We crossed the Mengzhen Bridge, visited the Fudi Cave Heaven, and the place where Zhang Sanfeng attained enlightenment. From Yitianmen to Santianmen, we passed Xuantian Taisu Palace and Yuehua Tianjie. The scenery along the way blended natural beauty, tranquility, and religious culture. We hiked to Fangla Village on the back mountain, the Danxia landform, and Ziyun Pass, with distant views of the Five Elders Peak. We passed through Yixiantian and Yuxu Palace, and then looped counterclockwise back to Wangxian Tower. We could choose to descend the mountain via Shangxiang Road, passing Dengfeng Bridge, or take the cable car. Qiyun Mountain offers rapeseed fields in spring and golden rice paddies in autumn.

This little-known clifftop village, suspended on three sides and boasting a 300-year history, sits atop a mountain like a lost secret, veiled in the drifting mist. While there's no road access to this area, there's an observation deck on the mountain opposite the village, just a dozen minutes' walk away. It offers a panoramic view of the village and is also a great spot for photographing the sea of clouds.
