🚌【Transportation】Self-driving navigation "Anhui Qiyun Mountain", take the high-speed rail to Huangshan Station, and take a taxi for 30 minutes
⚠️【Precautions】
1. Small dogs can be brought into the scenic area, and they can also take the cable car, but they must be leashed and not affect other tourists
2. You need to walk on the mountain, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes
A Taoist sanctuary nestled in the crevices of rocks, it is the most renowned mountain in the south of the Yangtze River
Qi Yun Mountain, hailed by Emperor Qianlong as 'a peerless wonderland, the foremost mountain in the south of the Yangtze'. Xu Xiake, a truthful traveler, ascended this mountain twice over three years.
Qi Yun Mountain is one of the four great mountains of Taoism. It is named for its peak being level with the clouds. The red rocks that directly emerge from the ground have been shaped by weathering and the erosive forces of flowing water, creating a 'Danxia landform'.
I never imagined that Huangshan would have such a hidden corner, and I fell in love with it after just one visit

Dengfeng Bridge - An ancient bridge at the foot of Mount Qiyun
Dengfeng Bridge is located at the foot of Mount Qiyun, spanning the Heng River, and serves as the main passageway to Mount Qiyun. Constructed during the Ming Dynasty, it has withstood over 400 years and still stands as 'a rainbow across the stream, a dragon lying on the waves,' with its majestic presence, making it one of the more spectacular ancient bridges in Anhui. It symbolizes the ascent to greater heights, and a local saying goes: 'A glance from the Dengfeng Bridge bestows far-sighted blessings not shallow; a walk on the Dengfeng Bridge promises longevity of ninety-nine years.'
During the Spring Festival, golden dragons dance over the Heng River, and Dengfeng Bridge offers the best vantage point for the spectacle.
Compared to the Yellow Mountains, I have a greater fondness for this less-known mountain
Speaking of Mount Qiyun, one must mention its past life.
In addition to the Yellow Mountains, Mount Qiyun is characterized by its typical Danxia landform, complemented by dinosaur fossils, Taoist culture, and cliff carvings all in one.
Mount Qiyun is one of the four famous Taoist mountains in China, with a long history and profound cultural heritage. Taoism began in the Tang Dynasty, with foundations laid during the Song and Yuan dynasties. During the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty, the third-generation patriarch of the Zhengyi sect, Zhang Zhenren, was ordered to stay, where he conducted rituals, built Taoist temples, and gradually turned it into the center of Taoism in southern China.
During the Ming Dynasty, the incense market was prosperous, and the 'Xuantian Tasu Palace' built by Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was a place that visitors yearned for. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty praised it as 'an unparalleled scenic spot in the world, the number one famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River.' The traveler and explorer 'Xu Xiake' climbed this mountain twice over three years, which shows the beauty of 'Baiyue'.
Walking up the ancient Xiake trail, on the short 1.5-kilometer mountain path, there are thirteen pavilions with distinct styles, known as 'Nine Miles Thirteen Pavilions'. It embodies the Taoist concept of harmony between yin and yang and the idea of health and longevity, hence the saying 'Walk on Mount Qiyun and you will live ninety-nine years longer.'【Main Attractions of Mount Qiyun】
One of the core scenic areas of Mount Qiyun, named for its crescent-shaped terrain. Here, the peaks are beautiful, and stone bridges, stone houses, and stone paths form a 'fairyland on earth' like a paradise.
Beneath the cliff of the Zhenxian Cave Mansion, there are many caves, and the four large characters 'Heaven Opens Divine Beauty' on the cliff of the Zhenxian Cave Mansion serve as its symbol.
Who wouldn't want to live a life where opening the door reveals mountains and clouds?|||
|||. The festive atmosphere of Huizhou during the New Year is truly intense. I made a special trip to Qiyun Mountain during the Spring Festival. Hiking during the day and watching fireworks and fish lantern parades at night, the itinerary was really rich;
1⃣️, The whole of Huangshan is looking forward to the event, where the golden dragon dances across Hengjiang. A bamboo raft-made golden dragon swings its tail over Dengfeng Bridge. With the golden dragon above the bridge, it's like a bird's-eye view, accompanied by a fireworks show, with one at six and another at eight in the evening. The six o'clock show is better for taking photos and videos at dusk;
2⃣️, On Qiyun Mountain, my favorite place is the ancient village of Tianjie in the mountains, built on the edge of a cliff. There are several houses where opening the door reveals the mountains and clouds. Sitting at the doorstep of a small bench in front of a restaurant, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains. Staying in the village on a day with a sea of clouds is like living a day in paradise. The tile eaves of the Huizhou-style architecture near the Little Pot Heaven on the way to Yuxu Temple are truly unique;
3⃣️, When hiking, pay attention to several photo spots: Yuxu Temple, Danxia Corridor, Wangyue Tower, and the photo spot where Yixiantian meets Hengjiang. These high points are also great for overlooking views. Take the cable car up the mountain and head towards Yuxu Temple, where there are many cliff carvings. If you're tired, it's enough to just visit Yuxu Temple. Wulaofeng and Fanglazhai are a bit further;
4⃣️, Now Qiyun Town is bustling at night. In addition to watching the golden dragon dance on Hengjiang at Dengfeng Bridge, you can also participate in the fish lantern parade, watch the iron flower performance, and there's another fireworks show at 8:50 pm. Daytime activities are also rich, including the elegant Huizhou gathering, national music concerts, peddler parades, and folk performances. These activities are not only during the Spring Festival, but they are also available on regular days. Every day in Qiyun Mountain is like celebrating the New Year🧨;
Leaving a thought for the next visit to Qiyun Mountain, I hope not only to see the golden dragon dance on Hengjiang but also to witness the longed-for sea of clouds in the mountains;
Take the chance to go while it's less crowded, as the rapeseed flower sea here has already entered its full bloom
Every spring, a lot of effort is spent in search of flower seas.
