This is a famous Taoist mountain where you can see beautiful sunrises over the sea of clouds, admire the lifelike rocks in the mountains, and walk on the high-altitude plank roads to enjoy the scenery.
It includes ten scenic spots: Nanqing Garden, West Coast, Sanqing Palace, Tiyunling, Yujing Peak, Sunshine Coast, Yuling Temple, Sandongkou, Bingyu Cave and Shiguling.
In addition, the Jade Girl's Joy, the Monkey King Presenting Treasures, the Taoist Priest Worshipping the Moon, and Guanyin Appreciating Music are also among the ten most beautiful sights in the Sanqingshan Scenic Area.

You can take a bus from Shangrao Passenger Transport Center or Shangrao Railway Station to the Waishuangxi Cableway in the southern part of Sanqing Mountain. The ticket price is 27 yuan/person and it takes about 1 and a half hours. Then you can buy tickets for the cableway (245 yuan/person). In fact, you can also walk up the mountain, but the road is very long. It is better to take the cableway. After getting off the cableway, you can climb the mountain. Here I need to explain that my route is: West Coast-Sanqing Palace-East Coast-Nanqing Garden-Wanshouyuan. Generally speaking, I have seen all of them! I spent two days resting in Sanqing Palace for one night. When I went there in March, the weather was still a bit cold, especially at night, so I was forced to stay in a not very good hotel very close to Sanqing Palace for one night (260 yuan). The conditions were very bad, and the quilt felt wet, but it was better to have an electric blanket! At least it is better than camping in the wild! I have a Feixian Stone near Sanqing Palace. It is very good to watch the sunset on it. The scenery is very beautiful! I also took some star trails at night! The morning was not as good as expected. Watching the sunrise depends on the weather so we couldn't see it as there were too many clouds!
Among the ten mountains we climbed, this one ranks second in terms of difficulty. It is incredibly difficult.
There are four entrances to Sanqing Mountain. We chose the Waishuangxi Service Area (South Route), which is the best choice for hiking. There is also a cable car up the mountain. Every time the task is arduous, we can't sleep well at night. In order to set off early, we got up before 6 o'clock, before dawn.
For hiking, there is a big difference between carrying weight and carrying nothing. When hiking, water is the most important thing. You can live without food but you can’t live without water. This bucket was completely drunk when we were halfway up... The first half hour of the climb was relatively easy
Here I share my mountain climbing experience with my friends - small tips
It is very important to grasp the rhythm of mountain climbing. If you master it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Every time you feel tired, stop for no more than 5 minutes. Never let your body cool down. Continue to replenish water appropriately. Mental preparation is also important. Don't think about the distance too far. Set more small goals and take it step by step.
There was a cable car along the way, and I didn't see many friends who were hiking the whole way. 99% of them took the cable car. Looking up, I could see a little bit of the Sanqing Mountain, but it was still far away and it was too early.
The end of the ropeway is in sight! The scenery is also beginning to become spectacular~ However, this is just the beginning, the excitement is yet to come.
At first, we simply thought that we could enjoy the scenery without climbing stairs after the cable car. However, it was not the case. The cable car part was just a warm-up. The more cruel part was still to come. In the first section, everyone had to climb stairs from the cable car station all the way to the Rishang Platform. It was several hundred meters higher, which was very annoying. But from here on, it was very lively for everyone to climb together, hahaha.
Most of the scenic spots in Sanqing Mountain require climbing stairs, which requires a lot of physical strength. There is a large vertical altitude difference, and it takes an hour to walk even if the destination is right in front of you.
Sanqing Mountain is still quite cold in winter. There are still many people here on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The cable car is very fast and the mountain road is very dangerous due to ice. You still need to prepare in advance. Because it rains, there are too many clouds and fog on the mountain. The scenery is still very beautiful after it clears up. Sanqing Palace is much older than I thought. I dare not climb the mountain in winter anymore.
