Just came back from hiking in Sanqing Mountain! Share my strategy.
【Itinerary Strategy】
🍃Scenic area: Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area

Mainly divided into three loops: large, medium and small
✅Small circle 2h / Medium circle 4-5h/Large circle 7-8h
There are signs at the entrance of the scenic area, just follow them,
Choose according to your own physical strength.
【Must-see attractions】
1⃣️Oriental Goddess: Mountain peak in the shape of a goddess.
2⃣️Python out of the mountain: Super spectacular, like a python breaking out of the stone.
3⃣️West Coast/Sunshine Coast: The essence of the route, must go and see.
⚠️Note: Friends who want to watch the sunrise can book accommodation on the mountain, the conditions are average, but the scenery is very beautiful. Normally, stay in a hotel at the foot of the mountain the day before, and get up early the next day to start climbing.
✅Tips:
【Supplies】
1. Prepare hiking shoes, hiking poles, thin jackets, etc., the climate of the mountain is changeable.
2. Prepare water and snacks to replenish energy.
3. Turn on Gaode Map. Whether it's outdoor hiking or in the wilderness forest, I will use Gaode navigation.
I also swiped Gaode's creative advertising film in conjunction with Beidou. In the desert, uninhabited areas and other areas, a lonely billboard was erected, based on the Beidou satellite's non-network navigation and rescue function. Provide protection for friends who like outdoor and hiking.
📍In areas with no signal, turn on Gaode Map, you can record your walking track without signal, even if you get lost, you can return the same way; Gaode V15 version also has satellite rescue, shared location and other functions. Even if you are not a satellite phone user, you can also provide protection services. Once again, I marvel at the progress of technology!

I rarely use the word 'stunning' to describe a place!!!
Sanqing Mountain, a scroll of ink painting between heaven and earth, is hidden in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, China. It is a treasure listed as a World Natural Heritage site by UNESCO. Not only is it a sacred Taoist site, but it is also a culmination of natural scenery. With its peculiar peaks, ancient trees, famous flowers, and sea of clouds at sunrise, every scene is like a carefully arranged landscape painting, making one feel as if they are in a fairyland. Especially the iconic landscapes of the 'Goddess of the East' and the 'Python Emerging from the Mountain' are naturally formed wonders that leave one in awe.
📅 Itinerary: Three days and two nights, deeply experiencing the beauty of Sanqing
Day 1: After arriving in Shangrao, you can first head to the foot of Sanqing Mountain to arrange accommodation in a characteristic B&B or a hotel at the foot of the mountain, adjust your state, and prepare for the next day's climb. In the evening, you might as well take a walk on the rural paths nearby, feeling the tranquility and beauty of the countryside.
Day 2: Get up early to take the cable car straight to the top of the mountain and start a full day of hiking exploration. In the morning, focus on visiting the Nanqing Garden scenic area, closely observe the 'Goddess of the East' and the 'Python Emerging from the Mountain', and don't miss the sea of clouds at sunrise from the 'Yujing Terrace', which is absolutely a paradise for photography enthusiasts. For lunch, it is recommended to have a simple meal at a restaurant on the mountain top, tasting local specialties. In the afternoon, move on to the West Coast or Sunshine Coast, enjoy the leisure of walking in the clouds until the sunset, when the mountains are gradually tinged with golden light.
Day 3: Visit the Sanqing Palace to feel the profound cultural heritage of Taoism, and then you can choose different routes to descend the mountain, such as the East Coast route, to continue to enjoy different natural landscapes. Descend the mountain in the afternoon in good time, ending the trip to Sanqing Mountain, and return with full memories.
🍲 Food Recommendations: The taste of Shangrao
• Yanshan Tofu Noodles: The first choice for breakfast, delicate rice noodles paired with a delicious soup base, awakening a good mood for the day.
• Yiyang Rice Cake: Soft and sweet, a traditional snack not to be missed.
• Sanqing Mountain Wild Vegetables: Try the local wild vegetables at the mountain top restaurant, fresh and natural, with a unique flavor.
🚗 Transportation Strategy: Convenient paths to the fairyland
• Airplane: First fly to Nanchang Changbei International Airport, then transfer to the high-speed train to Yushan County, and take a bus directly to Sanqing Mountain from Yushan.
• High-speed train: If departing from major cities in China, you can take the high-speed train directly to Yushan Station, then transfer to a bus or taxi to Sanqing Mountain.
• Self-driving: Self-driving is the most flexible, you can drive along the highway directly to Sanqing Mountain, with beautiful scenery along the way, but pay attention to safety when driving on mountain roads.
🌟 Let us embark on this journey of seeking immortals, and in the misty clouds of Sanqing Mountain, find that peace and grandeur that stands alone from the world. Here, every step is a view, every day is a story, waiting for you to write your own chapter of travel. 🌟

