The Huangshan Pine trees all over the mountains here are native species growing in high altitudes on steep rocks. They are bathing in the beautiful morning sun rays.
That pine tree on top of a granite column is called "a flower blossoming on the tip of a magic brush". :) The formation might be interesting for a geologist:
The fine-grained porphyritic granites were formed about 128 million years ago, and they weathered into a column under the influence of two vertical joints. The pine tree grows out of the cracks makes it a noticeable sight.