Because I'm really scared of the crowds.
On the journey to find flowers, I discovered a secret spot,
which quietly hides beside Mount Huang,
and the rapeseed flower sea has already quietly blossomed~

The ancient bridge at the foot of Qi Yun Mountain seems to have stepped into a painting
There is a Hengjiang River at the foot of Qi Yun Mountain, which is the tributary of Qiantang River, Fuchun River and Xin'an River. On the Hengjiang River, there is a nearly 500-year-old ancient bridge - Dengfeng Bridge, which was just rated as a national key cultural relics protection unit a few years ago. If you come to Qi Yun Mountain and don't take a look at this fairy bridge that can only be seen in ancient paintings, you will definitely regret it when you go back!
As the starting point of the ancient climbing path of Qi Yun Mountain, Dengfeng Bridge played a significant role in ancient times. Now, the mountain range of Qi Yun Mountain, Hengjiang River and the surrounding Hui-style architecture form a landscape of green water, green mountains, white walls, grey tiles and the fairy mist that comes with it, as if the bridge is placed in an ink painting. Whether tourists are slowly sailing towards the bridge hole on a bamboo raft, walking along the banks of Hengjiang River, or walking on Dengfeng Bridge, they will feel like they have stepped into a painting, which is amazing.
Dengfeng Bridge was built in the 15th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1587 AD), made of hemp stone, with a structure of 10 piers and 9 hole arch bridge. The bridge piers are boat-shaped (Figure 8), 162.9 meters long, 7.2 meters wide, and 12 meters high at the highest point. The whole bridge has the momentum of 'crossing the river like a rainbow, lying on the wave like a dragon'. The water-dividing tip is built at the place where the bridge meets the water. The body of the bridge is built of strip-shaped hemp stone, the bridge surface is paved with red sand strip stone, railings are built on both sides, steps are set up for the bridge in the north and south, and a stone archway is erected at the north end of the bridge.
Dengfeng Bridge was built by the ancient Zhi Xian, the prefect of Huizhou. When the stone bridge was completed, it happened that the ancient Zhi Xian was promoted to the inspector of Guangdong by the imperial edict. In order to praise the ancient Zhi Xian's virtue of building bridges, the locals named it 'Dengfeng Bridge', implying 'step by step, step by step', so there is a saying in the local area: 'Walk on Dengfeng Bridge, prolong life by 99.'
📝Dengfeng Bridge tour mode:
1⃣️Take the Hengjiang Mountain and Water Bamboo Raft in the scenic area, you can pass through the bridge hole (Figure 15), the experience is very great.
2⃣️Walk along the Hengjiang River on both sides, you can take a perspective of the side of Dengfeng Bridge (Figure 4)
3⃣️Get on Dengfeng Bridge, get close to this 500-year-old ancient bridge, the bridge surface composition in Figure 17 has a sense of history and can also contrast with the white walls, grey tiles and green mountains.
4⃣️Another hidden point is to climb up Qi Yun Mountain, you can overlook Dengfeng Bridge and the surrounding scenery.
🚗Transportation:
Take the high-speed rail to Huangshan North Station, and there is Xuning 1 Road directly to Qi Yun Mountain. Walk for about 5 minutes to Dengfeng Bridge.

Mount Qiyun in Anhui, a hidden gem with few people and beautiful scenery, poetic autumn colors!
Arrived near the hotel in the afternoon of the first day, recommend Xiangfurui, the hotel is right in front of the cable car station, and next to the cable car is the Hengjiang bamboo raft pier, very convenient.
Put the luggage in the hotel, come out for a walk, the surrounding environment is very good. Dengfeng Bridge has a history of more than 400 years and is a good place to watch the sunset.
Had tofu and grouper fish here in the evening.
The next morning you can choose to take the cable car or walk from Dengfeng Bridge to Xiakke Ancient Road. If you choose to walk, it is recommended to set off at five o'clock, there is a great chance to see the sea of clouds, according to the locals, you can see the sea of clouds half of the year.