Sanqing Mountain: A Fantastical Landscape with an Immortal Aura
Stepping onto Sanqing Mountain feels like entering a celestial paradise. The mountain is shrouded in mist, with peculiar peaks and rocks standing tall, instantly making one forget the hustle and bustle of the mundane world. This is a renowned Taoist mountain, named after the Three Pure Ones, and is filled with spiritual energy. The natural strange rocks and ancient pines create a dreamlike scenery. Every spot resembles a delicate ink painting with profound artistic conception.
Sanqing Mountain is most famous for its granite peaks. From the Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain, the Goddess of Spring, to the cliffside plank road of the West Coast, all showcase the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. The stone sculpture of the Goddess of Spring stands gracefully at the edge of the cliff, astonishing all who see it, as if guarding this sacred mountain. Climbing along the plank road, every step offers a different perspective. Whether gazing at the distant valleys or looking down at the streams, one cannot help but marvel at the grandeur and wonder of nature.
The sunrise and sea of clouds at Sanqing Mountain are sights not to be missed. Standing at the mountain's peak, as the morning light spreads over the sea of clouds, the entire mountaintop is bathed in a golden glow, resembling a fairyland. This place brings peace to the mind and is an excellent spot for finding inner tranquility. The magnificence and mystery of Sanqing Mountain make every visit full of surprises, truly a utopia.

A foggy adventure on Mount Sanqing: hiking in the rain can be fun too!
We came to Mount Sanqing to see the beautiful peaks, but it rained and the mountain was shrouded in fog. Luckily, we had been here before and knew how beautiful it was. The fog only added to the mountain's charm and mystery.
👣[Hiking Route]👣
We recommend the classic route: South Cableway Upper Station > West Coast Scenic Area > Sunshine Coast Scenic Area > Sanqing Palace > East Cableway Lower Station. This route covers almost all the highlights of Mount Sanqing, including the thrilling plank road on the West Coast and the wide view on the Sunshine Coast. Every step is an exciting experience!
📍Must-visit Attractions:
1️⃣ **West Coast**: The glass plank road is suspended over a deep valley and surrounded by clouds and mist. It's a thrilling experience!
2️⃣ **Goddess Peak**: The goddess in the mist is mysterious and ethereal.
3️⃣ **Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain**: A natural wonder that looks even more mysterious in the rain.
4️⃣ **Sanqing Palace**: A Taoist holy land with incense smoke curling up. A great place to pray for blessings.
💡Tip: Check the weather forecast before you go hiking!

Jiangxi Shangrao: Sanqing Mountain, a wonder of the world.
🌟Sanqing Mountain is located in Yushan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, on the border with Dexing City. It is famous for its unique natural scenery and profound cultural heritage.
❤Sanqing Mountain is known for its towering mountains, overlapping green peaks, and various shapes. Some are like swords pointing to the sky, and some are like fairies descending to the earth, which is breathtaking. Under the sunlight, these peaks shine brightly, like a series of exquisite paintings, making people linger. Especially the iconic landscapes of Nanqing Garden Scenic Area, such as "Oriental Goddess" and "Python Out of the Mountain", are impressive.
✅This time I chose the Wai Shuangxi Scenic Area cable car to go up the mountain, and chose the middle circle route:
Wai Shuangxi Cableway → Liuxia Terrace → Jade Rabbit Running to the Moon Ge Hong Offering Elixir → Yixian Gorge → Yu Huangxiang → Python Out of the Mountain → Penguin Offering Peaches → Oriental Goddess → Dulin Valley → Yuxu Terrace → Horse Head Stone → Jade Girl Open → Chick Out of the Shell → Love and Death → Yixian Sky → Shenlong Playing Pine → Chopper Stone → Wai Shuangxi Cableway Downhill.
📝Small tips: After going up the mountain, walk to the left in order, and walk downhill when passing Yixian Sky, which saves a lot of effort!