The scenery is first-rate, with super beautiful and steep peaks. I feel that it can be ranked in the top three among the mountain scenic spots in eastern China. It is also a famous Taoist mountain, with temples and other buildings distributed according to the Taoist Bagua. I went there more than ten years ago. At that time, the cable car had limited capacity and it took a long time to queue. I heard that a cable car has been added now. I wonder if I can still live on the mountain?
After visiting the Three Mountains and the Five Sacred Mountains, Sanqing Mountain is truly a collection of the beauty of heaven and earth, the spirit of hundreds of rivers, and other unique features. It combines "the majesty of Mount Tai, the beauty of Mount Huang, the steepness of Mount Hua, the mist of Mount Heng, and the tranquility of Mount Qingcheng", and is praised by international landscape masters as "a world masterpiece, a treasure of mankind, and a spiritual jade realm". It is fascinating with ten major scenic spots such as Tiyunling, Nanqing Garden, Wanshou Garden, West Coast, Yujing Peak, Sunshine Coast, Sanqing Palace, and Yuling Temple.
Sanqingshan Scenic Area is located at the junction of Yushan and Dexing counties (cities), the eastern gateway of Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. It is located at 118°03' east longitude and 28°54' north latitude, adjacent to Kaihua County and Changshan County, Zhejiang Province. Sanqingshan has convenient transportation around it, with many railways and highways connected. It was the meeting place of the three states of Rao, Xin and Qu in ancient times. The scenic area includes Huaiyu Township, Nanshan Township, Zihu Town of Yushan County and Guida Township of Dexing City. It is 90 kilometers away from Quzhou, Zhejiang, 120 kilometers away from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, 78 kilometers away from Shangrao City, 85 kilometers away from Dexing City, and 263 kilometers away from Huangshan City, Anhui. Sanqingshan Scenic Area has a long history and has attracted many literati tourists, such as the famous Taoist Ge Hong and Wang Jian, who have left their footprints here.
The first thing that appears to you at first glance is the Sanqing Mountain, which is looming in the fog and looks like a Taoist fairyland!
I really want to sing a song "Deep Love and Hazy Fog"!
After the rain, the sky cleared up and the sea of clouds appeared!
This is the second picture we see of Sanqing Mountain.
We see the third picture of Sanqing Mountain - blue sky and white clouds, and the sun shining on the golden mountain!
The tour route of Sanqing Mountain is roughly similar to a horizontal figure 8, divided into a western half circle and an eastern half circle. The western half circle is the Sunshine Coast Scenic Area + Yujing Peak Scenic Area + Sanqing Fudi Scenic Area + West Coast Scenic Area, and the eastern half circle is the Nanqing Garden Scenic Area, and the Wanshou Garden Scenic Area can be ignored.
Sanqingshan Scenic Area is located in the northeast of Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. It is named after the three peaks of Yujing, Yuxu and Yuhua, which are "steep and towering, like the three pure Taoists sitting on the top". The total area of Sanqingshan Scenic Area is 756.6 square kilometers, of which the core scenic area is 230 square kilometers and the buffer area is 526.6 square kilometers. The main peak, Yujing Peak, is 1,819.9 meters above sea level, the highest peak and the source of Xinjiang River.
The scenery is nice. As the remnant of Huangshan Mountain, the mountain appearance is somewhat similar, but the strange rocks are more outstanding. However, the disadvantage is that there are still too many trees on the mountain and the mountain color is a bit dark. Of course, this is relative to Huangshan Mountain. It is much more outstanding than some other mountains.
Sanqing Mountain, also known as Shaohua Mountain and Ya Mountain, is located at the junction of Yushan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, China and Dexing City. It is named because the three peaks of Yujing, Yuxu and Yuhua are like the three Taoist gods Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing sitting on the top of the mountain. Among them, Yujing Peak is the highest, with an altitude of 1,819.9 meters. It is the fifth highest peak in Jiangxi and the highest peak of Huaiyu Mountain Range. It is also the source of Xinjiang River. Sanqing Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, a world natural heritage site, a world geological park, a national natural heritage, and a national geological park.
