2025 Qianshan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

I went to Tianzhu Mountain in Anhui this summer and discovered that this fairy mountain is really underestimated. Here I saw the mist-shrouded fairyland, as well as the strange peaks and beautiful water, and was shocked by the uncanny workmanship of nature! As one of the three famous mountains in Anhui that is as famous as Huangshan, it is less crowded and smooth to visit. 🚣‍♀You can also go canyon rafting here, which is cool and exciting. Going there during summer vacation is simply a much better experience than Huangshan. - 📍Tianzhushan Global Geopark 💰Tickets: 130r/person, cableway up 80r/person, down 60r/person, Jiuqu River Canyon Rafting + high-altitude glass rafting 198r/person. 👉How to get there 🚅Take the high-speed rail to Qianshan Station and transfer to the tourist line for 10r/person. You can also take a taxi directly. ✈You can fly directly to Anqing Tianzhushan Airport or drive there by yourself. There are many parking lots in the scenic area. - 🏞Game guide We spent two days this time. We arrived in the morning on the first day, went rafting on the Jiuqu River in the afternoon, and climbed the Tianzhu Mountain small loop on the second day. Those with strong physical strength can choose the Tianzhu Mountain large loop. - 1⃣Small loop line, the whole journey takes about 3 hours: Dalongwo Cableway (top) ➡ Zhenyigang ➡ Mysterious Valley ➡ Tianchi Peak ➡ Tianzhu Peak ➡ Baiyue Terrace ➡ Zongguan Village (Hundred Steps Ladder) (bottom) ➡ Dalongwo Cableway 2⃣Large Ring Road, the whole journey takes about 6 hours: Dalongwo Cableway (top) ➡ Zhenyigang ➡ Mysterious Valley ➡ Tianchi Peak ➡ Tianzhu Peak ➡ Baiyue Platform ➡ Immortal Cave (bottom) ➡ Qinglongbei ➡ Lotus Peak ➡ Alchemy Lake ➡ Yingzhen Peak ➡ Feihu Peak (formerly Road return) ➡Alchemy Lake ➡Health Trail ➡Dalongwo Cableway - 📸Recommended check-in seats 1⃣Hundred-step ladder: It is extremely steep. The stairs go up as far as the eye can see and are perpendicular to the mountain face. It is particularly shocking. 2⃣Mysterious Valley: A mysterious stone valley formed by huge rocks. There are holes in the caves, and they are winding and deep. 3⃣Tianzhu Peak: Tianzhu Peak holds the sun and moon. You can reach out to embrace the stars, sun and moon, clouds and mist pass through your fingers, and you can also overlook the Alchemy Lake. 4⃣Tianchi Peak: Looking across from Tianzhu Peak in the distance, I also saw the surging wind and clouds this time, which was very spectacular. 5⃣Alchemy Lake: Like a huge sapphire inlaid in the mountains, the lake and mountains look like a fairy world. 6⃣Qinglongbei: A ridge that can only be crossed by one person. The valleys on both sides are deep and the view is very broad. 7⃣Cliff Plank Road: The cliff plank road built in the sky is thrilling and exciting. 8⃣Yingzhen Peak: The rocks are rugged and surrounded by cliffs. The entire mountain peak is spiral-shaped, and the rocks are arranged at random, forming a mysterious natural cave. 9⃣Flying Tiger Peak: There is a huge stone like a tiger on the peak, which looks up to the sky and roars, and is about to soar, lifelike. - Other tips ✅The temperature on the mountain is low, more than 10° lower than the ground, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It is recommended to prepare a jacket or sun protection clothing. ✅Be prepared with thick-soled shoes and trekking poles for walking, and go up the mountain in a lightweight manner without excessive burden. ✅Bring your own dry food to cushion your stomach, as supplies on the mountain will be a bit expensive. ✅There are many farmhouses nearby, where you can eat local specialties such as Qianshan fried noodles, roasted pork with dried bamboo shoots, braised chicken, and fish stew.