The colorful Fuliang Porcelain Palace.
The Porcelain Palace is a building located on a high ground in Xinping Village, Fuliang County, Jingdezhen City, and is inlaid with tens of thousands of porcelain pieces, bottles, and plates of various colors.
The Porcelain Palace is not only a visual feast, but also a palace of culture and art. Visitors can appreciate the unique porcelain decoration here, experience the integration of traditional culture and Buddhist art, and enjoy a unique cultural and entertainment tour.
The exterior of the Porcelain Palace is modeled after the Hakka Walled House and has three floors. The first and second floors are used to place the porcelain paintings of the "Four Great Classics" of Chinese traditional culture, and the third floor is used to place the porcelain paintings of Buddhist themes such as "Five Hundred Arhats".
The outer wall of the Porcelain Palace is inlaid with various porcelain. The main ones are the four famous porcelains in Jingdezhen: blue and white, Linglong, pastel, and color glaze. Half of the porcelain is embedded in the wall and arranged in various shapes, with a unique style and bold and rough.
A large number of porcelain paintings of various sizes are also inlaid on the Porcelain Palace. The porcelain used for decoration is all the things accumulated by Mr. Yu for decades, many of which were fired in the wood kiln in the 1980s, and there are many fine products.
A large number of porcelain discs are pasted on the top of the Porcelain Palace. However, Hua told reporters that to paste the porcelain disc on the roof, first grind the bottom of the porcelain disc, then mix cement and strong glue, and paste the porcelain disc. To paste a large porcelain plate, you need to drill holes at the bottom of the porcelain plate, then fix and bond it, and the construction is not easy.
The side door of the Porcelain Palace. The sculpture porcelain "Sleeping Eight Immortals" is placed on the top of the door.
The porcelain painting of "Journey to the West" exhibited on the first floor is painted with ancient color techniques, with rich colors and exquisite painting.

The truth about group tours in Jiangxi!
Hey family, I recently joined a group tour to Jiangxi. After coming back, I can't help but share the truth about group tours with you! 🗣️
🌟[Itinerary] A five-day and four-night itinerary, from Changsha all the way to Wuyuan, with new surprises every day. The mountains and rivers of Wuyuan, the strange stones of Sanqing Mountain, the ceramics of Jingdezhen, and the sea of flowers in Huangling, every stop is refreshing.
🏨[Accommodation] The accommodation environment is awesome. After a day of play, having a comfortable place to rest is simply a small fortune in travel.
🍲[Food] Nanchang casserole soup, cloud and mist tea-flavored duck... every bite is authentic Jiangxi flavor, foodies must not miss it!
📸[Photo] Beautiful photos are non-stop, each one is a big picture deja vu, full of friends circle material.
🚫[Group Tour Precautions]
1. Confirm the local business license and operating permit of the group, do not report if it is not a local group.
2. The electronic contract should be from the National Tourism Administration, do not report if it is not.
3. Whether the deposit can be refunded, do not report if the deposit cannot be refunded seven days before departure.
👉[Summary] Although there are many people, there are also many beautiful scenery. When joining a group, you need to keep your eyes open, find a regular group, and have fun and peace of mind!

I rarely use the word "shocking" to describe a mountain!
"The best of the Five Mountains, the best view is in Sanqing Mountain."
Only when you come to Sanqing Mountain can you understand Su Shi's praise for the strange peaks and rocks, the ancient trees and famous flowers, the cliffs and the scenery are not lost to Huangshan, Wugong Mountain.
I heard from others that Sanqing Mountain is very cool and I don't believe it.
I found out that it is really a beautiful summer resort!

