How could you not know about this hidden fairy mountain?

Though the colors of the treasure gourds in the fields have faded, I was amazed by the fresh emerald green of Qiyun Mountain. Four hours wandering through misty greenery, accompanied by wind, drizzle, clouds, cliffside paths, and a little white cat... Qiyun Mountain, anciently called Baiyue, is one of the Four Sacred Taoist Mountains. Its temples are mostly built into mountain caves, with cliff carvings etched into unique Danxia rock formations. The blend of Taoist culture and Hui-style architecture, set against the ever-changing mountain mists—what else could this be but a fairyland? ⭕ Detailed Guide 🎫 Ticket: 68💰    🚡 Combo Ticket: 198💰 🚌 Transport: Take Xiuning Bus Line 1 directly from Huangshan North Station. 📇 Free Entry Policy: 1⃣️ Free every Wednesday, 2⃣️ Rotating monthly free entry for residents of Anhui Province. ⭕ Accommodation Stay in Qiyun Town at the mountain's base, where there are many shops. Qiyun Mountain Resort Hotel is a great choice—excellent facilities, impeccable service and meals, and very close to the cableway. ⭕ Tour Routes 🔹 Qiyun Mountain has three routes: large, medium, and small loops. Choose based on your stamina. Grab a map at the visitor center before climbing. 🔹 I took the large loop—4 hours round-trip via cableway. Route: Wangxian Tower ➡️ Longevity Rock ➡️ Zhenxian Cave Temple ➡️ Luck-Turning Platform ➡️ Moonlight Sky Street ➡️ Taisu Palace ➡️ Small Pot Heaven ➡️ Yuxu Palace ➡️ Purple Cloud Pass ➡️ Fangla Cave ➡️ Fangla Fort ➡️ Danxia Corridor ➡️ Summit ➡️ Cave Heaven Blessed Land ➡️ Wangxian Tower ⭕ Must-Visit Spots 🔷 Mountain Highlights Main attractions: Cave Heaven Blessed Land, Cave Heaven Arch, Longevity Rock, Zhenxian Cave Temple, Incense Burner Peak, Taisu Palace, Small Pot Heaven, Yuxu Palace, Fangla Fort, Danxia Corridor, etc. 🔷 At the Base 🏄‍♂️ Hengjiang Bamboo Raft: Take a boat tour near the cableway station before or after climbing. 🦛 Free Nature Petting Zoo: Great for kids, featuring capybaras, peacocks, alpacas, African ground squirrels, and more. 🏘️ Nankeng Village: Navigate to Nankeng Village—across the bridge from the petting zoo lies vast fields, beautifully framed by the mountains. The gourd flower fields seen from above are here. From the cableway's panoramic river views to the dazzling night fireworks show, my two-day, one-night trip to Qiyun Mountain was packed. Above, a celestial palace; below, the earthly world. This blessed fairy mountain near Huangshan is truly worth it. The journey continues, always setting out... This is Zanian's Travel Log...