In May, when the azaleas were in full bloom, we visited Sanqing Mountain. We experienced a switch from clear skies to misty rain at the foot of the mountain. When we arrived at Sanqing Palace, we were completely enveloped by the fairy air. Suddenly, we seemed to understand why the ancients chose this place to make elixirs. Although it was a pity that we could not see the sunset and sunrise, the rain gradually subsided in the early morning, and the mountains were shrouded in mist, which was also beautiful in a different way.
Sanqing Mountain has beautiful scenery. Although it is tiring, it is worth a visit.
Sanqing Mountain, also known as Shaohua Mountain, is located at the junction of Yushan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province and Jiande City. It is a famous Taoist mountain, a world natural heritage site and a world geological park.
The main mountain scenic area, the stones are beautiful and the scenery is beautiful.
Sanqingshan is a very beautiful mountain. We went there three times. The first two times were in the rain and fog, and we could hardly see the scenery. The third time we went, the weather was very good and it was worth the trip.
The scenery is so beautiful, and the whole tour is circling up and down on flat ground. People don’t feel tired, especially not mentally.
When I arrived, I was told it was a four-star hotel, but the quilt was not changed, there were hairs on the bed, and the quilt was a bit dirty.
Very good place, worth a visit, but the ticket is a bit expensive
Unique mountain landscape, great scenery! Highly recommended!
A world natural heritage site with bizarre rocks and interesting scenery.
Sanqingshan Scenic Area, a must-visit attraction in Jiangxi, is beautiful all year round!
A great mountain scenic area, comparable to the Huangshan Mountain among the Five Great Mountains. It is also full of rugged rocks and verdant pines and cypresses.
A natural bonsai with majestic mountains, strange peaks and rocks.
Among all the mountains that can be visited in China, Huangshan, Huashan and Sanqingshan are the undisputed top three in my mind. Most of the other famous mountains are more famous than they are beautiful. (Excluding various snow-capped mountains and special landforms like Zhangjiajie)
A world-famous Taoist mountain can also be extremely beautiful.
It was a sunny day with warm sunshine. Walking on the cliff path, I could see green peaks and strange rocks, and the autumn colors were so beautiful that it was really refreshing.
I didn't have high expectations at first, but I have to say it's really beautiful! Turquoise is spiritual and beautiful!
Although I read some guides and introductions before going, the beauty of Sanqing Mountain still exceeded my expectations. When the clouds and mists drifted and the peaks appeared and disappeared, I felt that Sanqing Mountain was really a fairy mountain.
Although Sanqingshan is not as famous as Mount Lushan in the same province, nor as well-known as Mount Huangshan, which also has granite landforms, its strange rocks and peaks may be even better. The Oriental Goddess, the giant python coming out of the mountain, the Taoist priest worshiping the moon and other strange rocks are all lifelike and vivid! If Huangshan is a lady from a wealthy family, Sanqingshan is a beautiful girl from a small family, with more strengths... The scenery is not inferior to these two famous mountains at all.
The facilities are still under construction.
Sanqing Mountain has beautiful scenery, especially the high-altitude plank road, which is worth a visit! However, the scenic area is too unkind. Some scenic areas are closed to tourists for maintenance. There is no notice on the official website, and no discount when buying tickets. I came all the way to the foot of the mountain and saw the notice. As a result, I was forced to change the itinerary. It is really infuriating! Other services are good. The weather was fine, with no clouds in the sky, and I didn't see the sea of clouds. In short, Sanqing Mountain is worth a visit and I will come again next time!
The unique geology has formed many unique landscapes, and with the famous Taoist mountains as a backdrop, it is worth a visit. The three peaks of Yujing, Yuxu and Yuhua are named after the three Taoist gods Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing sitting on the top of the mountain. Among them, Yujing Peak is the highest, with an altitude of 1,819.9 meters. It is the fifth highest peak in Jiangxi and the highest peak in the Huaiyu Mountains. It is also the source of the Xinjiang River. Sanqing Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, a world natural heritage site, a world geological park, a national natural heritage site, and a national geological park.