The Sanqing Mountain in the rain and fog is like a landscape painting.
It was a spontaneous trip, and I didn't have time to plan the route. The weather seemed bad, and everything was a mess. It should have been an imperfect trip. However, I felt very satisfied when I was lying in the hotel. The Sanqing Mountain in the rain and fog turned out to be a landscape painting.
📸 Travel Tips
Travel Experience: Although I didn't plan the trip in detail, the unexpected surprises and kind encounters made this trip meaningful.
Transportation Guide: Get off at Shangrao Station or Yushan South Station. Yushan South Station is closer, but you need to transfer to a bus or shuttle bus (charter bus for 7 people), or take a taxi to the foot of the mountain.
Accommodation Recommendation: You can choose to stay on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain according to your personal situation. We stayed at the Hilton outside the cable car station due to the weather, and the experience was good.
Dining Experience: I tried several restaurants, Sanqing Flavor and Linjia Kitchen, and they were all good. I also tried the local special drink, kudzu root juice.
📝 Travel Notes
Travel is for healing, not for checking in. The journey is the destination, and there are beautiful sceneries along the way.
Sanqing Mountain is really worth visiting, but it is really tiring. Sanqing Mountain in the rain and fog has a unique flavor, which is a natural landscape painting.

The fairyland of the desire realm - Sanqing Mountain.
I have heard that the scenery of Sanqing Mountain is "absolutely beautiful", but I have never had the opportunity to see it. Su Shi once wrote "I have seen all the beautiful scenery of the Five Mountains, and the most beautiful scenery is in Sanqing". These two sentences show the momentum of Sanqing Mountain's beauty surpassing the Five Mountains.
Sanqing Mountain has the reputation of being the "first fairy peak in the south of the Yangtze River, and the unparalleled blessed land in the world". Sanqing Mountain is also known as Shaohua Mountain and Yashan. It is named after the three peaks of Yujing, Yuxu, and Yuhua, which are like the three gods of Daoism, Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing, sitting on the top of the mountain. The main peak, Yujing Peak, is 1,819.9 meters above sea level. Billions of years of geological evolution have formed the spectacular spectacle of towering peaks and deep valleys. The densely distributed granite micro-landforms of different origins show the most densely distributed and diverse peak forests in the known granite landforms in the world.
✅【About the route】
The Sanqing Mountain route is divided into large, medium and small circles. You can choose which circle to walk according to your own physical strength and time.
.
1️⃣Small circle route about 2H
Jinsha Cableway→Oriental Goddess→Python Out of the Mountain→Penguin Offering Peaches→Jinsha Cableway
.
2️⃣Medium circle route about 5H
Jinsha Cableway→Oriental Goddess→Yutai→A Line of Sky→Rishang Mountain House→Fox Biting Chicken→Python Out of the Mountain→Jinsha Cableway
.
3️⃣Large circle route about 8H
Jinsha Cableway→Oriental Goddess→Python Out of the Mountain→East Coast→Sunshine Coast→Wusonglin→West Coast→Sanqing Palace→West Coast Plank Road→Rishang Mountain House→A Line of Sky→Yutai→Azalea Valley→Jinsha Cableway
Attractions to check in
1️⃣Python Out of the Mountain: The single rock pillar looks like a python head, and the momentum of breaking out of the mountain is particularly strong!
2️⃣Goddess Peak: As the most iconic landscape of Sanqing Mountain, it sits on the top of the mountain overlooking all beings.
3️⃣A Line of Sky: This is really the nemesis of people who are afraid of heights. The two banks are clamped, and the middle passage is so steep that it is difficult to reach the sky!
4️⃣Southeast Plank Road: Walking on the cliff, sticking out a little bit more will scare people to their feet, but it is actually very safe, and it is very comfortable to walk in immersion alone!

This treasure mountain's scenery does not belong to Huangshan
🌷Su Dongpo once said, 'Having seen the beauty of the Five Sacred Mountains, the most magnificent scenery is in Sanqing,' Beyond Huangshan, there are other mountains, known as 'Little Huangshan.' The classic sceneries like the Eastern Goddess and the Giant Python emerging from the mountain are not to be missed! ❤️
🌷Sanqing Mountain, also known as Shaohua Mountain and Ya Mountain, is located at the junction of Yushan County and Dexing City in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. 🌸
🌷Sanqing Mountain, located in Yushan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, is a World Natural Heritage site, a World Geopark, and a national 5A-level tourist attraction. The scenic area is mainly characterized by natural mountain scenery, integrating natural landscapes such as strange peaks and rocks, ancient trees and famous flowers, flowing springs and flying waterfalls, and seas of clouds and mist. It is known as 'the world's first fairy peak, the unparalleled blessed land in the world.' 💐
🌷'The hometown of clouds and mist, the gallery of pine and stone.' This description fits Sanqing Mountain very well. The homestay in this natural embrace integrates elements such as rivers, clouds, gardens, and hot springs. Staying in such a fairyland-like environment, relaxing the body and mind, is really too comfortable! ❤️🔥
🌷The homestay is located in the Shenxiangu Scenic Area, a paradise under the Yun Gai Peak. Surrounded by mountains, shrouded in mist, green forests, white walls and black tiles, stone bridges and flowing water, everywhere is a scene. Deep courtyards, pavilions and towers, bamboo shadows swaying, like poetry and painting, make people reluctant to leave, intoxicated in this tranquil valley. 🥰

