two stones. You would feel as though leaning o­n the cliff o­n the long ladders, with deep abyss when you look down from opposite the Aoyu Hole.

     Huangshan is beautiful all year round. In spring (March to May), all flowers blossom, pines turn green and the birds sing beautifully. Summer (June-August) is the best time to appreciate the pines and prevent sunstroke. In autumn (September to November), tourists can see the pines, rocks, maples and chrysanthemum.
