Qi Yun Mountain Travel Guide
Two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain, experience the beauty of Danxia landform and ancient villages
Today I'm going to share with you a super awesome two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain that I just experienced. Departing from Huangshan North Station, the scenery along the way is picturesque, as if stepping into a long scroll of landscape.
Transportation:
We started from the high-speed rail Huangshan North Station, took a direct bus or taxi to Qi Yun Mountain, the transportation is very convenient.
Accommodation:
In Qi Yun Mountain town, we chose an antique inn with a quiet environment and complete facilities. The price for one night is very affordable, although the specific cost is not mentioned, but believe me, it's definitely worth it.
Attractions:
On the first day, we visited Qi Yun Mountain, a scenic spot famous for its Danxia landform, which is breathtaking. We took the Yuehua cable car up the mountain and enjoyed the views of the cloud street, cliff carvings, Danxia landform, etc. The tour route includes Wangxian Tower, Shouzi Rock, Zhenxian Cave Mansion, Yuehua Street, Incense Burner Peak, Tai Su Palace, Small Pot Sky, Yuxu Palace, Ziyun Pass, Wulao Peak, Fangla Fort, Danxia Corridor and the highest peak. Finally, we took the cable car down the mountain, looking at the scenery under our feet, as if in a fairyland.
Bilian Pond: There are cliff carvings here, which is a good place for photography.
Yuehua Street: A village on the top of the mountain with shops, restaurants and homestays. Walking on the ancient streets, it's like going back to ancient times.
Small Pot Sky: The hidden 'Gourd Gate', suitable for photography. Standing here, it's like being in a painting.
Yuxu Palace: The red Taoist temple is located under the cliff, very stunning, also a good place for photography.
Tour time:
The whole tour up the mountain takes about 4-5 hours. So I suggest you guys start early.
Precautions:
Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. After all, we have to walk a long mountain road to enjoy these beautiful views.
The last cable car down the mountain is at 16:50, if you miss it, you'll have to walk down. So be sure to keep track of time.
There are many attractions in Qi Yun Mountain, if you want to have a deep tour, it is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance.
Be sure to pay attention to safety on the mountain, do not climb places without safety protection such as rocks.
Please keep the environment clean in the scenic area, do not litter.
Overall, this two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain made me feel the grandeur of nature and the charm of culture. If you also want to have a spontaneous trip, why not come to Qi Yun Mountain!
Mount Qiyun(齐云山)|The Gathering of Clouds
Mount Qiyun of 2061.3 M height, locates at Shangyou County of Jiangxi Province, and one of the Ten Famouse Mountains in Jiangxi.
As it's still not reachable by any pave road, it stays very wild and natural for hikers. It's highly recommended to have a 2-day hike and camp on the mountain top at night. On the way to the top, you would come across a bamboo forest, then thick woods, and then reach a grassland with lots of lovely cow families. What I love this mountain the most, must be the clouds surrounding it, and the stunning sunset, moon-rise, and sunrise! As we just finished enjoying the beautiful sunset, turn around, there was the soft moon rised from the pink and light blue horizon afar. First and best mountain camping experience up till now.
* It's quite windy at the mountain top, do prepare a proper sleeping bag.
* There is a very small stream for water, but a little bit dirty, need to boil before drinking.
* Bring enough food with you as there is no supply on the way up.

An underrated place, Qiyun Mountain, is a must-visit
⛰️ Qiyun Mountain, formerly known as Baiyue, is named for its peak that aligns with the clouds, creating an impression of a mountain equal in height to the clouds. Emperor Qianlong once praised it as 'a peerless scenic spot, the number one mountain in the south of the Yangtze River.' Qiyun Mountain is composed of continental red rock series from the late Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era and features unique Danxia landforms.
📍 Located in Qiyunshan Town, Xiuning County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, 🛣️ it's not long after exiting the highway to reach there.
After arriving at the tourist center, you can choose to take the cable car 🚡 up and down the mountain or hike. It is recommended to hike to see more beautiful scenery. You will pass by Dengfeng Bridge, and along the way up the mountain, there are nine miles and thirteen pavilions for visitors to rest, cool off, take shelter from the rain, and enjoy the surrounding beauty. The 13 pavilions are, in order: First Immortal Pass Pavilion, Stepping Cloud Pavilion, Surrounding Peak Pavilion, Climbing Pavilion, Harmony Pavilion, Baiyue Pavilion, Wind Pavilion, Respect Pavilion, Pine Moon Pavilion, Sea and Sky Pavilion, Cloud Water Pavilion, Approaching Immortal Pass Pavilion, and Viewing Immortal Pavilion, each with its own unique style and characteristics. You will also pass through the First, Second, and Third Heavenly Gates.