It's very big. I didn't finish playing in two days. I didn't go to the place above Taiqing Palace. Sunshine Coast and Yuhuangding were under maintenance. But the scenery is great. It's nice to camp on a sunny night, but it's a bit cold.
It's a great attraction, but it was shrouded in fog when I went there. The only occasional reveal of its true appearance amazed me.
It was raining in the morning when we arrived at Sanqing Mountain, and we were worried that we would not be able to go up the mountain. Unexpectedly, after we got up the mountain, we felt a feeling of mist, rain and clouds, which was a different kind of scenery. Sanqing Mountain is a granite mountain range, filled with green pines and strange rocks, just like a vivid ink painting.
It was quite cold in autumn, and I didn't see the sea of clouds, but the rocks.
Whether it is beautiful or not depends on luck. When it is foggy, it is all white and you feel quite regretful, but as long as there is a moment of sunshine, you will be pleasantly surprised.
It was already November when we went there, which was considered late autumn. The fog on the mountain was very heavy, and we couldn't see the scenery below the mountain. This way, we wouldn't be scared walking on the suspended plank road. I slept in Sanqing Mountain for one night, and the weather was favorable the next morning, with the sun coming out for a while. The scenery of Sanqing Mountain is spectacular
The catering facilities are not up to date. There is only one restaurant on the mountain. The scenery is very good. You need to have enough physical strength.
There were few people when I went there. It is a Taoist holy place. The scenery is nice, but you need to have strong legs.
The clouds in Sanqing Mountain made me linger. It was the first time I witnessed a large group of white clouds approaching me at close range. The scenery in front of me gradually disappeared and then became clear. It was magical!
I've been there twice. I went camping there on New Year's Day 2016. If the weather is good, the sea of clouds is very beautiful.
It is the first of the four famous mountains in Jiangxi with beautiful scenery and profound Taoist culture. It is a must-see.
Sanqingshan Scenic Area is really too big. Even if you take the cable car, it is still very tiring to walk, but it is really beautiful. My knees were numb and swollen when I walked down the mountain... It is recommended to visit it in two days
The representative of traditional Chinese mountain attractions, it ranks first in my mind! In an area that can be visited in one day, it displays an unparalleled granite peak forest landscape, which is breathtaking.
Self-composed "Visiting Sanqing Mountain"
Tens of thousands of jagged jades stand tall in the southeast and reach the sky
The infinite mountains and rivers are so magnificent, the setting sun gradually dyes the hillside
The ticket to Sanqing Mountain is 275 yuan. In the morning, take the cable car from the south to the mountain. The cable car takes only 8 minutes to go up the mountain.
Near the upper station of the cable car, there is a fork on the right leading to Wanshou Garden. However, if you don’t go to Nanqing Garden on the first day, this road is not recommended! Because it takes a lot of detours from Wanshou Garden to Sunshine Coast!
Rishang Villa is the lowest point in the entire Sanqingshan Scenic Area and also an intersection. You have to climb the stairs to go anywhere.
The azaleas in Sanqingshan are very famous. Every spring, they are all over the mountains and very beautiful. The main viewing location is from the Goddess Hotel to the Horse Head Rock, so if you want to see the azaleas, just choose the right season and the right location.
If Huangshan is a lady from a rich family, Sanqingshan is a beautiful girl from a small family. Sanqingshan is known for its four wonders: strange peaks and rocks, ancient trees and famous flowers, flowing springs and waterfalls, and sea of clouds and fog. In addition to the strange peaks and rocks, what impressed me most was the green trees and flowing water, especially in the west coast scenic area, where you can hear the sound of flowing water from time to time, which is very good.
In the morning, there are buses from Wuyuan County to Sanqing Mountain. You can get to the small shops at the foot of Sanqing Mountain. You can usually store luggage and luggage. It usually costs 20 yuan per suitcase, which is very reasonable.
