I havent climbed the mountain for a long time. After I got home, my legs were still shaking. Many friends asked me to recommend Sanqingshans accommodation. This time I lived in the Shangshang Mountain Villa. This is the best accommodation on Sanqing Mountain. Open the curtains, the mountains are in the distance, the wonderland when fogging, and the sunset. Because everything on the mountain is picked up by the porter, we can't hope that it will respect their labor like a five-star hotel. The room is not very big, but it has been met with one brick and one tile. In terms of food, it is a bit unambiguous, and there are plenty of chicken, duck and fish. Tent accommodation is also available here, and your favorite friends can try it out.
Enter a picturesque place - Sanqingshan.
Feel the immortal style there and experience a fairyland trip!🌟
📍 First impression of Sanqingshan
Sanqingshan, located in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, is a sacred place of Taoism and is known as "China's most beautiful granite peak forest".🏞️ Every mountain peak and stream here seems to contain thousands of years of spiritual energy, waiting for us to explore.
🕒 Best travel time
If you want to see the most beautiful Sanqingshan, it is recommended to visit in spring or autumn.🍂 In spring, all things recover and the mountains are full of flowers; in autumn, the mountains are dyed with colors, colorful. Although summer is hot, the mountains are cool and a good place to escape the summer heat; winter is covered with silver, with a different flavor.❄️
🚗 Transportation guide
To reach Sanqingshan, you can first reach Shangrao City or Yushan County, and then take a direct bus or chartered car.🚌 For self-driving friends, navigate to Sanqingshan Tourist Service Center. Although the mountain road is winding, the scenery along the way is definitely worth it!
🏞️ Must-visit attractions
Nanqing Garden: This is the essence of Sanqingshan, with strange peaks and rocks, ancient trees and famous flowers, each of which is a perfect background for taking photos.📸 Remember to check in at "Goddess Peak", she quietly guards this land, as if telling a thousand-year story.
West Coast: A high-altitude plank road on a cliff, walking on it, as if walking in the clouds, overlooking the mountains, refreshing.🌄 The scenery here is even more breathtaking at sunset.
Sunshine Coast: Echoing the West Coast, this is also a thrilling high-altitude walkway. But the difference is that the Sunshine Coast is more bathed in sunlight, warm and bright.☀️
Wanshou Garden: A place full of blessings and longevity, the pines of different shapes are like the embodiment of the old birthday star, making people stop and pray.🙏
Sanqing Palace: As a sacred place of Taoism, Sanqing Palace is the spiritual symbol of Sanqingshan. Walking into the palace, feeling the tranquility and solemnity, the mind seems to be purified.🧘♀️
🍽️ Food experience
Don't forget to taste the local food! Shangrao stir-fried rice noodles, Sanqingshan wild vegetables, and hot rice cakes, each bite is an extreme temptation to the taste buds.🤤
💡 Tips
Remember to wear comfortable shoes, because you need to walk between the attractions of Sanqingshan.👟
Bring enough water and snacks, there are few mountain shops.🥤
There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring warm clothes.🧥
Okay, my Sanqingshan travel guide is here! I hope you can fall in love with this fairyland-like land like me.💖
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!
I thought Wugong Mountain was beautiful enough, until I came here...
Early autumn is really suitable for outdoor hiking,
Breeze and sea of clouds, enjoy the joy of nature!
Just came back from hiking in Sanqing Mountain! Share my strategy.

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!
A homestay worth staying at in Sanqing Mountain!
Sanqing Mountain Shiquxi Valley is located at the foot of Sanqing Mountain, making it very convenient to go hiking in your spare time.
The homestay has a variety of room types, including family rooms and rooms with views. Each room type has ample space. There is also a stream where you can swim and play, and enjoy the cool summer.
The homestay's small restaurant also has many wild flavors from the countryside for you to taste. You can also make your own mellow coffee and other health facilities! Worth a visit!

After watching the sunset 🌅, three people walked for 2 hours to the campsite, met many friends along the way, and were very excited about night climbing
Stay on Sanqing Mountain, I choose here...
Everyone should visit Sanqing Mountain, which was praised by Su Dongpo! "The best of the Five Great Mountains, the best view is Sanqing Mountain", the dreamy "strange stones, sea of clouds, sunset glow" of Sanqing Mountain is a unique sight in the world, which is fascinating and worthy of the reputation of "the second Huangshan"!
If you don't want to miss the beautiful sunrise, sunset and starry sky of Sanqing Mountain, you must stay on the mountain. There seem to be many accommodations on the mountain, but there are very few that are really well located, easy to reach, and have beautiful surrounding scenery.
Today I recommend a treasure hotel on the mountain, with a good location and beautiful scenery. You can see the brilliant starry sky and the Milky Way in the hotel courtyard. The price is also affordable, and there are various room types to choose from.
🏠Hotel name: Secret. Sanqing Palace Holy Land Hotel
🌈Hotel features: The hotel is located on the top of Sanqing Mountain. Standing in front of the hotel window, you can not only enjoy the magnificent starry sky, but also overlook the rolling mountains and the greenery of the forest, which is refreshing.
📍Detailed address: Located in Sanqing Mountain Sanqing Fudi Scenic Area
💰Hotel price: 400+~1700+, slightly higher on holidays
🚌Traffic strategy: Take the high-speed rail to Shangrao Station, take a bus or taxi to the Shuangxi Cableway outside Sanqing Mountain, walk in the direction of Sanqing Palace after getting off the cableway, and you can arrive in about two and a half hours on foot. The hotel is next to Sanqing Palace.
🌟 Rich Taoist culture
The hotel is located in the Sanqing Fudi Scenic Area. The Sanqing Fudi Scenic Area is a collection of Sanqing Mountain's cultural landscapes and an "open-air museum" of Taoist ancient buildings. There are many historical sites and natural landscapes around the hotel, such as the Sanqing Palace and other thousand-year-old Taoist relics. Here you can appreciate the profound and profound Taoist culture.
🌟 Excellent location
The hotel is just between the Jinsha Cableway and the Shuangwai Creek Cableway, which is very convenient. If you want to watch the sunrise in the morning or the sunset at night, it is about a 5-minute walk to Ziyanshi. The joy of not having to disrupt the biological clock is too happy.
🌟 Comfortable room facilities
As one of the few luxury hotels on the mountain, the hotel facilities are very new, with a variety of room types to choose from. The room is dominated by new Chinese aesthetics, with antique solid wood furniture, and the entire space is both simple and full of years. Warmth. The room type we stayed in was the Riyi Chuxu King Room, with a separate bathtub, and the toiletries were all first-line brands. The configuration of floor heating + fireplace made people not worry about the cold in winter, and truly enjoyed the leisure time of vacation.
🌟 Butler service is intimate
The best thing about the hotel is the intimate butler service everywhere. The butler will contact you about check-in matters 2 days in advance and arrange everything. If you have any questions, just send a WeChat message. In addition, the butler also took us to watch the sunset and sunrise, which made people feel as warm as home.
Entering the Secret. Sanqing Fudi Hotel, you will be attracted by various small details inside. Every corner here is a color close to nature, quiet and elegant.
Secret. Sanqing Palace Holy Land Hotel, a place where the soul can rest, whether it is hiking, photography, seeking peace of mind, or feeling the charm of culture, this is definitely your best choice! Come and experience it!

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.

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

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!