Qiyun Mountain offers three routes for visitors with different physical abilities and time constraints 1️⃣ Short Loop (2-3 hours) Viewing Immortal Tower - River Heaven Blessed Land - River Heaven Square - Longevity Rock - First Heavenly Gate - True Immortal Cave Mansion - Second Heavenly Gate Third Heavenly Gate - Moonlight Street - Tai Family Palace - Little Pot Sky - Longevity Tower - Baiyue Restaurant - Yuehua Platform - Meeting Source Platform - No Illusion Path -- Zhanhao Bee - Sitting and Forgetting Platform - Dream True Bridge - Viewing Immortal Tower.

⚠️ Both ascending and descending the mountain are very steep, so be sure to pay attention to safety, wear sports shoes, and be mindful of slippery conditions when it rains. After descending the mountain, you will also see fields of rapeseed flowers, and the 🎈 balloon flying house in the flower fields instantly transports you into a fairy tale world
Anhui, you're being foolish not to promote this place
Compared to the Yellow Mountain, I prefer this Qiyun Mountain that only locals know about!
It combines Danxia landform, cliff carvings, Taoist culture, and picturesque scenery into one, shrouded in mist all year round, truly a Taoist fairy mountain~

Highlights of the 'Great Prairie' in Ganzhou, Jiangxi
"The sky is vast, the field is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and reveals the cattle and sheep." Living in the south of the Yangtze River, many people have imagined galloping across the endless prairies, with shepherd girls singing loudly, and a boundless sea of green with cattle and sheep everywhere.
Today, I will take my friends from the south to a different 'Great Prairie' in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, to experience a different 'prairie style' of the south.
(1)
Yaokou Internet-famous Prairie in Gan County District
In Yaokou, Hujiang Town, Gan County District, this ancient She ethnic village is a pure small mountain village on the Gan River water area. It is the watershed at the border of Gan County District and Wan'an County, facing Wan'an County across the river.
On this vast prairie of ten thousand acres, there is knotweed everywhere, with green waves rippling, and it is stunningly beautiful. The total area of the prairie is about 14 square kilometers, about 50 kilometers from the central urban area of Ganzhou.
🚉Transportation Strategy:
Driving route: Depart from Ganzhou, take the Ganchu Highway—Chutan—Tourism Highway—towards Gutian direction from Hujiang Town Government—Yaokou Village—Internet-famous Prairie. The local mountain roads are winding, so be careful when driving. The riverbed grass is slippery, and visitors should not blindly seek out unfamiliar areas.
(2)
The Prairie in Guobu Town, Chongyi County
During the dry season of March, April, and May every year, a 'Internet-famous prairie' grows on the riverbeds around Guobu.
The river beach is full of greenery, and the wilderness is covered with purple vetch. The light breeze blows, and the green grass surges like waves, just like the secret grass sea realm in Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro.
This is the best season for sky tent camping and luxurious picnics. The prairie activities of Ganzhou's Little Li River are also passionately renewed. Set up a sky tent, prepare a table of meals, and invite a few good friends, 'poetry and distance' are within reach.
🚉Transportation Strategy:
Driving route: Depart from Ganzhou, take the Xiaron Expressway—exit at Chongyi Toll Station—National Highway 357 Jin Yu section—Yangming Lake Wetland Park.
(3)
Shuiyan Qixing Wetland in Shangyou County
In Shuiyan Township, Shangyou County, there is a place where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city and return to the embrace of nature.
This is the Qixing Ecological Kuwan Wetland in Shangyou County—a paradise closer than Hulunbuir.
Bring your family to Qixing Ecological Kuwan Wetland and let your soul be released.
Watch the leisurely herd of cattle, chase the agile egrets, and indulge in the fragrance of wildflowers... Every moment here is a unique memory.
🚉Transportation Strategy:
Driving route: Depart from Ganzhou, take the Xiaron Expressway—exit at Shangyou East Toll Station—Yingbin Avenue—Provincial Highway 547 Shangtai Line, Shangjiang Line—Dongsheng Road—Shuiyan Township.
