Severely underestimated! 99% of people who come to Anhui miss this obscure fairy mountain|||When traveling to Anhui, I dare say 99% of people have missed this treasure of a Taoist fairy mountain! I've been to Anhui no less than 5 times before I discovered this place, and compared to the crowded and expensive Huangshan next door, I prefer this place. 📍Location: Qi Yun Mountain, Xiuning County, Anhui 🚗Transportation: Drive directly to Qi Yun Mountain, or take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station or Yi County Station, then take a taxi for about 20 minutes. 🏠Accommodation: After arriving at the Qi Yun Mountain Visitor Center, take the shuttle bus to the 'Free Home' tree house for check-in. I highly recommend it, come to Qi Yun Mountain to experience the forest tree house of 'Free Home', with 60 different style designed forest tree houses, 'airplane, flying saucer, building block tree house...'. Staying here is like walking into a fairy's forest cabin, not only full of atmosphere, but also very comfortable and private. 🎡Attractions: In addition to mountain climbing and sightseeing, Qi Yun Mountain also offers archery, rock climbing, camping, golf, etc. ⛰️⛰️⛰️Qi Yun Mountain Travel Guide This severely underestimated famous Taoist mountain in Anhui, with rich scenic resources, Taoist temples under the cliffs, Danxia strange mountains, ancient villages on the cliffs, forests, tree houses, is indeed the Qi Yun Mountain that made Xu Xiake linger. ⛰️Mountain climbing route: Yuehua Cableway (up the mountain)—Wangxian Tower—Shouzi Rock—Zhenxian Cave Mansion—Yuehua Sky Street—Xiaohu Sky—Yuxu Palace—Wulao Peak—Fangla Village—Danxia Corridor—Summit—Return Cableway down the mountain Starting from Wangxian Tower, there are many places to take photos along the way, and it took about half a day to walk and take photos all the way. 📍Especially recommend Yuxu Palace, a Taoist temple built under the Danxia cliff, too amazing! The cover is taken here. 📍There is also an ancient village on the mountain that retains a very simple style, with white walls and grey tiles, very picturesque! This place is really too niche, because everyone only knows about Huangshan next door, there are basically no people all the way, it feels like accidentally entering a fairyland. 🕐Cableway operation time: 8:15-16:50