But the ticket to this scenic spot is really expensive at 230, and they will directly issue a personal accident insurance to you without asking. Am I risking my life to climb the mountain?
Highlight the key points!!!
You must prepare some food, drinking water, power bank, sunglasses, and if possible, it is best to wear gloves because it is very likely that you will really use the crawling...
I must solemnly declare here that the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, pregnant women, and those with children should not walk too far, because it is really too big. I climbed for 6 hours and felt that there were still many places I had not visited. In addition, transportation is basically by walking. Except for the hub station at the beginning of the mountain, there is no cable car throughout the whole journey.
It's beautiful up there!!!
It's worth climbing for 8 hours
But don’t be too persistent, because the cable cars have time limits, so don’t miss the last one!
Highlight the key points!
Maps are very important, you must buy them, otherwise you might get lost in the mountains.
You must return from the same cable car you boarded (if you have luggage storage) because if you take the wrong cable car, you will have to pay hundreds of dollars for a taxi and it will take at least an hour to get back to the original location.
It is said that you need to visit Sanqing Mountain three times to see it clearly. But you really can’t visit it all in one day.
The scenery is really beautiful, with mountains one after another, endless, my legs were broken after walking for 5 hours. I went up with a full stomach, and came down hungry.
Sanqing Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain. Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty once lived here to make elixirs and spread Taoism. Taoism really flourished in Sanqing Mountain after the Tang Dynasty. During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, Taoist Zhan Biyun, who presided over the affairs of Sanqing Palace, presided over the construction of a large number of buildings, which have been preserved to this day. You must wear sports shoes on all the mountain roads. If you don't want to live on the mountain, you must come in the morning. When visiting, go to the west coast first and then visit the east coast. If you want to maintain your physical strength, you should take the cable car.
Sanqing Mountain is really beautiful and picturesque. It's a pity that I couldn't stay on the mountain for one night due to time constraints. I really want to stay in a tent for one night. There are many views to enjoy. The southern part of Waishuangxi Cableway--West Coast--Sunshine Coast--Nanqing Garden--Wanshou Garden, you can see the essence of Sanqing Mountain in two days. It's worth going! I will come again if I have the chance.
The heroes gathered together,
Discuss the Tao and travel freely.
The cliff is 100 feet high.
The vigorous welcoming pine tree.
The wind and rain usher in spring,
Floating in wonderland.
The wine tells of the heroic spirit,
Don't ask where you are going.
The most beautiful scenery is in Sanqing Mountain. It is a world natural heritage site and a world geological park. Its scenery is comparable to or even better than that of Huangshan Mountain.
It was raining when we were climbing the mountain, and the mountain was foggy so we could hardly see anything. There was less fog in Yuer, and the scenery was sometimes visible and sometimes not, so we couldn't see its true appearance, so we couldn't evaluate whether the scenery was good or bad. Judging from the enthusiasm of tourists, Sanqing Mountain is still worth a visit, but don't choose to climb on a rainy day. It's only hard work, no gain. Fortunately, we stayed on the mountain for one night, and the sky cleared up when we went down the mountain the next day, which made up for the regret a little. Here I would like to remind tourists that after exiting the Yushan Railway Station, if you call for a shared bus, you must not take it. It is absolutely a scam, they don't keep their word, and they will raise the price on the spot. The direct bus from the tourist distribution center is not very reliable. Go by yourself, take bus No. 6 in front of the exit to the terminal passenger transport center, and then take the bus to Sanqing Mountain.
Sanqing Mountain is known as the sister mountain of Huangshan Mountain. The mountain is quite dangerous, but the overall safety measures are in place. I took a train from Shangrao to Yushan Station, and then went to Yushan Bus Station to take a bus to Sanqing Mountain. Because I wrote the travel notes a long time after I went there, some things are already blurred. Anyway, I didn't think much about it at the time and got on the bus directly. Later I found out that I went to the other side of Sanqing Mountain, and my inn was scheduled in the direction of Wuyuan, so I had no choice but to spend another 80 yuan to take a local private van to take me to the inn. The name of the inn is Yishan Yishe, which is opened by a young lady. It's very heartwarming. Let's promote it for her. I'm not dragging my feet. You can search it on the Internet by yourself. Anyway, I strongly recommend it. She is a brave young lady with a story. Here are some photos of Sanqing Mountain for your reference. By the way, you should try the candied fruit made from azalea. They are sold at the foot of the mountain. They are delicious.
