The climbing guide to the Taoist paradise Mount Sanqing is truly beautiful
🏔️ Mount Sanqing is not just a mountain; it's a fairyland shrouded in mist, a 5A scenic spot that harbors the mysteries of Taoist culture and the marvels of nature.
🚗🌈 Traffic Tips: A fast track to the fairyland! I chose to take the train to Shangrao Station, shared a ride from there, and although it was a dusty journey, it was convenient. For a comfortable direct route, Yushan and Shangrao are both good choices!
🚠 Cable Car Notes: The Wai Shuangxi cable car is a tranquil choice. Although the hiking trail is temporarily closed, it offers a quiet and quick ascent to the summit; the Jinsha cable car is family-friendly, with complete facilities, capturing all the popular spots in one go. Bring your family and kids for an easy get√ to the stunning sight of the 'Python Emerging from the Mountain'!
💰 Ticket Info: Ticket + cable car, a one-stop deal for 245 yuan, with a cost-performance ratio so high it'll take off, remember to plan ahead to avoid the anxiety of queuing!
👣 Hiking Guide: The grand loop is tempting, but the journey always likes to play tricks. The 9-kilometer West Coast is enough to intoxicate me, with sunsets like poetry, breathtakingly beautiful! Next time, I will definitely complete the full journey without giving up! 🏃♀️🌅
🏕️ Overnight on the Summit: The little nest on the mountain, whether it's the warmth of a hotel or the wild charm of camping, will let you sleep under the stars and embrace the first rays of sunlight upon waking. 🛌✨
🌟🌟 Exclusive Tips:
1️⃣ Although the mountain roads are good, one must also assess their strength, especially when traveling with the elderly and children, and prioritize safety! 👵🧒
2️⃣ Sunrise and sunset each have their own charm, Yutai welcomes the dawn, the West Coast embraces the dusk, and under the tents in Azalea Valley, you sleep under the stars. 🌄🌃
3️⃣ Avoid the crowds and embrace the sea of clouds. Pick a good day, and when Mount Sanqing is enveloped in mist, it's like a fairyland. Make sure your camera is fully charged to take amazing photos that will blow up your social media! 📸✨

🌟 Sharing my 2-day and 1-night hiking route:
-
Day 1️⃣: Jinsha Cableway - Goddess of the East - Python Emerging - Penguin Offering Peach - Azalea Valley - Yutai - One-Line-Sky - Sunrise Platform - Sunrise Mountain Villa (overnight rest)
🔻
Day 2️⃣: Sunrise Mountain Villa - West Coast Platform - Monkey King Viewing Treasure - Flying Immortal Terrace - Purple Smoke Terrace - Sanqing Temple - Sunshine Coast Scenic Area - Yu Huang Summit - Python Emerging - Goddess of the East - Jinsha Cableway

This route covers the characteristic beautiful scenery of Mount Sanqing! Hiking is especially suitable, with about 5-6 hours of walking each day. When we went during Qingming, the fog was thick, and we couldn't see the unique rocks like the Goddess of the East and Python Emerging, but the distant foggy view was really beautiful! Truly a fairyland mountain.
🔸
🚇 About transportation:
We departed from Hangzhou East Station and arrived directly at Yushan South Station. From there, you can choose to take a taxi directly, which costs about 100, or you can go to Yushan Bus Station and take a bus for 15r per person, which takes you directly to Jinsha Cableway in about an hour.
🔸
🥩 About dining 🍴
Food on the mountain is quite expensive, so you can bring some dry food with you. If you really don't want to carry food, you can have noodles on the mountain, which cost about 40-50 yuan per bowl.
🔻
Mount Sanqing is relatively easy to climb, with many flat slopes, so it's not too tiring! After climbing the mountain and returning to Yushan, you can also try the local Jiangxi cuisine!

Little Mount Huang in Jiangxi truly lives up to its reputation! I'll come back again in winter!
A real-life Zelda? Jiangxi really has some hidden gems
A real-life Zelda? Jiangxi really has some hidden gems. When I think of Jiangxi, the first thing that comes to mind is its famous mountains! From Lushan and Sanqing Mountain to the recently popular Wugong Mountain, they attract numerous tourists to set foot. However, compared to the former's popularity, I prefer the lesser-known but stunningly beautiful Qifeng in Jiangxi. This place is not only known for its Danxia landform and peculiar peaks but is also acclaimed as a 'World Natural Heritage Site', offering picturesque scenes at every step, like poetry in motion.

