要画好中国山水画，必须从黄山山水写生中去学习体验。黄山天然多巧石，奇松姿态美，山岩多皴法，最宜画山水。
——李可染
To draw a good Chinese landscape painting, one must go to Mt. Huangshan to paint from nature. Huangshan is naturally enriched with picturesque rocks, fantastic pines and peaks similar to textural strokes; therefore it is the most appropriate place to learn painting landscapes.

艺术趣味的培养存赖于传统文化的滋养。只有到了徽州，登临黄山，方可领悟中国之诗、山水、艺术的韵味和意象。

江南地暖，故独宜茶。浮梁歙州，万国来求。徽州茶历史悠久，明代有松萝，继而祁红、屯绿享誉海内外。在当代中国十大名茶中，黄山毛峰、太平猴魁、祁门红茶均榜上有名，其中祁门红茶两次荣膺国际金奖。徽州茶商成绩斐然，吴裕泰、张一元等老字号享誉京城，有口皆碑。

Warm climate makes areas south of the Yangtze River very suitable for tea planting. Among these areas, Fuliang and Shezhou are the most well-known. Huizhou tea has a long history. Since the Ming Dynasty, sunglo, keemun and twankay have all established an international reputation. Nowadays, Huangshan maofeng, Taiping houkui and keemun black tea have also found their places in the top 10 list of the most famous Chinese tea, and the latter even won the International Gold Award twice. Besides, Huizhou tea dealers have made brilliant achievements. Time-honored Huizhou shops such as ‘Wuyutai' and ‘Zhangyiyuan' have already had an outstanding reputation in Beijing and are widely praised allover the country.