The Fairyland in Su Shi's Writings - Sanqing Mountain, a stunning peak forest certified by National Geographic
🌈 Stepping into this magical land is like traveling through an ancient painting, with every breath being a gift from nature. The towering granite pillars and the scattered peaks and forests are simply nature's proudest creations! 🌲🏞️ Especially in May and June, when the alpine azaleas bloom in pink and white, the beauty is intoxicating, making it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts! 🌸🌼
🚗 Here's a little travel tip! Take the high-speed train directly to 'Yushan', then grab a taxi or transfer to a cozy bus, and you'll embrace this fairyland in just 1.5 hours! 🚌💨 Although taxis are a bit pricey (about 120r), carpooling with friends or choosing the 15r bus is cost-effective! 👭💰
👣 I've got your route planning all sorted:
The small loop route is easy and leisurely, perfect for those with tight schedules;
The medium loop route offers an in-depth tour, ensuring you don't miss any highlights;
The large loop route combines challenges and scenery, ideal for those full of energy! 💪
🏨 Accommodation is also a big deal when traveling! The Jinsawan Holiday Hotel at the foot of the mountain is cozy and close to the cableway; if you want to sleep with the sea of clouds and sunrise, the tents or hotels on the mountain are also good choices, but remember to book in advance! 🌄🏨
👣 Here are some hiking tips:

Regret only knowing about the leg-friendly hiking guide for Sanqing Mountain now
If I hadn't accidentally come across it and got the sudden urge to hike,
I would have missed the beautiful Sanqing Mountain in Jiangxi!
Even in summer, the mountain is shaded everywhere.
The overall routes, whether large, medium, or small, are relatively smooth and not too steep.
Coupled with the high altitude and the cool breeze blowing through the mountains,
It is truly friendly for hiking beginners and those with poor stamina.
After returning, I also summarized a detailed guide. Based on time and stamina, you can choose your route. Those who want to experience Sanqing Mountain during the summer vacation, remember to ⭐️ it.

🚅Transportation
✔️From all over the country to Shangrao Station (or Yushan Station)
✔️Take a taxi or buy a special line ticket on 'Xingrong Travel' (be sure to buy tickets in advance) to go to Jinsha Cableway or Waishuangxi Cableway
🚡Jinsha Cableway is a bit farther from Shangrao Station, but the scenery around the cableway is more beautiful. The downside is that there are many people going up and down the mountain on weekends. Unless you only take the small loop, it is not recommended to go up from here on weekends.
🚡Waishuangxi Cableway has fewer people and basically no queues, but it is a bit difficult to climb at the beginning. However, if you take the medium or large loop, you will pass by two cableways, so it doesn't matter.

