    It lies between the North Sea and the Beginning-to Believe Peak. It's about 15 meters high and the diameter of its breast is 65 centimeters. The crown projection area is about 100 square meters and now it's about 700 years old. It's said that in earlier time, a monk passed through here and suddenly saw a black tiger lying o­n the top of a pine. But in an instance, the black tiger disappeared and instead he saw an old pine. Moreover, the trunk of this pine is so sturdy and the pine needles are low green. The branches are vigor and the crown is nearly black so that it looks like a black tiger lying under a slope. So it's called "Black Tiger Pine".

    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. In winter tourists could admire the snow and the rimed trees. When the weather is fine, you could view the grotesque rocks, when it is cloudy, you can appreciate the changing clouds, when it rains, you could see the springs and waterfalls, when it snows, you could see the crystal tree and Rimed tree, when it is windy, you could listen to the sound made by the swinging pines. You could be satisfied in any kind of weather.
