Don't blindly rush to Sanqing Mountain! Check out this super practical guide first

Dear friends, here’s a fresh, hot guide to help you easily explore this "Number One Immortal Peak in Jiangnan"~ ⛰️【Attraction Highlights】 As a famous Taoist mountain, Sanqing Mountain features unique granite peak forest landforms, with strange peaks and rocks, sea of clouds, and sunrises—every shot looks like a masterpiece. It’s truly deserved to be called "China’s Most Beautiful Peak Forest" certified by National Geographic! Iconic formations like the "Oriental Goddess" and "Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain" are marvels of nature, and seeing them in person is absolutely breathtaking. 🚗【Transportation Guide】 - High-speed Rail: Arrive at Shangrao Station or Yushan South Station. From Shangrao Station, walk 450 meters to Shangrao East Bus Station, then take the Sanqing Mountain tourist shuttle bus. It costs 41 RMB per person to the South Outer Shuangxi Cableway entrance, and 48 RMB per person to the East Jinsha Cableway entrance. From Yushan South Station, go to the tourist distribution center and take a shuttle to the scenic area; the shuttle departs when there are 5 or more passengers, with a one-way ticket price of 30 RMB per person. - Self-driving: Navigate directly to "Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area Visitor Center East (West) Parking Lot" (for the East Jinsha Cableway entrance) or "Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area South Gate Parking Lot" (for the South Outer Shuangxi Cableway entrance). Parking fee is about 30 RMB per day. 🏠【Accommodation Suggestions】 - On the Mountain: - Rishang Mountain Villa: Located in the middle of the scenic area, very convenient for watching sunrise and sunset, and close to the West Coast plank road. - Goddess Hotel: Near the Jinsha Cableway, rooms have floor heating, very comfortable in autumn and winter. However, there are few hotels on the mountain, so book at least one month in advance during peak season! - Off the Mountain: It’s recommended to stay near the Jinsha Cableway, where there are many affordable guesthouses, such as "Jinsha Bay Holiday Hotel," just a 5-minute walk to the cableway. 🗺️【Itinerary Planning】 - One-day Highlights Tour (5-6 hours): Jinsha Cableway → Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain → Oriental Goddess → Azalea Valley → Yutai → One Line Sky → Yuhuang Peak → Sunshine Coast → Jinsha Cableway descent (walking clockwise helps avoid the 299 steep steps, making it much easier) - Two-day In-depth Tour: Day 1: Outer Shuangxi Cableway → West Coast plank road (sunset views are stunning) → Sanqing Palace (camping overnight to experience the starry sky) Day 2: Yujing Peak (best spot for sunrise) → Sunshine Coast → Nanqing Garden → Jinsha Cableway descent 📸【Must-visit Spots】 1. Oriental Goddess: A natural granite formation resembling a young woman, surrounded by morning mist, full of ethereal charm. 2. Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain: A 120-meter-high stone pillar piercing the clouds, breathtaking from aerial views. 3. West Coast Plank Road: A 4-kilometer-long glass skywalk along the cliff, perfect for watching the clouds roll by. 4. Yutai Sunrise: Fewer crowds than Huangshan but equally stunning scenery. Be sure to secure your spot before 5:30 AM. ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 1. Travel light, bring a raincoat and mosquito-proof jacket, as mountain weather is changeable. 2. Cableways close at 5:30 PM, so manage your time carefully to avoid missing the descent. 3. Wear non-slip shoes, as some sections, like One Line Sky, are quite steep. 4. Prices on the mountain are high—bottled water costs 10 RMB, instant noodles 20 RMB—so it’s recommended to bring your own snacks and water. Sanqing Mountain is truly stunning. With a good plan, you’ll have an unforgettable trip. Friends, start arranging your visit now!