📍Routes
❶Leg-friendly route for beginners (1-2h)
Jinsha Cableway → Giant Python Coming Out of the Mountain → Penguin Offering Peach → Oriental Goddess → Goddess Plank Road → Jinsha Cableway
❷Medium loop route for hiking enthusiasts (4-5h)
Jinsha Cableway → Giant Python Coming Out of the Mountain → Penguin Offering Peach → Oriental Goddess → Fox Biting Chicken → Yuhuang Peak → Sunrise Villa → One Line Sky → Jade Platform → Oriental Goddess → Goddess Plank Road → Jinsha Cableway
If the weather is not sunny and you like a gentle walk to enjoy the open mountain gorge, you can walk from Sunrise Villa to Jinsha Cableway via the Southeast Plank Road
❸Large loop route for those with strong stamina (6-7h)
Jinsha Cableway up the mountain → Camel Peak → Giant Python Peak → Yuhuang Peak → Sunshine Coast → Qian Kun Platform → Yusong Forest → West Coast → Sunrise Villa → One Line Sky → Jade Platform → Goddess Peak → Goddess Plank Road → Jinsha Cableway
-
✅Tips:
❶Try to avoid weekends. I went on a Saturday, just when Hubei and Jiangxi locals had free tickets, and there were many people queuing for Jinsha Cableway (suggest going before 7:30). At other times, Waishuangxi Cableway is smoother.
❷If it's a holiday or you're in a hurry, it's recommended to take a taxi. It's about 50r per person, which is similar to the special line bus.
❸Pay attention to the operating hours of the cableway, 7:30-17:30. Since there are no stairs down the mountain, if you miss it, you can only stay on the mountain.
❹It's recommended to eat and drink enough at the foot of the mountain. Pure water on the mountain is 10r, grilled sausage is 10r. You can bring some snacks.
❺Be sure to use sunscreen. A sun hat, sunscreen clothing, and sunscreen are essential. There are hiking sticks at the foot of the mountain for 2-5r.
❻Pet-friendly. Along the way, I saw three pet dogs 🐶 hiking with their owners, very heartwarming.
❼Finally, since you're here, if you have enough time, it's recommended to at least take the medium loop. Every step is a view. I felt particularly relaxed after completing the whole journey, and my heart was filled with energy!

I rarely use the word "stunning" to describe a place
⛰️
"Traveling across the Five Great Mountains, the best scenery is in Sanqing," it wasn't until I personally walked around here that I deeply understood the brilliance of Su Dongpo's poem 😃.
The bizarre peaks and rocks come in various shapes, ancient trees and famous flowers complement each other, the cliffside plank roads are thrilling, and the sunrise over the sea of clouds is magnificent.
Encountering the lingering mist among the beautiful mountains adds a fairyland-like beauty, like a traditional Chinese ink painting 🎨. No wonder it is rated as one of the five most beautiful peak forests by National Geographic. I would call it an underrated "paradise on earth."

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Travel Tips:
✔️ Planning is crucial! If you have enough time, choose the large loop and start from Waishuangxi to avoid the crowds! Whether you tour clockwise or counterclockwise, it's fine.
✔️ There are many tourists at the Jinsha Cableway! The cable car starts at 7:30, so arrive 20 minutes early to exchange tickets and go up the mountain, otherwise, you'll have to wait in line for another half hour! During holidays, you can only tour counterclockwise.
✔️ Sanqing Mountain is vast and physically demanding, remember to bring a hiking stick, prepare sun-protective clothing (it can also keep you warm when it's windy at the top), a small amount of snacks and water. Although there are sales on the mountain, the prices are slightly higher, which is understandable.
✔️ Currently, night climbing is not allowed. If you want to see the sunrise, sunset, and sea of clouds, you can stay overnight on the mountain. There are options for tent camping and hotels.
✔️ This place is really amazing, cool in summer, and the scenery is pleasant! It's truly worth it. There's a small town at the foot of the mountain, so eating and lodging are not a problem, and Jiangxi cuisine is delicious 😋. We stayed at the foot of the mountain, went up early in the morning, and spent the whole day just right.
🌱 I asked the green mountain when it will grow old, the green mountain asked me when I will be free.
🍃 Bring your family and friends to appreciate this magnificent landscape together~

Let's go to Sanqing Mountain
⛱️Must-visit spots: Goddess Peak, Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain
🌄Travel tips: It is recommended to plan a full-day trip. Due to time constraints, we arranged a half-day trip, went up the mountain at noon, and rushed through the sights, almost exhausting ourselves.
🏨Accommodation tips: Guesthouses near Jinsha Cableway
💗Other tips: Staying in a guesthouse in the village near Jinsha Cableway is quiet and convenient. The host will take you to the Jinsha Cableway entrance for free. After touring the mountain, you can call the host after getting off the cableway, and they will pick you up for free, which is very convenient. The Jinsha Cableway to the mountain is about an hour's walk from the main attractions, Goddess Peak and Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain. You can view them up close, suitable for the elderly, the weak, and those with children. The smallest loop takes about two to three hours, mostly flat paths and mountain trails, with a difficulty level of 2 stars. The middle loop adds Rhododendron Valley and One Line Sky, and you can return to Jinsha Cableway via the South Coast Trail.
Sanqing Mountain's natural scenery is particularly beautiful, but if you take the middle or large loop, it will be very time-consuming and require good physical strength. Some places have very narrow and steep steps, so proceed according to your ability.
Taking a hiking stick is a good experience and can give you a helping hand.