Let's go hiking together, to Mount Sanqing
Mount Sanqing, that is a mysterious and beautiful peak, standing in the embrace of Jiangxi. Its name originates from Taoism, symbolizing the three revered gods of Taoism—Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun.
Standing at the foot of Mount Sanqing, looking up, you can see the peaks towering into the clouds, as if reaching straight into the sky. Climbing up the winding mountain path, the scenery along the way is picturesque, captivating one's gaze. The woods in the mountains are lush, the streams babble, and occasionally you can encounter a few cute squirrels frolicking in the forest.
When you reach the summit, the view before you is even more breathtaking. You see the sea of clouds rolling, the mountains undulating, as if the whole world is at your feet. Standing here, you will feel the greatness and magic of nature, as well as the peace and tranquility of your soul.
Mount Sanqing is a peak full of mystery and natural beauty. It awaits you to explore, discover, and appreciate its beauty.
Mount Sanqing, although not as renowned as the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks, its scenery is no less spectacular
But the scenery is no less spectacular.
The emergence of a python from the mountain is a must-see, the scenery is super amazing.
Fairyland, is the most extraordinary natural landscape of Mount Sanqing.
Mount Sanqing, I declare it the most beautiful mountain I have ever climbed.

Mount Sanqing is quite interesting, with road signs all left to guesswork.
You might guess the beginning correctly, but not the ending.

You must choose your route based on your physical condition.