(4)
Dinglong Reservoir Grassland in Xingguo
Every spring, when the water level of Dinglong Reservoir drops, the 'prairie' hidden underwater will 'float' to the surface. With the spring breeze, the 'prairie' begins to gradually revive. The freshly green grass shyly pokes its head out, and the stiff ground has become as soft as a carpet. The shiny green wild grass sways in the breeze, interspersed with clusters of wildflowers. From a distance, it looks like a floral pattern embroidered on a green carpet, and herds of cattle and sheep immediately start running wildly upon seeing the vast prairie, rolling around on the prairie to their heart's content. Being in such a beautiful prairie naturally puts one in a good mood.
This place is purely natural, with no admission fee, self-entertainment, and you can play however you want. Here you can fully enjoy the beauty and release your purest emotions.
🚉Transportation Strategy:
Driving route: Depart from Ganzhou, take the Xiarong Expressway—Nanshao Expressway—Quannan Expressway—exit at Dinglong Toll Station—Chengxing Section of County Road 454—pass Dinglong Township—Fuxing Farm (mobile banquet).
📝Note tips:
Warm reminder: Water is the source of life. All these 'Great Prairies' are reservoir areas, and many reservoirs are sources of drinking water for people. Therefore, we must cherish these wetlands and prairies as much as we cherish our own eyes. We hope that everyone who comes here will treasure this comfortable corner, keep it clean, remember its scenery when you leave, and take away things that do not belong to it.

Departing from Shenzhen, arrive in 2h | Solo Ganzhou city walk guide
Day1:
🚄9:37-11:35 Shenzhen North - Ganzhou West
🏨12:10 Hotel check-in
🚌13:30 Take the No. 18 scenic line to Tongtianyan Scenic Area
Tongtianyan is known as the number one grotto in the south of the Yangtze River, carved during the Tang Dynasty, flourishing in the Northern Song Dynasty, preserving 359 Tang to Song Dynasty grotto statues and 128 Song Dynasty to Republic of China cliff inscriptions
➡️ There are 2 tour routes in Tongtianyan, the cultural tour takes 2h, returning from the reclining Buddha; the mountain climbing tour takes 6h, I didn't go too far
🔴 Visited Songchao Sleepless City at night
The night view is very beautiful, giving a sense of time travel, with many clothing stores inside where you can experience Hanfu photography
🥣 Dinner Ningdu specialty meatballs, not tasty, felt like all starch
Day2:
This day was just crazy city walking, starting from Yugu Platform to Wei Family Courtyard, all on foot
🔴 Yugu Platform - Ancient City Wall - Bajingtai - Ancient Floating Bridge - Standard Clock Tower - Zao'er Lane - Confucian Temple - Fushougou Museum - Wei Family Courtyard
From Yugu Platform to Bajingtai, it's all along the ancient city wall;
Cross the Ancient Floating Bridge and there's a Shore Coffee on the other side, a good place to rest your feet;
Really liked the Confucian Temple but it's in disrepair, only saw one staff member from beginning to end;
The Fushougou Museum is well worth a visit, it tells about Ganzhou's drainage system, showing the wisdom of the ancients;
The Wei Family Courtyard is really big, displaying Hakka culture, there's a place showing marriage customs, personally found it a bit scary because there was no one there when I visited, but the TV kept playing images and sounds which was quite eerie
Personally, it took me about 5.5h to walk all these places, but I didn't eat anything the whole way, just had a coffee, and also I spent a lot of time taking photos, after all, setting up a tripod and finding angles takes time when you're alone
🥣 Breakfast Anyuan three-fresh noodles, not bad; Dinner was takeout Taopi ordered at the hotel, felt like green rice noodle rolls, but the sauces and chili were not as tasty as those with rice noodle rolls
Day3:
🚄11:07-13:12 Ganzhou West - Shenzhen North
Slept in and then went home
Ganzhou's buses are very cheap, not crowded, and taking the bus is a very good choice if you're not in a hurry
The experience was good, just the dishes were too spicy
🗺️ A two-day one-night trip to Ganzhou on the weekend || To relax over the weekend, I chose Ganzhou, which is relatively close to Guangzhou. Overall, it felt quite leisurely.
🚗 Transportation: It takes just over 2 hours from Guangzhou East Station to Ganzhou West, which is very convenient. Ganzhou West Station is quite far from the city center, but a taxi ride of about half an hour gets you there quickly.