I rarely use "shocking" to describe a mountain!
"Having traveled through the Five Great Mountains, the most beautiful is still Sanqing Mountain."
-
Only after visiting Sanqing Mountain in person did I understand why Su Shi praised it so much.
The peaks are unique, the rocks are strange, the mountains undulate, layer upon layer.
Ancient trees and famous flowers, steep cliffs.
The scenery is no less impressive than Huangshan or Wugong Mountain.
Previously, when others said Sanqing Mountain was cool, I didn't believe it.
Only after coming here did I realize that this is indeed a great place to escape the summer heat!

Just returned from Sanqingshan, I rarely use the word 'shocking' to describe a place
I rarely use the word 'shocking' to describe a place, but in Sanqingshan, I saw the embodiment of 'clouds and mist swirling, immortal aura floating between heaven and earth.' Walking above the clouds, among the mountains and forests, watching the mist slowly rise, the winding cliff plank roads and towering peaks appearing and disappearing in the fog, the scenery before my eyes seemed like a moving ink painting, ethereal and magical like a fairyland.

High-speed train: To 'Shangrao Station' or 'Yushan Station,' there are shuttle buses to the scenic area, or you can take a taxi directly.

For the large loop, it is recommended to climb to the top on the first day to watch the sunset, stay in a tent or hotel on the mountain at night, and watch the sunrise the next day🌅
💗Other Tips:
✔️It is cool on the mountain, the wind is cool and comfortable, but still, do sun protection, wear quick-dry sun-protective clothing if you sweat a lot.

✔️Bring a small amount of water and dry food, there are food and drinks sold on the mountain (prices are high but they are carried up manually, acceptable)