Walked a big outer loop plus a visit to Yuqing Palace.
I am impressed with myself.
The ascent route on Mount Sanqing is particularly long,
The big circuit is over ten kilometers of climbing,
Most of which are steps, truly explosive.
Driving on the winding mountain road, ahead is Mount Sanqing!
Mount Sanqing is located in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, roughly between the city of Shangrao and Wuyuan County. The route I chose starts from Quzhou in Zhejiang Province, enters Shangrao City in Jiangxi Province, heads to Mount Sanqing from there, and then reaches Wuyuan after Mount Sanqing. This route includes the hottest scenic spots such as Mount Sanqing and Huangling, and after finishing the trip, I return to Shanghai from Huangshan City in Anhui Province. It's a small loop that doesn't backtrack, and the cities along the way all have nice scenery and unique local delicacies.
Let's talk about Mount Sanqing! It is a famous Taoist cultural mountain in our country, as well as a world-class and national natural heritage and geological park. The highest peak of Mount Sanqing is 1819.9 meters, with the mountain mainly composed of granite. The rock peaks that can only be seen when the cable car reaches the middle of the mountain look like the high and mighty immortals overlooking the world. Next, you need to choose a tour route based on your own conditions. I chose the medium loop, which takes about 5 hours in total, allows you to visit most of the attractions, and has moderate physical requirements, suitable for both the elderly and children.
The scenery of Mount Sanqing is first-rate, with most of the plants on the mountain remaining lush even in winter. The hiking route is not too strenuous, and a deep tour of the entire area can be completed in just one day. It is very suitable for a family trip. And if you want to travel to Mount Sanqing, self-driving is indeed the best choice, with equally beautiful scenery along the way. Finally, a warm tip: prepare hiking sticks and anti-slip shoe covers before going up the mountain!
Promise me, Mount Sanqing must appear on your travel list!
It has too many titles
"One of the five most beautiful peak forests in China"
"National 5A-level scenic spot"
"Listed in the 'World Heritage List'"
You want to see natural landscapes, here they have everything, as if it's the fairy's backyard
At the beginning of the New Year, come here to watch a sunrise, any casual shot is like a Swiss blockbuster
Heading to Yujing Peak
The best place to watch the sunrise is Yujing Peak, the highest peak of Mount Sanqing, with the best view, even those with clumsy hands can easily take great photos.
There are two routes to Yujing Peak, one is from Nanqing Garden through Chongxiao Valley to Yujing Peak, with a section called Hero Slope, this path is more natural and primitive, less crowded and quiet. The other is from Sanqing Palace through Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion to Yujing Peak, which is the route most tourists choose, the trail on this route is relatively gentle, and after ascending Yujing Peak, descending through Chongxiao Valley, the steepest part becomes downhill, which saves more energy and is less difficult.
Summiting Yujing Peak
In the early morning, summiting Yujing Peak, the sunlight gradually falls on the ridge, and the white clouds wander in the valleys, forming a picture like a fairyland. The distant mountains are looming, the lush trees sway in the morning mist, the breeze passes by, bringing a touch of coolness and tranquility.
Standing on the east side of the peak, the moment to welcome the sunrise is coming. The dawn of the sky begins to appear, the golden light gradually spreads, reddening the sky, dyeing the clouds. The distant mountains appear even more majestic and magnificent in the morning light, and the clouds are draped in golden sunlight, as if a magical scroll is unfolding before your eyes.
You ask me where is the most beautiful, the answer is right before your eyes
As the sun slowly rises, the entire valley is enveloped in golden light, the interplay of light and shadow, reflecting the streams and forests in the mountains, making the whole scenery even more splendid and colorful. Standing at the top of Yujing Peak, immersing yourself in the beauty of the sunrise, as if you are in a fairyland, feeling refreshed and tranquil, your soul is purified.
Remember to choose your spot in advance, because this is the best moment to capture a photo that records life
Green tea, a specialty from Shangrao
Shangrao, historically known as Xinzhou and Guangxin, is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi Province, located in the northeastern part of the province. It borders Zhejiang Province to the east, Fujian Province and Yingtang City of Jiangxi Province to the south, Fuzhou City, Nanchang City, and Jiujiang City to the west, and Jingdezhen City and Huangshan City of Anhui Province to the north. Shangrao serves as a regional central city, a Type II large city, and a third-tier city in Jiangxi Province, covering a total area of 22,737 square kilometers.
The name Shangrao is said to originate from the phrase 'a place of superior richness.' Historically, it was part of the Wu region. In the 15th year of Jian'an during the Eastern Han Dynasty (210 AD), Poyang County was established. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the territory of today's Shangrao City was long divided between Raozhou and Xinzhou (renamed Guangxin during the Yuan Dynasty); Wuyuan County belonged to Huizhou. In 1949, the Shangrao Special District was established. In 2000, it was renamed Shangrao City. Shangrao is one of the birthplaces of Taoism; it is the hometown of Zhu Xi, Zhan Tianyou, Fang Zhimin, and Xin Qiji also lived here for a long time. Shangrao has a fine revolutionary tradition, having established the revolutionary base in northeastern Jiangxi. The city boasts rich tourism resources, including the Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area, Guifeng Scenic Area, and Jiangwan Scenic Area, which are three national AAAAA-level tourist attractions; Sanqing Mountain, China Danxia, and Wuyi Mountain are three World Heritage Sites. Wuyuan County in Shangrao City has been recognized as a national demonstration area for all-region tourism.
I regret coming late to the celestial mountain of Sanqing, a place one must visit in this lifetime
One should definitely make a trip to Sanqing Mountain in Jiangxi! As Su Dongpo said, 'Having visited all the great mountains, the most spectacular views are found in Sanqing'! Sanqing Mountain, also known as Shaohua Mountain or Yashan, is a blend of beauty, strangeness, steepness, and tranquility, and is known as the 'Little Huangshan'. The mountain is named after the three peaks of Yujing, Yuxu, and Yuhua, which resemble the Taoist Three Pure Ones sitting atop the mountain.
Sanqing Mountain is called 'Little Huangshan', but it is by no means a replica of Huangshan. Some of its scenic spots even surpass those of Huangshan. Su Shi also wrote in his poem, 'Having visited all the great mountains, the most spectacular views are found in Sanqing'. With its towering peaks and deep valleys that have evolved over a billion years, it is one of the world's natural heritages and one of the five most beautiful peak forests in China, known as 'the most beautiful granite on the western edge of the Pacific'.
The highest peak of Sanqing Mountain reaches an altitude of 1819.9 meters. The weather on the mountain is unpredictable, and one can experience the changes of the four seasons within a single day. Within the same day, one can also experience overcast skies, sunset, light rain, and a sea of clouds. One moment you might be marveling at the magnificent sea of clouds, and the next moment you might be delighted by the glory of the sunset that fills the entire mountaintop. The beauty of the mountain scenery is beyond imagination and cannot be fully described in words.
You must see it with your own eyes and marvel at it!
Experience a high-end mountain tour at the 'budget version of Huangshan'
Sanqing Mountain resembles a 'budget version of Huangshan' in terms of its shape. It is also a granite mountain, with various astonishing rocks and proud pines and cypresses standing on the cliffs. As a World Heritage site, it is definitely worth a visit. The mountain's touring routes are relatively mature, offering different options for people with varying levels of physical fitness. However, the service facilities are somewhat inferior, and if you want to stay overnight on the mountain to watch the sunrise, the options are limited. Due to the lack of a mature full climbing route, the cable car has almost become a 'must' for touring Sanqing Mountain. However, the current cable car capacity is somewhat insufficient for holidays, and the waiting time for the cable car can be so long that it makes you question life. Considering that it takes at least three to five hours to make a round trip on the mountain, and the road journey to the mountain is not short, it is advisable to stay at the foot of the mountain the night before and head up early in the morning on holidays.
Hiking through Mount Sanqing offers a unique view with every step, a picturesque scene at every turn
📍Shangrao City·Mount Sanqing Scenic Area
I can handle the climbing difficulty of Mount Sanqing, but the scenery is truly magnificent. Arriving at the destination at 9:00, it's impossible to finish exploring in one day; the area is vast. The entire process involves continuous walking and climbing. My sisters, when you go hiking, choose a day with good weather, and avoid overcast days, because it will be a bit cold when you reach the summit, with mist swirling around, feeling like a fairyland. However, the scenery is truly breathtaking and well worth the trip. On the way, you can see the peculiar pines and strange rocks of Mount Sanqing, seas of clouds, and even cute little squirrels🐿. What are you waiting for?

