"Now I'm in Huangshan Mountain. I think this type of mountain is a No. 1 tourist destination of China and the infrastructure of this place is so nice, attracting too many internal tourists or external tourists.
So I'm very happy to come here to visit, to travel to these places. I hope I will be coming here with my family."

SOUNDBITE 3 (English): OLEG ZOLOTOKRYLIN, Russian citizen
"The Huangshan mountains are the best I have ever seen. You can enjoy as long as you live. So when I started to learn Chinese and Chinese culture, in my university in Moscow, we had a lot of paintings in our university. And I saw the Huangshan mountains there but I didn't believe that they are natural ones. I thought it's just imagination of a painter.
So when I came here, I realized that's the nature, and I'm very much satisfied to see it with my own eyes. And I'm very much happy to be here, and I hope that I will come here again."