Taxis in Ganzhou are also very convenient, and the attractions are relatively concentrated. From the hotel to the attractions, you can finish visiting on foot.
🏞️ Attractions: Following the guide, our route was Bell Tower → Zao'er Lane → Ancient City Wall → Bajingtai → Yugutai.
Take a ride to the standard Bell Tower, then walk forward to reach Zao'er Lane, and pass through the lane to get to the city wall.
Climb the city wall to overlook the floating bridge, then go straight to Bajingtai, and then to Yugutai.
As long as you don't spend too much time taking photos, etc., you can finish the tour in two to three hours.
Dining Experience: Jiangxi cuisine is too spicy, I was overwhelmed by the spiciness of the first takeout meal. As a non-local, I really couldn't handle it.
The first takeout was from a very famous restaurant, which was just average and very spicy.
But the lunch the next day was really good! Although it was also very spicy, it was much tastier than the previous day! The pickled pepper fish and three-cup chicken were delicious, but indeed very spicy. Friends who like spicy food might want to give it a try.
🏨 Accommodation: I chose the Grand Skylight Hotel, which is about a ten-minute drive to the attractions, and the taxi fare is only about ten yuan. The room conditions were quite good, and I even got an upgrade to a room with a river view. The buffet dinner at the hotel was also good, and for this price, the buffet is definitely great value for money.

The Devout Town Scenic Area of Longnan is located on the edge of the Jiulian Mountains, with an average altitude of 600 meters, boasting 100,000 acres of bamboo forests, 10,000 acres of organic tea gardens, and up to 110,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic meter!
The Devout Town Scenic Area of Longnan includes four core scenic areas: Cherry Blossom Valley, Mirror Heart Lake, Bathing Heart Valley, and Devout Court. The overall planning is 100,000 acres, which is a leisure and vacation experience base integrating devout tea culture, tourism, leisure, health care, business meetings, agricultural and sideline products, traditional crafts, and agricultural experience!
Sitting in the heart of the 100,000-acre bamboo forest, the mountain villas hidden in the bamboo groves are like houses growing in the bamboo sea. Tonight, we are in Taoyuan, outside the Chashan Mountain, breathing the most natural natural fragrance of the bamboo forest, enjoying the most elegant tea dreams in the mountains...
As a characteristic cultural town of tea tourism in Cangzhou City, Jiangxi Province, Xinxin Town is characterized by tea, which meets the needs of many people for leisure and holiday travel, so that those who have lived in the big city for a long time can find a place to return to the place to be quiet, Let go of relaxation.
When you come to the heart of the town, you can clearly feel the pure natural gas here, the sky turns blue, the air is fresh, and the antique buildings are in harmony, as if the troubles of the world are thrown away. Jiuyun Yunwai.
Since it is a cultural town of tea tourism, tea is an essential element. A cup of warm and mellow tea soup, you really found the cultural connotation of the town.
Xingxin Town is located in Longnan County, Cangzhou City, Jiangxi Province. This recently emerging tea culture and cultural town is located at the junction of Jiangxi Province and Guangdong Province. It is unknown in the deep mountains. Currently, there are not many tourists, very clean, away from Guangzhou. Just over two hundred kilometers, it is really a good place for tourists from neighboring cities to come and shun.
I am most impressed here, but also count their "ice wine". It turns out that if you want to drink this kind of "ice wine" hidden in bamboo, you must use a small hammer to knock the green bamboo out of a small mouth, and the wine inside can be poured out for everyone to enjoy.
The liquor poured out from the bamboo is light yellow, and there is fine bamboo fiber material in the wine. It smells very sweet, and the fragrance of green bamboo invades into the wine, and the fragrance of the wine has been merged for many years. One, even if you don't drink alcohol, don't know wine, just smell it, it is enough to make you intoxicated.

Ancient Fubridge
🌟Highlights:
March and April are the best times to visit this ancient city.
The shouting stalls on the shore, the grandmothers beating clothes by the river, although there is no time machine, you can still vaguely see the swaying cured fish on the boats, which were also hung here during the Song Qian Dao years,
In the small boats beside the floating bridge, some people stand alone at the bridge head looking into the distance, while others play in groups of three or two, each with their own happiness, each with their own sorrows.
What can make you travel back in time might be the magnificent palace walls of the capital, or it could be the common fireworks by the Gan River.
By the side of Ganzhou's floating bridge, a thousand years can be seen in a glance.
