Sights
Every year, tens of thousands of domestic and foreign tourists flock to Yushan's picturesque Sanqing Mountain (三清山), which has been officially designated as a National Scenic Area.
Huaiyu Mountain (怀玉山) is also a tourist attraction. In the Song Dynasty, the great neo-Confucianist Zhu Xi taught there. In Republican times, the area also hosted a guerilla affiliated to the Communist Party of China, led by then legendary general Fang Zhiming.

Famous quotes containing the word sights:
“Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“We can’t always have the beautiful aspect of things. Let us make the most of our sights that are beautiful and let the others go”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“You shall see men you never heard of before, whose names you don’t know,... and many other wild and noble sights before night, such as they who sit in parlors never dream of.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