Sanqing Mountain is now free of charge! It's a super cool summer resort~ You can finish it in one day!
Sanqing Mountain is free of charge!
Jiangxi: July 20 - July 31
Hubei: July 13 - July 21
Hunan: July 20 - July 28
Overall, July 29 - July 31 is a free exclusive period for Jiangxi residents, theoretically the least crowded.
Ticket: 120/person, half-price ticket 60/person
Cable car: 125/person, half-price ticket 63/person
Note: Free tickets are for entrance only, not for the cable car.
High-speed rail and buses can reach Yushan Station and Shangrao Station. We departed from Nanchang, and it took about 3.5 to 4 hours to reach the Jinsha parking lot, including the time to leave the city.
How to play: Sanqing Mountain has 3 classic loops. In my previous video, there is a detailed explanation by a local guide. If you are interested, you can check it out.
I recommend starting from the Jinsha Cableway (open: 7:30-17:30). Here, I want to remind you: after purchasing a ticket for the Jinsha Cableway, you will be given a number. There is a loudspeaker in the outer square of the cableway calling numbers, which avoids everyone standing in line. This is a more humane aspect of the attraction, so I want to remind you that even if you buy tickets online, you need to pick up the ticket and get a number. If you are traveling with a group, you can send someone to get the number early, so you can go as soon as you arrive without waiting.
Starting from the Jinsha Cableway has the advantage of fewer uphill roads and more downhill and flat roads. The downside is that travel agencies also start from here, but the route with the most people is the small loop. The middle loop has half as many people, and the big loop rarely encounters a complete tour group.
1. Small loop route (1-2h): Jinsha Cableway → Python Coming Out of the Mountain → Penguin Offering Peach → Oriental Goddess → Goddess Plank Road → Jinsha Cableway
2. Middle loop route (4-5h): Jinsha Cableway → Python Coming Out of the Mountain → Penguin Offering Peach → Oriental Goddess → Rhododendron Valley → Jade Terrace → Jade Girl Smiling → One Line Sky → Sunrise Villa → Fairy Drying Shoes → Yuhuang Peak → Fox Gnawing Chicken → Python Viewing Platform → Jinsha Down
3. Big loop (about 7h): Outer Shuangxi Cableway up the mountain → Sunrise Platform → One Line Sky → Jade Terrace (if staying on the mountain, you can watch the sunrise) → Rhododendron Forest → Oriental Goddess → Penguin Offering Peach → Python Coming Out of the Mountain → Fox Gnawing Chicken → Yuhuang Peak → Sunshine Coast Scenic Area - Sanqing Palace → West Coast Scenic Area (sunset) → Outer Shuangxi Cableway down the mountain (if you don't circle Sanqing Palace, you can save 1h)
You can walk these loops in reverse, the difference is more uphill or downhill. Remember, from Jade Girl Smiling to One Line Sky, One Line Sky is downhill. If from One Line Sky to Jade Girl Smiling, it's uphill.
Accommodation: I chose a homestay next to the Jinsha Cableway, a 2-minute walk to the cableway, which is convenient for early mountain climbing. There are many restaurants on the street, very convenient. There are fewer choices for staying on the mountain, and the conditions are average. I haven't stayed there, so I won't recommend it. If you want to choose a star hotel, I recommend Hilton and Radisson, and a high-end homestay called Wang Sanqing. Young people can choose to camp on the mountain, and there are several campsites to choose from, all good spots for watching the sunrise.
Mountain preparation: Hiking poles (I didn't use them, but many people bought them), light jacket (it's cool on the mountain with fog and wind), food and drink supplies (if you don't want to carry them, you can buy along the way, it's expensive but saves you from carrying, supply points are sufficient), raincoat or umbrella (there are often short showers on the mountain), wear sports shoes, the roads are steps or plank roads, no need for professional hiking or trekking shoes, recommend knee pads, downhill is hard on the knees.
Experience: We chose the big loop, not fast, finished in 6 hours, but hit the downhill peak and waited an hour for the cable car, which was the most tiring part. The scenery on the mountain is worth the ticket price (even more if it's free), especially the Sunshine Coast plank road, flat and just in time for the sunset, like a real-life version of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains painting. The ancestors didn't lie! The mountain ecology is excellent, we saw squirrels and beautiful pheasants (later learned they are nationally protected yellow-bellied tragopans). The animals are not afraid of people, you can observe them closely. The mountain climate is cool, perfect for summer hiking, so Jiangxi folks, why not go for it?

A Dreamy Journey to Mount Sanqing: Effortless Travel, A Picturesque Fairyland!
Mount Sanqing was easier to climb than I expected! I must say, the weather today was incredibly cooperative. After several days of continuous rain, it finally cleared up today. The misty clouds were swirling around, making it feel like I was in a fairyland.
I started my journey from the Yushan Bus Station, taking the second bus of the morning heading south. Departing at 7:10 AM, I arrived at the entrance of the scenic area by 8:30 AM. I chose to take the cable car from Wai Shuangxi, and to my surprise, there was not a single person in sight. Many cable cars in a row were completely empty, so I effectively had a 'private car'!
Since I wasn't interested in the 'One-Line-Sky' area and heard it was particularly tiring to walk, I chose the route of West Coast + Sunshine Coast + a large half of the small loop. I must say, this route was much easier than the central loop, with fewer uphill climbs. The first half-hour was all about climbing stairs (yellow arrows), but don't worry, the rest was mostly flat. After passing the Eastern Goddess, it was all downhill to the Jinsha cable car. I waited for 15 minutes for the cable car to go down the mountain, and I was already at the foot of the mountain before 2 PM. In my opinion, the West Coast was the most beautiful part of the journey, and the path was also easy to walk.
After descending, you can take the bus back to Yushan (the bus stop is quite hidden, keep walking down the slope at KFC, turn right at the traffic light. If you can't find it, you can ask the security booth. Don't listen to the drivers heading to Shangrao who falsely claim there are no buses; there is a bus every 40 minutes, with the last one at 5 PM).
🎈Here comes the highlight! Along the way, you'll encounter countless beautiful birds and squirrels, flocking together, super cute, and not afraid of people at all. I didn't eat much of the food I brought, as I ended up feeding it all to them!
Are you tempted by such a trip to Mount Sanqing? Come and experience it for yourself!
