Li Bai wasn't lying, this place rivals Yellow Mountain!

Friends, Li Bai was right! Tianzhu Mountain is truly exceptional, not inferior to Yellow Mountain at all! I originally thought the beauty of Yellow Mountain was unmatched, but when I followed Nezha's footsteps to Tianzhu Mountain, wow, I discovered another fairyland mountain that I must climb in my lifetime. Here, the mountains are arranged in rows, the rocks stand tall, and the clouds and mist linger among the peaks, creating a spectacular scene that makes you want to scream. Attraction Introduction: • Tianzhu Peak: The main peak of Tianzhu Mountain, with an altitude of 1489.8 meters, stands tall and pierces the sky like a giant pillar, which is particularly impressive. The peak is covered with smooth, mirror-like dark stones that shimmer under the sunlight. • Mysterious Valley: A group of caves formed by huge rocks. Inside the valley, caves connect to caves, forming a labyrinthine and unpredictable landscape. Walking through it is like being in a maze, full of a mysterious and adventurous atmosphere. • Liandan Lake: A high-altitude lake on Tianzhu Mountain. The lake water is clear and green, surrounded by mountains. Strolling along the lake, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and feel the tranquility and comfort. If you encounter foggy weather, it's like a fairyland. • Green Dragon's Back: A narrow mountain ridge like the back of a giant dragon, with steep cliffs on both sides. Walking on it is both thrilling and breathtaking, offering panoramic views of the surrounding magnificent scenery. Tickets: The regular ticket price is 130 yuan/person, but it's free from August 28 to September 4. Don't miss this great deal if you plan to visit. Best Travel Routes: • Grand Circle Route: Take the cable car from Dalongwo to the top, rest at Zhenyigang to stretch your legs. Then head to Tongtian Valley to experience the wonders of nature; pass by Gaoyin Pavilion and Nanyue Pavilion to appreciate the ancient cultural atmosphere; enter the Mysterious Valley to embark on an exploration; climb Tianchi Peak to overlook the mountains; pass by Xizi Pavilion to learn about history and culture; stroll along Penglai Peak to admire the unique peak forest landscape; visit the Immortal Cave to experience the magic of the cave; explore the Qianlong Cave; walk across the Green Dragon's Back to challenge your courage; climb the Lotus Peak to enjoy the beautiful scenery; pass by Xiguan Village; finally arrive at Liandan Lake to relax, and then take the Dalongwo cable car down the mountain. This route covers all the main attractions of Tianzhu Mountain and is suitable for those with plenty of time and good physical strength. • Small Circle Route: Also take the cable car from Dalongwo to Zhenyigang, head to Nanyue Pavilion, then challenge the Hundred Steps Cloud Ladder, climb Tianchi Peak, explore the Mysterious Valley, return to Zhenyigang, and finally take the Dalongwo cable car down the mountain. This route is shorter and relatively easier, suitable for those with limited time or less physical strength. Best Photo Spots: • On Tianchi Peak, with the distant mountains and misty clouds as the background, the photos taken are magnificent. • At the entrance of the Mysterious Valley, the unique cave landscape combined with figures creates a sense of mystery. • On the Green Dragon's Back, standing on the ridge, with the cliffs and mountains as the background, you can take thrilling and stunning photos. • By Liandan Lake, with the lake and green mountains as the background, the photos taken are fresh and beautiful. Things to Note: • Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a sunny day for hiking, so you can see more beautiful scenery and it's safer. If you encounter bad weather, such as heavy rain or fog, find a safe place to take shelter. • Wear comfortable sports shoes or hiking boots. The mountain roads are rugged, and well-fitting shoes can make your walk easier and prevent falls and injuries. • Pay attention to environmental protection during the climb. Do not litter and take your trash to designated bins. • Food and water prices on the mountain are relatively high. You can bring your own drinking water and snacks to replenish your energy. But don't bring too much, otherwise it will be too tiring to carry. Local Specialties: • Tianzhu Jianhao: This is a green tea with a flat, sword-like shape, uniform and straight, covered with white hairs. Brew a cup, the tea is bright green, with a long-lasting aroma and a fresh and mellow taste. You must try the authentic local Tianzhu Jianhao when you come to Tianzhu Mountain. • Sweet Potato Flour Balls with Braised Pork: Sweet potato flour is made into balls and braised with pork belly. The meat is fatty but not greasy, and the balls absorb the aroma of the meat, making them soft, glutinous, and delicious with rice. • Stone Fungus Stewed Chicken: Stone fungus is a specialty of Tianzhu Mountain. Stewed with chicken, the soup is rich and delicious, the chicken is tender, and the stone fungus is smooth and nutritious. Transportation: You can take the high-speed train to Qianshan Station. There are direct buses from the station to the scenic area for only 10 yuan. If you are driving, just navigate to "Tianzhu Mountain, Anqing City". The cable car costs 80 yuan for the uphill ride and 60 yuan for the downhill ride. Taking the cable car can save energy and offer different views. You can choose according to your own situation.