The majestic and splendid peaks of Sanqing Mountain inspire awe at the magic and endless charm of nature
The sea of clouds over Mount Sanqing is so beautiful that I feel as if I am in the fairyland of Penglai, floating and yearning for immortality. The sun-drenched Mount Sanqing exudes a grand and lofty beauty, while the misty Mount Sanqing in the rain offers a hazy and ethereal beauty. Gazing into the distance from the mountaintop, whether basked in sunlight or shrouded in mist, one can see different stunning beauties and feel the breath of nature. Looking up, all I see are layers of distant mountains stretching towards the horizon, clear at close range but gradually blurring into the distance, disappearing at the far edge of the sky. Between the mountains lies a thick layer of clouds and mist, revealing only the peaks, not the bases.
One of China's most beautiful peak forests: Mount Sanqing
Mount Sanqing is one of the five most beautiful peak forests in China, and is considered to be the most beautiful granite on the edge of the Western Pacific. The granite landforms of Mount Sanqing are varied and diverse, with six types being the most precious: granite peaks, granite peak walls, granite peak clusters, granite stone forests, granite peak pillars, and granite stone cones.

Why visit Mount Sanqing Scenic Area in winter?
1. Fewer people and more tranquility; what you see are the true wonders of unique rocks🤔 and sea of clouds, not crowds of tourists.
2. Winter offers beautiful snowscapes❄️ and rime💦, with the strange rocks becoming even more rugged under the snow's cover. Winter is also the season with the most frequent sea of clouds. The four wonders of Mount Sanqing are even more impressive in winter!
Snow | The snow lights up the mountain city, cold as jade❄️
Snow is the eternal theme of winter. The north wind howls across the sky, and the heavy snow blankets the mountains, covering everything in sight. The peaks are adorned with jade, and the trees are gilded, creating an incomparably magnificent scene. It's like being in a pure white fairy tale world. The green waters are worry-free, wrinkled by the wind, and the green mountains are not old, but whitened by the snow. When winter snow covers Mount Sanqing, there's a chill in the breath and a glint in the eye like glass.
Rime | The cold air forms ice like pearls🌈
Rime is a famous winter sight at Mount Sanqing. In the bitter cold of deep winter, the mountain is adorned with jade trees and silver flowers, neither snow nor frost, more peculiar than snow, more beautiful than frost. In the brilliant sunshine, it sparkles and dazzles, a truly spectacular sight. Mount Sanqing has many Huangshan pines, which under the rime seem to wear crystal coats, standing tall and graceful on the mountain peaks and cliffs.
Sea of Clouds | The strong wind boldly plays with the sea of clouds🌫
Winter is the best season to view the sea of clouds. At the summit, looking down at the cloud layers, one sees an endless expanse of clouds, as if standing by the shore of a vast ocean, with waves surging and spray splashing. The sky full of mist and cumulus clouds drift with the wind, rising and falling, swirling and stretching, forming a unique and ever-changing spectacle of a grand sea of clouds.

3️⃣Transportation

~Little Tips:1. When going up⛰, be sure to follow the route and follow the signs. (There is a map on the paper ticket)
2. Prepare water and food
3. Although much of the snow has melted, there is still ice on the roads, so be careful when walking
4. Different seasons offer different sceneries, but I personally prefer Mount Sanqing in winter.