along the Eastern Pass route of Tianzhu Mountain you will meet a bizarre rock, just on the side of Quanzhang Cliff, called Drumstick Rock. It stands alone and upright, with the upper part thick and lower part thin. This route is one of the best scenic area of Tianzhushan and very few tourists explore it. They were doing a big renovation with brand new plank road. #lucaworldtraveler

The Tianzhushan Unesco Geopark is famous for its beautiful granite landforms, and is also rich in culture and history with more than a thousand years: relics from the Neolithic Period can be found here, the fiefdom of the ancient Wan State was located here during the Spring and Autumn Period and in 106 BC Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended Tianzhushan and referred to it as Sacred Southern Mountain. #lucaworldtraveler

also called Up Alchemy and Liangyaoping is a 13m deep and 22600m2 lake in Tianzhu Mountain. Located at 1089m asl is so called because the famed founder of alchemy in the Eastern Han Dynasty Zuo Ci practiced his religion and refined pills of immortality here.

in Tianzhu Mountain can admire an interesting phenomenon on the surface of the granites where there are pits of various sizes and arranged like the big dipper so its name Big Dipper Pits. This is sure to the granite weathering and erosion: first the minerals of the surface peeled off, than pits become bigger and deeper, wind and water erosion repeatedly. #2023travelwish #lucaworldtraveler

There is special area in Tianzhu Mountain with two spots: Egg-shaped Rock (pic 1) is a huge rock cleaved into two parts, the small one is 1 meter in diameter and looks like an egg because of the different chromatic of its material and the weathering of the granite. The Dengxian Peak (pic 2) is composed of medium-grained monzoic granite (128 million years) and is particular because it’s dense diagonal joints that gives the peak the appearance of an open fan. #2023travelwish #lucaworldtraveler

the main peak of Tianzhushan is so called for its resemblance to a towering pillar. Composed of medium-grained monzonitic granite from the early Cretaceous period (128 million years ago). Since the vertical and diagonal joints are well-developed and intersect with each other on granite, deep weathering occurs, which causes the disintegration and collapse of the rock mass, eventually forming the pillar-like peak. #2023travelwish #lucaworldtraveler

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.

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.

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.

On the weekend, I drove my little princess to Tianzhu Mountain. Along the way, my daughter was as excited as a little sparrow, chirping non-stop.

Not far away is the famous Tianzhu Mountain Magic Forest, which is not only suitable for hiking and exploration but also offers a chance to experience the mystery and fun of the forest.

Tianzhu Mountain, a magical mountain full of charm. Its unique scenery is amazing. The main peak is like a pillar supporting the sky, reaching into the clouds, majestic and imposing. The granite landforms in the mountains are unique, with rugged rocks and various shapes. The deep canyons and clear streams add a touch of lively beauty. Tianzhu Mountain has rich cultural connotations, profound historical heritage and unique regional culture. This place was once a place where scholars and writers lingered and left behind many excellent poems. The travel experience is also wonderful, hiking, traveling through the mountains and forests, breathing the fresh air, and feeling the tranquility and power of nature. The scenery along the way keeps changing, bringing endless surprises. When you reach the top of the mountain and overlook the endless mountains and the rolling sea of ​​clouds, the magnificent scenery will shock you deeply. Tianzhu Mountain is definitely an unforgettable travel memory.

