    Situated o­n the southwest of Huangshan, Shiren Peak is next to the Shizhu Peak, west of Stone Bed Peak. It is o­ne of the 36 peaks, with 1310m altitude. o­n the top of the peak, there are two senior-shaped stones sitting face to face. They never change a bit after so long time, hence the name "Shiren Peak".

    Chen Gongyi of Ming Dynasty had a poem to the Shiren Peak "KouKouYanXiaWangLiShou, XiangQiangCengYouYiDiTou? GaoYanDuliZhenQianGu, KuiShaRenJianRuanMeiLiu."It means even the strong-willed Xiang Yu (the strongest warrior of China)have o­nce bowed his head, but the two senior-shaped stones never move in thousands of years.

    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.
