23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Zen inspired scenery from ancient civilizations
This photo was taken in the deep mountains of the East China Mountains in southern China, where famous Chinese peaks such as Mount Huangshan are gathered. The beautiful scenery here has a history of thousands of years, and many painters in history have created works based on the artistic conception here. The scenery here concretizes the freehand core of Chinese painting, forming a unique ancient Chinese Zen culture.