Tianzhu Mountain is located in Qianshan County, Anhui Province. Emperor Wu of Han once visited Tianzhu Mountain to offer sacrifices and conferred it as the Southern Mountain. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, the title of Southern Mountain was transferred to Heng Mountain. The beautiful mountains and rivers of Tianzhu Mountain nurtured the famous figures of the Three Kingdoms period, such as Zhou Yu, Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao. Even the great writers of the Tang and Song dynasties, Li Bai and Su Dongpo, both expressed their desire to settle down and spend their old age on Tianzhu Mountain. In the seventh year of the Tianbao era of the Tang dynasty, Li Bai passed by Tianzhu Mountain and wrote, "When I return, I will come back to this place." Su Dongpo wrote in a letter to a friend, "I have always loved the customs of Shuzhou and want to settle down here for my old age." Shuzhou refers to Qianshan. After longing for it for a long time, I finally made the trip today to see the ancient Southern Mountain. Transportation: Drive to the Tianzhu Mountain Visitor Center. Hiking route (big loop): Visitor Center - Scenic Area Bus - Dalongwo Cableway Station - Zhenyigang - Gaobentai - Mysterious Valley - Tianchi Peak - Baiyue Platform - Lianlao Peak - Ganlu Spring - Liandan Lake - Laoyang Store - South Gate. The entire hike takes 5 hours. Tips: 1. Zongguanzhai is a steep staircase that can only be descended. 2. There are small shops at Zhenyigang, Mysterious Valley, Tianchi Peak, etc., where you can get food supplies. Review: Like Huangshan, Tianzhu Mountain is a granite landform. Although the scale of the scenic area is not as large as Huangshan, the strange peaks and rocks are no less beautiful than Huangshan. Compared to Hengshan, it is indeed more impressive. No wonder the great writers wanted to retire here!

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the New Year atmosphere was still strong, so our family drove to Tianzhu Mountain and started a journey in search of spring. At the foot of the mountain, a thin mist shrouds the mountain, adding a touch of mystery to the Tianzhu Mountain. Going up the stairs, you will see winding stone steps, towering ancient trees, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and grass. When we reached halfway up the mountain, we suddenly saw a red plum blossom proudly blooming. The red dots dotted the lush green forest, which was a bright sight. As we continue to climb, the mountain becomes steeper and steeper, with strange peaks and rocks appearing one after another. The most amazing thing is the "Tianzhu Peak", which rises from the ground and reaches the sky, like a giant pillar supporting the sky, which is breathtaking. Standing on the top of the peak and looking into the distance, you can see the endless mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, as if you are in a fairyland. On the way down the mountain, we came across a cute cat. It was jumping and playing among the branches, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet forest. As the sun set, we reluctantly bid farewell to Tianzhu Mountain and set off on our journey home with full of memories and good mood. This trip to Tianzhu Mountain not only allowed us to appreciate the wonders of nature, but also allowed us to feel the strong spirit of spring and the warmth of family love.

If you are looking for a place to go with your kids, you should definitely visit Mount Tianzhu in Anhui Province during the Lunar New Year! It is not only the filming location of Black Myth: Wukong, but also a famous mountain praised by Li Bai and Bai Juyi. Climbing Mount Tianzhu with your kids during the New Year means "climbing Mount Tianzhu, getting help from heaven", which is very meaningful! 📍 Mount Tianzhu, Anhui Province 🚄 Transportation: Take a high-speed train to Qianshan Station, and there are buses directly to the scenic area. 🚘 If you drive, you can park at the parking lot of the visitor center and take a bus to the Dalongwo Cableway. There are two routes in Mount Tianzhu: the big loop and the small loop. Considering that we were traveling with kids, we chose the small loop. We climbed and took photos along the way, and it took us four and a half hours to complete the whole journey. It was a fulfilling experience! ✅ Small loop route: Dalongwo Cableway - Mysterious Valley - Feilai Peak - Tianchi Peak - Zongguan Village (Baibu Ladder) - Zhenyi Hill - Dalongwo Cableway 💁‍♀️ The two most impressive places: ① Tianchi Peak: As the highest peak of Mount Tianzhu, it is 1,489.8 meters above sea level. It is towering and majestic, and when you see it with your own eyes, you will be shocked. ② Baibu Ladder: The nearly 90° steep steps will make timid people weak in the knees. For kids, it is a challenging adventure. ✌️ Travel tips: ① You can buy a hiking stick at the entrance of the scenic area for only CNY 2. It is a good helper for climbing. ② It is windy on the top of the mountain in winter, so make sure to keep warm when traveling with kids. Don't forget to bring a hat. ③ You can bring some snacks and water, as the prices on the mountain are a bit high. ④ It is recommended to arrive one day in advance and stay overnight near the scenic area. You will have more time the next day and more freedom to choose the route. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Tianzhu.
