Huangshan (literally Yellow Mountain) is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China. The area is well known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly-shaped granite peaks, Huangshan pine trees, hot springs, winter snow, and views of the clouds from above. Huangshan is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations. The pine tree featured aft of the cockpit windows was the famous "Ying Ke Pine", or "Welcome Pine".

This livery was the result of cooperation between the regional airline and the local tourism office.