Sanqing Mountain is probably the highest mountain I have climbed. The most important thing is that I didn't take the cable car the whole way. I walked all the way back and forth. God knows how I did it. I started climbing at six in the morning. It was still very cold in March. There was a lot of moisture on the mountain. My hair was all wet. But the scenery up there is really a fairyland. There is also a plank road hanging on the mountainside. I dare not look down. I can't walk down again if I walk the whole way.
It's really too high!!! I climbed up on an empty stomach and almost couldn't get down!
I spent 500 yuan to see a fog. Because it rained heavily the night before, the mountain was full of fog. People and animals could not be distinguished from each other three meters away. The ticket price was 275 yuan, which included the cable car. If you don't take the cable car, it will take at least four more hours to go up and down. But they will add 10 yuan for insurance. If you don't tell them, they will automatically add it to you. At that time, I was charged 285 yuan, and the carpooling fee was 150 yuan.
I was very excited before going up the mountain, and even spent one yuan to buy a dog-beating stick, which was actually useless. I came down the mountain very quickly because I couldn't take any pictures, and I was left with regret.
The cable car ride is 10 minutes, which is quite long, so you can see how long the road is.
I took a clear photo on the return cable car.
As soon as we arrived, there was a strong wind and heavy rain. Friends who are going up the mountain should pay attention to the weather and come up on a sunny day.
The most gratifying thing is that I took a photo of the Goddess Peak covered with red gauze at sunrise! It has never been mentioned online, so it must be a sudden discovery.
We went there in early April, and it was a sunny day. We climbed the mountain from the south. There are different routes with different scenery. It is best to take different routes for two days. The rocks are very beautiful, and there is a new view with every step. The scenic area is very clean. The food and water on the mountain are carried up by porters, so the price is a little more expensive.
The scenery will be different in different seasons and weather. We walked along the sunny coastline this time. We will climb a different route next time.
When I got to the entrance, there was no long queue like at Huangling, so I finally didn't have to worry about queuing again. The ticket was over 100 yuan, but if I didn't buy the cable car, I would have to walk for 3 or 4 hours to get to the mountain, and then walk for several more hours on the mountain. I decided to buy the cable car, which was 285 yuan for a round trip, which was a bit expensive. The cable car closed at 5:30.
We took the cable car to the mountain. We saw on the map that Sanqing Mountain is divided into four major scenic areas. On the right is the Stone Forest (Nanqing Garden Scenic Area), on the left are the mountains (Sunshine Coast + West Coast Scenic Area), another is the Yujing Peak Scenic Area, and another is the Sanqing Fudi Scenic Area, which should be the concentration of Taoist buildings. I decided to come here to camp again if I have the chance, to watch the stars, the sunrise, and the sea of clouds. Sanqing Mountain is indeed a place worth visiting again.
The advantage of Sanqingshan over other mountains is that the stones are really lifelike. Other places are 30% like and 70% imaginative, while Sanqingshan is 70% like and 30% imaginative.
A little scientific knowledge: Sanqing Mountain is a mountain, but it has two scenic areas, Sunshine Coast and West Coast. This is because Sanqing Mountain was submerged by sea water three times, and these two coasts were the coastlines at that time.
I particularly like the artistic conception of the Sanqing Palace area. It is shrouded in clouds and mist like a fairyland. It is a bit tiring to visit it in just one day.
The day I went there was very crowded. It took me 3 hours to buy the ticket and start climbing. I started climbing at 12:00. The mountain was very big. I spent an afternoon climbing Nanqing Park.