Winter in Sanqing | Embrace the beauty of the Five Great Mountains, with the most magnificent views at Sanqing Mountain
It's so comfortable to visit Sanqing Mountain during the off-season, without the hassle of crowds. During my solitary journey, I synchronized my steps with those of the ancients, as if I were traveling through time with Su Dongpo and Xu Xiake. Here's my itinerary for your reference: Take the Jinxi Shuangxi cable car up and down, and I stayed at the Ri Shang Mountain Villa, which I do not recommend due to its poor conditions. It's a 20-minute uphill walk from the cable car to the villa, so be mindful of the weight of your luggage, and it's best not to bring a suitcase.
1️⃣ On the first afternoon, start from the mountain villa in a counterclockwise direction to Yuhuangding, then walk along the Sunshine Coast to the West Coast. The sunset is just perfect for viewing from the West Coast, absolutely beautiful!!
2️⃣ Get up early at 5 am on the second day, it takes about 1 hour to reach Yutai to watch the sunrise. The area around Yutai is also nice, and it's not necessary to squeeze onto Yutai itself. After watching, continue counterclockwise to the Nanqing Garden scenic area, take a look at the giant butterfly and the goddess, and then head back to the mountain villa to descend.

Strolling in Shangrao, Jiangxi, every step is a scenery
Today I'm going to take you into a charming place - Shangrao, Jiangxi. Here there are rolling mountains, sparkling lakes, and those ancient towns and villages that make people yearn for.
In Sanqing Mountain, we can climb the peak together and feel the fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist. Standing on the top of the mountain, it seems that we can touch the sky, that kind of shock, photos can't fully capture.
Walking on the path of Wangxian Valley, it's like walking into a vivid landscape painting. The fresh air, the green vegetation, and the occasional bird calls make people involuntarily slow down and immerse in this tranquility.
When we come to Wuyuan, we might as well rent a small boat and gently ripple on the river. The Huizhou-style buildings on both sides of the river come into view, as if we have traveled through the ancient scrolls.
Strolling in the ancient village of Huangling, every piece of moss on the stone road tells the vicissitudes of history. And those terraced fields built along the mountain are the most beautiful proof of the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
At night, we can look up at the starry sky together and let our souls relax completely under the quiet night sky.
Buddies, if you also yearn for such a trip, come to Shangrao, Jiangxi! Here, every breath is fresh air, every blink is beautiful scenery.
The above is the travel notes of Shangrao, Jiangxi I prepared for you, I hope you will like it. If you find it useful, don't forget to like and collect it! See you next time!

Sanqing Mountain Guide
Reason for recommendation: The scenery is extremely beautiful, like a fairyland; the climbing intensity is not large, friendly to outdoor beginners.
Lucky reference point: This trip successfully saw the sunrise, sunset, sea of clouds Time: New Year's Day 2024 (two days and one night) Major transportation: Shanghai←→Shangrao---High-speed rail
Shangrao←→Sanqing Mountain---Bus/Carpool (Carpool price per person is 50, there are taxi drivers at the bus boarding point asking if you want to carpool. You can try to politely ask for the price, this time the round trip is by carpool, it's reliable and there's no need to wait. The round trip is 50 yuan)
Accommodation: Ri Shang Villa (Cost-effective, and close to the sunset viewing point, about 15 minutes away, after watching the sunset immediately down the mountain, you can return to the hotel before dark) Tour route for the first day:
Take the Wai Shuangxi cable car up the mountain, walk to Ri Shang Villa, about 15~20 minutes. (The journey looks close, but it's actually all uphill steps, if you have a lot of luggage it's quite strenuous. There are porters at the foot of the mountain who charge about 50 yuan for a suitcase and a bag, if you're a girl with poor physical strength, you can consider it. I asked the porter to carry my luggage to save energy for climbing.)
Route: Ri Shang Villa→Sunshine Coast→West Coast→Ri Shang Villa Time: Including watching the sunset and resting in between, it took a total of 3.5 hours Intensity: Only the beginning part is uphill, after the Sunshine Coast it's basically flat, overall it's a very comfortable line.
Sunset viewing point: The entire West Coast is facing due west, and the view is very good, in fact, the entire line can see a beautiful sunset. But the best point is after the glass plank road at a small shop (Picture One