There are nine miles and thirteen pavilions along the way, about 40 minutes walk to Wangxian Tower, looking down from the stone bridge of Wangxian Tower, the white walls and black tiles and the golden rice fields are looming in the mist.
Arrived at Tianmen, you can see many cliff carvings.
Zhenxian Cave Mansion is the place with the best feng shui here, and also the place with the most cultural landscapes, which is the essence of the scenic area.
From here you can already see Yuhua Sky Street in the distance, Taisu Palace is the largest palace here, it was built by the emperor's order during the Jiajing period, and the incense burner peak is right in front.
Yuxu Palace is also one of the must-visit attractions, but the palace itself is mostly repaired later.
Climb to the top of the mountain, you can see the Danxia scenery up close, because it looks like a screw, so the locals call it Screw Peak. Shangyue Pavilion is located on the highest peak, this is the best place to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds. From Shangyue Pavilion down the mountain, you can take the cable car to the Hengjiang bamboo raft pier, if you walk, you can choose to return the same way or go down the back mountain. The whole journey of Hengjiang bamboo raft is about 25 minutes, the autumn colors on both sides of Hengjiang are getting thicker, we met Dengfeng Bridge again unexpectedly, but just now we passed by on the bridge, now we are passing under the bridge.

Huangshan did not climb, first climbed Qiyunshan. The weather is really good, don't want it, flash lightning, I just lie down in the hotel and watch the photos of the little friends. Mi thinks that it will turn to the sun at noon, and the weather is nothing to say, just right. You can go up the mountain to see a cloud, and the sky helps me. Because I had a wound on my foot, I didn't want to climb up. I spent money on a cableway going up the mountain. The cloud-filled super cockroach was like a fairyland. The air was especially fresh after the rain, and then I dragged my injured leg all the way. Taoist famous mountain, less than 600m above sea level, but in fact it is not labor-saving from the process of going downhill. To go through many steps, be sure to make a bang. Talk about a few small scenes, one is a middle-aged man who looks like a Taoist priest in a cave, quite accented, also comes with sound-emitting equipment, creating a small atmosphere, no desire, no freedom It is him. There is also the Temple of the God of Wealth, to worship a worship, the heart is spiritual. There is a huge life word, you can live a long life, I have not touched, life and death are rich in the sky. There are a lot of homestays and catering on the mountainside. Similar to the farmhouse, the price will not be particularly cheap. If you want to eat, you should stick to it. The little friend is rushing down the mountain, then you dont want to climb the halo, then walk to the free home. Eating at the restaurant is also very hard to eat.
You can climb the mountain on Qiyun Mountain, or you can take the cableway.
Qiyun Mountain is one of the four famous mountains of Taoism. It is the same as several mountains such as Wudang Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain. It is a 4A scenic spot and is truly a beautiful person.
There are dozens of families living on the mountain. Most of them are accommodations for the renovation of houses. In order to watch the sunrise, they stayed on the mountain for one night.
There are also a few Taoist temples on the mountain, Taisu Palace and Yuxu Palace. Some people have specially brought their incense to the mountains to worship, and begged for peace and smoothness.
On the mountain, you can watch the sunset and the sunrise. The sunrise is often accompanied by the sea of clouds, so it is more exciting.
Looking at the sunrise, I need to get up at five o'clock and start at 5:30. I am very fortunate to see the sea of clouds and see the sunrise.
In the mountainous area of Huangshan City, Anhui Province, in addition to the famous Huangshan Mountain, there is a Qiyun Mountain 30 kilometers away from the urban area. Qi Yunshan's reputation in the past is much larger than it is now. Now it is completely robbed of Huangshan Mountain. Qiyun Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain.
Qiyun Mountain is 585 meters above sea level, less than one-third of Huangshan Mountain. Mountain climbing is relatively easy, suitable for day trips, and of course there are cable cars that can go up the mountain. Qiyun Mountain and Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain are also known as the four famous mountains of Chinese Taoism. There are still many Taoist temples on the mountain.
In the early spring, the mountains are green. At the top of the mountain, it is the entrance to the scenic spot. Buy tickets here.
Qiyun Mountain is called Baiyue, and the Emperor Qianlong praised it as "the world's first place in the world." There are many historical sites on the mountain, and the activity intensity is not large. There are not as many tourists as Huangshan.
Yamashita is a rape field, but now the rape blossom season has passed, it has turned into a green, still can see the shape of the gossip.
Earliest in the Tang Dynasty, there was Taoist activity here. During the Tang Dynasty (758-760), Taoist Gong Qixia traveled to this place and lived in the Tianmen Rock in the mountains. During the Baoqing period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1225-1227), Taoist Yu Daoyuan entered the mountain to practice and created the Yusheng Zhenwu Temple in Qiyunyan. Since then, the Yunyou Taoist priests have come one after another, and the Taoist architecture has become increasingly large.
Qiyun Mountain is still a Danxia Mountain. The mountain is reddish-brown, red as cinnabar, and can be red.