It's not fun at all! After the cable car goes up, the road from the bottom to the top of the mountain is very tiring! It's like a nightmare. Don't go if you are not physically fit. The scenery is average. I admire those porters and bridgemen, 👍👍👍👍
Sanqingshan is known as the Little Huangshan, but I think the entire scenic area is as rich as Huangshan, especially in terms of Taoist culture and alpine rhododendrons, which are quite unique.
It is said that Mount Sanqing is rainy and foggy all year round, and there are more than 200 days of fog in 365 days, so in the morning, we took a lung-clearing walk in the fog, which felt like a cyclamen covered by fog. In the afternoon, the sun occasionally showed its face, giving us a glimpse of the majestic appearance of Mount Sanqing, and because the plank road was well designed, it took us 5 hours to complete the circumambulation of the main peak, Yujing Peak.
About the cost: 275 yuan per person, including tickets and cableway. As a world geological park and 5A scenic spot, including some scenic spots and some challenging climbs, such as Wanshou Garden and Yixiantian, this price is worth it now.
Winter is not a good season to visit famous mountains. There is often rain, snow and fog. It was drizzling when we arrived at Sanqing Mountain. We could hardly see the road. We relied on the wind to blow away the rain a little bit. It was absolutely stunning. I look forward to coming here next summer. I personally think it is no worse than Huangshan.
The mountains and sea of clouds are great, with strange rocks everywhere, and it is worth a visit. Whether the weather is good or bad, there are different scenery. You can't see the clouds and sea of clouds on a clear day. It's a pity that I couldn't see the sunrise. If you want to see the sunrise in Yutai, it's best to stay in Dasanqing or Goddess Hotel. It's better to set up a tent directly on a hot day, because it really takes a lot of physical strength to get to Yutai. It takes at least 45 minutes from Tianmen Villa to Yutai. It took me more than an hour to walk and stop. Things on the mountain are really expensive, especially accommodation and meals. A pot of Chinese cabbage costs 38 yuan, rice costs 8 yuan per person... 500 a night without air conditioning, only electric blankets, and hot water is available for a limited time. If you go during the peak season, be mentally prepared.
First, let me summarize Sanqing Mountain with a few lines of poetry:
Deep in the clouds, among the misty mountains,
The Three Pure Ones are majestic and beautiful, like a landscape painting.
We set off at 7am, took the southern cableway up at 9am, and returned at 4pm after a round trip around the west coast and the Sunshine Coast. Due to the foggy weather, visibility at the top of the mountain was extremely low. As a photography enthusiast, I could only take a few photos at the foot of the mountain...
By the way, I would like to make some suggestions. First, there is a serious lack of toilets and the sanitary environment of the toilets is particularly poor. As a national and world 5A heritage scenic spot, the toilets will leave a bad impression on international friends...
Secondly, there are few signboards on the road and few slogans advocating civilization, which is not as good as Qingcheng Mountain...
Finally, it is suggested to set up some free hot water points on the mountain so that the elderly and children can drink water conveniently...
The scenery of Sanqing Mountain is very beautiful. It is easy to go up but the way down is quite steep. Although I didn't reach the highest peak, it was still nice. If you go there during the Chinese New Year and want to stay in the mountain for a day, you should book a hotel in advance because it is basically more than 800-1000.

It was foggy, visibility was low, and it was drizzling, like fog, rain, and wind! If the weather is good, it is really worth visiting. The full price of the peak season ticket is 275 yuan.
It's really beautiful and worth a visit. The snow scene is beautiful.
The scenery of Sanqingshan Scenic Area can be compared with that of Huangshan Mountain. Although it is slightly inferior, it cannot conceal its beauty.
The cleaners in the scenic area are very conscientious and the environment is very clean. The scenery is also beautiful, especially the west coast and the sunny coast. However, I personally feel that the entire scenic area is not humane enough - there are very few rest pavilions for tourists, and even fewer seats. The food is nearly one-third more expensive than the food in Guifeng Scenic Area in Yiyang County.
